This is a great travel system. First, the price on Amazon beat all others by FAR. Also, the black/white/red is very classic and gender neutral. It just looks really nice! Installation was not hard at all. It took me about 20 minutes....I READ everything to make sure I'm doing it right. The stroller folds down very easily. However, the product description on Amazon says 'self standing fold..no bending'. That is not necessarily true. You do not need to bend to fold it....you flip the handle and gravity does the rest. BUT, it does not stand when folded...it lays on the floor. So you do have to bend to unfold it or move it. There are some strollers that stand when folded so you never have to bend. But those were heavier. This stroller is relatively light - for a full size. The car seat is small and lightweight as well. We wanted a lightweight car seat for when we're taking the whole seat wtih the baby out of the car. This seat only holds up to 22 lb babies. So you will have to buy another seat sooner than the ones that hold 35 lbs. But the car seat weight being lighter was worth it. You'll have to buy another car seat anyway, so why not be better to your back and arms during those first few months!

Overall, I find this to be a good travel system, but there are a few things I would change. Most importantly, the storage area under the stroller is very small and even our baby's diaper bag does not fit into it. I also feel that the material that the baby sits on in the car seat is hot, and does not breathe well ~ my baby is always getting very sweaty in it. Finally, the stroller is very bulky. The design makes opening and collapsing it very easy, but I have a 4 door mid sized car, and the stroller LITERALLY almost does not fit in the trunk. Though in the end I have managed to make it fit, I basically can't fit anything else in the trunk when it's in there. It is also rather bulky, and can be difficult to manage for some people. Overall, I do think that this is a well made, safe product, but I would probably purchase a different one if I had to do it again.

Great Travel System. The patter is even better than what I imagined. The cushion on the stroller and car seat are very well padded. The car seat is very light weight. Reclines to a laying down position easily. This travel system was easy to assemble. Even being in my 8th month of pregnancy I was able to assemble it on my own in 20 minutes. The stroller folds up in a very compact manner. This stroller as so many more features that I was not aware of when I purchased it that I love. I love how you can convert the stroller to a carriage so that the end is blocked so baby can not slide out the bottom. I also love the feature that allows for several different angles of the handle. I would definitely recommend this travel system.

This product has been great so far. Not very complicated to install. And it is light weight and strong at the same time. I would recommend this product.

I have used the product now for four months, and my four month old absolutely loves the car seat, without the base it is easy to carry - if your baby is larger the weight obviously increases. My son is larger however I am still able to carry the seat. The head rest is a great feature as my sons head is kept stable at all times, it is very easy to plug the seat back into the base when you leave it in the car. If you and your artner have seperate cars and you can fford it I would recommend purchasing two bases. I have only used the stroller once,the features are exceptional once you master them1 I would recommend the product, my sister has added the product to her own registry!

I highly recommend this travel system. When my daughter was first born, we were very pleased at how easy it was to just snap her car seat right onto the stroller. So simple! When you have a newborn, the last thing you need is a complicated stroller! My daughter is one now, and she still loves to ride in her stroller! It's comfortable, easy to manuever, and very easy to fold up and throw in the trunk. I love the parent storage tray...two cup holders and a closed compartment for keys, cell phone, etc. The storage basket is plenty big, but it can be difficult to access at times. Diaper bags fit nicely around the handle bars. I do wish that the canopy came down further--it doesn't offer much protection from the sun on those bright days. All in all, it's a great travel system and a great price. I should also mention that the reason we decided to buy this travel system was because it was ranked #1 in travel systems by a very popular consumer ratings site.

I chose this travel system when I was pregnant.

The car seat/infant carrier has been terrific and we are just moving my baby out at 10 mos (she is very tall and with a). I bought the Graco Snugride snap-n-go frame, and that's what I primarily used from the start (There were a few exceptions where we used the baby carrier directly in the stroller, where it can snap in, too, for additional shade.)

The stroller rides very smoothly, has a nice basket, and has an easy to use buckle, as well as trays for the parent and the baby (the parent tray has a closed compartment, which is nice). The stroller folds easily (same way as the snap-n-go frame) and has a window in the (small) canopy. However, the stroller is really just too heavy for me (when I chose it, I thought I couldn't lift it because I was pregnant... but it really is very heavy, something like 28 lbs.) I can't lift it to get it into my trunk, so I can only use it if I'm taking a walk and not using the car.

It is a nice set, but if I had to do it all over again, I would buy just the car seat and the snap-n-go frame.

This product seems to be well constructed. i would have rated it highr but there was no rear axel in the box when it aarrived, so the stroller couldn't be used. Instead of going threw the hassel of returning it, I contacted the manufacturer GRACO and told them what had happened and they sent the axel to me free of charge with no questions asked. I was really happy with the help from GRACO.

We have been using this travel system for over 4 months now and we love it. The stroller seems to ride smoothly and is easy to steer. The brake is also easier to engage than those on other strollers I've used. My only complaint with this system is that the window on the stroller canopy is not at an angle that actually allows you to see your child easily. All things considered this is a very minor detail.

I love this travel system. My daughter can no longer user the car seat but the stroller is still usable and she loves the cup holder. It was well worth the money, as it is not gender specific and can be used with our future child(ren) regardless of gender. I would definitely recommend this set to any parent that is looking for a good, reliable car seat and stroller.
