We got a Eddie Baurer Infant Carrier/stroller combo with DD, and we will be using it again. It's in prefect condition still.

We have a graco snugride. It the clara pattern and I bought it second hand. I have been looking around for a good deal on a convertable seat. i think that I will spend more money on that one b/c she will be in it a longer. I have the snap n go stroller to go with the infant seat.

Chicco KeyFit 30 in Romantic
We just did a little research, talked to friends, and then the people at the baby store told us this was a great seat for the price.
(Our stroller only has adapters for Peg Perego, Chicco, and Graco seats so it had to be out of those 3 companies)

I haven't gotten one yet but I'm planning on getting a Graco Snugride...now I just can't decide whether to get the 22-pounder, the 32-pounder, or the 35-pounder. Any suggestions?

I go Britax all the way...the family I nannied for in Europe used them and I would never use anything else. I think they are the best on the market. I have the infant snap in carrier type good until 22 lbs, I think and a larger convertible that my son is now using and it is good to 65 lbs.

I was told the Britax convertible ones were one of the best on the market, but not their infant seats. (Based on crash test studies, etc.) Maybe it's different in Europe though.
However, I'll be getting a Britax convertible once Sophie outgrows her infant seat!

I will be using Leah's Chicco infant seat for one of the boys and borrowing a neighbors Chicco for the other. I did alot of research when getting Leah's and got alot of good feedback and after using it I really liked it and she was always comfortable in it. I also have 2 Britax Blvd's that she uses now and I will use one for the twins when they are old enough and will purchase a Radian for the other. Only switching brands because it is a much slimmer covt carseat.

Walmart.com: Baby Trend - Flex Loc Infant Car Seat, Glacier: Car Seats
I got a baby trend flex loc because it was one of the safest car seats in my price range. Luckily I am a babywearer, because that thing is super heavy. It also only fit my baby till he was 6 months old. I am seriously thinking about selling it to get one that will fit this baby longer. I haven't decided yet.

I still have our Peg Perego infant seat from DD. We will be using that one again. Once this LO outgrows that one, we have 2 Eddie Bauer Convertible Car Seats. We just switched DD to a new booster since finding out that the convertible seat that we have weren't the best when converted into boosters.

We are skipping the infant seat with this baby since I never brought it out of the car with Eleanor (I use a sling when we are out so my hands are free). I got the First Years Premiere True Fit Signature Series Convertible Car Seat The older kids all have Britax forward facing seats and I love them.

I was originally going to use the Chicco Keyfit, but it didn't install well in our car  . So, now we're going with the Gracco Snugride 35, and getting the City Mini stroller. I freaking love the stroller, it's only 17 lbs and folds up SO nice.

We went with the Graco 32 snugride. I decided to go with the bigger snugride because I don't mind the extra carrying weight (I lift a lot anyway working out wise) plus the last ultrasound showed the baby might be a little big! I found the carseat brand new and still in the box at a Target clearance rack. It was marked down to $90 (from $134). It apparently was an online purchase that was returned to the store. Score!
We are getting the basic frame (I think the snap n go) for the car seat to wheel the little one around.

We are using our other daughter's old Graco Snugride. We only used it about 5 months and then switched her to a Britax. We will probably do the same with this one. Since DD is now in a booster we have both that arent being used. I figure this also saves up some money for more new baby stuff!!!

We have the Safety 1st travel system, so we will be using the infant carrier from that. I got it at my shower for dd & she loved it.  As far as a stroller, last summer i got a Graco double stroller for $20 at a garage sale. I have used it quite a bit w/dd and the back seat in it lays down for infants, so no need to snap the car seat into it...hopefully this one will be like dd & be pretty easy going.  If not, i am ordering a sling off of etsy, so hopefully will have it covered. Lol
