I can't complain- it was my sis's so I didn't have to buy one. But the infant carrier can be awkard to carry and the stroller a pain to get outa my trunk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-strollercarseat-picks#post-214962 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 07:15:06 +0000 Bluebonnet 214962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Chicco Keyfit 30 and City Mini with the Chicco infant seat adapter. I love it! The stroller is so easy to "drive" and fold up - even with the infant seat adapter. The CM maneuvers so well p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-strollercarseat-picks#post-214853 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 21:15:46 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 214853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chicco keyfit 30 the BOB revolution and Bumbleride Flite. The Flite is an umbrella that can also be a travel system as you can clip the seat to it. I keep it in my car and use it all the time for errands. It also has a bassinet that we used as Baby S's bed for the first 12 weeks. I love the BOB for running and walking since it rolls so nicely. It fits in my SUV. Both are easy to fold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-strollercarseat-picks#post-214852 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 21:14:01 +0000 wheres_c 214852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is not ere yet, but like @sandy we plan on purchasing the graco snugride and the snap and go. Where we live, Florida, it's all driving so wanted something small and easy to open and close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-strollercarseat-picks#post-214851 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 21:09:04 +0000 sandy 214851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the graco snug ride for her infant seat and used the snap and go for the first 4-5 months. I live in the suburbs too and it was so easy to use this for quick trips to the store etc. I kind of miss the snap and go</p> <p>Now we have the diono convertible carseat and got the uppababy vista. I love the vista and its giant basket but it is a large stroller...barely fit in the trunk of our Prius so now we only travel with LO in our SUV </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-strollercarseat-picks#post-214838 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 20:38:17 +0000 calsmom 214838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Orbit G2 carseat/stroller.

We used a snap n go with the car seat for the first six months and it was super light and easy to take in and out of the car and on walks. We recently graduated to a BOB revolution and love it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-strollercarseat-picks#post-214763 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 18:31:36 +0000 erwoo 214763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chicco Key Fit 30 is rated #1 with consumer reports and they also sell a car seat frame stroller that you can snap into. We have the Per Perego with a universal car seat stroller and I like it. We didn't use a stroller with our first until he outgrew his infant car seat since the car seat frame stroller was smaller than his stroller. We'll probably do the same with our second one as well. If I were to do it all over again I would get the Chicco key fit 30 and the matching car seat stroller. :) It maneuvers so much better than the one we have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-strollercarseat-picks#post-214746 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 18:16:38 +0000 Periwinkle 214746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, all!

The straps are easy to adjust, and come with the cushions, and all the pieces (insert, strap cushions) are crash tested together so you know it is safe.</p> <p>The Britax b-ready stroller was probably my most agonized choice. I researched a ton, and was between the Uppababy vista and the B-ready. The B-ready won out because it folded easier, and had way more configurations for using as a double (important to us because we want to have 2+ kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-strollercarseat-picks#post-214682 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 14:35:02 +0000 LouLouBelle 214682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We looove our uppababy vista! It is large but we love it ! LO hatessss her car seat so the Uppababy was perfect for us- she lives in the bassinet it came with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-strollercarseat-picks#post-214677 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 14:01:22 +0000 leelee 214677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Chicco Keyfit 30 and City Elite stroller. We love how the keyfit just drops into the base and how easily the city elite stroller folds up, lays flat and has a adjustable handle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-strollercarseat-picks#post-214650 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 12:49:46 +0000 hilsy85 214650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going with the uppa baby vista and chicco keyfit 30...however, if we were going to be folding it up a lot and taking it in and out of the car, I might go with the uppa baby cruz or the city mini instead...we don't have a car so that wasn't really a priority for us. As for car seat, it was between the graco snugride and chicco keyfit 30 and we went for the chicco because we liked how it looked and it seemed slightly lighter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-strollercarseat-picks#post-214607 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 11:15:58 +0000 autumnlove 214607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Chicco Keyfit 30 carseat and the Keyfit Caddy carseat stroller frame. We really loved this combo for the first 6 months! We also have a Chicco Cortina that is brand new in our closet....I'll probably sell it soon!</p> <p>Just ordered an Uppababy G-luxe umbrella stroller yesterday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-strollercarseat-picks#post-214606 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 11:12:32 +0000 chopsuey 214606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a britax advocate, maclaren volo and bob.</p> <p>I've heard a lot of good things about the uppababy.</p> <p>We don't use our strollers much since we wore our Lo in the ergo a lot. The maclaren umbrella stroller was good for mall trips though </p> <p>Now that Lo walks, she doesn't like being in her stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-strollercarseat-picks#post-214605 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 11:12:16 +0000 prettylizy 214605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Britax chaperone carseat and Britax b ready stroller.

I researched the heck out of carseats and strollers that would fit our lifestyle (similar to yours) and this seemed to be the best for us.</p> <p>As far as a stroller, I was going to get the travel system, until several friends advised me against getting a travel system. I am so glad we didn't because we have friends who did and their four month old has out grown the stroller already! I do run, but by the time he is old enough for the stroller it will be freezing here. Lots of people told me a jogging stroller is still great even if you aren't a jogger. I first registered for the City Mini also for pretty much the same reasons, until I started researching a little further and ended up with the Baby Jogger (same company as CM) FIT. I was shocked at how much my husband loves it! I swear we want to put a little doll in it or stroll around the neighborhood with it empty until LO gets here! Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-strollercarseat-picks#post-214582 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 10:37:40 +0000 Periwinkle 214582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's getting to be the time when we will need to pick out a stroller and carseat and even though we have some ideas of what we want, I thought I wod check in with you expertise! My husband seems to be set on the City Mini GT because of how easy it is to fold but I am wondering if we should continue looking. </p> <p>I am currently staying at a beautiful resort for work where man of th tests have babies and strollers and I have been eyeing every single one! Trying to determine what we need/want is overwhelming!</p> <p>Just a few facts about our lifestyle/needs:</p> <p>-We live in the suburbs and I imagine will be taking the stroller in and out of the car a lot<br /> - We want something that is not too big and bulky<br /> - We are not runners but would like a rugged stroller as we walk on some varied terrain</p> <p>As for the carseat, we do not have any preferences besides the fact that it is safe (obviously!) and not too heavy. </p> <p>Thanks for your thoughts/preferences! </p>
