Mommies with the Baby City Mini-question

My grandmother got us the Baby City Mini and I really want to use it right away. So my question is concerning the snap and go adapter attachment. Does anyone have this, and if so, is it good? I would really rather not get a snap and go and just use the City Mini because I love it. We got the Graco Snugride as her infant seat to go with it. TIA!

Re: Mommies with the Baby City Mini-question

I have the double baby jogger Summit 360 (basically the same thing) and they didnt have the attachment for the carseat available when I got it...and even though it said to wait til your DC is 6 mo old to use, I had my toddler and nb and it was the only way I was getting around....so i used the "bundle me" in the stroller itself for my DS as early as 2 months (?!?! forget exactly when we started using it..but def early on) and we never had any problems... and my dh and I were happy we saved a lot of money not getting all the attachments needed for the carseat attachment!

Re: Mommies with the Baby City Mini-question

We were going to get the infant seat adapter for the city mini but realized the baby trend snap n go was the same price so we went with that.

I'm glad we got the snap n go... it's super light (yea the city mini is too but no where near as light as the snap n go). We used it all the time the first 2-3 months and still use it once in a while if we go somewhere and DD is sleeping in the car seat.

So basically we saved a few months of wear and tear on the city mini.

You will LOVE the city mini!

I had the snugride carseat adapter for the citi mini which was fine but I guess it depends how much room you have in your car. I liked the snap and go for running errands etc b/c it fits better in my car but thats probably the only reason, well that and its lighter to push around then the citi mini w/ carseat...

Thanks ladies!!! I was more concerned that the attachment would not be sturdy!

Re: Mommies with the Baby City Mini-question

I don't have the snugride, I have the Graco SafeSeat and did buy the adapter for the City Mini. I actually found it to be annoying to snap it in, strap it in, etc... took longer then just popping the car seat in the snap and go. I also felt that the car seat wasn't as secure in it as it is in the snap and go.

ETA: DD is 10.5 months old and I STILL use the snap and go!

Re: Mommies with the Baby City Mini-question

I have the City Mini and a Grace Snugride car seat.

I got the car seat adapter instead of a snap and go.

I live in an apt in Manhattan and wanted to minimize baby stuff. The adapter is sturdy and I am not worried that the car seat might dislodge. If you are looking to save on space, then it is worth it.

ETA: Just read the post above. I don't remove the adapter from the stroller, so all I do is snap the car seat in and go. I don't find the adapter annoying at all. And it doesn't affect the way the stroller folds either.
