travel systems/ car seats/ strollers????

Anyone looking into strollers/travel systems??? I was reading up on the Graco Aire3, Graco fast action, and Graco modes (which I tried and loved but was completely overwhelmed by).... I know I do not like the way the chicco handles! I liked the Britax but don't really love the stroller part.


I plan to mostly use the snap and go in the beginning but need both a car seat and a stroller and it seems more cost effective to buy a travel system!!! (So my stroller will be used mostly for an older infant/toddler)

TIA

I'm no help because we're going with different brands for stroller and car seat so that we could get what we wanted in both. My friend however is looking into the Bob system w/ their newest model, I forget exact name because she likes all the features.

I just feel like its so much more $$$$ to piece it outChat Icon

I really only need the car seat now, because I plan to only use the snap and go in the beginning BUT figured its a better deal buying it together....

If you have the baby bargains book, check out what they say. I have it at home otherwise I'd look now - but can look later.

Agreed, it all totally adds up!

It's also a good option to just get the car seat adapter for whatever stroller you really like. The infant car seat days are limited. You can also buy a used snap and go for the time being and get your favorite stroller.

I am getting a Britax car seat and a city mini stroller. Buy buy baby sells the adapter for $19.99 that lets you turn it into your own travel system. I liked the city mini stroller better than the Britax stroller which is why we decided to go this route.

I'm similar...registered for the Britax B-Safe infant seat and the City Select stroller. I also registered for the Britax B-Nimble for the times I don't want to use the City Select. The B-Nimble is more of a lightweight/umbrella stroller but you can also use it as a travel system with the infant seat.

Hmmm I am intrigued by the Britax B-Nimble. For my umbrella stroller I registered for the Uppababy G-Lite but its pretty cool that the Britax can be compatible with the B-safe infant seat as well! Decisions, Decisions!
