Chicco Cortina Travel Systemhttp://
www.toysrus.com/product...56652Top rated carseat + base + stroller, at nowhere near this price. Chicco Keyfit carseats ALONE are near $200 and I'll be getting the whole SET for about the same price. Frugal shopper that I am, if I don't jump on this, I'll be kicking myself (it's a discontinued gender-neutral pattern, therefore on clearance) and I'll never see another deal like this again (ends Wed., but there aren't enough boxes of them to last 'til then.) According to the website, Keyfit 4-22 lbs. is that OK? Anybody have this? Any thoughts? Thanks!

...would love to help you, but our youngest is 36 years old (gulp)!...and, all the 'unofficial' grandkids are also beyond carseats these days.

oh that baby is going to get some waterproof seat covers! Though I still have some time to shop around for that...but seeing how the first trimester flew by...oh boy...I just noticed I'm finally able to see some of the little blue car on my ticker LOL

S_D...I had them hold a carton for me. The mob will have to wait awhile. At my next appointment (amnio) I'll try to see if I can get a better pic than what they gave me last time (scanned it, but it turned out all black, but when I printed on photo paper, it came out!) Frugal shopper me already raided clearance racks for unisex clothes and things. Now it's just this bulky stuff that I want out of the way before I'm too big to carry them. I had a very smooth first trimester-no morning sickness at all, so I'm already getting big Thanks, Bull! I'll definetely check that one out!

Update:I got it...I got it...final price, with tax, after using a 10% off coupon I found on the website: $185.63!!!!! That's actually LESS than if I had just gotten a car seat alone! According to the guy who put it in the car, it's a 60 lb. box, and I left a note for a neighbor to help me with it when he can.

Had to make sure nothing was missing! I had it together in minutes. The coolest thing about keyfit, aside from it being top rated, is bubble levels to show that it's installed the right way!

Now all you need is a few NASCAR stickers!!! Might I suggest Donnie Allison's #1 circa 1979?

You know, when I was putting the wheels on (there are funky-looking cotter pins that you put through the holes in the rear axle that holds the wheels on, then put what they called "hubcaps" over to cover the funky-looking cotter pins, I was thinking these wheels needs some chrome LOL

http://www.toysrus.com/product...67170 Thank you again, bull77... I picked up the LAST GRAY one they had today (had a $5 off coupon. yipee) This one was more expensive, but I looked at the similar items and thought this one not only looked nicer, matched the interior better, but also seemed like it would protect from seat depression better than the others that looked really cheap and thin.
