Stroller
So the one thing I care about (IDK why either) is a stroller and car seat. We went to try them out a few weeks ago and I just don't feel partical to one. I think I like chicco or Britax only because I have read the most good reviews. Target has chicco for 299 normal price. This weekend, kohls is have a 20% sale. Kohls doesn't sell Chicco, but the Britax is 336. Do you have a preference? The Britax to me seems like a good deal. It is black. Do you think that it gets too hot?
normally 336
20% off-267
3% ebates drops it to 261
Kohls is doing $10 for every $50 you spend, so giving me another $50 in Kohls cash.
Bringing it down to $210.
Thoughts? Is there a different kind I should consider? Should I wait? It isn't like I need it right now. The whole concept if overwhelming. again...Why? IDK!
Re: Stroller
The major selling point for us on the City Select was the fact that we could just buy the adapter and an extra seat to make it a double stroller. It has an incredibly smooth ride and you can face the seat forward or backwards and has several recline options. There are also numerous seat configurations for when it is a double stroller. we purchased the car seat adapter for when we used the infant seat, i loved that option!
Almost 2 years in and the stroller works just as great as it did on day one!
I never really explored any other stroller brands aside from Baby Jogger, they were the highly recommended brand in the book I used for my registry.
For me the biggest thing was weight and ease of folding. I wanted something quick and easy just in case I was felling stressed/rushed by a crying baby. I also wanted something that wouldn't kill my back.
It's so overwhelming because there are so many options out there! If you have a Buy Buy Baby in the area I highly recommend taking a trip. I've always had great help when going there and you can test drive all the strollers..... you can also laugh at the insanely priced strollers too!
The only thing I don't like about it is when I started looking for the next stage car seat. The one we have already is rear facing. The NextFit is convertible, but starts at rear facing and goes to front facing with harness. After that you have to get another seat for front facing without harness/booster stage. Just kinda feel like I'm buying something I already have to some degree. Beyond that, love their products though.
Now that I've used them, I will say I wish I had spent more money and gotten a different stroller. I never even considered needing a double stroller for when we had kid #2. So now we'll have to buy another one. And hopefully we can get one that out infant seat can snap onto. Just something I wish I would have thought about. It sounds like Am did.
Totally understand, the only way we were able to get it was because we happened to stumble upon it being a clearance item.
Just know that no matter what you choose you are going to choose a stroller that is safe.
Also consider what terrain you plan on using it on. Will you always stick to streets and sidewalks? We sometimes go walking in the dirt so it is nice to have a stroller with some sturdy wheels that wont pop.
