[blparent] Stroller please help!

[Niko C.]

It also seems as though this car seat doesn't have a base that it snaps
onto, so you'd need to hook and unhook it every time you get baby into and
out of the car. Probably not too difficult, but less convenient than just
setting it on a base and letting it snap into place. I could be wrong about
it not having a base though.

I too, am interested in ways to push a stroller with a dog guide.
