Anybody have any advice about which carseat carrier is the best for traveling? So far I have seen three brands that seem like they would work with my Graco Snugride carseat, the best combo I can think of since we will be needing a stroller as well--the Kolcraft Universal Infant Carseat Carrier, the Combi Flash, and the Graco stroller frame. The Combi seems like the lightest but the Graco obviously will fit the carseat the best, but Im not sure its small enough to travel with. Anybody have any experience with these? Thanks!! Gina

I travelled to South Africa with a SnugRider. That's a 7 hr flight from Boston to London. A 12 hr layover. Then a 12 hr flight from London to Johannesburg, a 5 hour layover and then a 45 minute flight to Durban.

And then back.

The SnugRider was wonderful! It's still in perfect shape, and the airline staff were so pleased not to have to deal with something big and bulky. It was easy to push around, and nice to have while we were away.

I can't compare it to any other brand frame, but I know it was perfect for us!

I used the snugrider as my primary "stroller" while DS was still in his safeseat but then got the Mosaic to match his safeseat. I like compact strollers and I liked the snugrider a lot. It folds pretty flat.

i like the size of the combi seems like something you can just put in the overhead and whip out, and it still works well with a snugride, its my favorite, but then again combis are
