SnugRider Elite Stroller

We didn’t do one with a bassinet. I purchased the Graco snugride snugfit elite 35 car seat and my neighbor gave me the stroller that the car seat clicks into. It’s just a frame. I think it’s an older model as the ones on Graco website are a bit nicer with cup holders lol. But it’s very similar to the snug rider elite stroller on their site currently. Then we were gifted the Graco Outpace LX for when she outgrows the car seat.

I have an inline stroller in addition to a little stroller frame for my infant car seat (it is the Graco SnugRider stroller). I am more likely to just pop my infant car seat in the smaller stroller frame and hold my toddler on my hip when going in and out of places for errands because the inline stroller is such a pain to me. It’s huge and I feel like I’m driving a literal school bus. My two are 15 months apart for reference.

ftm and i got the graco snugrider elite. i can just click the carseat into it without having to swap baby around. it makes outings a lot easier and i don't have to pack his heavy seat around on my arm

I did the infant seat (graco snugride) into the stroller frame for the 1st year. I love how light and compact it was. Used it for all 3 kids. Then bought a graco stroller that reclined when my child got bigger. 2 strollers but both simple and compact

I've used a few strollers. It really depends on your individual lifestyle! Don't get sucked into buying the most expensive stroller if you wouldn't use it. For us: * Car seat click in stroller (Graco) for when she was an infant. Our main stroller for her first 8 months. So easy to fit in my trunk, lightweight, had a cup holder. I used it for bringing her to Costco, restaurants, quick meetups at the library baby music class with friends. * Pram style high end stroller (Bugaboo) Never used, because my neighborhood isn't super walkable. If I lived in Europe I would probably get more use out of it. She also hated being set down and how open the pram was, so I held her much more often. I ended up reselling it for as much as I got it for! * Travel everyday stroller (Iglesina). Love this! Our main stroller once she turned 8 months. Super compact and fits in an overhead airport bin, easy fold, large storage under the chair. * Jogging stroller (Bob). I run 3ish times a week. The large wheels on this make it nice for bumpy sidewalks and trail walking too. It's big though, so might be hard to fit in the truck of a small car.

I was handed down the graco snug something and its been good to us. Clicks easily, folds easily. Stroller drives fine, carseat just sits there. I have to say, my biggest complaint is the compartment that looks like it could fit my keys does not fit my phone. But is that even a thing to be concerned with? Idk.

Travel system is incredible for first 6-8 months, but quickly loses utility once they weigh a fair bit. Carrying them inside the seat prebuckled becomes heavy enough (even before the seat weight limit) that it doesn't feel worth it anymore. The other thing is .. get one that allows the stroller to ALSO be used without the bucket seat. That way you can just .. leave the car seat in the car if you don't feel like transferring it anymore, until they outgrow it. We have graco snugride, and the stroll can be used with the car seat or it has its own seat and buckle built in. Zero complaints about stroller or seat quality, even for longer journeys. We still use the stroller by itself for 2.5 year old, and the car seat part of the system is in the closet waiting for 2nd kid to pop out.
