Kid stuff. If you are a parent you know just how fast this stuff piles up. When you have that first child, you try to get every device, toy, gadget, outfit, fad, and baby-wrangling device you can. If you get around to having a second, you realize how unnecessary a lot of that stuff was. And you have learned how much space it takes up. What was a very nice and adulty home before you had kids, now looks like a cross between the Target toy aisle after Black Friday and a yard sale. There is kid stuff EVERYWHERE. Most of the stuff is toys. Almost none of them still have all the pieces. And none of the kid stuff will match your home decor. Instead of worrying about how fashionable and trendy your home is, you become more worried about being able to get dinner made, clean up whatever mess they last made, and keep at least one eye on them as they move on to their next game of destruction. This means their stuff has taken over the house.
So when there is an opportunity to ditch some of this junk, you must seize it. This was the case when it came to getting rid of the infant car seat/carrier. There is nothing fun about these. They are basically a plastic bucket that the people who make PSA's guilt you into spending money on. Kids seem to grow out of car seats faster than socks sometimes. But before your little bundle of joy outgrows that infant seat, you will lug it hundreds of miles and clean all kinds of bodily fluids out of it. But that doesn't mean you can't try to make a quick buck on it:
Graco Snugride car seat + 2 bases + Snap n Go Stroller + more $100
Are you looking for a great deal on an infant car seat? Not sure whether baby is going to be a boy or girl? Need a stroller? You are in the right place. For the incredible price of $100 you can own everything you see pictured here. I am selling a Graco Snugride car seat (new in March of '09) and lots of accessories.
Perhaps you have heard that there is a big push to put kids in "car seats" these days. Unlike when we were young, it is no longer acceptable to rely on a parent's quickly-extended forearm as a means of keeping children from flying about the car. Nope, nowadays the 'experts' want you to strap your baby into an approved carrier which attaches to the car and keeps them buckled in better than a NASCAR driver being sent to the moon. If you are expecting, or have, a baby this is precisely the system you want.
First off, you get the seat itself. It is easy to operate and keeps your little one strapped in nice and safe. It includes a handy little canopy which is great if your car breaks down and you have to carry them to the closest liquor store or truck stop in a rain storm. The canopy is also great for keeping the sun out of baby's eyes. Also included are seat covers and canopies which are blue AND pink. Perhaps you or somebody you know is expecting a baby, but wants to be "surprised" by the gender of the brat. This is neat and all, but it means that everything everybody buys for your kid will be either yellow or green. Those are both girly colors, anyhow, so you might as well just buy a bunch of pink stuff... but I digress. This car seat is the answer for you as it includes all the upholstered parts in both boy and girl colors. You just have to pick which you want and put them on the seat yourself (pretty easy). This is also handy if your baby has a gender identity crisis, is transgendered, or if you want to sneak your son into all-girls baby yoga classes at the Y. I don't judge.
The seat has a handle which you use to lug it around when visiting your in-laws, grocery shopping, going to daycare, or reporting for probation. It attaches to your car by snapping into a plastic base which stays in the car. This base uses the LATCH system or standard seat belts to keep the whole mess from flopping around your back seat. But what about those times when Baby-Daddy has to pick up the kid? It's a pain to switch bases from one car to the other, right? THAT is why I am going to include TWO bases. You put one in each car so now you just snap the miniature drool machine into whichever car you want in a matter of seconds.
Sadly, you can't drive everywhere. Maybe you want to shop at the mall. Perhaps Baby- Daddy's ride breaks down, maybe your license is suspended. I won't lie... a kid in a car seat gets heavy after a while. That is why you need a stroller. But putting your little diapered disaster into a stroller means taking them OUT of their cozy spot in the car seat, plopping them into the stroller, adjusting more straps and buckles, and needless time wasted in a parking lot when you could be scoring wicked bargains in Big Lots. Plus, if you already have kids, you know that they only fall asleep (and stop caterwauling) just as you arrive at your destination. The last thing you want to do is risk waking them in order to plop them into a stroller. Insert the "Snap 'N Go" stroller. The car seat plops right into the stroller so you can leave Baby right where she is and get your roll on. Trust me, this is beyond handy.
As a super-awesome added bonus, I am throwing in not one, but TWO, pacifier clips. These clip to the car seat's straps. The other end holds onto the pacifier, so as to prevent the pacifier from being dropped, or thrown, or lost. If you have ever driven with a baby in the car, you know how stressful it can be if you are doing 85 MPH down 696 only to have your kid start screaming because they were so foolish as to lose their paci. So now you are weaving the minivan in and out of rush hour traffic, trying not to drop your cell phone and reaching all over the back seat to find that ever-elusive pacifier. This is a really good way to spill your coffee everywhere. Not cool. With the pacifier clips you can rest assured that even if your lil' stinker decides they are too lazy to hold on to what is theirs, the paci will always be within a few inches.
All in all, I have to say that this is an amazing deal. New, these items all cost well over $375. Since my Baby Momma says our kid is too old for the seat - and since it is not QUITE big enough to hold a case of beer - I have to sell it. I am not interested in low offers or paypal. I will not consider trades unless they are for something really cool like a four-wheeler or a ride with the Blue Angels.
