question about baby booster seat & space saver high chair?

we are expecting twin babies in the next few months..and I am looking around for high chairs or one that will have the same function.

first can someone tell me what the difference is between a Booster Seat and a Space Saver High Chair
more specifically these two items (other than the price of course)

and

also would you choose to put your baby in something like this or an actual high chair…?
something like this for example:

    how much to spend on infant car seat?

    hi,
    we are having twin babies this coming summer and I am looking at different car seats. I just learned that they will need an infant car seat and a car seat for when they are more than 30 lbs or so.

    I have been looking on amazon for ones that have the best ratings etc…

    is this a normal range?

    249.99 for one infant car seat …… that will be about 0 for the twins

    http://www.amazon.com/Graco-Infant-SafeSeat-Step-Nectar/dp/B0012IUU3Q/ref=sr_1_109?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1295284795&sr=1-109

    179.99 for one older baby car seat…..that will be about 0 for the twins.

    http://www.amazon.com/Graco-Nautilus-Car-Seat-Dori/dp/B002GWVDLU/ref=sr_1_178?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1295284068&sr=1-178

    are we really looking to spend over 0 on just car gear :( None of our friends have small babies who are ready to give away theirs. And since this is our first time as parents, I’m sure you can imagine we want to be really safe.
    But I just want to make sure this is a normal price range.

    any suggestions for buying gear for twin babies?

    thank you

      What's the best car seat compatible lightweight stroller?

      Here are the features I am mostly looking for:
      -fits a Graco car seat (doesn’t necessarily have to snap in but at least have special adapters/straps)
      -seat fully reclines (or almost fully)
      -canopy has a good coverage
      -weighs less than 20 lb
      -seat height (back rest) is at least 20"
      -stroller max capacity of about 45-50lb
      -at least 6" wheels
      -stable/safe
      -back closed when seat is reclined (no wind going through)

      So far I’ve been considering:
      Peg Perego Si (17 lb) with a weight capacity of 45lb, 6.5" wheels, 20" backrest, & excellent safety according to Consumer Reports;
      Zooper Waltz (19 lb) with a weight capacity of 55lb, 6" front & 7" back wheels, 17" backrest (SHORT)
      Baby Jogger City Mini (17 lb) which has a car seat adapter sold separately
      First Years Indigo (22 lb – HEAVY) with a weight capacity of 50 lb, 23" backrest, and 7" front & 8" back wheels.

      Which of these would be the BEST stroller? Or give me a suggestion of another stroller that I may be missing.
      I’m not asking whether to get a car seat compatible lightweight stroller or not. I am getting one this weekend anyways because my daughter HATES being in strollers & LOVES car seats. And since I’m always on the go, it’s more convenient to transport the sleeping baby in the car seat. I’d like to use it instead of my heavy Graco system.

      Baby Trend double sit n stand or Graco Duoglide?

      I’m looking for a double stroller for my newborn and 2 year old. I would like one I can put the car seat in back and toddler in front. The double sit n stand can hold 2 car seats, and is the one I’m leaning towards, because it converts to a normal sit n stand, which will be nice in a short while when my toddler is ready. However my concern is that my graco car seat won’t fit in this stroller. Thoughts and advice please?? Target has the sit n stand on sale today is the last day so I will be going to look at it later. http://www.target.com/Baby-Trend-Double-Sit-Stand-Green/dp/B002XTSRXS/ref=br_1_1?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&qid=1275745571&searchView=grid5&sr=1-1&node=3580041&searchRank=pmrank&searchPage=1&rh=&searchSize=30&id=Baby%20Trend%20Double%20Sit%20Stand-Green&searchBinNameList=purchasing_channel%2Cstyle_name%2Ctarget_com_brand-bin%2Ctarget_com_primary_color-bin%2Cprice

      Will any Graco car seat work with any Graco base?

      I am wanting to by this https://www.target.com/gp/detail.html?asin=B0020W0XNK&colid=9F786D6XY5EJ&coliid=I1Z1VWA4DOX94P&bckreg=baby for my baby but I really want a base for the car and it doesn’t come with one. I can get this base http://www.target.com/Graco-SnugRide-Adjustable-Base-Tan/dp/B0009V0TBU/ref=sc_ri_4?ie=UTF8&pf_rd_r=0PTG7EY71A4EPF6H3DJH&pf_rd_p=471801991&pf_rd_i=B001EY883W&pf_rd_s=bottom-11&pf_rd_m=A1VC38T7YXB528&pf_rd_t=201, but I don’t know that much about car seats and bases.
      The pictures online have a base, but the actual system in the store does not have a base with it. I am just a little worried about getting something that won’t work.

      car seat reviews… safety 1st onboard 35.?

      ive been looking for reviews on this car seat but havent had much luck finding anything.

      heres a picture of the car seat im questioning:

      http://s.sears.com/is/image/Sears/04914723000_20091210004010904?hei=600&wid=600&op_sharpen=1&qlt=90,0&resMode=sharp&op_usm=0.9,0.5,0,0

      im looking for a car seat thats black or mostly black, cheaper then 0, not wide, heavy and bulky works with shopping carts easily, and fits in booths at restarunts. i really dislike the "z" shaped handles on the evenflow car seats. i like the regular graco sungrides but cant find anything thats black or mostly black. i do not like the graco sungride 35s as they look to bulky and reviews say they are heavy and dont fit most places.

      i saw the safety 1st car seats and i like the way they look but ive never bought one before. what are some other peoples thoughts about these car seats? this will be my 4th baby and it will be my first boy. all my girls weighed between 8 and 10 lbs so this baby will most likely be in that range as well.

      thanks in advance.
