I think BB gives a lot of advice based on what's most ECONOMICAL. Function over form. It's clear from these boards that form really matters to a lot of us, and is a huge part of the joy of buying for babies. For me, form mattered a little too much the first time around. I did NOT get a snap-n-go, and I sorta wish I did. I have, in fact, advised people to buy JUST a snap-and-go to use for the first six months. This way you spurlge and take your pick of wonderful strollers that DON'T need to accomodate a carseat/infant.
I never thought of it as advising people to keep the baby in the carseat all the time. I just meant that you don't really need to waste money on a "travel" system that will accomodate your carseat.
Of course, I also recommend wearing baby, especially in the early months, but only one of my babies liked this. The other hated it.
