Britax is coming out with a new travel system! That means I can get an infant carrier/stroller combo with the carseat Trina has taught me to love, lol! There are no previews yet of it on their website but i'm definitely going to do some more reading about it now.

The Britax Preview stroller is compatible with their Companion infant carrier car seat.

Looks really nice, but if you already have a stroller, wouldn't it be more cost effective to get one of the universal stroller frames to use with the carrier seat? That's what I would do, but my baby making days are over. LOL!

Kaitlyn had one but she stopped using it when she was around a year old so it sat in the garage for a while. To make it short, it's really not in the greatest condition anymore. We definitely need a new one.

I would have loved a stroller/car seat combination! They didn't come out until I was done having kids.

The stroller needs two arms to push it. So if you pick up the baby then you can't push the stroller.

Looks like a great stroller! I know the umbrella stroller was the one stroller that I used the most. I think with this baby, my next purchase when the time comes will be a nicer umbrella. I'll be curious to see this stroller in person!

BTW-I bought the Graco universal carrier stroller--I love it! Then, I am looking into the Chicco umbrella stroller for about $90. So, I think to get this stroller is actually a pretty good deal.

I don't get the argument for pushing the stroller with one hand. I was just talking to some friends about this. If you pick up the baby, the stroller will be empty and not difficult to push. I never, ever ran into this issue. I think it's so funny!

I understand the two handed pushing, I have had one that when you only push with one you don't have really good control over it. Add a wiggley baby and a toddler to the mix! lol...

uh oh, no cup holders. I couldn't get one without the cup holders!


It looks like a nice stroller tho.

I love the idea of an umbrella. Kaitlyn's first stroller was so heavy and bulky. I hated it. The one hander stuff isn't a problem for me. I've got that down like a pro. And honestly, I think the only time I used her cupholder was at the annual fair, lol.

I saw told the onces with two handles need two hands to steer it. Won't it go cockeye if you push it with one hand with the handles like that?

Maybe that is just with the baby in it?

I never had trouble pushing a stroller with one hand either. Heck, I used to push our double stroller one handed with one kid in the stroller and one on my hip. LOL!

By Kaye on Thursday, October 13, 2005 - 09:03 am:

Feona, I think that only applies to really cheap strollers. A two handled stroller that is made well will still push fine with one hand. I am the type of person that would want to push the stroller before I would buy it though, I like to feel what I am getting for my money!

Strollers are such a personal choice, aren't they? One of my best friends loves big strollers with all the features--cup holders and large baskets. Me on the other hand, I love the smallest stroller out there and I don't care about a cup holder or th4e size of the basket. We bought one of the Combi strollers when DD was 4 months old because we were going to be traveling and we loved it! When her feet got too long, I bought a cheapy umbrella at JCPenney and it's lasted and has been great! Go figure! LOL

BTW-I love testing them out at Babies R Us. Definately buy what works for you--you're the one who has to use it!
