City Mini Adapter or Snap and Go?

Originally I was planning on using the adapter with the city mini and the chicco keyfit carseat but I'm not sure if I'm going to like it. Now I'm leaning towards the snap and go but I have a few questions. Is the adapter better bc the baby is facing you or is it easier to use the snap and go? Would the Chicco carseat even fit into the snap and go? Should I just register for both and see which one I like better? TIA Chat Icon

Re: City Mini Adapter or Snap and Go?

I definitely don't think you need both. When I had my son, I didn't realize for some reason that the City Mini had a carseat adapter, so I got the Snap n Go, which I used for the first few months, then switched to the City Mini and it's all I've used since.
To answer your questions: the baby faces you in both the Snap n Go and the City Mini with adapter.
The Chicco carseat (I have that too) does not fit the Graco Snap n Go- you'd have to get the Baby Trend Snap n Go. They're basically the same exact thing, with a few minor differences.
IMO, the City Mini is REALLY lightweight (not as lightweight as the SNG, obviously, because it's a full stroller instead of a frame). It's super easy to fold and unfold with just one hand. I do it all the time with one hand while holding my son (now 19 months) in the other arm. Now that we're expecting #2, we are getting the City Mini double and carseat adapter.

HTH!

i have the keyfit and the city mini with adaptor and it's the best thing ever. My friend let me borrow her snap and go and I didn't like it at all - as the above poster said, the chicco carseat doesn't fit into the graco snap and go, but you can get velcro straps to secure it.

I found the adaptor and the city mini great; it snaps in and there is another strap to secure it further. it's much more durable and way less flimsy than the snap and go and honestly it's not that much heavier, maybe a little bulkier. My vote is definitely get the adaptor for the city mini

Check out the Britax b agile its literally a city mini clone but better (same price,weight,etc.) . It has a click and go feature, standard so no adapter is necessary if you use a Britax car seat.

*I feel like I'm advertising this stroller but it looks awesome!

I had the Snap n go... I thought it was a LOT easier than the Citi mini (much bigger) with adapter. Price is the same.
