Car Seats

Goldiva · September 2013

I've been looking at car seats & travel systems for a while now & can't decide which to go with. What brands/models have you or will you purchase?

peanutmuse · September 2013

I decided on the Chicco KeyFit30 today.

jldubb0626 · September 2013

I have the Graco travel system. The car seat worked until DS was about 9 months and I still use the stroller today. Once DS outgrew the carseat, I got the Safety 1st convertible car seat.

Goldiva · September 2013

I really like that one. Thx!

BrittNR · September 2013

We are getting the Chicco keyfit 30 as well...

MindyBadger1 · September 2013

I'm going with britax b agile travel system. FTM, so don't have any experience to back it up.. Just seemed to be the closest thing to what I was looking for.

ksonne · September 2013

We have a Chicco Keyfit 30 that we used for DS1 and will reuse for DS2.

cpm1223 · September 2013

We are going with the britax b-safe/agile stroller system.

sleepymonkey · September 2013

FTM so no experience here but we're going with the Britax b-agile stroller and b-safe car seat. We liked the Chicco keyfit 30 but DH preferred the Britax stroller. He thought it was easier to fold and maneuver.

We had the complete opposite experience. We found the Chicco's maneuverability far superior to the Britax, and the suspension will be great for "off-roading." But everyone definitely has a different experience.

The Chicco stroller is definitely bulkier than the Britax, but I registered for one of the frame strollers, so that won't be an issue.

Britax chaperone and BOB stroller.

mrskratt · September 2013

We decided on the Graco Snugride 35

Dishylo · September 2013

We're looking at getting the Guzzie & Guss stroller and for the carseat, either the Chico Keyfit or Graco Snugride. They both fit onto the carseat adapter for the G&G stroller we like and the stroller has both a regular seat as well as a basinet.

SarahA918 · September 2013

I just registered for the chicco Keyfit and the chicco liteway plus stroller. Super excited about it!

ach298 · September 2013

We used the Graco Snugride with DS and will reuse it again with this one. We just used a snapngo stroller or the Moby when we were out and got an umbrella stroller when DS was about 10 months and switched to the Britax Marathon convertible carseat. We ate still trying to decide on a double jogging stroller to get.

KristaBelieve · September 2013

We registered for the Britax B-safe and the B-ready stroller. We loved it and the height was great for my DH who is 6'6".

Jmattis · September 2013

We registered for the Britax B-Safe and B-Agile travel system. My H loved it and we read great reviews. Could you narrow down a few and then test them out at the store?

hurricanekb · September 2013

We went with the graco quick connect jogger travel system. Ftm, but the reviews were great and the carseat is light. And the stroller handle height is high (which was a complaint online) but is great for us tall people!

bananas1112 · September 2013

also doing britax b-agile system but I was told by someone who is a highly informed consumer AND who had their child in one during a car accident that it was what I had to register for and what they were going to get me. seemed only reasonable to comply

fredtheredhead2 · September 2013

We are going with the Chicco Keyfit 30 and Cortina stroller. We had narrowed it down to that or the Britax Be Agile travel system, but liked the Chicco more.

We decided on this as well because my MIL already has a base in her car.

This!

cnctf · September 2013

Were getting the Quinny Zapp and the Maxi Cosi Ap car seat

kw42775 · September 2013

Oh-we are going with the Britax B-Ready stroller, also.

ScarlettDahlia · September 2013

We went with the Graco quick connect system as well. The one second fold was a major selling point

hopeful808 · September 2013

Another graco quick connect jogging stroller/car seat here. I registered for them separate because I didn't like the solid black that it comes in as a travel system in BRU.

lmills730 · September 2013

We are going with the Britax B-Safe 30 which pairs with our BOB stroller.

We bought the Britax B-Agile travel system. It is so light weight and the car seat is so easy to snap onto the stroller. When baby gets too big for the infant car seat, we can use the stroller on it's own!

forevergraceful · September 2013

We are most likely going to get the Maxi Cosi Mico. I really like how light weight it is.

twobluelines · September 2013

We getting the Britax B-safe and the city select jogger stroller. The adapter is only $29 dollars and we liked the city select much better than the b-agile or b-ready strollers. Plus we are going to doing everything we can to give baby girl a sibling before my eggs shrivel up so we are hoping to need a double stroller in short order... but if this doesn't happen the stroller won't scream double stroller every time we use it.

goldenB · September 2013

We will be getting the Chicco Keyfit carseat and the Uppababy Vista as our stroller (sold 100% on the uppababy stroller but trying to outweigh the pros and cons for the Cruz vs the Vista).

mrsjenni · September 2013

I have the Chicco Courtina/Keyfit travel system/car seat. HATE the stroller. LOVE the carseat. Chicco has the highest safety ratings for infant seats, so you can't go wrong there. But Britax is a close second, so that's amazing too. We used the Chicco Keyfit for our first 3, but it expired in July (5 year rule) so we're using my sisters 1 year old Britax infant seat for this baby.

As for the strollers, the Chicco was too big/bulky for me and we ended up using our Maclaren umbrella stroller a lot with DS1. When DD came along, we got a Baby Jogger City Mini double stroller and that was/is FABULOUS. With #3, I wanted a stroller that folded up really small, so we ended up just getting a snap-n-go for the Chicco infant seat and then buying a Quinny Zapp Xtra, which is amazing. Kinda short for tall people like myself/DH, but I'd still recommend it because it's lightweight, folds small and you can move the seats around a lot.

My sister has the Britax B-Ready stroller and that thing is a monster. It takes up her entire trunk. While I do like the stroller a lot (especially it you plan to have a second kid... you can just buy a second seat for that stroller) but it's HUGE.

Honestly, I'm 3.5 kids deep and if I could do it again, I'd probably buy a snap-n-go for the infant seat and then buy a really good stroller (like a Bumbleride or something that has a second seat attachment like the Baby Jogger City Select). If I really wanted a travel system, I'd definitely go with the Britax, for the simple reason that you can buy an attachment for a second seat without buying an entire double stroller again.

Good luck!

apickett925 · September 2013

We're going with the Britax b-safe/b-agile system. We tried out several in BRU, and we were between the Britax & the Graco systems. We have friends with each, so we pushed their kids around in theirs to see if it was much different. Ended up just liking the feel of the Britax better.

rowanthefrog · September 2013

We are getting a Chicco KeyFit!

MissSusieQ · September 2013

We are going with the Chicco key fit 30 and the chicco lighway plus this time. Had the whole chicco travel system with DS. We felt the stroller was just too big and bulky, but it did push nicely.

nikki_rose7 · September 2013

We are going with the new Graco click Connect Travel system, it's a jogging stroller so it has nice air filled tires and the car seat snaps right into it. We tested it out at babies r us and were completely sold. The ride is super smooth because of the air filled tires. AND I really didn't want 2 strollers, a normal one and a jogger so it worked perfectly! And surprisingly it folds up super easy (with one hand) and folds rather small for a jogger.

kteeswei · September 2013

Maxi Cosi AP is only 8 pounds which is why we chose it. Using the bugaboo bee with the car seat, it snaps on. The bee is also light, easy to fold and handles very nicely- pricey but my sister found hers second hand on Craigslist and it looks brand new!

Mrs.Awesome · September 2013

I will be re-using the graco snug ride 35 from the first time around. If I could, though, I would opt for something else. The seat itself is so heavy- add a baby and it becomes pretty difficult to carry.

wedbliss5 · September 2013

We're doing the Chicco Keyfit30, I looked at it and the Britax at BuyBuyBaby, and since I can get my 20% off with the coupon (but not on Britax and several other brands), I'm sold! Plus, I still have an umbrella troller for DD I can reuse, so I wanted to bigger stroller option.

holly142 · September 2013

We went to Babies'R'Us and tried the different carseats in our car. We really liked how the Chicco Keyfit 30 fit into our Ford Escape and registered for that one. We are going to use it with a Bob.
