Carseat help?

FaithRocksFaithRocks member
in Success after IF

Hey everyone, I guess I really need DH to bring me my "baby bargains" book. I'm sorry to keep bothering you about all of this. I need to get a carseat - the in laws bought us our travel system but I think that the best thing would be to leave it in Ohio and get something here since it's so big, etc. So I need to get an infant carseat to use for when baby comes. Any recommendations (personal or baby bargains, etc) for a relatively inexpensive infant carseat? Thank you!

One more question - do I really need a stroller for his first few weeks of life? If so, can I get away with a snap n go?

    Baby Bargins recommends the Graco SafeSeat as one of the best infant carseats - it goes up to 30 pounds. However, it is bulky. We bought ours at BRU.

    I recommend the Graco Snugride. It's one of the lightest so its easier to carry (which really does become important) and it exceeds safety ratings.

    I was reading my baby bargains last night after I looked up your last question. The snugride scored way better than the safeseat (both graco) on the new advanced testing or something, but they both me the minimums. If you have the car seat, can dh just bring it the next time he comes? Then you could just buy the base. I would stick it out with a snap and go or nothing vs buying a seperate stroller for when you are there if you don't want to bring your whole travel system.

    I would agree that you should just have your car seat from the travel system with you in Texas.  If DH can bring it when he comes, or ship it to you, that way you'll have it for the trip back home after your little one is here (hopefully a long time from now!).  The snap and go should be fine for what you will need it for in the beginning. 

    Good luck!

    oh we used the snap n go for months before even using the reg stroller.  so you can hold out on the stroller for a long time.  if your baby is small and not heavy, then they will be in the infant car seat for a long time. 

    we have a graco one.  loved it.

    We have the Safeseat by Graco....ours went up to 30 lbs, I recommend the bigger ones, especially in the winter if you are packing them into the carseat with coats/jackets etc.  The Snugride, however, comes strongly recommended, but if you are going to use it daily, get the Safeseat.

    I used the snap n go up until she was 6 month, or when she had better trunk control.
