What is your favorite infant seat/stroller combo?

firemomof3 · Nov 28, 2012

So, its been 5years since I've had to buy an infant seat so I need your advice. My SIL & her dh are having a baby and I want to get them an infant seat/stroller combo. I want a nicer "all terrain" stroller though. I love the BOB but of course its SO expensive but is there something else like that but for less $?
And as for an infant seat; the baby is expected to be average. What is most important is ease of use with a seatbelt instal, and the seat needs to take up as little space front to back as possible. She drives an older Forester and he drives a new full size chevy pickup with the xtra cab (not the full-size backseat)
Thanks everyone

I loved my chicco and would recommend the click and go stroller.

The Aton is definitely going to be very easy to get a tight install with the seat belt (once you show them how it takes 2 seconds) and is BY FAR the least front to back room. Like 2" less than the Keyfit which everyone raves about as being the best/smallest/easiest/etc. Plus the Aton is much cushier and nicer fabric than the Keyfit.

ETA: it uses the same adapters as the Maxi Cosi Mico

What about a baby trend combo? The infant seat is one of the smaller buckets. I believe it has a lockoff on the base and the stroller isn't too bad either. A friend of mine actually uses it to jog down her very bumpy dirt road regularly. She's been using it for over a year and still loves it

She has this travel system:

I didn't even realize they had a BJCM knockoff:
