What kind of Stroller do you have?

i haven't registered yet... probably in another month... but i was just browsing at the strollers on the BRU website, and saw they had the "Travel Systems"

question is... are they good strollers? or do you just have a regular one?

im not too familiar with all the different types..

once again.. thanks so much!!!
i am beginning to feel that im getting annoying Chat Icon

We got he Graco Travel System, and I loved it! Super easy to fold, and way convenient to just snap the car seat from the car to the stroller and vice versa.

dumb question... but if you use that as a car seat... im guessing it comes with the base for the car??

it sounds so convenient! Chat Icon

Re: What kind of Stroller do you have?

I opted against the travel system and registered for a separate car seat (Britax) and stroller (Bumbleride Flyer).

I wanted a stroller that gave me the option to flip the handles so that the baby can face me/DH or the "world"...and I love that the stroller not only moves front and reverse but side to side (like Ikea carts, for those familiar). It's light and opens & folds in a snap.

Yes, you use the car seat part. Some come with a base and some are sold seperately. I got the Eddie Bauer one. It is neutral and it is made by Graco.

Yes it comes with one base, and you can buy an extra base if you want one in both cars.

We have a bugaboo. I also have the car seat adapter for the bugaboo base.



for the bugaboo, can you have any carseat? does the car seat adaptor work for a peg perego carseat? also did you get the sun shade with it?

Re: What kind of Stroller do you have?

I choose graco I liked the snugride but noticed that it only hold up to 20 lbs and thought that the baby would be out of it too quickly so then I saw the safeseat which holds up to 35 lbs and I loved the pattern both snugride and safeseat had great reviews and are known for safety

Yes, just make sure that when you purchase the car seat adapter, that you buy the one for a peg perrego seat.
I didn't get the sun shade. The shade on the bugaboo (I have the chameleon) is big enough.

What shade do you speak of? lol The shade on the bassinet part comes off and you then can attach it to the other seat. Like this

When we went to pick up ours they said we can get the adapter which would work for the Peg Perego infant seat.

Re: What kind of Stroller do you have?

I highly recommend you read the stroller section of the baby bargains book.... they rate the quality of dozens of strollers and go through the features, explaining which are important for which lifestyles....

I chose the bumbleride indie... I decided we needed an all terrain stroller for our bumpy sidewalks in town Chat Icon

I didn;t know that the shade comes off the bassinett! When I look at pics of the stroller there is never a shade on it so I thought it was a seperate thing to purchase. I thought that was weird that it didn't have a shade!

Re: What kind of Stroller do you have?

we decided to get the snap and go and a regular car seat. The snap & go is good for babies up to 1yr old. So we then registered for a regular lightweight stroller for 1yr+.

The only reason I didnt get the travel system is a lot of people I know said it was heavy and bulky. JMO
