[blparent] Convertible Car seat

[Star Gazer]

Use the straps to carry it. 
I found that as my daughter got older and also heavier, the sit&stroll
didn't work well. You have to lift it completely off the ground to
manipulate the wheels. That is difficult as the seat itself is heavy. Add a
child, and it only gets heavier. 
I also wrecked our sit&stroll when I tried to remove the cover so it could
be washed. Fortunately, our daughter was outgrowing it, so this was a good
time to destroy it. 
I found I was far happier with the Alpha Omega carseat. Lightweight, longer
usability, and a lot easier to clean. 
I tried the sit&stroll based on suggestions from the list. The concept is
cool. The usability has a lot to be desired.

Yeah because they don't make convertible car seats with handles. I was just
thinking something that would be lightweight that I could put under my arm
or something like that. I'm sure some of the more experience may have
helpful info.

like something that is easy to install and multiple vehicles and to carry to

vehicles, but it is really heavy to carry around.
