[blparent] Carseats for children 1 year-old or older?

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I personally like the umbrella stroller very well.  It's inexpensive, easy 
to fold and carry, and it has lasted through SARAH'S TWO YEARS>  Some have 
claimed the umbrella strollers are easy to tip over, but I've never had that 
problem.

>>> Hi,

>>> Snugglerider for children less than a year old.
>>> However, for children 1 or older, we're looking for a carseat that fits
>>> kids up to 50-65 lbs, is front and rear facing and can be placed in a
>>> stroller We don't have a car, so we need one that can be used without a

>>> out of taxis or public transit
>>> We're trying to buy as few carseats as we can, so we're not forking out
>>> cash for a few months at a time.
>>> Any help would be greatly appreciated!
>>> Thanks in advance, and have a great weekend!
