Best travel system on a budget?

We are looking for a travel system that is priced well, but will still be safe for our little one. What travel system did you get/ will you be getting?

Re: Best travel system on a budget?

  • Something $300 or less is what we are thinking. By safe I mean that it will hold up well and stay in place. I have read reviews where the car seat doesn't latch well into the stroller and bobbles around while your are walking.

  • Lucie recommends the Britax B-Agile stroller + B-Safe car seat for a travel system. That is the first one we are going to look at if we ever get to Babies R Us. I think it's around $500, but that's Canadian.

  • We got the Graco Click Connect. Just tried it out at Babies R Us and loved it. We got ours on sale for $319.
  • I think you can find a lot of good deals on Britax right now - they have some new stuff coming out.  I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple of deals with the infant seat included.  I'm not sure if they're phasing out the B-Safe seat or they'll have the standard and the B-Safe 35, but I assume the introduction of the new seat is behind a lot of the deals they're offering.

  • We went with graco. We didn't get a system because I liked one if the strollers that didn't come with a system (but still connects) I think their systems are on amazon & over stock for like 250-350$.
  • There's a lot of good deals right now too. The SavvyBump.com keeps up with all the Amazon price changes so you may find a good deal, or check out the PSA: Great Deals thread on this board because sometimes they'll get mentioned too.

  • Chicco key fit with the trio bravo stroller. Orginally wanted the britax but was slightly bigger so didn't fit as well in my vehicle.
  • We got the Britax travel system (b-agile stroller and b-safe car seat) for just under $300 on amazon around black friday.  It looks like the price has went up slightly, but still a good deal.
  • I also got b-agile/b-safe for $297 on Amazon (plus 5% cash back with my Chase Visa, woohoo!)

    I've also heard there is new stuff coming out so you might get an even better deal on the system in the coming months if you watch closely.
  • We got the Graco Aire 3, it's being discontinued at babies r us so it was $100 off. We like the Britax b agile except for how the car seat attaches to the stroller and how you remove it. You need to go to a store and try them out for your self and see what works for you.
