The baby trend seats are known to be nice seats in the carseat world. They are affordable, and they’ve made some improvements in the last year or so. I read some of the reviews on target.com – frankly, I don’t put much into reviews online for carseats…. 9 out of 10 people have their seat installed incorrectly. So clearly, its harder to use a seat when its used incorrectly.

(you can get the whole system here: with 10% off by the way)

This is a good system: and the seat goes up to 30lbs. The graco strollers are actually pretty good quality… they are just huge. But if I was in this pricerange, it’s probably what I’d end up with.

If you can go up just a bit – what I would recommend is the chicco system… it’s much more like a high end stroller/carseat then other mass produced strollers –

Stay away from Evenflo…

I’d say you’re headed the right direction with the baby trend. You an also buy a stroller and combine it with a carseat individually…
