San Francisco. Japantown. Maclaren Easy Traveller Car Seat Carrier. Loaded to the gills, which shows off a major feature — a huge, usable basket:
I’ve never understood why people buy the Graco and Kolcraft versions so much more frequently than this Mac model. It’s basically a stripped-out Volo, meaning that the frame is lean and light, it’s highly maneuverable, and it’s actually got working wheels.
Of course, I don’t understand the US passion for carrying babies around in plastic crates in the first place. In what universe is it a good idea to keep a baby stuffed into these horrors for hours on end?
No, I don’t buy the argument that if you take her out of her car seat, she’ll wake up. If she wakes up, that’s a clue — you’re supposed to be interacting with her. And that’s a good thing; a baby who gets used to the exact same, unstimulated environment early on is missing a ton of opportunities to get used to adapting to the changing world around him — during the moths when it’s most important for him to be soaking it up.
Get a stroller or pram you love, and let your little person wiggle, kick, and interact (or sleep without being mashed to bits) to his or her heart’s content. It’s good for both body and the soul. Yours, too.
