Joan, one of the things we've talked about
is that people do a ton of research
in picking their child restraint that goes in their car.
And often people buy that first seat
as a travel system with a stroller.
But what if people have done a ton of research,
they've narrowed it down to one child restraint,
but they're not really happy with the stroller
combination that goes with it?
What are their options?
Well actually, they do have quite a few options.
This is called a "universal" car seat carrier.
Universal may be in quotes, because it may not
work with every single seat, but it works
with quite a number of them.
So basically, when you're attaching your car seat
to a stroller, you expect to hear a click.
Here, you're not going to hear that.
You're just going to rest your seat on this frame,
but you secure it.
These straps run right through the belt path on your car seat,
and you just click it into place.
Nice walking speed, so it's nice and secure.
And what I like to do when attaching a car
seat to a stroller, always pick it up by the car seat
so you know it's secure.
This is universal.
Now what if they want the stroller for their next step?
So when they stop using the carrier,
but they do want a stroller underneath?
Right.
Here's one option for you.
For this particular one, depending
on the car seat that you have, you
have to make sure that this stroller manufacturer sells
a car seat adapter that will work with your car seat.
So this particular one--
these adapters work with that car seat.
So what I first had to do, you have
to take off the canopy here.
Get it out of the way.
The seat has to be reclined all the way,
you just pop these adapters right on here.
See this little lip there?
Just slide it right down until you hear a click.
OK.
And then you just take your car seat.
You have to align it, sometimes you have
to fuss with it a little bit.
But you should hear a nice click.
And I click here.
So let's pick it up and make sure it's firmly attached.
This is good.
So that's pretty simple.
OK, now let's talk about the City Mini stroller.
This is also another one where you
have to buy an adapter that goes with a particular stroller that
will work with your car seat.
So in this case, Baby Jogger makes
an adapter for the Chicco.
Do the adapters go with all seats?
No, they're very specific.
In fact, this adapter will work with one other seat,
but you actually have to assemble this differently.
It comes with another part, and you have
to assemble it differently.
So again, really specific.
Very specific, which you kind of reassuring, I think.
You know, you want it to match.
So basically, what we have to do is remove the canopy,
which is pretty simple.
Just these two buttons.
And we're just going to lift it straight out.
And you can see there's these two holes here.
And that's where the adapter goes.
That's right.
And same principle, it'll just click in.
And you always want to hear a good click, like when
you're attaching your car seat.
So you're just going to pop this in.
And now you have the canopy from the child seat,
so you don't really need the canopy from the stroller
anymore.
You can just store this until you need it again.
So now let me show you what I think is the simplest option.
OK, you really like this.
We really like this one.
This is the Chicco Activ3.
Chicco, not Chico.
Not Chico, Chicco.
They're Italian.
And this is the Chicco KeyFit infant seat.
This is great because not only is it a great stroller,
excellent maneuverability, you don't need any adapter.
You can just pop your seat right in here.
Is that because it's a Chicco seat in a Chicco stroller?
Yes.
Now, what I've already done is recline the seat.
Any time you put a car seat into a stroller,
you usually have to recline the seat all the way.
To make it fit.
Yup.
This is very simple.
You just put your seat rear-facing,
just pop it into place.
And this is not a travel system.
This is not sold as a travel system.
These are separate items, again, that the customers
put together.
Exactly.
And no adapter needed.
You don't have to buy a third piece,
like you did with those others.
If you're considering buying a stroller, or a car seat,
or an adapter, make sure you do your research online.
Because sometimes, there can be incorrect information
on a website, like they'll say, oh, this adapter
works with all of these car seats.
But it may not work with every single variation of that car
seat.
So make sure it's returnable.
Exactly.
Keep your receipt, make sure you try it.
If it doesn't work, you can return it right away.
