This is true, and the bug (and the bjorn) is all we ever used until about 1yo when we got an umbrella stroller for subway rides, etc. You can get another stroller if and when you need it. [ Reply | More

It depends how much you walk. We limited it to 2 strollers (live in Bklyn work in Manhattan): One for jogging/long walks and a MacLaren for trips to the store, etc. [ Reply | More

If you get the Bug (which I personally think is a waste, but that's me) you don't need the snugride frame, just the attachment. If you get the Bug you will also need some kind of lightwieght travel stroller --I recommend a Mac Truimph, for when DB is over 3-4 months, becuase when hte Bug is used without the carseat it is a nightmare to travel with (hard to fold, heavy). However what I really recommend is first just buying hte Graco carseat and hte Snugride stroller frame (which only costs $50). It is so great in the beginning, it's light, easy to use and fold and I walked EVERYWHERE all over the city with it, as did many of my friends. Then when DB outgrows this for his regular stroller use (around 3-4 months) you can decide what real stroller to invest in. Trust me it is lot easier to see what you want after you spend time at the playground, walking around, talking to other mothers and seeing what they have and what you like. I didn't do this and I regretted it. I bought a Bug before DB was born, never used it becuase some bought me the stroller frame and it was just easier to use. Then when it came time for a regular stroller I just didn't like the bug (I know most people do, I just didn't) however I fell in love with a friends Phil & Ted, and ended up buying that. I also got a lightwieght Mac for the car. This is my advice, do with it what you will. [ Reply | More

sorry I got cut off. What I was saying was wait to decided becuase after you hang at the playgrtound and spend time with other mothers and walk around alot, you will see what they have and why they like or don't like certain things. I wish I had done this. I bought a Bug before DB was born, but used the graco stroller from in the beggining becuase some gave it to me, then when I switched to the BUG I didn't really like it. But I fell in love with friends Phil & Ted's and ended up buying that. SO basically I wasted almost $1000 (I did end up selling it though). If you live in the City a stroller that you like is really important and htey expensive. You don't need to decide what you want now. You can use the carseat and stroller frame for at least 3 mos while you decide. [ Reply | More
