Is there any travel system that comes included with the car seat and a double stroller?




Kathy


I am looking for a double stroller that comes with the infant car seats included. If you know of any please let me know. You can email me.
maria_mejia_4@yahoo.com
Thank you I really appreciate it.



Answer
I don't know of any double stroller that comes with a carseat. If there is one it's probably made by Graco.

Of course, there are many double strollers that accept infant carriers. My favorite is the Chicco Cortina Together double stroller ($300). It is light-weight for a double, folds up almost as small as the single Cortina, and uses the Chicco Keyfit, which is currently Consumer Reports #1 ranked infant carrier.

A less expensive option would be the Baby Trend Sit n' Stand stroller ($129-189). The $189 version has two complete seats, as the older child is ready, the back seat turns into a bench type seat. The child can sit and face you, or stand on a small platfrom and face forward. The less expensive models have a full front seat and the bench style seat in the back. These can accept a Baby Trend, as well as many other brands. I'm not a big fan of Baby Trend Infant carriers because of complaints I have heard from our guests, so I would probably use a Graco Snugride with this stroller.

Graco makes a few double strollers, the lightest and least expensive one is the Graco DuoGlider LX Stroller - Pippin ($149). Only Graco infant carriers will work with this system. The Graco snugride is my second favorite carrier behind the Chicco.

If you want to go a little higher end look at the Phil and Teds ($480 - 700) you can buy adapters for the Graco Snugride, the Peg Primo Viaggio, and the Chicco keyfit for $35.

The best feedback I get for the higher end double strollers is for the Bob ($485-500). I have never had someone who owned this stroller have a complaint about it. You can buy car seat adapters for $89.

Hope this helps, please feel free to contact me with any questions,

baby strollers... make a desission.?

Q. I have been looking in to baby strollers and the one we like the most so far is the Chicco Keyfit travel system. I love the safty fetures and when we tested one out we loved it. But I wanted to hear from other moms that have used this stroller. the pros and cons. Also any suggestions for stroller shopping, we plan to buy our own stroller instead of leaving it up to the baby shower I feel its an important purchase.


Answer
Chicco Key-fit is an amazing stroller. It is light weight, has convenient features for moms, and the design is really nice. The Stroller itself can hold up to 50 pounds, reclines in multiple positions (even all the way which is hard to find), and even has a feature that lets taller kids easily take naps.

The Car Seat was rated a top safety car seat in consumer reports. It has the EPS foam in the car seat that serves as a helmet to protect that little head. You can use the car seat till 22 pounds.

I give you a definite yes you should get this travel system!

baby shower for a second baby?




lizgas


My daughter is 16 months old. She will be 19 months when I have my second baby. I am hopeing I dont get any baby showers. I am having another girl and I just dont like the idea of getting a shower since I am having the same gender. I dont mind celebrating but I dont want people to go out and get me a preasent (typical of a baby shower) If your children are under 2 years apart and had the same gender did you get a baby shower? was it ackward?

I have been saving all of my daughters things. I have things in the closet that never got worn, are too small but they still have the tag on. i know I wont be having anymore children after this (for at least 4-5 years) i know this isnt really a question just figured what you would do in my situation.

I already know what things I do need to purchase, but if you can give me an idea of other things you think i might need.

onesies
new bottles
an umbrella stroller (I already have a chico travel system, or I would like to get one of those cool strollers I can with both children at the same time)
a sling
breast pump (i work full time, last time i used a manual pump and it took too long, i looked in to renting one from the hospital, waiting to see if they work with my insurance, but if you can get me any tips on getting an affordable one)

If anyone suggest to just register for the items I need, well I am soooo Mexican I dont think my relatives really know what a registry is LOL (they didnt pay attention to the registry I had with my daughter LOL)

oh yes I am 18 weeks 5 days



Answer
If someone feels that they should have a shower for the new baby, ask them if they could throw a diaper shower. Diapers are always something you need with new babies. I'm having twins, and I was given two showers, one baby shower, and a diaper shower. I have SOOOO many diapers, but if you leave them in the package, most stores will take them back and let you exchange them for the size that you need.

These days most people feel that every baby should get a celebration, but you can always tell people no thank you. Or, let them buy things and take them back to the store and get what you really need.

Good luck & Congrats!

Is Graco Spree a good travel system for a new born? Any feedback please?

Answer
Although I have a Graco infant seat, I think travel systems are over-rated and cumbersome. Once your baby grows out of the infant seat, you are stuck with this big stroller. The more kids I have, the more I feel the stroller should be lighter, narrower, easy to turn with one hand. Those bigger strollers are hard to navigate in a shopping setting or crowded zoo, etc.

My best friend recommended (she has 6 kids and 2 are twins) buying a snap and go for the infant seat. It's a basic stroller that is very light and made just for the infant seat to snap into. At around $60.00, it won't break the bank. Then, when the baby grows out of the infant seat (around 6-7 months), move into a better stroller like Maclaren. You can get great deals online and free shipping. After you "drive" a Maclaren, you won't like those travel system strollers. I had a travel system that was a gift for my first child, but I always pick my Maclaren.

What do you think of the Baby Trend brand stroller/car seat travel system?




wonderingi


Particularly the "Venture" style. And, did anyone order it direct from the website? If so, where can you take it if there is a problem?


Answer
Love the stroller, hate the car seat, would never buy the travel system.

You can try out the strollers or at least some of the models at Target and Toys R Us/Babies R Us. I love them, they're comfortable for my kids, easy to maneuver, easy to go through sand, dirt, grass, whatever, and I haven't tried out a nicer stroller. I love the large wheels that are bicycle wheels so that it's easy to fix them and for them to go over obstacles. :)

However, I don't like the car seat because you can try them at Target as well, and you have to put the two hooks together then push them into the seat-belt latch, and when working with a restless baby that would be a nightmare. Graco and other infant seats let you push in one side then the other, which makes it a lot easier when you're working with a restless baby.

I also don't like people putting the baby in a car seat outside of the car. It makes the car seat at risk for knocking against things and becoming damaged, as well as it curves the baby. SIDS research says over and over that we need to lay the baby flat or be carrying the baby, and research has proven that while car seats save their lives in an accident you should limit their time in a car seat (or anything that tilts them) to less than 3 hours in a day and no more than 1 hour at a time, and basically not use it in anything but the car.

So the stroller is nice, get the stroller, but order it through something like Target or Walmart's or babies r us so that you can take it there if there's a problem. Skip the car seat, get one that is better and will work better. Carry the baby for the first 4 months, either your arms or a Moby Wrap for a cheaper alternative to something like an Ergo, it's really not hard. Do a search on car-seat breathing and you'll find the studies done about the dangers.

Add: Looked at the stroller. It's not the jogger that I prefer. If you're going to go with that style of stroller, look at the Chicco strollers. They lay completely flat, so it's better for the SIDS aspect, and have better reviews. I honestly wouldn't get a Baby Trend stroller that's not the jogger because they don't push well, don't maneuver, don't move well. It's all about the wheels and those little wheels always are a pain in the neck on strollers.

This is one similar to what I thought you were talking about. They're approved for babies about 2 months up.

what is the best stroller or travel system?

Q. new baby on the way and i am researching strollers, car seats, and pack n plays. what are the best out there?


Answer
Travel systems are bulky and unnecessary. When kept in a car seat a baby can have trouble breathing, and sleeping in the car seat is even worse. So I'm going to talk 'types' rather than brands.

CARSEAT: the current recommendation is to keep your baby rear-facing as long as possible, at least to 2 years old. Look at the first link for information about why rear-facing is so important. There are infant seats that rear-face to 20lbs, and some that rear-face to 30-35lbs. There are also the option of convertible car seats which can go from 5lbs-45lbs (depending on the brand) rear-facing and then forward to as high as 85lbs. The cheapest convertible that goes to 40lbs rear-facing but then is quickly outgrown is the Cosco Scenara available at Wal-mart for $40 (including shipping.) The point being that you want a seat that will rear-face a long time, or if you want to use an infant seat to plan on a rear-facing seat when the baby outgrows the baby seat. I do like the Graco-Snugride 35, which rear-faces to 35lbs, but I've found most babies want to sit up more by 10-12 months and it might be wiser to either get a convertible or get a cheap infant seat and replace it once they're large enough to want a new one.

STROLLERS:
First, for a newborn you want the baby to be able to lay flat (sitting up can decrease oxygen levels.) Also, there is research about babies who face their parents developing better than babies who are faced out towards the public. So, if you can find a stroller that lays flat and faces you then that's what you want. However, it's rather hard to find that, and I personally find that it's easier to get a baby wearing sling (like the Ergo or Moby Wrap) and wear the baby the first 6 months. After that they typically can sit up and it's easier to find a stroller that works for them. Strollers are rarely recalled so you can try them out in the store and then watch to see if someone sells it on craigslist or something. When you try them out try going over different obstacles, larger wheels tend to handle things like sand and obstacles better, but if you're using it for shopping then you want to try weaving in and out of tight corners. If you're using it on parks and trails then you want a different stroller than if you're riding the bus with your baby every day. It's all about where you live and what you're using it for.

Pack n Plays:
Wait on this one. See the second link. As of this year, pack-n-plays FINALLY have a safety standard, and as of last month they have adopted a safety standard for the bassinet attachment (before then they didn't.) There are a lot of deaths from pack-n-plays not working right, and they are not a good place to leave your baby to sleep. With these standards there are exciting changes that probably will happen in just the next year... but it also means there may be a lot of recalls and discontinuing of unsafe pack-n-plays. Also, Disney has just released the first ever machine washable pack-n-play (that's right... before this they were not washable. We can all gross out now.) See third link. To me, that means that the play-yards in the next year or two not only are going to be safer, but they're going to start to be washable! It is NOT worth it to buy a play-yard right now, you'll only regret it in a couple of years when they're better.

BABY CARRIERS:
When I say this I am talking about a chest-carrier, like the Moby Wrap or the Ergo. However there are some like the Baby Bjorn where the baby is dangling from their crotch, and this can contribute to hip dysplasia. The fourth link explains what you want to look for in a wrap, carrier, or sling (or even how to make sure they sit in a car seat.) There are several carriers on the market that hold the baby right, I do personally like the Ergo because it goes from newborn to 40lbs and allows a chest, hip, or back position, the versatility has been something that keeps us using it year after year.

should i go for the travel system or the light weight stroller?




jasmine w


im 5 months along and im starting my registry, i am having trouble on decided what stroller to get. I want something that's light weight seeing as though i don't have a car and i will be traveling by bus all the time. I also want something that my child can get a real use out of... the particular model i say at babies r us is fine up to 40 pounds. So will i need another stroller after that? The heavier travel systems seem to last longer but will be very inconvenient. Also im 6 feet tall and i hate umbrella strollers and things that will make me strain my back.
i want something that will really accommodate me, and have the best safety for my child. I just don't want to constantly keep buying things i don't really need please help soooo overwhelmed



Answer
You might try the Britax B-Agile or the Baby Jogger City Mini. Both are light weight, fold quickly and easily, and can accommodate an infant car seat for those first six months.

If you're going to get the City Mini, wait til 2012 to get it because it is getting a huge number of improvements in its features. If you want to buy before 2012, then get the B-Agile because it has all those improvements already and is, in my opinion, a superior product.

The reviews of these two strollers include video, measurements, lots of photos, descriptions and testimonials as well as where to find a great deal.

Review on this baby product...?

For how many years is a typical baby travel system safe?




Erika B


We have an almost 4 yr old and are due with our second child in 5 months. We have everything we need, but a friend warned me against using our carseat and stroller again, becuase it may be out of safety regulation being almost 4 yrs old. It's a Chicco KeyFit 30, and had great safety ratings when we purchased it. Any one know typically how many years a travel system is good for?


Answer
Most car seat brands are 6 years from the date of manufacture. The KeyFit 30 is still considered to be a great seat. Flip it over and look for a "do not use after" date stamped into the shell. Once you're sure it's not expired, use the model number off the seat to search for a recall- for any seat. For the KeyFit, Chicco has only had one recall since 2001 and I don't think your seat was produced between the dates for the recall, here it is http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/childseat.cfm#mfg_anchor

Which stroller/ jogger/ travel system would you recommend for a first time mom?




LondonLou


I have purchased only nursery furniture, clothes and a few toys so far, I am now 29 weeks and it is time to start thinking about baby carriers, transport systems and baby gear but the choice out there is daunting. I know that in a recent crash test on baby car seats they found baby trend and graco to be the safest car seats and bases so thatâs were I think I will start, we need a baby car seat! I was also thinking that I would be carrying my baby in one of those baby Bjorn carriers mostly but not sure if the active or the original is best. Also my Mom is flying in from England for 3 months to help so I want some kind of stroller for her to use as I cant see her using the baby Bjorn. My husband says that if we get a jogger that he will use it to jog on the weekends but I am not sure if they are too bulky for everyday use and at the end of the day when my mom goes home I will ultimately be the one getting it in and out the car and using it as he grows. I canât afford to get one of each
I need advice on the most practical yet safe baby gear. I also need to know if I need to by all this stuff before he is born, my husband seems to think that other than the car seat the rest can wait until our son is born then we can try him out in them but I would prefer to have it on hand before hand. Any advice?



Answer
With so many choices out there it can be confusing trying to figure out what stroller or car seat to buy. My suggestion is to look aroundf or what you feel most comfortable with. Here are a few good things to look for in each item to make sure you get what you really want:

Stroller- Look for these things:
does it fold compactly and easily- with one hand? Can you adjust the handles height if multiple people will be using it ( at 5 ft 1 my needs are very different than my husbands)? can you use it as a car seat combo ( like Graco products)? Do you want a lightweight, mid sized or super delux stroller? Look at the way the child gets strapped into the stroller- is it a five point harness? does it turn easily and can you manage it with one hand not just both?

Car Seats- Obviously safety comes first in this category and it'll depend on if you want an infant seat ( generally 5- 20 lbs.or so)- or a convertable seat ( 5-60 or more lbs.) The advantages of an infant seat are that you can easily take it with you inside where as the convertable seat stays in the car at all times.

Things to think about with a car seat: Take a look at how easily you can buckle the five point harness - is it hard to open and clip? Do the straps adjust easily to make them loose or tight? Some you have to pull apart the whole seat -Will it be easy for you to take your child in and out of the seat - think rainy day here! And the big thing is to test it in your own car! Every car seat fits differently in different cars. What fits in my SUV doesn't work in our mid sized car! Many places will allow you to give them your drivers id and test the seat in your car before you purchase... Babies R Us does this for sure!

My personal favorites from experience are:

Graco Snug Ride Infant Car seat- comes in so many patterns now and is easy to get in and out of the car - always has had a good safety rating - we used them for both children and were very happy with them. You can even purchase an extra base for a second car so it's easier!

Britax on the high end for a convertable car seat- we have the Marathon and LOVE IT- In my opinion it was worth every penny! Easy to instal with the lock off clip once you chnage to forward facing ( 1 year and at laest 20 lbs.)- it stays in the car tightly forward facing - and easy adjustment of straps- plus GREAT safety ratings! I found it easy to use as rear facing seat ytoo - although the placement of the adjustment to loosen the straps was harder in that position - but not awful.

We have a second car seat too- the Graco Safe Seat which I am pleased with as well - it's easy to use and also at a lesser cost has the seat belt lock off clip that keeps it snug against the seat- but this car seat would be the second after an infant seat becuase it is only forward facing.

Strollers - We had a graco stroller for my first daughter that lasted years - great durability, so I can't say a bad thing about Graco. I also have a new Peg Perego Pliko and LOVE it - it folds compactly - it's easy to fold and has plenty of room. My mom has the Combi Cosmo Stroller- only about $60 and it is great- we used it on vacation and I was very pleased - it's a very light weight and compact stroller. Folds so small you won't believe it!

My experience with a jogging stroller is to purchase one that has a front wheel that swivels- I had one that did not and it is extremely difficult to turn or use around corners, etc.. I got rid of it quickly! it is not condusive to shopping or small spaceswithout that feature at all!


Carriers- so many choices too- I useda sling carrier for a while- then wentto the baby bjorn- look online though and search baby carriers- you can get many at better prices than in the stores- and there are lots of choices out there - everything from moby wraps and mei teis to hotslings, etc...
Good luck & have fun shopping!

What do I need to get ready for a newborn baby this winter?




Jessica


What are the most important items that an expectant new mother would need to get in order to prepair for a newborn baby boy or girl, and when should I start buying these items?


Answer
I have 3 lil ones age 10 years, 5 years and 9 months. These were my top items ...

1. Boppy (amazing for breast or bottle feeding)

2. Swaddler blankets...they make cotton ones or fleece ones depending on the time of year. I've used both and they are GREAT. Make baby feel all wrapped up and comfortable

3. Lots of soft onsies or pajamas. Newborns tend to be even smaller then you think they will be. I would suggest getting at least 1 or 2 preemie size. All my babies were normal average size ..and they still needed preemie size for the first week or 2.

4. Depending on where you are going to have baby sleeping you will need something. My favorite was a bassinet. I could keep it close to my bed for all those late night feedings. Plus i felt better having them near me where i could hear them breathe. Plus most bassinets are moveable so you can move it to a different room if you want to watch them as they nap.

5. DIAPERS DIAPERS DIAPERS. Whether you choose disposable or cloth you should have LOTS of them. If you are going for disposable i would say get 2 packs of newborn size with the umbilical cord cutout spot. Then a few big packs of size 1 and lots of BABY WIPES!! Can't have to many of these ...

6. A diaper bag for all your needs ...diapers, change of clothes, diaper cream..wipes...bottles if you go that route..a pacifier (if you decide to use one) etc...

7. Blankets...receiving blankets, thicker blankets...muslin swaddler blankets...sheets for crib/bassinet...

8. Cloth diapers for everything...i bought the birdseye cloth diapers and used them as spit up rags..chew on rags...whatever you may need them for they are super absorbant and easy to wash!

9. Some type of lil baby tub w/ sling for newborn babies ...washclothes...and some type of new baby wash

10. MUST HAVE INFANT CAR SEAT. You cannot bring baby home from the hospital without a car seat. You can get one that matches and attached to a stroller (travel system) as well if you would like.

The rest is mainly lil clothes you like...the fun stuff just cause you wanna have it =) toys ...adorable lil socks...etc...HATS ..would be good for a winter baby...baby towels...bottles if you go that route...

I loved having a swing for my babies...and a rocker bouncy seat thing...a safe place to set baby when you can't hold them 24/7

its also good to have a "first aid" kit..thermometer...baby nail clippers...nose syringe...they usually come in a kit with hairbrushes and all that.

As far as when to buy these things...you can start as early as you like. I stocked up on a lot throught the pregnancy when i would see things i liked on sale.

HAVE FUN!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!

Would you recommend the Chicco Cortina Travel System (stroller/car seat)?




Linds


Why or why not? Thank you!


Answer
i bought the keyfit 30 infant seat and the chicco trevi. i wanted a lightweight stroller because we travel a lot and didnt want a big bulky stroller. the cortina is a fullsize stroller that has nice features but the trevi works better for us. i love the keyfit 30. it only fits in shopping carts at one store so i started to sling the baby when i go grocery shopping. it is easier than having a bunch of people oohing and ahhing over my baby while i try to grocery shop anyway. ive had a graco travel system before and i liked it but that was 10 years ago. the chicco is really nice and i loved the extreme pattern. i also have the chicco play yard. what ive learned in baby products is you get what you pay for. the chicco line is top rated.

I've just signed up for my first registry at Target and I have not one single clue where to begin. I've never even held a baby, let alone know what all they need :)

A little help, mommies?
I'm having a baby boy!



Answer
Baby room furniture if you don't have it yet.

Stroller and carseat or travel system

High chair

Booster seat

Breast pump/storage bags/bottles

Boppy

Receiving blankets

Baby swing

Bouncy seat

LOTS of diapers

Baby wipes

Wipe warmer, if you want it

Baby bath tub

Baby essentials - shampoo, lotion

Baby grooming kit with nail clippers and all that stuff

Baby thermometer

Medicine - children's tylenol... better to have, than to have to run out and get it when baby is sick

Desitin for diaper rash

Extra car seat base if you need it

Diaper bag

Baby carrier/sling - the maya wrap ring slings are the best!

changing pad and cover

Bedding set and sheets

Warmer blankets and/or swaddle me wraps

Safety things like for the plug ins when baby starts moving around

Baby gate(s)

Feeding sets

Bibs

Trainer/sippy cups

Spoons

Rocking chair

Diaper genie

Sleep positioner if you plan on using one

Basinnet or pack 'n' play (Check out the Arm's Reach Co-sleeper bassinets, they're wonderful!)

Nightlight

Baby monitor

Activity gym and/or playmat

pacifiers if you plan on using them

*Some good advice I got when I was doing my registry - DON'T register for toys or clothes, that stuff is too cute to pass up, and people are going to buy you more than you need even if you don't put it on your registry.

Good luck!!!!
