whats the best brand name for travel system strollers?
im a first time mom and im due in 3 weeks, i need a stroller asap but i want to know which brand would be good graco, safety 1st. chicco, cosco, baby trend, Eddie Bauer.
Since it's not safe to leave a baby in the car seat in a stroller (it keeps them at an incline, and it's better for them in the first few months to be flat whenever possible, or being carried. It reduces their oxygen levels to have them at an incline. Car seats are for traveling in cars basically, not for putting on shopping carts, using as a feeding chair, or in a stroller, and you don't leave them asleep in them.) you need to look for a stroller that lays fully back, flat. Chicco does. I know that the Graco Quattro does as well. The Chicco brand has a very good car seat as well. I don't particularly like the cheaper Graco Snugrides, but I do like the Snugride 32. Course if you're not using the car seat with the stroller you are free to look at any stroller you want really.
We have a baby trend all-terrain stroller that I honestly love. It's not approved for younger than 2 months since it doesn't lay flat, but the 3 wheel design makes it easier to push up and down curbs, over cracks, through sand or loose dirt or grass or snow. I'd never pick another stroller to be honest, maybe one of their more expensive newer models that fold down better, but I love it. The car seat though... they're high rated for safety but when I tried it out in the store it was such a pain to try and hook the chest hook and push that into the lap belt at the same time the way they want you to. So we didn't go with that car seat.
Add: Sorry, but it is the truth even if folks don't like to hear it. Car seats are for traveling in the car. Not for sleeping or leaving your child in for any longer than possible. Until they fix that, it's taking a risk that you don't have to take simply by laying your baby flat in a stroller, carrying them, or putting them in a chest carrier. And if you're not going to put a car seat in the stroller, then there's nothing tying you to one brand over another. Pick the car seat and the stroller that's best, and who cares if they match?
Add: Just for the record, Costco, Eddie Bauer and Safety First are made from the same company, same group. And they have the highest number of recalls recently. It's not a company I trust. Chicco and Baby Trend have had far less recalls, and tested highly for safety.
