Stroller Frames for
Infant Car Seats
Stroller frames are listed in order of
weight from lightest up to 12.5 lbs. single and 18 lbs. for twins. For
travel strollers that also work with
infant car seats (as travel systems), see our
lightweight strollers
and double/twin strollers pages.
Maclaren Easy
Traveller Car Seat Frame
Why we recommend it:
It really is an "easy
traveler," thanks to the one-hand umbrella fold with automatic latch
and carrying handle--just what you need as you negotiate security, deposit your stroller frame on the jetway,
or hail your taxi from the curb. Add to that Maclaren's
ergonomic foam-grip handles, lightweight aluminum frame, and easy
one-handed steering, plus a most generous basket for your essentials. It
accommodates most infant carrier car seats, and secures them both by
latching to the frame and using a security strap as backup. Folds to 44" long.
Weight without car seat
is 10.6 lbs.
Compatible with:
Britax Companion, Peg Perego Primo Viaggio,
Graco Snug Ride, Combi Tyro, Evenflo Discovery, Cosco Designer 22, and
Eddie Bauer infant car seats.

Combi Flash EX Universal Car Seat Carrier
Why we recommend it:
The Flash features the compact tri-fold of Combi's travel
strollers, with an adjustable shoulder strap to assist with
carrying--leaving BOTH hands free to carry your infant's car seat. It also opens with one hand. The Combi flash works with
most major manufacturer's infant car seats, and
includes a safety strap with a fabric-covered buckle, plus a stroller
pack that features two bottle pockets and a zippered storage pouch.
Folds to 15" x 8.7" x 31".
Weighs 11 lbs.
Compatible with: Combi Connection, Combi
Tyro and Tyro II, Graco Snug Ride, Snug Ride DX5 and LX5, Century
Smart Fit Supreme, Assura Smart Fit Plus 22, Smart Fit Plus 22V,
Smart Fit Elite, Avanta SE and DX, Evenflo Portabout, Evenflo
Discovery, Cosco EddieBauer, and Peg Perego Primo Viaggio infant car
seats.

Graco
SnugRider
Why we recommend it:
Bells
and whistles. The Graco Snugrider is not the lightest weight or most
compactly folding stroller frame, but with two parent cup holders,
a height-adjustable
handle, 6" wheels, and a large storage basket, you may prefer it--if
you have a Graco SnugRide car seat. (It may also be used with the Graco SafeSeat, but it was designed to work best with the SnugRide).
It quickly and securely locks the car seat in place, and folds with
one hand with an automatic storage latch. Weight without
car seat is 12.5 lbs.
Compatible
with: The Graco SnugRide (or
Graco Infant SafeSeat).

Snap N Go Double LX
Why we recommend it:
One of a kind. It's not
easy traveling with twins--but being able to keep both infants snug and
secure in their infant carrier car seats much of the time can
definitely help.
While there aren't many travel systems that accommodate two infant
car seats, the Snap N Go Double stroller frame will, and it accepts most major
brands. Also includes a large
basket underneath for storage, a parent tray with two cup holders, and
a padded foam handle for comfort. Folds with one hand to 20" x
14" x 47.5. Weighs 18 lbs.
Compatible with:
Baby Trend Latch Loc, Cosco
Designer 22 and 35, Peg Perego Primo Viaggio, Evenflo Cozy Carry,
Evenflo Portabout, Evenflo On My Way, Century Vante, and Graco
SnugRide and SafeSeat.
