Went with Yongsing and Hanwen to get a stroller and a car seat for Yongsing's newborn daughter yesterday. Learnt a fair bit about getting them. :P
There are not so many kinds of car seats. Basically it’s just car seats for what ages. 0-4 yrs, 0-8 yrs, 1-8 yrs, etc. You just have to consider your budget and the age of your baby.
There are so many kinds of strollers. First condition you have to think about is the age of your baby. Newborns required the stroller to recline. Then there is the size of the wheels. The bigger it is, the more maneuverable when u reach curbs or steps. There are 3 wheels type and 4 wheels type. And there are those that come with a car seat for babies 0-1 yrs as a package. The car seat can be used at home for the baby to sleep. Then you can carry it out with the baby sleeping in it to the car and mount it in. When you reach your destination, you can take the stroller out from the boot and fix the car seat into the stroller without disturbing at all. And saves you the trouble of buckling and unbuckling the baby.
I thought the 3-wheeled-stroller looks cool and spotty. It’s meant for use while the parent is jogging. But as what Yongsing said, it’s like getting a sports car. It’s more expensive and you don’t really get use it properly. It’s mostly for looking nice.
Then we found a practical reason for it. There’s this range of car seats called Maxi Cosi car seats. It’s for babies aged 0-1.5 yrs. Longer than the ones that comes with certain strollers as a package. And it can be mounted on to the three-wheeled-strollers. This makes it pretty convenient, just like the packaged strollers and car seats. I thought it’s pretty cool. The downside is that the stroller is quite big and heavier than the other strollers. But it is sturdier. And since the Maxi Cosi car seat is for babies aged 0-1.5 yrs, Yongsing will have to get another one when she’s older. But by then, she would have a birthday and hopefully got 1 car seat as a present. :P Either that or baby number is coming / on the way, and he’ll need 2 car seats anyway. :P
So we bought that for Yongsing. Alas. When he brought it home, his wife complained that it’s too big and heavy for her to handle. L Let’s hope the shop let us change it with another model. But I doubt it. They removed it from its nicely packed form and we have pushed the stroller some distance from the shop to his car, meaning the tires are dirty. They may have problem selling it again if they exchange it for us. We shall see…

useful leh....to be able to detach as a sleep bed for the baby then attach to car as baby car seat then to stroller to push baby ard..
so....u'r 1 step more equipped to becoming a father leh....gd for future huh....hee...
Why are you doing this kind of gay thing? And what is the moral of the story? No moral ?! What kind of blog post has no moral?!! Wt*?!?!
the moral iz "do a requirement study from the user point of view"... what use iz it in getting such a "king kong" stroller when the women (ys's wife/mum) using it most can't even carry it around? it becomes a white elephant...a burden.. unless ys intend to take care of the baby by himself....haha
come on lar..itz not a gay thing.. itz a learning process to becoming a real MAN.. a real father..way to go yew mun.. though it seems like you've got more to learn....
