Car Seats and Strollers

Cyingling1

I am trying to pick a car seat and I was between a Chicco KeyFit 30 and a Graco Snugride Click Connect.  I am leaning more towards the Chicco because I heard the Graco is larger and may not fit well in my small car. 

My sister suggested getting just a stroller frame kind of thing to use with the car seat because her stroller was very heavy and hard for her to deal with when the baby was still in the infant seat.  Did anyone do this?

Also, if I get the frame I was still thinking I should get a regular stroller so that if we are just walking around the neighborhood the baby doesn't need to be in the car seat.  Is this a good idea or silly?

This is my first and I am so overwhelmed so any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thank you for the links!  I am horrible with finding threads.

Love my Chicco! If u go with that, I would look into the Chicco lite way plus. It is an umbrella stroller that can be used as an infant seat carrier. It is light weight and easily fits in the trunk of a small car.

Yes, I got a Snap and Go (or something like that!) and never regretted it! It was so nice to be able to take a sleeping baby from the carseat base and into the stroller without having to remove from the carseat!!

Just wanted to add that the liteway stroller is 50% off at 3 of the Targets near my house.  Might be near you too

We have the Chicco and a Baby Jogger City Mini. We have the car seat adaptor to use with the infant seat when we need it. Loved it for DS!

We had the Chicco and just used a Snap and Go, which we loved. We also had a BOB stroller for walks and runs as she got older. We never had the need for a "regular" stroller until we went to Disney this year and got a Chicco Liteway.
