We strapped the carseat to a collapsable dolly so it would be easier to take around the airport. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-taking-a-trip#post-1698020 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 09:10:54 +0000 Ginabean3 1698020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: thanks!

I would say LO naps in the stroller 30% of the time. I just see these moms pushing their LOs in non-reclining umbrella strollers but tilted back (like a wheelbarrow) to make them more comfortable when they sleep. And I always think, why the heck didn't they get the reclining one! </p> <p>But....LO is a pretty decent sleeper anywhere.....I think if she was tired enough she could sleep standing up haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-taking-a-trip#post-1698010 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 09:07:17 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1698010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are debating getting a cheap convertible for flying. Something like the Scenera.</p> <p>As far as the stroller recline it's important for us because DD will take a long stroller nap when reclined but only gets a half nap if the seat is upright. When on vacation most of her naps end up being on the go. If your LO won't stroller nap that I imagine it wouldn't be as important. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-taking-a-trip#post-1698002 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 09:05:38 +0000 Anagram 1698002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: I think the reclining feature and how necessary it is really depends on how often you'll use the umbrella stroller and if your LO is a good stroller napper.</p> <p>If you live in a car-centric environment and only use strollers occasioally and an umbrella stroller even less than your regular stroller, I would say paying the extra $$ might not be necessary.</p> <p>Or if your LO doesn't nap in strollers anyway, it's probably not necessary.</p> <p>I have a few Texas friends who splurged on very expensive reclining umbrella strollers and have used it maybe once. As for the convertible car seat--I have no advice. We've flown several times but still with the infant seat. Not sure what we'll do when LO moves up to a convertible soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youre-taking-a-trip#post-1697984 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 08:59:12 +0000 Ginabean3 1697984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>....on a plane with your LO and you need an umbrella stroller and a convertible car seat for your destination. Which ones do you bring?</p> <p>Looking for something economical but not a piece of crap either. I may be taking a trip to St. Louis to visit my brother with LO this summer and I really don't want to lug our Diono car seat or bring our UB Cruz. We currently need an umbrella stroller anyway!</p> <p>Also, regarding an umbrella stroller....how important is it that it reclines? </p> <p>Thanks Bees! And happy Friday the 13th! </p>
