I saw the baby trend snap-n-go is on sale at target for under $30, so I was thinking about grabbing one. Has anyone used it with a Chico Keyfit 30 and how do you like it? My original plan was to get a Mountain Buggy Nano since you can put the infant seat on it, but this is way cheaper. Our only stroller right now is a Bob so the nano would be baby seat holder and then later stroller to keep in the car. I don't want to get the snap and go if it's a pain to use with the Chicco and then regret not just springing for the nano. Thoughts?

@Jennibenni: The snap n go is awesome. I think it works the same with any car seat. There's just a strap that goes around the car seat (like over the top near the baby's lap). It's very easy.
It's not for like off roading and if you live in a city where you walk a ton I wouldn't use it as your primary stroller or anything. But for us it was great if we needed to take a taxi and it was amazing for the airport when he was still in the bucket. -
That's a great deal on a snap and go!!! I didn't have one with my first two but I think I'll get it with my 3rd! It should work with the key fit

I've borrowed a Snap-N-Go w/ LOs 2 and 3 -- they have such a short time that they are useful (at least for us...) that it wasn't worth it to buy one if someone had one they weren't using! But that is a decent price and you can always resell it.
The Chicco works fine with it. I don't even use the strap, basically just set the seat in. It doesn't technically "snap" in, but I was fine with how safe (or unsafe...ha) it was without the strap for things like quick errands/mall/etc.

@SweetiePie: @KayKay: That was mainly what I was wondering, if it was easy to put the seat in and seemed secure, since I read that the Chicco didn't snap in. Thanks!
-
@Jennibenni: Yeah none of them actually snap in. But I agree with @KayKay: that I didn't even always strap it in. Especially if it was just a quick in and out errand.
I think that while it's a short lived product, it's useful and cheap enough that it's still totally worth it, even full price. I sold mine for half of what I spent and prob could have gotten more but I'm in an apartment and just wanted it to move fast. And it did!

I have a snap n go that my older sister gave me and I borrowed the Nano from my younger sister when traveling (strapped in the keyfit 30). I guess which to buy depends on how you will use it. The snap n go is much faster to assemble and drop the car seat into but doesn't really fold up compactly and won't work for airplane travel. When we go to school every day to drop off or pick up my bigger kid, the snap n go is fast and easier than the nano. The nano was amazing for travel but it does take a minute longer to strap the car seat into. Our main stroller is the baby jogger city mini so the snap n go was really only helpful for maybe 6 months. If you are using it on bumpy surfaces, the nano is a legit stroller and a smoother ride but it's pricey if you aren't planning on using it as a main stroller or is you don't travel via plane frequently.

@Shantuck: I actually loved the SnG for airplane travel! Because I could just gate check it and since it was so cheap I didn't care if it got banged around.
-
@Shantuck: That's really helpful, thank you! I really didn't and still don't do a ton of strollwrinf with my first, just in and out of the car at certain places. We don't do a lot of air travel, so it sounds like the snap and go may be just fine and then when he outgrows that we can get another stroller depending on our needs at the time. Thanks for the input!

@KayKay: same uses for us - I was gifted one with my first and have used it each time for errands and quick trips while baby is really little

That's an amazing price! Get it!The snap n go was the best purchase I made for LO#2. Honestly looking back, I have no idea why I didn't get it the first time. DS is 7 months and I have used it every day. It takes one second to fold out or fold down. I use the Chico Keyfit 22 with it so I imagine it's similar. It doesn't snap in but seems secure with the way it fits. I do use the strap all the time. I use it for quick errands but also for long walks if the baby has fallen asleep in the car and I am meeting friends at the park. It was the only stroller I used actually until he was 6 months. I had got mine for 50$ off Kijiji but I would have been fine paying anything at this point because I use it all the time.
I will say I definitely prefer my Quinny now that he can go in it for any rough terrain. But with the snap n go, it's perfect for malls or any place with nice paths. Also using it in the airport was a breeze.
