4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Neat Stroller Frame..., December 27, 2006

This review is from: Kolcraft Universal Infant Car Seat Carrier (Baby Product)

I have a Graco Snug Ride II carseat...I selected this stroller frame because I had a gift certificate that covered the cost of it so it would be free.

Upon assembly, we attempted to attach the car seat to the stroller frame. The instructions made it look like the back part of the car seat should snap onto the frame. Our car seat does not.

Called customer service, got a prompt friendly associate on the phone who informed me that Graco Snugride II will not snap onto this frame, but that the safety strap should adequately secure the seat to the frame.

So for that, I take away one star.

However, the other four stars are well deserved. Here's why:
1. It fits in the trunk of my Honda Civic with room to spare.
2. It is lightweight.
3. You truly CAN open and close it with one hand, LOVE THIS!!
4. The ride is SMOOTH regardless of terrain.
5. The handle is just right for a 5 ft 2 mom. No back strain or arm tiredness from improper height.
6. The basket on the bottom is SPACIOUS and easy to access. Big ole diaper bag and Mom's purse fit nicely.
7. The parent tray is spacious and holds keys.

As for a recommendation, I am on the fence. I would prefer for the seat to snap onto the frame, this still bothers me. However, all the other features are important and work well for this product, including availability of customer service to quickly answer questions. So I would say I am 51% leaning towards a "Would Recommend" for the Kolcraft Universal Car Seat Carrier...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stroller!, October 21, 2006

By 

Amie (CA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kolcraft Universal Infant Car Seat Carrier (Baby Product)

I'm a first-time mom of a 9 week old and I like things to be easy. (Why add stress to your life if you don't have to?) I'm so happy I decided to wait to buy a Peg Perego or Mclaren light weight stroller until my son gets bigger. I've been using this stroller actively for 7 weeks now and couldn't be happier. Here's what I love about it:

--I didn't notice when I purchased it that it has shock absorption, and it's a smooth ride for long neighborhood walks.
--The wheels have even survived the rough terrain of a gravel/hay pumpkin farm, when I thought I would damage it for sure, and didn't.
--It's so light
--It's narrow enough to use in tiny restaurants in the Bay Area, and is also great for long neighborhood walks.
--It holds my large diaper bag when needed.
--I can fold it with one hand, prop it up against my thigh and plunk it in the trunk with ease.
--It's good for talk people (I'm 5'9") and has a comfortable handle.
--I can push it with one hand and hold my coffee in the other. (I didn't know that you can't put a coffee in the cup holder of many strollers because coffee will go everywhere, but the cup holder is good for pacifiers, keys, water bottles and a baby bottle.)
--The storage compartment below has two mesh pockets--perfect for my wallet and small toys, receipts, etc.
--I don't have an SUV, and it fits in the trunk with room to spare.

I've never written a review before, but read them all the time, and wanted other mom's to know how happy I am with this purchase. It's not very often that you're the happiest with the cheapest option of anything, but I love it when that happens!

And oh, if you're into this kind of thing, it matches the new Graco Safe Seat (the black and red one) perfectly! The hooks on the back don't fit the stroller perfectly, but once it's strapped in, there's no way the seat is going anywhere.

1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING: Universal does not mean Universal, December 12, 2006

This review is from: Kolcraft Universal Infant Car Seat Carrier (Baby Product)

According to the manufacturer, this car seat carrier is NOT compatible with thousands of infant car seats on the market despite the clearly misleading name "Universal". I bought the top rated infant car seat by Britax and then this carrier based on the box which said compatible with Britax. After reviewing the instructions, I found it was not compatible with this and many other infant car seats.
