I'm a single mother 33 weeks. Not much help around. Looking to purchase a car seat and stroller. I don't make much money so my budget is pretty tight. I need a nice brand for an affordable price. I wouldn't like to spend no more the $200 all together. Please help
We had the Graco Click Connect system with my DD, and we liked it. It's under $200 at most stores. We had the jogging stroller, which we loved but it is more $$$.
If you are on a tight budget consider skipping an infant seat and getting a convertible car seat. (Be sure to pick a convertible with low harness straps to fit your newborn.) Evenflo Sureride or Titan 65 will last your child a long time and it is very budget friendly. (Most people will only use their infant seats for the first 6 months or so.)
Or get an inexpensive infant seat and a snap n go from Craigslist or consignment store. You can get a nicer stroller for when baby is a bit older.
I recieved a graco touring system as a gift at my shower and sold it later on Craigslist (the stroller) for very little when I had my second child. You can buy a nice used stroller for $50 and a car seat but I don't suggest buying those used ( you don't know the history if in an accident, can't be used, car seats expire)
I agree with PP that a convertible seat will last longer and infant seats are kind if a waste. They are only handy for carting baby around really.
Sorry, I'm late to the party but have you looked into the Urbini Omni travel system? It is only sold at walmart but both the stroller and car seat have excellent reviews and it is $199 total. I've not actually seen one in person yet (a little too early for me), but I was really attracted to the design, it's lightweight AND has a bassinet. Most strollers with bassinets are way over $500.
You might consider looking into a consignment store for strollers and buy just the matching car seat new. It may or may not save you some money. We have the chicco cortina travel system and Once Upon a Child had soooo many of those strollers available, I'm kinda mad I didn't consider that before I bought the whole travel system.
