Customer Review: A Long Time Lover!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
We had the very first version of this carseat/stroller combo in 1998 and it was the best thing we ever bought (next to the Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper). I have always been the Mom who has everything new and state of the art and this was one of those HAD TO HAVE items! This easychair on wheels was used this for 2 children and it was a GODSEND when we travelled and was still in very good shape when we gave it to a friend. It easilly converted and made life very easy in and out of the car, mall, cabs, airplanes etc.
To the naysayers....This is difficult to convert when the child weighs 35-40lbs but at that point you should change over to the booster. It is a bit large to roll down an aisle in an airplane but you ask for help...that is what the attendants are there for. Despite the small glitches. I recommend this seat 150%. I loved it and so will you!
My sister is expecting in January and guess what she's getting at the shower........ONE OF THESE AWESOME
Customer Review: unfortunately, the best for travel
Summary: 2 Stars
while this product is extremely difficult to use, it is the best thing i've found for air travel. its very difficult to convert from car seat to stroller with your infant in it (and imagaine trying to get your - walking - 17 month old to stay put in an airport while you struggle to open the stroller function on this behemoth). i've always had to rely on the kindness of strangers to help with the conversions. it also won't fit down the aisle of an airplane - for moms (or dads) traveling alone, this is a major problem.....you need to carry your child, your carry-on and this oversized car seat (holding it ABOVE people's heads so as not to shoulder check them with it). Though i complain (for good reason), it is, unfortunately, the best thing i've found for air travel. p.s. be careful - you must hear the wheels CLICK to make sure the stroller function is working correctly. i have had the stroller collapse on the ground several times after going over small cracks, etc....once almost hurting my daughter in the process.Customer Review: Worth the investment
Summary: 4 Stars
We have used the Sit N Stroll system on two trips and found it well worth the investment. The ability to act as a stroller as you enter the airport, switch to a seat on the airplane, back to a stroller at luggage claim and into a car seat in the rental car was everything we asked for.
There will always be issues. Multifunction devices never have the quality that an individual car seat, stroller, etc. would have but we are willing to look past that for this very practical device.
You may have issues with an airline employee about the seat on the plane but stick to your guns. You'll usually get it on the plane. It is technically bigger than the seats on the regional jets and DC-9 we have taken it on but made it work. In the rear-facing mode on smaller planes the seat in front of the Sit and Stroll will not be able to recline.
If you travel with an infant or very young child this is well worth it. Keep perspective on the fact that it is a multipurpose device and you'll be OK.
Customer Review: Excellent travel stroller
Summary: 5 Stars
I just returned from a solo trip with my one-year old. I have made several solo air trips w/ my son in the past, but this was the first time I had this stroller. It made my trip so much easier and significantly less stressful. It was a breeze getting through security. The seat worked well in various taxis, rental cars, and relative cars. I had no problem converting it back and forth from a car-seat to a stroller (many many times). It worked well on the plane. I was able to wheel it right onto the plane with my son belted in. I had no problem lifting it, retracting the wheels and popping it into the seat. The stroller was easy to maneuver and I was able to push it easily with one hand through the airport. I was also able to use it as a booster chair for meals. Numerous people stopped me to ask me where I got it (including 2 flight attendants). I could not possibly be more happy with this product. I bought it specifically for travelling (because we travel frequently), and this is worth every single penny.Customer Review: Outstanding Product!
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally purchased this item solely because my wife and I were going to be traveling abroad. It lived up to its expectations imensely! We are so satified with the product that we recommend it to anyone who is thinking about it. There are some disadvantages, such as taking it out of the car and then trying to open it as it is sometimes difficult while the child is still seated in the seat. (not recommended to do, by the way...) But as I mentioned before, being able to put it in the airplane seat and have our son sit comfortably was great. He enjoyed every minute of being in the seat. The seat doubled up as a booster chair for dinner and that was great as well. Wish it came with a strap for securing the seat to the chair. The handle is flexible and collapses easily. The small storage area below the seat helps with stowing diapers and wipes for the baby. As mentioned, I highly recommend this product to any parent or caregiver planning on taking any flights or traveling as this product was very convenient.
