Or you can try the sit n stroll, its a bit more expensive, but it goes
from birth to 40 pounds, and 40 inches, I htink. and you can convert
it to stroller mode and pull it. I've done this and used my guide dog.
its not the easiest and I wouldn't pull it for hugely long distances
because its not the best actaul stroller, but it works for doctors
apts r shopping and stuff like that. and its not too hard to install
in teh car and such. we still use this seat when my dh and i take noah
places by ourselves. we do use a regular old carseat a grayco myride
65 in the car when my mom takes us places, but hte sit n stroll is
nice.
