Research?
Please recommend a light weight infant car seat that could be removed from the car and click right into the stroller. I love walking and would want a 3 wheel stroller.

Re: Research?
My SIL has the Graco Aire3 and loves it. I've used hers a bunch of times and loved it so much that I plan to register for the same one. It's very lightweight and it's 3 wheels. It has the 1-hand fold, with a nice size basket underneath for storage, and the infant carrier snaps easily in and out of the stroller system. It moves SO smoothe...literally you can turn it with one finger if you wanted to.

I'm intrigued. Do you know how the quality feels in comparison to the city mini?

Re: Research?
Anything will snap into a city mini if you get the adapter. I, personally, preferred the snap n go, though. And I did a lot of walking with it!

I don't...I haven't tried the City Mini yet. They're both very similar in design and features, which is why I like both of them (also the Graco Modes Lite is very similar). I think what appeals to me about the Graco is that it's the full system with the carseat - and the Graco SnugRide carseats are very lightweight, making it easy to lift especially if you end up with a csection. I had a Graco stroller system with DS and it was very nice and the quality was excellent - I actually only got rid of it because I decided after 7 years I wanted something "new" since the older models were much heavier. But it was still in perfect condition. You've peaked my interest though and I think I'll have to stop by a BRU and try out the city mini as well.

So funny. I had a Baby Jogger jogging stroller the first time around. I only recently stopped using it and LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it. I am only getting a new one because everyone is telling me I "should get something new" and would like something lighter. I was only considering the City Mini because of that experience but you peaked my interest because it is a full system and I don't need adapters and all kinds of other attachments and additions. I was already planning on a Graco carseat based on my past experience, but, the price difference between Graco and City Mini is significant enough that it has me wondering if it is too good to be true and possibly lesser quality. Will need to test drive.

Re: Research?
I love my britax b-agile and b-safe. I love that the car seat pops right in, not an awkward bar adaptor like you'd have to get to make some strollers compatible with the seats. The b-safe may be a little heavier than the graco seat, but I just have, from experience, a personal preference towards britax over graco in general. We are using the same b-agile as we did for dd1 three years ago - it stood up well! And we got a new seat.
