If dd was a spring/summer baby I would have gotten a Combi Corroco. I only got the bucket so I could walk out the door with her bundled up until we got where we were headed. I will take her out of the bucket as soon as March/April rolls around and put her in a convertible (actually, she'll move to ds's TFP and he will get a RN XTSL). Once she's in a convertible, I'll just wear her.
This is right along my lines of thinking...
I have a friend who's NB is in a keyfit. IF she's done w/ it at 4 months (doubtful) I'll borrow it and then get a coccoro. But if not, I'm tempted just to go w/ a coccoro from the get-go.
I found it to be really helpful when #4 was born- now I have to drive the big girls to elem. school, get everyone out, walk them in, etc. Then get back in the truck, drive DS to preschool, get him and baby out, go in, etc... Even with a baby that goes back to sleep fairly easily, there have been times when I was so so so glad to be able to just take the bucket out of the truck, stick it on the Snap N Go and then put her back in. Of course, it's been cold, too, and that's made a HUGE difference. I might do things very differently w/a summer baby and no school.
I didn't find it any harder to keep an infant warm without a bucket than with:shrug-shoulders:
I wore my baby in a sling under my coat, got to the car, loosened the sling a bit, slid baby into seat butt first as I pulled the sling down. Buckle quickly and plop my coat onto baby as a nice pre-warmed blanket. Reverse the order for getting baby out.
That wouldn't work here at all. We get -20 to -40 plus windchill through most of the winter I could probably keep the baby warm enough but for me to take my coat off... brrrr....
If we had milder temps then I'd def give it a go .... I just can't imagine taking a newborn out into our weather.
