I'm having a hell of a time picking out a double stroller. Everyone says to get the Bob. We have a Britax BSafe 35 infant so that's compatible. The 2017 Britax double stroller isn't compatible with the infant seat after a recall. The City Mini isn't compatible with Britax anymore. So we don't have a ton of options. I mostly wore DS for the first year so I'm wondering if I should even bother. I'm hoping the 2018 Britax double will be compatible w the infant seat I'm just not sure when they'll release it. Anyone know any other strollers that would be compatible with a Britax infant seat? I'm pretty sure the b ready is compatible

I guess the infant seats weren't fitting securely and some fell out. 😳

easternshoregirl Nah, I would do bassinet or sleeper, not both. The sleeper seems like it would last longer.

They're still saying you can't use the infant seat w the double for some reason though. 🤔

It lives in the garage for walking and running. We have a city select as our double by my infant seat is a Chico

People just always talk about how massive it is.

hiimjamie I don't know what the trunk space is like on a CRV. We have an Acadia, but with three kids I have to have the third row up and it definitely doesn't fit. My husband has a covered truck bed and he can't close it if we put it in there because that thing barely folds at all. But I *think* it would fit in my mom's Lexus SUV so maybe you're good?

The back of the CRV isn't huge for an SUV so we might have issues. We also always have a ton of other crap back there. Beach stuff, a travel high chair.... so maybe it wouldn't work. I honestly wore DS almost exclusively the first year so I'm not convinced we need one immediately. Maybe we'll have to buy a van for our stroller. 😂

Ours is the 2015 so still has the click in things for the infant seat. Maybe look for an older one used?

Enough people use it as a double that clearly I must be doing something wrong. But j think it would be a PITA. 🤷🏼♀️ Still love it as a stroller though!

A friend of mine that used to work at bru said that new strollers are usually released in January. I have no idea if that is still true since it's been awhile since she worked there. I do know that when I was pregnant with G we waited until January to register because of it. She was right then. Brand new strollers were there when we went in January vs December.

hiimjamie, I think the double BOB would fit in the CRV. We have that car too and I pop the single in there with plenty of room to spare...I think the single folds up pretty nicely, I would expect the same for the double. I haven't tested it though!

I was spying all of them at Disney today and trying to figure it out. I think you're right. I'm having such a hard time digesting the cost of quality double strollers. 😂

I've had it for two years and just learned how to secure the wheel when it is folded like a month ago! But it is easy once you know!

hiimjamie, is there a decent secondhand "market" for them near you? We are close enough to the D.C. metro area that I see a ton on Facebook marketplace and Craigslist. It's just a matter of getting serious about finding one, for me.

It's just a matter of getting serious about finding one, for me. I've looked and haven't found much. But like you said, I haven't been super serious in looking. And I'll be sure to watch alllll the YouTube videos about it!!

We got the double! It is in great shape and really clean, 3 years old. DH said it fit in the back of the car fine.

For the record, let's just say I realized DH hasn't been fully colapsing the BOB when he tries to put it in his truck. Lolololol. Sorry for the confusion.

Who knows anything about the Nesting Days newborn carrier? I see it is a top pick on Lucie's List...which has never steered me wrong. Is this something I want?!?!?! www.nestingdays.com/

Update: I poked around some more with the Amazon settings, and you can definitely get a welcome box, and it looks like the 15% discount on eligible stuff 60 days previous should still work! I went through and just checked off all the sections of the registry (you don't actually have to add things) and it sent me a welcome box. I got a super cute swaddle! It's from something called Swaddle Designs. Unfortunately I already have approximately a million swaddles so this probably won't convince me to spend money on them. Probably.

I'm carrier incompetent so I could see trying this. The K'tan was a disaster that always ended with being completely tangled with a pissed off baby, and I find most of the more structured ones hard to get on by myself. I think part of it was that DS was not a fan of being in carriers in general.

My DS loved being carried, so we went through all sorts of iterations...we have a linen sling, a Boba, the Ergo, some other hip carry one that a friend gave me that kills my neck (so we don't use that one!). Some were just too hot with an August baby in MD...Boba, I am looking at you. I want to borrow a K'tan this time around, another friend has one so I will ask for hers!

Thanks snowyowl,! I thought I had to add everything to my registry so I decided not to do it. Good to know I could just check them off without adding!
