niknak1128

I'm going to  Mom2Mom Sale with my mom tomorrow..  I'm looking for convertable car seats and a jogging stroller...  anyone have some good recommendations?  or an idea of what a good price would be for these used items? 

 Thanks.

For jogging strollers, I like the original jogger or a bob stroller, both are great. As for convertable car seats - I have a Britax and love it. If you can find one there, totally get it. For infant seats  I have a graco and love it too. Good luck at the sale!

Ditto the Graco infant seat. One caveat though: if you buy used you need to:

1. make sure it has NEVER been in an accident

2. will be used within 5 years of manufacture. Graco recommends disposing of seats afterwards. I don't know if the wear voids warranty and safety protection, but 5yrs is their limit.

Stroller wise we have a City Elite Baby Jogger and love it! They look uncanily like the Bobs but have a frikkin' awesome collapsing mechanism that the Bobs don't. If they have one around look at it.

Convertible seat wise, if you're buying used you should look at the Britax seats. New they're $300 (a little rich for my taste), but they get good mom ratings. We're planning on buying an Alpha Omega Elite carseat new. They get slightly better Consumer Report ratings and are half the price of the Britax Boulevard.

I don't know if there are any year restrictions on convertible seats like there are on the infant ones.

Have fun shopping!
