tellya Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 bees knees! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenbobblehead Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 bees knees!ok, so look, i know this is going to sound bossy and I will apologize in advance, but I don't like the stroller/baby toting system you picked out. It is not rated very high for safety and other users have rated it low. I think it is the one on your amazon.com wish list. Are you sure that's the one you want? Â Also, since Gogo got Lyric a pony already, should I plan on sending the swimming pool? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tellya Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 You think?Good thing I didn't buy it yesterday for 60% off.Well just which one do you suggest. I was looking for lightweight, with plenty of storage space, and including the infant carseat in a neutral color. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tellya Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I have a shopping problem.I bought a crapload of clearance items this morning just because they were on clearance.That is less STL money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenbobblehead Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Here are a few others you might consider. Some of them come in different colors too.It seems that they all claim to be "one hand" open and close, but based on the reviews it seems that doesn't actually exist.  http://www.amazon.com/Graco-Quattro-Deluxe..._sbs_ba_title_4 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LNJAL...s=baby-products http://www.amazon.com/Peg-Perego-Light-Wei..._sbs_ba_title_3 that one is just a stroller, i will try to find the matching car seat. I like this one because it is YELLOW!   Hm. they only have a few carseats and they don't have good reviews and none in yellow. Must research that more. http://www.amazon.com/Safety-1st-Acella-Tr...4529&sr=1-1 I like this one, but honestly, but $1000 it should come with a car seat.http://www.amazon.com/Stokke-Xplory%C2%AE-...sbs_ba_title_37 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poppydawn Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I'm not a fan of "travel systems", mainly because you'll just wind up having to buy a new car seat when the kid hits 20 pounds. Go with a good-quality stroller and a convertible car seat that can be rear-facing and front-facing. Â Or go with what you like. They all work. Â Gogo did good. Clara Jane had that horse and loved it. She rode it until she was so tall her knees practically touched her chin when she was on it. We had to sneak it out while she was asleep because she didn't want to part with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You know, I wondered about that, because it seems that there are some great strollers out there, and some good car seats, but when you get a travel "system" you lose a little on each.

poppydawn Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 You're a reverse Santa! The kid has too damn much shit! When she's gone, like she is this week, it's a mad race to get rid of toys she never plays with or has outgrown. We can't do it when she's here because she gets hysterical. I was the same way, though. I remember having a meltdown when my mom threw away my broken Rubik's Cube.  Rationality doesn't run in our family's gene set. You know, I wondered about that, because it seems that there are some great strollers out there, and some good car seats, but when you get a travel "system" you lose a little on each. Exactly. You wind up buying more stuff in the long run and it's an expensive pain in the ass. Learned that one the hard way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenbobblehead Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 So, Mommies: does Jenna need an infant car seat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plasticeyeball Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 So, Mommies: does Jenna need an infant car seat?  yes. it's very common to keep them in it more than for just car rides. you leave them sleep in it as long as possible when you get home or when you go visit someone. (sorry, not a mom, but i have seen moms on tv so i know.)

poppydawn Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 That's the one perk of the infant car seat. Or you could do what I always did: just let her sleep in the car after we got to where we were going. Â (No, you shouldn't do that. I didn't. Although I really wanted to because I got really sick of carrying that damn car seat everywhere. That's what a Baby Bjorn is for. Not that you really need a little Sabbath-loving newspaper editor in order to properly raise your child but hey, couldn't hurt.)Â Those infant car seats are good for sitting on the counter at your neighborhood diner (or bar) so the baby can sleep while you drink coffee (or beer) and shoot the shit with the old retired men who hang out at such places in the morning. They offer good advice on breast feeding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It would be much appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
