[blparent] Stroller please help!

[Melissa Ann Riccobono]

This car seat does not have a base, but is extremely easy to install and uninstall in a car. It is especially great if you don't have one single car you ride in most often, but are using taxis, Oobers, friends' cars, etc. Neither my husband or I drive, so we always move our carseats around a lot, so the base was not practical for us.

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.
