Stroller help
Hi...having never had a baby I am totally confused about which stroller to pick. When we went to baby's r us we liked a graco click and connect 35 or the Britax b agile. Does anyone have any info about these ? Thanks

Stroller help
Def get a snap and go. It's so so lightweight and you can transfer the car seat straight to it. Dd is always falling asleep in the car and we never have to disturb her to transfer her to another stroller. It's a lot lighter than a travel system stroller.
We also have a full size stroller. The britax b ready. It is a much smoother ride.
We also have an uppababy gluxe umbrella stroller. Again super light and will use this more when she is bigger.
Right now all you need is something you can transfer the car seat directly into. Even if it's not a snap and oh you can get an attachment for a stroller (although nothing will be as lightweight as a snap and go)

I hated Snap and Gos, what's the point of having a nice stroller if you're not going to use it. We have a City Select, so the toddler seat is removed and our Britax infant seat clicks right in. My friends have a Graco Modes and they like it a lot.

Re: Stroller help
Looking back I would have started with just the snap and go. Then when it was time for a new stroller I would have shopped based on our needs and life style. I love my city mini but it's not necessarily the best for us. It's wheels are still a bit wide for shopping at the mall. I would have looked for something more narrow but not an umbrella stroller.

Stroller help
We registered for a City Mini GT and the car seat adapter. I've heard great things about this stroller and I love that I can fold it up with one hand!

I did the same thing based on great reviews. The b-agile can also be used with some car seats (Britiax, graco, Chico).

Re: Stroller help
What's the difference between the city mini and britax agile? They look so similar.

Not really sure b/c I only heard about the City Mini but here's a video comparing the 2!

 I never used my snap n go, so I sold it.

I agree with this. Why buy something you will only use for a few months when you are buying a stroller. You will buy enough so for me an extra stroller that will get minimal use is a waste.

They look similar but the city mini is easier to steer. DH and I walked with the strollers in buy buy baby and we both preferred the city mini gt to the b-agile. I also liked some
of the design features of the city mini gt better- adjustable handle, ventilation for baby, etc.

Re: Stroller help
I'm a amom of an 11 month old. We have the b-agile and loved it as a system with the b-safe seat. Easy to maneuver and lightweight. Easy to open/close, a dream!
However, now that dd is outgrowing the carrier seat and is ready for a bigger car seat, we are having issues...
1) she still likes to face us; thedb-agile only faces away
2) there's nota lot of support in the stroller itself. Dd is petite and she likes to "lean" on something. There are no side supports and inserts aren't enough.
Errands and family trips were becoming a nightmare with her screaming. We checked out the graco modes and peg perego book plus (both have reversible facing seats) and went with the peg perego but liked both.
Just some things to consider!

For our full size stroller we have the britax bready and love love it! Dd is still so young so she leans on the side. Seat can go fwd or rear facing. Basket is huge!
