1) Graco SnugRider Infant Car Seat Stroller Frame
or the
2) Kolcraft Universal Infant Car Seat Carrier
They both cost about $59.99 so the price is about the same for either of them. Both of them are considered light and folds easily. The pro for the Graco seat is that the (Graco) car seat actually snaps into it so it appears to be safer. The pro for the Kolcraft is that it maneuvers well, is easy to push, has a large bar for storage on the top and has a bigger basket that is easier to access.
Persoannly, I have both of these infant car seats and really like the one made by Kolcraft better. Although when using the Snugrider (made by Graco), the car seat actually snaps in - I had a very hard time getting it to snap in and also to remove it. In addition, I could not put as many things in the basket and had a harder time getting removing whatever I could put in. I actually had to bend down to the floor to reach these items. This is both due to the fact that the basket on the Kolcraft is larger and the car seat is lower down on the Snugrider (which I did not like). The Snugrider also only has two cup holders as opposed to Kolcraft that has a whole bar to put things in. When pushing the two strollers, the Kolcraft seemed to handle bumps in the road better and provided a smoother and easier ride. Although, the car seat does not snap into the Kolcraft it does latch on and if you feel that this isn't secure enough you can also (and should) close the safety strap. This should provide more than adequate security. So if I were to advise a friend, I would tell them to buy the Kolcraft.
Reminder: You should always check the list of accommodating car seats before purchasing any car seat carrier to verify that it fits with the car seat that you are buying.
Amazon is having a sale now on the Kolcraft carrier and you can get it for under $50.00 ($48.49 to be exact so it is over a $10 savings).
