Summary: 5 Stars
Our baby has not yet arrived. So, we do not yet know how well this will hold up. We did put it together and like the ease of maneuvering as well as the transferability of baby, from car to stroller and from stages of infant to toddler. It was easy to put together and it's easy to fold up and put away. We were blessed to receive this as a gift from my parents. Thanks Mom and Dad!Customer Review: Great stroller, carseat is NOT for big babies
Summary: 3 Stars
We have owned this travel system for over 6 months now. It's light, very maneuverable and folds real easy. Our only gripe is the seat belts on the car seat do not fit our baby. He started outgrowing the straps 15lb onwards and at 20 lbs, we cannot buckle him into the car seat because the straps don't fit around him! The stroller is great, but the car seat is one item I wish had longer straps. Also, the 5 point buckle on the car seat is rather awkward to use. Customer Review: Great for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using this stroller for 5 months now. The stroller looks sleek without paying the high price of some other strollers on the market. It is not the same old stroller that everybody else has which I personally like. The stroller handles well and is easy to push. I live in a downtown urban area and it rolls over train tracks, uneven streets, and pot holes with ease. My friend owns a graco and has problems going over any pavement that is not even. For the price you can't beat what you're getting.
Now the negatives. The cup holders are small, however there is one that is normal size, so that normally suits my needs. The canopy on the baby carrier looks cheap and is lopsided due to the plastic piece on the rim being bent. The harness is difficult to buckle and unbuckle at first, but once you use it for a while, it loosens up. This was a challenge at first, especially with a crying baby. None of these down points are major issues for me and overall I like the stroller.
Customer Review: Good But Not Great
Summary: 3 Stars
This is our first baby, and so I don't have experience with other travel systems, but here is what I like and don't like.
For tall people, the height of the stroller handle is great. The mechanism by which the car seat snaps onto the car seat base and the stroller is very easy. Folding the stroller for transport or storage is a synch with one release trigger located on the stroller handle. I feel like baby is comfortable when we take her out in the stroller using the car seat. She's not old enough to sit in the stroller seat alone, so I cannot comment on that.
What I don't like most of all is the way the safety straps were designed in the car seat. The top buckle across the baby's chest is easy, but trying to pull together the left and right buckle to snap into the lower buckle is a pain. You have to hold the two pieces together while you fight to barely be able to click them into the buckle. It's got to be a snug fit to be safe, so loosening the straps for an easier latch is not an option. I also think the hood over the car seat was poorly designed. The plastic across the top is flimsy and ours sit cricked. Also, the back fabric portion is loose and flips up when it's windy and sometimes gets in the way instead of folding into itself nicely. I find the release levers on the car seat handle to be a bit difficult to push in for hands that are tired from holding a newborn for hours and hours a day. And finally, the front wheel is squirrely and so maneuvering the stroller with one hand, which you should be able to do, is impossible because the stroller keeps going to the left or right, but does not stay on path.
