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

[Dena Wainwright]

the sit 'n stroll is a terrible stroller. it is tippy, and a pain in the ass 
to pull. its basic selling point is its functionality for travel. it can 
become a carseat or a stroller with the pull of a lever, so only one piece 
of equipment is required. I think it holds up to about 50 pounds, but you 
could get those specs on the tripleplay products website. you could also use 
something like a gogo travel mate, which is basically a graco stroller frame 
for convertable sized carseats. I think a site that carries them is 
travelingwithkids.com. if you did that, you could buy one frame and one 
carseat, as the convertable seats hold babies from 5 to 50 pounds. you'd 
just need an insert for the seat for when your baby is very tiny and has no 
head control.
