Help With Baby Stroller?

7-Up

I need a little help with choosing a new baby stroller for my first born in June. I've looked around and their are so many options so I wanted to get advice from mothers who are really happy with their stroller.

Here's what I'm looking for- A all-in-one car seat/stroller, I really tend to gravitate towards the more modern looking ones (jogging strollers). My baby is going to be a girl, however Im not looking for a pink stroller or anything really girly, but a pattern with cars and trucks on it won't work either. I would really like to stay in the $200.00 or under range.

Any Advice! Thanks Everyone!

Answer
well you can't get an all in one with a jogging stroller...the Graco Travel Systems are really nice and have tons of patterns to choose from.

Have you used the evenflo journey elite pink lemonade travel system?

I just got the carseat installed in my car and it seems as though the back sits too high for a newborn baby's head. Have you used this in your vehicle? I am just a worried mother.

Answer
Evenflo infant seats can really be hard to install and I usually do not recommend them anyway. They are always being recalled and are not made too well imo. A couple of years ago they did a crash test on an Evenflo Discovery infant seat and on impact the seat flew off of the base and went through the rear window. They have also had recalls on the handles because they break with the baby's in them and there have been several injuries because of that.
If you are able to I would recommend going to Baby's R Us and try some of the car seats out in your car before you buy one. I bought a Graco Snugride 35 for my baby and it installed great into my car. Plus you can leave the handle up in the car which the Evenflo car seats you cannot do. By leaving the handle up in your car you can save a lot of space.
If you do decide to keep the Evenflo infant seat please take it to a car seat tech and have them fit it for you in your car.

Typical cost of baby items?

jenn_LT

I'm writing a paper on newborns and cost. I've been researching, but I'm having some time figuring out figures for common large baby items. Such as crib, changing table, car seat, stroller, diaper bag, etc. I know the costs vary alot depending on location and quality, but what is a general price range per item? Not the cheapest of the cheap, but not gold plated either. What do you think is the average spent total?

Thanks!

Answer
Crib set including crib, changing table, and dresser $300-$400
Carseat $100 but can go as high as $200+ mine was $125
Stroller $100-$150
Travel system (stroller and carseat combined) $200-$250
Baby bedding $250 (I want to know where you buy beding for $50)
Matress $75-$100
A good unexpensive diaperbag $50
box of 92 count diapers $18
22oz can of formula that last maybe 5 days $25
big box of wipes of 1000 count $10

should I have a baby shower or not?

mommy lita

I am due in February 22, 2009 so the baby shower would have to be soon. She told me to pick either the baby shower or for her to use the money she has for the baby shower to buy things I need for the baby like the traveling system and the bassinet I want. What would you pick?

Answer
I would pick getting the things I want, just because at baby showers (usually) people dont go all out to get a $100-300 bassinet or traveling system. People usually stock you up on diapers, clothes, bottles, bibs, etc. However, you do get a lot more things at baby showers, and its just a fun time to bask in the attention you get while youre pregnant. Free food too! If youd really like to have the shower, I suggest you hint on the invitations that youd appriciate gift cards or money towards the items of your choice(or just put down a registry).
