Snap and go type stoller for nb and toddler?

[ChunkyNicksChunkyMom]

My E3 is provong pretty though to use as once I get my newborn out of her PP infant seat and into the stroller she is awake and screaming. Is there anything like a Snap and Go that will hold a toddler and an infant seat for me to use the next few months? Thank you!

If you put your toddler in the toddler seat up front, you can wedge the infant seat in back. It fits pretty tightly back there.

you could check craigslist for a graco duoglider or baby trend caravan lite (or sit n stand)

Good luck

Hi Susan

Can you get her used to the newborn bed on the e3 by taking her for walks in there at other times as well (not just when you are taking her out of the snug car seat or waking her up). My daughter (now 10 weeks) is sometimes cranky if I unstrap her from the car seat to put her in the e3. But generally if she is already awake or we are getting in the stroller from the house (as opposed to from the car), she is much more cheerful. I think taking walks with her awake in there (as well as I often put her in the stroller the doubles seat removed if my son is at day care or willing to walk). My guess is becuase she is used to riding that way (awake), she objects less when woken up and taken out of her car seat to ride.

Also, I don't know if this will help but lately I have been doing a few things to help my infant enjoy the newborn bed of the E3 despite the fact that she clearly wants to be sitting up and looking at the world lately:

1) putting decals on the "roof" of the infant bed (meaning the back on the other seat)

2) there are a couple of places from which you can hang car seat/stroller toys. So I take the toys that normally hang on her car seat handle and hang them over her head in the e3.

Mine is about a month older than yours so I don't know if the decorations will help. Since she already has a lot of head control, I plan to go to toddler-toddler mode very soon. Maybe a month from now if I can get the straps tight enough.

It isn't an officially sanctioned use of the stroller, but we can use the infant seat in our Venezia with DS1 on the footboard (with the handle reversed) in a pinch. If you want a seat for your DS, you probably need a Graco or Peg Perego tandem double for now.

Does your toddler still want to ride most of the time? A Sit-N-Stand or Joovy Caboose might be a good option if he's wanting to stand more. Otherwise, I agree your best bet is a tandem like the DuoGlider. Lots of people seem to use them for just the first 6 mos or so, then sell them to buy a double umbrella, so they should be pretty easy to find on Craigslist, consignment shops, etc.
