Hi All,
I've read several posts where some moms indicated using their strollers to carry their Britax carseats. Does anyone have photos?
I have a Graco Metrolite and a Britax Boulevard. I'd like to bring both to the gate w/me..I'll need the carseat on the plane.
Photos would be great. I can't figure out how to attach it to the back of the stroller. I know I could also just put in the stroller and carry my son in my ERGO but he's heavy at 26lbs.
Thanks!!

Some put the seat in the stroller and the kid in the seat. You might want to see if that is doable. You can use a bungee cord to secure the seat to your stroller. You would probably have to remove the bumper bar for that but that's not a big deal. You can hang it from the handle using the tether strap and attaching it around the handlebar.

okay... for doing it with the Metrolite, I'd just simply take the stroller tray off (you can leave it at home for the trip)
and plop the carseat in.
use a bungee cord threaded through the ff beltpath to secure it to the stroller.

OTHERWISE... will you need the metrolite at your destination?

I'd pick up a chicco tuscany (http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2 F&fkr=1&from=R8&satitle=chicco+tuscany&category0=) and a stroller bag... http://www.barebabies.com/macsinstrolc.html I'd check the stroller at the gate... and push the carseat on a luggage cart that you can snag for 20 bucks at walmart and secure it by using the latch connectors or the bungee that comes with it.

but nix the tuscany if you don't need a stroller.

Here is a link to an old post of mine with pictures.

We still travel this way, with this stroller, two years later.
