Which car seat are you getting?

We were considering getting the Orbit Infant System (stroller/car seat). I don't know if we should just get a normal stroller and then get a separate car seat and a snap and go.

Graco is supposed to make the best car seats, right?

We registered for a travel system stroller and are registering for this Britax car seat.

I've read and was told in the stores that Britax is #1 for car seats...

We got the Orbit infant system and plan on using the car seat that comes with it...

May I ask why you wouldn't want to use that one? (just curious if you have safety concerns as now I am worried...lol)

Re: Which car seat are you getting?

the 2 best rated infant carseats are the graco snugride and the chicco keyfit. (we're have the chicco in 'race') we chose the chicco over the graco becuase we found it easier to snap into the base unit.... (Go to BRU and test them out!)

I'm not sure about the convertible carseats for later on. a lot of people love the britax, but they have a reputation of being rather large, and occassionally not fitting well into sedans.

we have a maxi cosi carseat for when Scone gets larger.....

Re: Which car seat are you getting?

I am only unsing the infant seat to leave the hospital. After that I will be using the Britax Boulevard.

This is what I have for DS and I love it. I hated the Graco travel system although many people love it. Graco is safe, so if that is your concern you are fine there.

Re: Which car seat are you getting?

Infant carseat- Most likely we are getting the Graco Snug ride to go with the Graco frame...

If not, the Peg Perego Viaggio to go along with the stroller we might get...

We are definitely getting this convertible carseat...
