baby jogger city mini and snap and go?

anne.azano

I bought a snap and go to use with my graco snugride, and then I got the City Mini for when the baby got older.  But, now that I have the city mini set up, it seems so light and easy to use, that I'm wondering if I need the snap and go at all.  Would I be better off returning the snap and go and getting the car seat adapter for the city mini instead?  Or is it worth it to have both?

Thanks for your help!

I personally would return the snap and go and get the adapter. My sister has a city mini and has always said she would have done that

I have the Chicco Keyfit and got the keyfit carrier stroller.  I plan to get the city mini once he outgrows the carseat.  The reviews for the adapter are not good.  Many parents state that it was very difficult to put together and that it wasn't very stable.

City mini updated the adaptor this summer and the new one gets good reviews.

i got the city mini GT with adaptor. Now my baby is not here yet, but we opted out of snap and go for a few reasons...

i think the steering and wheels suck on it.

My DH is 6'6 and could barely push it.

another FTM, but these are all very valid points to me. We just bought a city mini, and I think this is the route we're going to go as well.

We have the City Mini GT and we used the adaptor, which was easy enough but it made the stroller feel a bit top heavy and bulky.  If I had to do it all over again, I would have bought a Snap N Go to use with the infant car seat. But, still bought the CM GT for our regular stroller. It's awesome!

This. The only thing I had to store was the little adapter bar, which was nice. The snap n go is kind of a waste of space, IMO. Someone mentioned bad reviews and the adapter bar being unstable. If its unstable, it's not installed properly. Once the infant seat is snapped on to the adapter, it's not going anywhere.

We have the city mini and adapter bar for our Chicco car seat. Loved that combo when DD was young! We will be getting a similar set up for our double stroller.

I would return the Snap N Go and get the adaptor. I wish I had done that when DS was a newborn.  I used a Snap N Go for the first several months, then got a City Mini.  I hated how the SNG pushed.

Thanks for all your help ladies!  I think I'm leaning towards getting rid of the snap and go.  I'm trying to be somewhat minimalist about all this and I like the idea of having one less piece of equipment around!
