I'm going to continue on the stroller trend and rave about the snap n' go strollers. When I registered I thought it was silly and a waste so did not give it another thought. Not long after I started toting the 10 pound car seat plus whatever the baby weighed that week, I soon thought there had to be an easier way. Her car seat did not fit well atop of most shopping cards, and if I had to do an errand where there were no carts or a long walk to the door, it was a struggle as I would hobble through the parking lot. If I had to carry something WITH the car seat, it was nearly impossible. I spotted one when I drove past a 2nd hand store and got it for half price. YES!! My daughter may only be in her car seat for less than a year, but that's a lot of awkward toting around. It's also come in handy when we go out to eat or somewhere we don't want a stroller to stick out like a sore thumb. I don't use it for my standard walk because it's not as smooth as the jogging stroller or her regular one. However, we've brought it to a wedding, hibachi dinner, a rehearsal dinner, family reunion, clothes shopping, grocery stores, etc. When she gets tired in our arms, we can rock her in the car seat for a cat nap. It's small, compact, and light weight to toss in the back of a trunk without taking up all the space. I definitely recommend it for a new mom. After using it, you will have NO regrets. I haven't yet. Even my husband admitted it's easier than carrying the seat all around and very convenient to toss in the trunk when visiting friends for dinner, making the purchase that much more worth the while.
