personally we love the britax carseats, we have had the roundabout marathon regent and now frontier. i have two boys, 5 and 2, who were big boys while babies. i loved the easy install with LATCH and how extremely sturdy they were once installed properly. we had evenflo and graco on different occasions for my husbands truck for the occasional use, but ended up buying britax seats to replace them. so we have four different britax seats now. i would recommend the marathon for now for your little one, it is rated up to 65 pounds and is very comfortable for sleeping if they fall asleep, next would be the frontier which i love the improvements they have made on the booster/convertible regent, it is rated up to 100 pounds with lap shoulder belt and you can use the 5 pt harness up to 85 pounds, highest rating out there!! must be able to check out the seats if you have access to them to see if what will fit in your car and how your child fits into the seat as well. once you decide, REGISTER the seat, regardless of which brand you choose so you can be notified of any recalls, good luck choosing, there are a lot out there!

My 2.5 year old sits very comfortably with the car seat in place (she is petite though). She especially loves bring able to see (and poke...) the baby as they are facing each other. This has not been an issue at allfor us.

I would go to a baby store that has an assembled stroller in stock and let the clerk know you want to buy a double, but you have to make sure it will fit in your trunk first. Both the local Buy Buy Baby and Babies R Us, let me try a couple of strollers in the trunk of my Fit and my sister's PT.

I bought this stroller about 2 months ago and my son will be 2..so I am not really sure what car seat would be best comparable. I have Graco so that's what I will be using when second baby comes along;) good luck! This is an awesome stroller though. My husband and I both love it!!

I got this seat for my son at 1 years old. He was 23 lbs and 32" your child is at min weight but he may not be ready to sit in this seat. In my opinion he's very young. Plus I think he still needs to face the back of the car. If you like this kind of seat I would get one with the recliner feature. So he sits a bit craddled. I would do a bit more research.

Hey! I have this carseat cover its amazing! it looks great my sons carseat was a graco but no matter te type I think it could fit any infant seat. I may even try it on her toddler seat when we switch. It is big but the excess fabric I just pull down the outside of the carseat more. One concern for me is how the fabric would wash because of the fur.... It washes great, looks as good as new... plus never looks dingy or look like it needs washed.... Great buy! Expensive but great buy! Oh always getting compliments too!!! Makes me fill my daughter is original and has something no one else has. Well a select few!! :) good luck! See what their return policy is if it doesn't fit, it's defiantly worth it! Hey!

I would definitely go for the graco! I hate my joovy ergo. It is extremely heavy, you can't fold it with the sunshade attachment and was a huge waste of money! The only positive is that the joovy is compatible with any carseat.

This carseat is pretty big for my honda civic four door rear facing. I had to pull up the front passenger seat. The good thing is, this carseat has an option to recline. Still, my back seat is already reclined, so I left my carseat all the way recline to make my baby lay back. If i were you, I would get small infant carseat. Make sure it's padded. I had Britax travel system and used its carseat for my car. Hope this helps.

I believe only the Chicco Keyfit/Keyfit 30 (Chicco's infant carrier carseat) will work. Their carseats are a different size than most (most are made to also fit in the top portion of a grocery store shopping cart, Chicco's do not) so other brand's carseats won't fit in (at least not correctly and securely). I have the Chicco carseat already and I have the opposite problem - when I look at info for double strollers made by other brands the Chicco has limited options of what it will fit into. Graco makes double strollers and you might check to see if the Graco carseats fit into Baby Trend double strollers as well.

For Safety 1st years the average is 6-8 years from the date of manufacture. I don't remember the window of time for this one specifically, but it will def get her through the years you would want a good carseat and solid booster! Most kids want the smaller less obvious boosters when they get close to reaching the age that they ALMOST don't need one anymore. And it can be used as five point harness seat for a LONG time. My son is almost 4 and still has LOTS of weight and height to go before he meets the recommended requirements for the booster option! I love the Alpha seats, all three of my kids have them :)

You have to buy a separate carseat adapter - there is a special for Chicco car seats. My son is over 37" and fits fine! I have the canopy in the lowest position, too, so my daughter can see over his seat better from the back seat (I use it as a double with two seats facing forward usually). No complaints about room, but there is still more room for him to grow since we can put the canopy higher!

You don't put a carseat in it. The child should be able to sit with support (4-6 months) before using this stroller.

even though your child is 20 lbs. its recommended that infants 6 months old should stay rear facing. I waited until my son was 1 yr old before placing him forward facing. this carseat is awesome and my son loves it, but my recommendation would be to wait until your child is at least a year old

i didn't use a bassinet, i used a maxi cosi car seat and it worked great till 10 months when she was too long. i felt it kept her more supported than a bassinet.

Personally at that age and size I would use a regular 5-point harness car-seat. Rear Facing Seats are now also recommended as well for children that young.

I think the instructions said not to use the seats until the baby is like 6 months old. However, because it reclines into an almost flat position I feel you can use it on a younger child. 1 month & 10 lbs. is probably a little small... But once they are like 4 months old it's probably okay as long as the straps can be adjusted tight enough to safely hold the baby in the stroller. For a 1 month old I'd recommend using the bassinet add on or buy the car seat adapter to use that on your stroller until your baby is a bit bigger. I hope this helps!

I ordered this same Pet Car Seat in a medium for my 2 Yorkies that are 4.8 lbs each and they fit perfectly in it. I think the medium would work great for your 10 lb baby. My Yorkies love riding in it.
