[quote=sdrealtor]Along the same lines as Flu. Skip the bulky 3-1 stroller and just get the car seat part that locks into a cradle that stays in the car. They sell this lightweight stroller frames that the car seat/carrier sits on. Much easier, better and cheaper[/quote]They’re called Snap-n-Go’s, although I’m sure there are other brands out there now. Pair it with a Graco SnugRide (high safety rating, nice ergos) and you’re set. btw, get all this stuff on craigslist. We sold all of our stuff that way and a lot of it was like new (a Peg stroller, for example). It’s tempting with a first baby to get all new, but at least give used a look see.
