[quote=Anonymous]Do you need the car seat on Metro? (That is, are you taking the baby somewhere where there will be a car on the other end?) If not, skip the travel system and don't bring the car seat when you go on Metro---I find it's best to have a stroller that you can fold if possible, because sometimes it's too crowded to fit otherwise. We have an umbrella that has a car seat adapter for when we need to use it that way (Cybex---takes most car seat brands) but City Mini is a great option too (also takes most car seat brands). If you want a lightweight stroller that can take a car seat when needed, you could also consider a Maclaren (can't remember which takes a car seat, but at least one of them does) or Bumbleride Flite. Bumblerides are on sale right now on their website. You can also get a Snap n Go, as someone suggested, though my thoughts on that were that it wasn't worth it unless I got a hand-me-down or used one---new they are $60-$80, which is already halfway to a decent umbrella. We lucked out and got our umbrella used for $60, and it will have a much longer life with us than the SnG would have had.

Honestly, though, I use our carrier on transit whenever possible since it's just less stressful. The only times I don't are when I need the baby to have a separate place to sleep/sit/etc. when we get where we're going (e.g., dentist, restaurant, etc. where keeping him on me isn't super convenient). But if I'm just taking him from one place to another, or taking him somewhere that I can wear him throughout the trip---the soft carrier is a godsend. [/quote]
