We really enjoy this travel system. Having a car seat that fits into both the base and the stroller allowed us to leave our sleeping daughter undisturbed when moving her in/out of the car. Being off of work for 3 months, I didn't have to feel cooped at home when I could easily take my daughter to the store or the park. As big as the stroller is compared to umbrella strollers, we still prefer to take it, because the diaper bag and other items fit easily underneath, the seat-back folds down (allowing sleep or diaper changes), and it has THREE cupholders, 2 side pockets that can hold other items (burp cloth, bottled water, toys), and a little compartment for sunglasses or cell phone. The basket underneath is accessible hands-free by pressing up or down on the basket with your foot. The stroller fits in the trunk of our compact Saturn 4-door, or if necessary, in the front passenger seat (upside-down to fit in the wide wheels, which are anyway relatively easy to remove). The loaded stroller is easy to guide with one hand, so I can push it if I happen to be carrying my daughter. The stroller is sturdy and smooth enough to take down the street, on paved park paths, and we always use it on the packed sand at the beach (it even works over the brief path over the unpacked sand, if you go backwards). In her car seat in the stroller, she could get complete protection from the sun and light rain with the two canopies, although I found that a draped blanket allowed for more air flow. We took the whole system on a 10-day trip, which included a flight out of town, and I felt like our load was lighter than those we took before our daughter was born. At 6 months, she has just outgrown the car seat (but she's basically off-the-charts in her height/weight), but we still use the stroller now that she can sit up.

Drawbacks, all fairly minor: Not easy to close stroller one-handed. Wheels are wider than the carriage appears from the top, so I'm always banging the wheels on something. It takes a few minutes to remove/replace washable carseat cover, but this is probably necessary due to the straps. As with any carseat, we would suggest getting help by certified people with proper installation of the carseeat in your car; we had many questions on installation, particularly since our car lacked the LATCH system. We purchased a second base so we didn't have to remove the one in our car for our trip or for our babysitter's car.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good stroller system, November 11, 2006

I put this stroller system on my registry and we've been using it since my son was born last year. He is now 11 months and still fits in the infant carrier. We like that the carrier can be used in multiple cars so we bought an extra base. The stroller height seems great for my husband (6'2") and for me (5'8"). We don't feel like we are hunched over when pushing it.

The stroller seems like it folds very compactly, but it still doesn't fit into my VW Cabrio trunk (the trunk opening is just a bit small). So we use it with my husband's car and we are thinking about getting a compact stroller that will fit in my car.

My major complaint is with using the stroller without the infant carrier. Now that my son is older and wants to see everything around him, he doesn't like to recline. The back is adjustable, but we can't get it to be fully upright, so he is always at a 20 degree angle recline. He has started pulling himself forward and leaning on the tray. It is OK for now, but I think he'll start to get annoyed and tired when sitting forward like this.

Overall I would recommend this stroller system.

2.0 out of 5 stars Be Forewarned, March 17, 2008

By 

Debbie (Downers Grove, IL) - See all my reviews

Be forewarned that all Graco SnugRide infant carseats are not alike. I did not know this, and I bought this travel system only to find out that you cannot easily adjust the harness straps on the infant car seat. Many of the Snugrides have a button and strap in the FRONT of the car seat that allows you to quickly tighten and loosen the straps, but this one does not. Many mothers I speak to say this is an important feature that they use almost on a daily basis to account for differences in the clothes the baby is wearing or just to make it easier to get baby in and out. With this car seat, you must adjust the straps from the back and you can only adjust one side at a time. There is no quick button to push, either. You have to thread them in and out of a piece of metal with teeth on it. Not to mention, it is impossible to get to the back of the car seat while it is in the car (at least in my car). I wish I would have realized all of this before and I probably would not have purchased this travel system.
