For quick trips, I either carry him or wear him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-car-seat-adapter-for-your-stroller#post-1940749 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 10:46:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 1940749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyTsMom: I used it longer than most probably, until 8 months ish? But it was winter and it felt easier to keep her warm in the car seat than the big stroller seat. I also love two flights up so I felt like it was easier to carry her up and down the stairs in the seat than a wiggly baby plus bags, but that's pretty specific to my situation! I also liked being able to carry her up in the seat and put her in her room if she was sleeping.<br /> I rarely drive and mostly just walked places.<br /> When I did switch to the stroller seat I kept her facing me for several more months- turned her forward around 13 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-car-seat-adapter-for-your-stroller#post-1940703 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 10:31:00 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1940703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: so LO2 doesn't face you in the stroller? How did your stroller experience feel with world facing vs parent facing at that age? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-car-seat-adapter-for-your-stroller#post-1940700 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 10:29:14 +0000 coopsmama 1940700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never used the car seat adaptor with DS. DD is just about 4 months and we still use it 50% of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-car-seat-adapter-for-your-stroller#post-1940638 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 10:03:53 +0000 autumnlove 1940638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started using an umbrella stroller when LO 1 was 7 months.</p> <p>I started earlier with LO 2 because I hated the car seat adapter for our City Mini double.

I've been using a car seat adapter for my stroller. (LO is almost 15lbs). I hate lugging the car seat in and out of the car, but I can also see it being annoying to get LO out of the car seat and having to strap him into the stroller, especially if it's just a quick trip somewhere. When did you start using the stroller seat regularly? </p>
