SR32 in a Chicco stroller?

[stayinhomewithmy6]

I started a thread yesterday about buying an infant seat, or possibly a travel system, for my brother & his girlfriend. I've decided on the SR32 because I basically don't expect them to RF past the infant seat, so the longest lasting one would be the best choice. I could be totally wrong, though, maybe they will ERF, but just in case, I think the SR32 is the best option.

I talked to my brother (with his girlfriend in the background) last night and they both said that they do more walking than driving. They (obviously) need a car seat, but also need a nice stroller and since the Chicco strollers are nicer than the Graco strollers, I'm wondering if a SR32 would fit in a Chicco stroller, probably the Cortina.

My brother is actually more interested in baby carriers & backpacks. They do a lot of hiking and, even just for walking around town, he thinks he will prefer to use a baby carrier, so maybe I'm putting too much thought into the stroller?

The other option is that I can give them my Mac Traveler to use with the SR32 (it fits, right?) and then get them a different stroller when they are done with that one. The problem with this plan is that I my Mac Traveler and would be sad if anything happened to it.

I just don't know what to do and neither of them know ANYTHING about baby gear, lol. They actually thought it would be a huge pain to take the car seat out of the car to go on the stroller every time, until I explained to them that the car seat has a base and you don't actually have to re-install it every time, lol.

Okay, so that's a big long story for a very simple question. Sorry.

You could always suggets an all terrain stroller with a car seat adapter instead of a regular stroller. This may fit their lifestyle better and they could get a snap and go type for the car.

I would get them the carseat and a snap and go then they can get whatever stroller they want. If you were planning on helping them more then I would get the stroller and carseat and they can buy a snap and go for those quick trips. Since you love your easy traveller I would hesitate lending it out.

I might do that. They really can't afford ANYTHING, so I'll probably be the one buying them a different stroller later.

Louisandheather - We talked about a jogging stroller, and they like the idea of it, but are there any that are reasonable that can be used as a travel system? I know some of the more expensive ones have car seat attachments, but I'd like to stay in the $150 range for a stroller. Also, it would need to be easily fold-able because they live in a small apartment with no garage/storage shed.

Baby trend makes a travel system with a jogging stroller. Graco used to make one but that was a while ago, maybe you could find one on CL or at a consignment store.

I used my SS1 in my Chicco stroller a few (very few) times. I think it's the Cortina I have.... it's big. It will sit in the stroller, but not securely and it won't "click" on like it's supposed to with the Graco strollers.

They say that they will be walking on sidewalks, so I don't think a jogging stroller is necessary. But, then I also think of Graco/Chicco strollers primarily for indoor walking. Am I wrong about that? They are so totally lost in the world of baby equipment that they are trusting my judgement, but I don't really have much experience with various strollers.

Thanks! The more I think about it, the more I'm leaning towards a Quattro Tour travel system, just for the simplicity of it.
