Ugh - So Confused over Strollers and Car Seats!
right now I'm registered for the Chicco Keyfit 30 and Trevi stroller and then the Baby Jogger City Mini. BUT, I keep thinking maybe I should change to something like the Snugride 32 and snap n go and a McLaren stroller.
Help!

Re: Ugh - So Confused over Strollers and Car Seats!
well there is a recall associated with the city mini posted here last week so I would do a search for it.
I know the chico keyfit is an extremely popular stroller/carseat combo.
For any stroller that you are looking at I would do the following test drive:
- Lift the stroller up. See if you can easily fold the stroller and put it on top of the car bench seat to simulate putting it into a trunk.
- How easily can you open the stroller one handed?
- Push the stroller with the carseat in it around the store with a teddy bear. See how it feels to put the car seat into the stroller and take it out. Do it a couple of times.
- How easy is it to strap the teddy bear into the stroller?
- How does the stroller handle turns?
- Take the stroller to the clothing section. Can you fit the stroller nicely between the racks? Does it maneuver well?
- How does it take a pocket book, does it tip over? Will you need a clip to attach a pocket book or diaper bag to the handles?
- Can you easily fit stuff underneath in the storage basket?
- Bring a bottle of soda/water in a size you usually drink with you to the store. Does that bottle fit into the cup holder? Is it easy to get into/out of the cup holder with one hand?
- Is there a sippy cup holder for DC? What about a snack tray?
- How does the fabric feel?

Us too!
We were going to go with the Trevi so the keyfit30 would snap into it, but we went back last weekend and tried the keyfit30 with the baby trend snap n go and it fit great! It doesn't snap but goes in deep enough that it's very sturdy plus we'll use the strap.
We also were going to get the adapter for the city mini but it doesn't fit great with the keyfit30. Plus, the snap n go is the same price as the adapter for the city mini so we went with the snap n go.
Haven't used any of it yet so i'm no expert but that is what we went with.

We have the snap and go which seems so convenient, the Peg Perego Skate and the BOB Revolutionary Jogger. I am in love with all of them but at the same time have yet to use them lol!
