Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Sit'n'Stroll 5-n-1 Combination Carseat/Stroller.. This one of a kind child passenger seat transforms from carseat to full function stroller with a push of a lever

Product Description

Tripleplay 5-in-1 Sit N Stroll Travel becomes convenient with the Sit N Stroll from Tripleplay. It is FAA approved and is the perfect choice when searching for baby travel systems. Flying with a child is very difficult. With a stroller travel system like the Sit N Stroll there is no reason to haul a stroller and car seat through the airport. Use the stroller function and wheel the children the airport and into the automobile. The travel system then converts to an easy to use car seat by using the car's belts. Once the destination has been reached, take out the retractable wheels on the baby travel system and roll the child to its destination. The Tripleplay 5 in 1 is lightweight and simple making it a great choice. The top feature on the Sit N Stroll from Tripleplay is its convertibility. The wheels retract into what acts as a car seat base for easy storage. When the time comes to go from car seat to stroller, no real effort needs to be exerted. The stroller travel system is easy to use for all parents. The travel system also features a height adjustable handle. The 5-In-1 Sit N Stroll becomes one of the most perfect travel systems for any parent.

4.0 out of 5 stars A lifesaver, December 1, 2005

My wife and I bought one of these almost two years ago. We first used it on a very long trip by air and by train. We've used it on subways, in restaurants, in cars and vans, and just to take the kids for an afternoon stroll. We've used it with my son and daughter from ages one to three; at four years old (and 36 pounds) our son is too large to find it comfortable, but it's still just right for our two-year old daughter (25 lbs). It's been one of the most useful things we've bought for getting our kids from here to there.

The Sit N Stroll works as a car seat and a stroller. With the shove of one handle the wheels pop out and lock in place or collapse back into the stroller. I manage to do this fairly easily with our daughter (25 pounds) strapped in. It's too heavy for my wife to do with our daughter in the seat, but she finds it very easy to set up or collapse when it's empty.

This seat fits into a standard coach airline seat. It straps securely into every car we've put it in, though not always without some effort. It restrains the child with a five-point harness that isn't easily opened by anyone under two (our daughter suddenly got very good at opening it a few months ago). A seat belt (with or without shoulder harness) fits easily over the front to hold the seat in place, and there's a strap at the top of it that clips to a small bracket that seems to be standard just for that purpose in most cars and trucks built in the last five years.

This seat doesn't have as much storage as I'd like; we always have to carry an extra bag with us. It also has smaller and harder wheels than do most dedicated strollers, giving it perhaps a less comfortable ride on rough surfaces and definitely making it harder to wheel it over some obstacles. It's much more comfortable for my wife to push than for me, because I have to bend over slightly to reach the handle; at 6'3" it gives me a back ache to push this with both hands for very long. I can stand straight when I push it one-handed, though, and it's pretty easy to do that.

None of those problems is serious. I love pulling up to a restaurant, popping the seat with our daughter out of the car, popping out the wheels, pushing it into the restaurant, and collapsing it back down and putting it on a chair. It's all so easy and it keeps our daughter under control the whole time. This thing was a lifesaver on our last long trip. The kids like it and seem to find it comfortable. With some more storage and a longer handle, I'd give it five stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE FOR TRAVEL-DESPITE DRAWBACKS, January 3, 2006

Okay, I never do this but I had to review this after taking it on a trip to Mexcio with my 6.5 month old daughter.We got the sit and stroll for traveling since thew infant /kohlcraft combo seemed too small for our 26.75" 18 lb daughter.I traveled solo by car to Sacramento( 6 hours),spent four days running around, in and out of different cars,restaurants,parks, walking trails, department stores etc, then took two huge wheeled suitcases and flew to LAX and then to Mexico to meet my husband-all with the sit and stroll in tow.I needed no help getting in and out of the hotels/cabs/planes because the "one handed steering" is just that.I checked it at the gate each time and put her in the bjorn for everything else.She seemed to be as comfortable as the regular car seat and stroller we use.It was perfect, no extra space needed for a stroller, no gross high chairs at restaurants( and if she was alseep, I just put the handle down and nestled the stroller under the table).Also the toy bag that comes with is my permanent toy bag now-basic ,mesh handled thing that hangs off the bars.I also covered it really simply with some pretty lightweight fabric for warm weather.
Here are the down sides to the sit and stroll:
Not the prettiest contraption....(sorry,...vanity..)
Annoying to install, but not as difficult as some have said-put a rolled up blanket or towel underneath to stabilize or use the seat back in front of it(rear facing) to brace it.
On the heavy side to convert alone, but doable.I had lots of bruises on my arm from the bar on the back( I converted it alone for most of the trip, but I did it successfully every time without a whole lot of effort-squeeze and push down or squeeze and pull up).
Sunshade needs to be longer, I used a rayshade extender to supplement.
Wheels aren't cushy at ALL,so any traveling on unsmooth surfaces is not pleasant for you or baby-loud and rattling and bumpy-but for airports and hotels and malls and a day by the pool at the beach it is just fine-cobblestone streets are not so fun though.
that is it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good concept but........, December 17, 2005

Mocha Mom "Family of AVID readers" (California) - See all my reviews

We purchased 2 of these for a month long trip to Europe with our then three and one year old boys.Since we were going to be renting a car as well as traveling by rail I thought these would be a great alternative to mucking aroung 2 carseats as well as a double(heavy) stroller.
We experienced our first problems after getting on the plane(they wouldn't fit in the seats as stated and had to be stowed,not really a big deal).The second problem(A big deal-during our second week there) was one of the wheel housings cracked ,and the wheel came off.Luckily my husband was able to duct tape it together and it held(barely) for the rest of the trip(You had to steer it a certain way or it would tilt).We called the company asking them if they could send one(wheel and housing) either directly to us( at a friends house) or to a relative in the States who would then mail it to us.We were told that it would take 3-4 weeks for a replacement wheel(Not Good Enough).
All in all it is a good concept,but the product needs to be made MUCH MUCH sturdier.
