Silly question about babies and car seats..
Megan is 4 months old now. We have the graco quattro travel system. If you have a system like this, do you still take the seat with you into places or just take the carriage or just carry the baby.
Like for doctors appointments...our office is SO SMALL so bringing the carriage in is almost impossible. Carrying the car seat is getting REAL HEAVY..so should I just carry her in? What do you do?

Re: Silly question about babies and car seats..
I have the same system.
We either carry her in the seat into dr's appts, but more than often we just carry her and the diaper bag into tight places like that.
I bought a Peg P3 since that stroller is huge.
DD is 8 months old and still in the infant seat.

Re: Silly question about babies and car seats..
I used to just take the carseat or just carry DS in my arms. I only used the stroller part when we were going to the mall or for a walk.

Same here! I didn't care how heavy it got - when the day comes and you can't use the carrier you'll REALLY miss it, heavy or not!

I used to carry Roman in his car seat everywhere, unless I knew we were going to be somewhere for a long time and they didn't have wagons, like the mall.

Re: Silly question about babies and car seats..
I used the carrier in and out of the car without the stroller esp in the situation you described - it was heavy but much easier than taking the baby in and out. Kevin was out of the infant seat at 5 months. It was great to get rid of the heaviness but you do miss it because they can go into shopping carts easily at that young age (since they don't sit up well yet) and things like that. I only put him in the stroller if I was going somewhere that require walking with him - like a mall or park.

Ditto here. Although it was very heavy, and it used to bang into my leg all the time too.

I always kept DS in the infant seat and just carried it if I wasn't going to be walking around.

Re: Silly question about babies and car seats..
I have a travel system, but got the snap n go too. That way it's easier for quick trips, errands, dr appts, etc. He's 7 months now and I still use it all the time. I hardly use the regular stroller yet.
