Cheapest stroller for Maxi Cosi/Aton

LISmama810 · Oct 7, 2011

What's the cheapest stroller (or snap-n-go-type frame) that will accommodate Maxi Cosi infant seats or the Aton?

I have a feeling there isn't anything that will work for me, but I really have no idea.

the new snap n go is supposed to be compatible...

I have the cybex onyx and I love it! You could look for one on ebay or the Ruby is usually cheaper.

Thanks! A little more than I want to spend, but probably as cheap as it'll get, and certainly worth considering.

The Onyx and Ruby require a separate adaptor, no?

Check Craigslist, SNGs are on ALL THE TIME for half price or less, since they only get used a few months.

Phineasmama said it's a *new* SNG, though. Is there a difference?

The maxi cosi perle will also take a mico or Aton. It is an umbrella type stroller and about $60.

I saw a maxi-cosi on a bt sng three years ago and it seemed to work fine, so, I don't know.

See how this one doesn't have a back part to the part of the frame that supports the car seat? It worked with my Graco I used to have because it snaps on to the front. I'm not sure about the Maxi Cosi but my Aton doesn't have the same kind of snapping system as a Snugride or something similar.

^compared to the "new" one I mentioned previously

they do but when I got my Onyx I realized I didn't really even need it, I just put the car seat right on the stroller seat and it kind of wedges in there. I obviously leave the baby strapped into the seat when I use it like that but it hasn't budged, even when I had to run through the airport

We have the Aton and an older Snap n Go (est. 3-4 years old?) that some friends gave us, and it definitely doesn't work, sadly. (The seat tips all the way back and forth with no way to attach securely.)

Hunting for something like this too...so far the leading contender seems to be one of the Cybex umbrellas since at least it would have some use beyond the Snap 'n' Go timeframe.

A baby store near us that carries the Aton also suggested trying the stroller straps that are designed to connect the Aton to the Cybex strollers on other strollers, so that might be something to explore too---not sure that helps if you have a Maxi Cosi seat or not. It's not an officially endorsed use of them, but the woman there thought it might work on a lot of strollers with similar designs.
