Let me start with the most important feature of The Snap N Go Infant Car Seat Carrier From Baby Trend: IT ACCEPTS MOST INFANT CAR SEAT BRANDS compared to the equally useful Graco Snugrider stroller and the Chicco Keyfit Caddy stroller frame.
That being said, you can make use of this stroller frame even if you end up buying, returning or repurchasing multiple infant car seats from different manufacturers.
But will it click the car seats securely into place?
Let’s take a closer look.
The Snap N Go Infant Car Seat Carrier
The Stroller Seat
The maximum weight that this stroller can take is 40 pounds. Do not overload the basket because the infant car seat alone plus your little passenger can already be quite heavy.
Here Is A List Of  Accepted Infant Car Seats From Different Brands:
- All Baby Trend Infant Car Seats
- Britax B-Safe 35/Elite 35
- Chicco Keyfit 30 (Regular)
- Chicco Keyfit Magic
- Chicco Keyfit Zip
- Combi Shuttle 33
- Cosco Infant Car Seats
- Evenflo Embrace
- Graco Snugride Click Connect Infant Car Seats
- Maxi-Cosi Mico Infant Car Seat
- Mia Moda
- Peg Perego Infant Car Seats
- Safety 1st Infant Car Seats
In order to use this, you just need to put the car seat into the frame. It will not “SNAP” as its name suggests. Instead, it will just sit there.
Gravity does the job of keeping the infant seat in place, which can either be facing you or be facing the other way.
You have to secure it with a safety belt if you want to 100% sure about its safety.
One-Hand Open/Fold Mechanism
This car seat stroller is very easy to open and fold.
To fold it, you’ll need two hands. You have to squeeze the red thing in the handlebar and pull the other side to fold it flat. After which you have to use the lock on the side of the frame to keep it tightly shut.
Reverse the process to open it.
Can Stand Upright Alone When Folded?
Should you need to take a mode of public transport, this stroller can stand by itself when it’s folded so you can just leave it on its own while you look after your child in the infant car seat.
Storage Basket
The storage basket is HUGE. However, make sure that you put your diaper bag and other stuff before you put the car seat in the stroller. That’s because once you snap the infant seat in there, there is very little room to access your stuff down there.
Parent Tray
For things that you need immediate access to like your phone and keys, you can put them in the parent tray which has a cover.
There are also 2 cup holders in the parent tray which can accommodate your large water bottle or drinks.

The Wheels And Brakes
It has 4 wheels which turn easily and really well.
One thing to take note of is that this is not meant for rough roads, snow or rocky terrains. Best to avoid off-roads when using this because the infant car seat can wobble as it is not really “snapped” into the frame.
However, for walks on flat surfaces like the supermarket or the mall, you don’t need to worry about your child’s safety as long as you strap the belt around the infant car seat.
Should you need to park the stroller, there are 2 brakes on the rear wheels. If you are wearing a slipper or sandals, know that it might need a little effort when disengaging the break.

Conclusion
Why would you need the Baby Trend Snap N Go Stroller?
If you are a parent who needs something to help carry around an infant car seat but is not decided yet which stroller to get, then this car seat frame is a good temporary stroller until your child outgrows their infant car seat.
How will this stroller help me as a first-time parent?
If you need to go out alone with your child, you don’t have to worry about needing help from anybody because it is relatively lightweight and easy to put in your car trunk.
The “snap n go” can be a little misleading as the car seats do not really snap into the stroller frame. However, safety is always assured as long as you wrap the belt around the infant car seat and stay away from off-road.
You need this if you have infant car seats from different brands as mentioned above but do not want to purchase separate travel system strollers.
Being a combination of plastic and metal, the quality is nowhere near high end/high priced travel system strollers. But for parents looking for a quick “snap” n go stroller that can be used regardless of which infant car seat they end up using, this stroller frame can do the job.
I highly suggest that you check out the feedbacks of parents who got this stroller frame to help you decide further.
