We have the Graco click connect. We got an infant car seat and two bases from my husband’s coworker. I bought the stroller frame that connects to the car seat. We’ve been using this since birth and have discussed other options. Our 11 week old son is probably 15Lbs by now. That plus the weight of the car seat is making it very heavy to move from house to car and car to shopping cart or wherever. Our pediatrician mentioned that at some point we are going to simply prefer to carry him because all of that is too heavy. So husband and I have decided that we will eventually get two all-in-one car seats, one for each of our cars, and just buckle him into the seat in the car. Like we won’t take the seat out of the car with him anymore.
Graco has never failed me for car seats and strollers. there's no way I was going to spend $500+ on the infant seat and stroller when they're only in it for a few months. we got Graco verb click system (infant seat and stroller) and then the extend2fit 3-in-1 convertible car seat. it converts to a booster seat later on. it's also got the highest maximum rear-facing weight I'm pretty sure. rear facing for as long as possible is the safest choice.
Also really liked Graco infant car seats click and go
We got a graco baby click in bucket seat that we used the first six months and then a safety first all in one that she’s still rear facing in at 3.5, but it forward faces and boosters in the future. Doing the same thing with little brother!
We spent $1200 on our wagon which I don’t fully regret. But we don’t use any fancy diaper holder or warmer or cleaner or maker. Having a good reliable method of transportation is important. That said, we just buy the graco click connect set for car seats - not fancy all around. This is our third so for clothes we are going majorly second-hand/leftovers from last baby 😂
Baby Jogger Summit X3 Has the bassinet attachment if you want it (I personally didn't buy because the seat itself reclines almost flat; by the time I even felt like going on walks, baby was 4 months old and big enough to handle the fully reclined seat) Graco Snugride Click Connect will click in if you also purchase the adapters I love my stroller and I highly recommend a jogger for Canadian weather.
