My diaper bag came from Amazon. Some non-brand. I’ve seen it on just about every mom at the zoo, so it’s quite popular. I think it was ~$25. My bucket car seat is the Graco snugride snug fit 35 dlx. Using it on my second kid now with no complaints. It will also fit into the attachment on Graco strollers. I think it was around $130. My convertible car seat that they switch into when I get tired of carrying them in the bucket seat is the Graco slim fit 3in1. It was just under $200. My stroller for my first baby was the Graco modes pramette stroller. I think it was around $200 but it was a gift so not sure. Now that we have our second baby we have a Graco ready2grow Lx 2.0. It was on clearance for $170. Bucket car seat will also fit into it like the single stroller.
As you can tell, we are loyal to Graco baby stuff.
I have decided to get the Graco SnugRide Snugfit 35 DLX infant seat. I have not chosen a specific stroller yet, but I plan on getting a 3 wheeled one as I heard they are easier to maneuver.
I decided on the car seat for these reasons: it is compatible with any Graco stroller.
I wanted to get an infant seat since I'm due near winter and want to be able to easily just take the seat in/out vs having to strap baby in in the cold.
I also wanted to lightest seat available, this one is only 9 pounds I believe vs most I looked at were12-15pounds.
It's got a good safety rating and it's not too expensive for my budget.
Oh and I decided on Graco brand because they overall have a good safety rating and quality products, and it was too overwhelming trying to decide on cars eats without picking a brand first
I plan on upgrading to a convertible once baby grows out of the infant seat so giving myself more time to research that
We had the Graco in my 2016 for both kids and it did great. I had the police department locally help me install my first one to make sure I was doing it right.
Yes, I love having carseat compatibility with my stroller! We have the Graco snug ride snug fit DLX with the Graco Fastaction Jogger, we've used this with both kids and I love the ease it folds up, and the "real" tires which helps on all terrain. We also have the Cyber Gazelle with Graco adapter, because we have 2 under 2 and sometimes need the double stroller option. This stroller is so smooth and turns really easily even with one hand but is not so great in loose rocks or dirt.
It really isn't a big deal to pop the carseat in to the stroller at home or get baby ready in the carseat and then take him out to the garage to pop it in when we go for walks. I like it because he then faces me, plus most strollers are not recommended until at least 6 months of age on their own so you either need to use a carseat or one with a bassinet attachment.

Super light, cheap, great for air travel, but outgrown fast.
