Hello all!
I have a very tall 16 mos old (32"+, 23lbs) who's currently using a toddler carseat given to us by the state (thru state insurance - hey, it's free ).
I don't own a car (by choice), and rarely am in one, but with MN winter approaching, we will be getting to our baby class via taxicab weekly through spring. Meaning: we have to take our carseat with us everywhere we go. (We normally ride our bike with Burley trailer, and for long trips or with snow, we ride the bus, which is another safety issue I'll ask in a later post.)
It's quite a jaunt from where we get off to our class inside the bldg, and with all our stuff, I need the stroller with too. (and of course there are times i want to take a cab downtown and stroll our stuff around through the skyways, or whatever else might come up)
Pretty soon, I will have to wear him in a wrap (or sling) that I have to put on in the cold after we get out of the cab, and somehow get the huge toddler seat to sit on our Combi stroller, which works with the infant carseat, with my huge diaper backpack on my back.
While it's still decent weather out, he can walk, but this won't work once it's snowing and icy out. Plus it's hard to bend sideways to hold his hand with a 35lb backpack on (trust me, all essentials, we have food allergies, etc.).
Does ANYONE know of a TODDLER CARSEAT that is DESIGNED to SNAP into a sturdy STROLLER like they offer for infants??? :shrug-shoulders: I REALLY NEED THIS!!!
Peace, and thanks for whatever thoughts you might have on this issue!

p.s. here's a pic of me wearing him last year with the backpack on - obviously, he's a lot bigger this year! -
