We are borrowing it from a friend, so just have to go and pick it up. We are borrowing the snap n frame stroller as well. DH wants the Bob SE as the everyday stroller, so unless we get it as a shower gift, we will hold off on getting it till she is a little bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-assemble-the-car-seat-amp-stroller#post-487835 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 08:22:54 +0000 JoJoGirl 487835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We assembled the stroller the day we bought it because we were so excited. The car seat will probably wait til we're packing hospital bags at ~36 weeks because we'll want to just install both bases then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-assemble-the-car-seat-amp-stroller#post-487830 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 08:20:07 +0000 MamaBehr 487830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the stroller out and ready to go much earlier than I would have liked, my MIL insisted on it. She came to paint the nursery in early January and my due date was March 6. She also insisted on putting everything together that we had, and I wasn't opposed to it. However, that made those last few weeks horrible! I remember flipping off all the baby stuff as I went through the house because I was so angry I was still pregnant ahahahahaha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-assemble-the-car-seat-amp-stroller#post-487825 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 08:14:06 +0000 ValentineMommy 487825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stroller was given to us at the shower, and it was assembled (I had a "green" shower, with no wrapping or packaging) by my parents. They wanted to make sure everything was good with it.</p> <p>The carseat we installed over the weekend. I'm almost 35 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-assemble-the-car-seat-amp-stroller#post-487664 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 01:03:46 +0000 HLK208 487664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>35 weeks, I was so ready and anxious by that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-assemble-the-car-seat-amp-stroller#post-487663 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 00:51:08 +0000 HabesBabe 487663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes they need to off-gas, too. We did ours during the last month of my pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-assemble-the-car-seat-amp-stroller#post-487650 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 00:06:46 +0000 travelgirl1 487650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About a day before my due date - we were very disorganized, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-assemble-the-car-seat-amp-stroller#post-487635 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 23:39:42 +0000 MusicaV 487635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got them around 34 weeks and opened them right away. DH had a blast driving our UB Vista around our home and over furniture to test the suspension. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-assemble-the-car-seat-amp-stroller#post-487597 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 23:08:58 +0000 ladyfingers 487597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Carseat: 30ish weeks<br /> Stroller: still in the box at 35 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-assemble-the-car-seat-amp-stroller#post-487260 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 20:32:36 +0000 birdofafeather 487260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: yeah and playing around with all the settings and stuff was good too. i feel more comfortable with them now although having a tiny human in there will probably freak me out all over again. ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-assemble-the-car-seat-amp-stroller#post-487256 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 20:31:07 +0000 shopaholic 487256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: Yikes! That's my concern too. Having something wrong with them and then not realizing it. I guess we'll bust the boxes open this week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-assemble-the-car-seat-amp-stroller#post-487238 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 20:25:53 +0000 autumnlove 487238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH assembled the stroller a month before my EDD. We put the seat bases in our cars around the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-assemble-the-car-seat-amp-stroller#post-487229 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 20:22:13 +0000 Bao 487229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got them around 28 weeks I think, and did it then because it was fun :) You never know when LO will come...never hurts to be extra prepared. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-assemble-the-car-seat-amp-stroller#post-487225 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 20:20:52 +0000 birdofafeather 487225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we set them up right away and i'm glad we did because the stroller had a broken part that we had to get the manufacturer to send a new one of. then they sat at my in-laws house for months. and now they are in my house! yikes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-assemble-the-car-seat-amp-stroller#post-487134 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 19:42:48 +0000 Weagle 487134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right away! There's not much assembling to do. I wanted to play with it all, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-assemble-the-car-seat-amp-stroller#post-487128 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 19:38:23 +0000 lovehoneybee 487128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like 37-38 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-assemble-the-car-seat-amp-stroller#post-487118 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 19:36:01 +0000 mrskc 487118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bugged DH for weeks to do the car seat and put stuff together. We finally did it around 35/36 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-assemble-the-car-seat-amp-stroller#post-487101 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 19:28:05 +0000 hilsy85 487101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stroller, when we got it at like 26 weeks. Car seat was installed while I was in the hospital after delivery :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-assemble-the-car-seat-amp-stroller#post-487086 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 19:21:24 +0000 mole 487086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that we are going to be putting ours together sometime around 35-36 weeks. I have no idea if that is late or early! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-assemble-the-car-seat-amp-stroller#post-487084 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 19:19:38 +0000 shopaholic 487084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got our stroller in December and our car seat (registry gift) arrived today. I'm only 31 weeks, so it seems really early still to take them out of the boxes to set them up and stuff. I think I should check them to make sure everything works and learn how to to use them, but then they'll just be sitting there collecting dust right? I doubt we'd fit them back into their boxes. </p> <p>When did you start setting up car seats and strollers? </p>
