Recycled from an email to Kari today
I had a great doc appt this morning. Just a check-up, but it's nice to know the little person is still in there, doing his/her thing. Which apparently involves squirming that I don't notice at all.
We received a hand-me-down infant carrier and car seat base, so we're debating whether to just get the skeletal stroller base for it, then get a regular stroller for when the baby outgrows the carrier, or if we should get a single stroller that the infant carrier fits onto. I'm currently leaning towards the two-stroller thing, because it would be nice to NOT have to pack/unpack a 18-27lb stroller in addition to the infant carrier.

Yes, 2 strollers. Because by the time the baby outgrows the infant-carrier combo, he/she will have become eligible for a simple or (pimped-out) umbrella stroller, rather than those big-A ones.
Um, my parenthesis were off: (or pimped-out)
Oh! And, the carseat base can tip over, so I always strapped just the carrier into the car: lower, sturdier, easier.
Beats looking behind you while driving on the freeway to see that the entire unit has tipped over completely, thus potentially suffocating the baby.
But my car has a LATCH attachment thing - won't that prevent the tippiness?
LATCH rocks once you have a stable carseat. But we didn't have LATCH when we had the portable infant carrier, so we had to use the seat belt. It wasn't a big deal to buckle in and out. The base was a bigger problem, so we didn't use it.
