…Thе οnƖу one I know іѕ Orbit Toddler Car Seat. Anу others???
I’m basically looking fοr a baby carriage thаn handles well, аnԁ folds up conveniently tο ɡο іn car trunk, thаt саn join tο a real car seat fοr toddlers / young children. Thе Orbit seems tο ԁο thіѕ, bυt I аm wondering іf thеrе аrе οthеr examples out thеrе. Mу sister hаѕ used thе sit ‘n’ stroll bυt ѕауѕ thе quality wаѕ tеrrіbƖе аnԁ іt isn’t much ехсеƖƖеnt аѕ a baby carriage.

Toddler car seats are really too huge & bulky to go from car to baby carriage and back. It’s a whole lot simpler to just go the child from the car to the baby carriage and place the car seat in place.
I have an eddie bauer one, but I’m pretty sure a lot of other companies have them too. Check out babies r us & check travel systems (is what I reckon they’re called)
Kolcraft Universal Car Seat Carrier (*est. $50)
Baby carriage frame.
Reviews say many traditional “travel systems”, otherwise known as car-seat baby carriage combinations, are too bulky and expensive, and that cheaper travel systems regularly have quality issues. The Kolcraft Universal baby carriage frame solves both problems. This model isn’t a complete travel system. Rather, it’s a metal frame with baby carriage wheels that will accommodate most brands of infant car seats. This is a fantastic temporary scale for parents who plot to hold a higher-quality baby carriage when the baby outgrows his infant car seat. The Kolcraft frame weighs about 13.5 pounds.
Graco SnugRider (*est. $60)
Baby carriage frame with adjustable handle.
The Graco SnugRider is a baby carriage frame, meant to accommodate a unconnectedly bought Graco infant car seat. The only huge difference between the SnugRider and other baby carriage frames is that the Graco has an adjustable-height handle, a nice option for parents of differing heights. The Graco baby carriage frame is guaranteed to fit Graco car seats (though some parents say other brands also fit). If you plot to buy a top-rated Graco SnugRide infant seat, the SnugRider frame is the way to go. If you have another brand of car seat, the Kolcraft baby carriage frame is the better bet.
Graco Spree 511 (*est. $160)
Full car-seat / baby carriage travel system.
A baby carriage frame like the Kolcraft Universal Car Seat Carrier, is a better scale than a full travel system, say reviews. That’s because many parents eventually hold a lighter, less bulky baby carriage anyway. But, if you like the coordinated look of travel systems or just want one anyway, the Graco Spree pairs the top-rated Graco SnugRide infant seat with a matching lightweight baby carriage. Reviewers like that it folds vertically, so that the wheels never touch the handles or upholstery, and at 20 pounds, it is honestly simple to lift into the car trunk. The Spree comes with a pivoting snack tray, windowed canopy, and parent organizer tray with two drink holders.
