car seat/stroller help needed

I get a free car seat from my job (one for each child) these are the 4 choices that i get:

Graco Snugride-infant
Graco-infant
Graco comfortsport convertible
Graco travel system (need to pay $100 OOP, and is single stroller, not sure if they have a twin choice)

I wanted to get the double snap and go and the snugrides are compatible but they when they grow out of the car seats i will need new car seats and a new stroller.
I'm not sure what i should do, what stroller/car seat do you use once they grow out of the infant car seats? Where will I store all this if i register for it?
I still have some time before I have to order so any advice would be appreciated...TIA!

I would get one of the infant ones for now. Sooooo much easier with the twins. You can pop them in and out easy and use the double snap and go as a stroller.
Yes, you'll need new car seats and a stroller for when they get bigger but I think thats what most people do.
When they are little the infant car seats are just sooo convenient to pop in and out of the car and into the snap and go.

Re: car seat/stroller help needed

we got the graco snugrides and the double snap and go. its going to be easier to just be able to pop the car seat in and out without disturbing them. We didnt even buy another stroller or the convertible seats yet b/c they won;t be needed for a while. you can get a good 9 months maybe more with the infant seat depending on how fast your baby grows, once they get bigger we'll get them.

You're going to need both infant seat and convertible eventually, so I would get whichever is more expensive for free from the company, and buy the less expensive one myself. Chat Icon
