I need a stroller frame that holds a infant carseat. I went on the walmart website and the only brand they have is Graco. Can these two products be compatible or will it be unsafe to try to attatch the Evenflo carseat onto it?
Evenflo – Discovery 5 Infant Car Seat, Jungle Puzzle
Graco – SnugRider Infant Car Seat Carrier Stroller Frame

Will a Graco infant car seat snap into a Combi double stroller or do I have to buy a Combi car seat as well?

Hello – We are looking for help in finding a safe and suitable convertible car seat that will fit in our 2006 Subaru Legacy wagon.

Our requirements:
- Convertible car seat
- RF from now – as long as possible (35/40lb)
- shallow enough to fit behind tall hubby. (6’4")
- note that we are in Canada, so some car seats aren’t available to us

We had babe’s infant car seat in the middle and that worked fine. We now have a Britax Marathon (not for long… see below) in the window seat because it won’t secure properly in the middle.

We ended up trying a Sunshine Kids Radian and a Britax Marathon at the store. The Radian was clearly a no-go; it simply would not fit rear-facing with my husband (6’4") in the seat in front of it (even in the passenger seat). Shame, because I can see that it would be *brilliant* FF, but that’s about 15 months away…

We bought the Britax Marathon from Toys r Us and have been test-driving it for almost a week. Hubby can sit in front of it in the passenger seat, but barely, and can’t drive in front of it.

Beyond this inconvenience, it’s such a pain to load our daughter into it because it’s so bulky and because of the angle of the Subaru Legacy wagon rear window frame. It means I have to cup her head and turn her sideways to slip her into the car around the obstacles! It’s ridiculous. We tried to convince ourselves it’s doable, but considering she’s only 8 months, 28" long and 14lbs… when she starts to get bigger this just isn’t practical.

So – back to the seemingly endless job of car seat shopping!

Any experience or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

We had our daughter in a Graco SafeSeat Infant Car Seat. My husband dropped the car seat with our daughter in it. Thank goodness our daughter was not hurt, she didn’t even wake up. The car seat cracked, so we are looking for a new car seat. Is she to small to move to a convertible toddler seat? She is 6 months old and 18lb, and probably around 27in long.
If so can you recommend a good toddler car seat?

My twin boys are about 20 lbs and I need to buy front facing car seat for them . I am confused which one to buy. At present they are in infant car seat. I want to buy a car seat which is front facing and then can be converted into booster car seat.

We are expecting baby in March and there is no way I can fit 3 car seats in my mazda 6. I was able to do 2 boosters and an infant seat but it was very very tight and I didnt feel good about the security. We will need to fit a newborn, 18month old and a 5 year old in the car. So a booster seat, toddler front facing seat and a infant car seat. Is there a car that will fit these in one row comfortably or do we need to get something with a third row? And if so what would be a good choice. I do not want a minivan or anything big like that.

Is it true that with an infant car seat, the bar must be pushed back (not in the upright position) when driving? My friends husband just installed my Babys car seat for me –having her in about 9 daysss– and he told me that when the Baby is in the car, the bar needs to be pushed back level with the back of the car seat. I had no idea! He installed the car seat for me because he’s a firefighter, and could install it properly. Not that my boyfriend or I couldn’t have done it, but I feel a bit safer knowing that he did it ) Did you have your car seat installed by the fire / police department?
Thanks girls. I work at a bank (in the drive thru most of the time) and see so many car seats with the handles still up, as if they were just snapped in the car seat base and left. I also see wayy to many young children not in seat belts, on someones lap in the front seat.. aah it drives me nuts! I just wanna make sure I do what’s right + safest. Thanks again!
I agree beary. That is why I decided to get my friends hubby to install it for me! He knows what he is doing & is certified through the fire department!

My boyfriend thinks Im silly for having it installed by my friends hubby. He thinks that we will be taking it in and out of the car because of passengers. I rarely ever have any passengers besides him or a friend or two & there is still room. If they don’t like it, they can drive seperate.. right?

I need a car seat for a six month girl who is out growing her infant car seat. I need a seat that is safe and can fit rear facing in the back a PT Cruiser. I’m looking at the Alpha Omega Elite and the Evenflo Triumph Advance. Britax or Sunshine is not an option because of the price so please don’t suggest it or make me feel guilty for not buying it. Does any one know of features I need to look for or have a suggestion for or against any seats out there? I’m totally confused. Thanks in advance for you help!
I’ve read that the Alpha doesn’t recline in rear facing mode with out taking up a lot of space and the Evenflo has an odd buckle shape that digs into babies legs. Are these things true?

This will be my first infant car seat purchase and I’m definitely in need of some advice. There are so many choices and things to consider. So, I’ll rely on you expert moms and dads out there! I’ve been reading consumer reports and basically have narrowed it down to the Britax Chaperone, Graco Snugride, and Safety 1st 35 Air. But, what do you think? I need something that is 1) SAFE!, 2) fairly lightweight so that I can carry it (I don’t have my mom arms yet!), and 3) not going to make my baby sweat! Also, I have an ’03 Honda Accord. So, it can’t be HUGE. I think my car seat will end up behind the passenger seat as my seats are gigantic. Anyway, any help/suggestions would be great!!! Thank you!!!!!
** My seats are NOT gigantic. Sorry for the typo!

I will be carrying my 1 month old on an international flight, he will not have his own seat. Am I allowed to bring an infant car seat/carrier?

Anyone who has been in this situation, would you rather not have the car seat with you? Are you allowed to bring the seat on the plane?

Should I buy a combo travel system or separate? I saw some at babies r us but the material of those travel system isn’t soft. I also like an infant car seat which is very nice and soft but it doesn’t come with the stroller. It makes me confused. Could you give some advices? And what kind and brand of them did you buy for your babies. Thanks for your help!

I have a little girl that will be 22 Months when her brother is born in June. I have been looking at buying a double stroller, and an infant car seat for the boy. I have looked at all kinds/Prices and can’t decide.
Here is where i’m at so far:
**Baby trend sit and stand: Con:flimsy/ not much storage/ not much room Pro:cheap/ fits most car seat
**Graco Duo Glider: C: not much room/ ugly color/ front doesn’t recline Pro: fairly cheap/ lots of storage
**Baby Jogger city walk: C: much more expensive/ not sure which car seats will fit on it, P: lots of room, very versatile for configurations
**Phil and Teds Vibe: C very expensive/ not sure i like the back seat low to the ground/ not much storage/ hard to fold when i tried in the store/not sure which car seat fits. P: looks great/maneuverable

As far as car seats go i need one that will work with what ever stroller i get: i like the Britax infant but im not sure which stroller it would work with, Graco Snug ride has good ratings and is cheaper, and the baby trend is what my daughter had and worked well.

So please let me know if you have had good/or bad experiences with any of these and if im missing any that i should look at. Bottom line: what double stroller should i get and what car seat (that works with it) should i get?

Than you!

I have a toddler and a baby on the way. I am looking for either a sit & stand or the side by side stroller that would be compatible with my Evenflo Aura infant car seat. I have searched many websites and no luck. My infant car seat will be three years old.

Personal opinions please!

Britax?

Graco?

Cosco?

I know britax is supposely the best brand. It costs a pretty penny though. I am on a tight budget too. I am willing to buy one though, if it’s really the safest & most comfortable car seat on the market.

I’d like to know if any of you have any insight about the graco & cosco brands.

Thanks
