did your car seat match your pack n play and other accessories

i realllly like two very different graco patterns. one i like the carseat better and the other i like the pack n play better. but whenever i look them up online i always see the "collection" of items within the same pattern and it looks so nice altogether!

i told my friend about this and she didnt think it matters at all if they matched. and the more i think about it, i dont think the car seat and the pack n play really have anything to do with each other. the pack n play should go with the house and the carseat with the car. at this point i dont plan to get a travel system or matching stroller, instead ill probably get a snap and go and a city mini.

i know im just being silly. its funny cause im not a super matchy matchy person to begin with. but i feel kind of odd registering for completely different patterns! what did you do?

i also attached the pics below so you can see how the two DO NOT go together at all

Not really. I have the graco playard element in splash and the snugride in broad street

Re: did your car seat match your pack n play and other accessories

no they do not. I like matching, but in this case, I researched and picked things that got good reviews

Re: did your car seat match your pack n play and other accessories

I would love for all of them to match, but the 2 car seats I want do not have another items in that pattern collection

Re: did your car seat match your pack n play and other accessories

The car seat and stroller match. They are the "B is for Bear" collection from Graco.

The high chair, pack n play, bouncer, and swing all match, as they are all from the Wild Life by Carter's collection.

I didn't *need* them to match, but I did want some cohesion for things and it worked out that I loved everything in the Wild Life collection and then loved the infant car seat and stroller combo from the B is for Bear collection.

Re: did your car seat match your pack n play and other accessories

no. but since my PNP had a chance of being in my living room, i got it in brown so that it matched my earth-tone living room!

Re: did your car seat match your pack n play and other accessories

my PNP and swing match, it's Graco Posie, my travel system in Safety 1st Aerolite Eiffel Rose, my bouncer seat is baby trend gabriella, and my high chair is the chicco polly

i figured that all that needed to match was the PNP and the swing.

Re: did your car seat match your pack n play and other accessories

mine wont match at all. i like the graco zoey car seat and the pnp in lilly. they are totally different

Re: did your car seat match your pack n play and other accessories

Carseat and stroller matched. Pack and play and high chair went more with our home decor

Some of my stuff matches in patterns...but my car seat doesn't

Re: did your car seat match your pack n play and other accessories

No, they don't match at all.

Re: did your car seat match your pack n play and other accessories

yes, but only because the infant seat was part of a travel system so it matches the stroller. the convertible carseat doesn't match anything.

Re: did your car seat match your pack n play and other accessories

Nope mine doesn't match

Fyi - that carseat I believe is a graco safeseat - u might want to make sure it goes in the snap and go

Re: did your car seat match your pack n play and other accessories

i got the rittenhouse too!

Re: did your car seat match your pack n play and other accessories

I have the Graco snugrides in Zarafa and High Street Green and our pack n play is Graco Mondo which is discontinued. I don't think the matching matters.

High Street Green (DH's car seat)


Pack n play in Mondo

Re: did your car seat match your pack n play and other accessories

Nah, I went by reviews and picked neutrals we liked...we don't even have matching brands on the car seat and pnp

Re: did your car seat match your pack n play and other accessories

I LOVE both the car seat and pack and play you chose! Never seen either, I want those! Where did you find them?? I feel like I always see the same ones at BBB and BRU.

Since I am Type A, I would really love if everything matched however, I don't think it's going to be possible.

Re: did your car seat match your pack n play and other accessories

I was originally thinking everything needed to match but then decided that it really didn't matter at all. I wanted the items that would be used in my house to match that. And the car seat I wanted to match my car. OK so I do like things to go just not necessarily with each other.

Re: did your car seat match your pack n play and other accessories

Ours do by accident... we chose the pattern of the pack and play and the pattern of the carseat then realized they matched lol I don;t think it really matters though.

Re: did your car seat match your pack n play and other accessories

Don't match at all, and don't see any advantage in having them all match.
