Car Seat and Strollers

I am hoping someone can help me figure out what I need to do for a stroller that a car seat can click into.......
A family member is giving us a car seat. Does that mean I need to purchase a specific stroller for the car seat or can I buy any stroller and then purchase a car seat adaptor?

Re: Car Seat and Strollers

  • It really depends on brands, but generally speaking if the stroller you buy is not compatible, there should be an adapter you can get. Here are the basics from Lucie's List.

  • Also, make sure you check the carseat's expiration date if it is secondhand!!! My friend gave us a graco with 2 bases- and shortly after I found out it was expired. Never in an accident, but it is expired significantly over a few years. California and other certain other states also have laws regarding car seat donations. Most charity orgs won't accept them.
  • What PP said!

    For DS we got a Peg Perego seat from a friend (never in an accident, used for less than a year only on rare occasions) and we wanted a City Mini GT stroller so we got the adapter.  That carseat expires in January so we traded it in at BRU for a Chicco Keyfit and can use the sama Baby Jogger adaptor kit to use it with our stroller.
  • Thank you everyone!!  So helpful!
