I have a love hate relationship with this travel system.First the pros:• EASY to remove carseat cover! This is my 3rd kid, and 3rd carseat. This cover is a dream compared to some other ones.• Easy to wash.• Lightweight• Compact•Extendable handle on strollerThe Cons:• Stroller not easy to figure out the first time. Hear me out. I used this to take my son to the doctor, I didn’t assemble it, read directions, or even look at a picture... my husband gave me the run down, and I figured it was a stroller - how hard could it be!? That was a mistake.When I unfolded the stroller and attached the adapters to accept the carseat, I had no idea there was a left or right. I put the adapters in, which can go in wrong - fyi, and struggled for several minutes to line up the carseat, with my son in it. Imagine balancing a super heavy plate on two chopsticks! That’s what sliding the carseat in to the adapters is like.After trying and failing so many times to attach the carseat to the stroller, to the point I was almost late to the doctor appointment, I called my husband. He couldn’t figure it out. FINALLY, after several more minutes, a facetime, and running out of ideas I realized the adapters could be inserted backwards, and that was the issue. I popped them out, flipped them around and in 10 second the carseat was attached to the stroller- by that point I was a pro. It’s a miracle I didn’t drop the carseat trying to do this!• Carseat removal from the stroller is awkward! Relieved that I had the carseat on the stroller, I hurried to my appointment for the baby. We were taken back to the room and we were asked to leave the stroller in the hallway. I thought no big deal, just use the same handle to remove the carseat from the base and... *click, click, click* the carseat was not coming off of the stroller. The nurse who sees babies and strollers all day, and who is a mom, pointed to the carseat removal handle and said “Shouldn’t this remove the carseat from the stroller?” and pointed to the lever on the back of the carseat. You’d think so, but no.She made room and I wheeled him into the exam room.Upon returning to my small suv, I knew I would need to get the carseat off the stroller. Mind you, it’s May in California and it’s hot! It’s COVID so I’m wearing a mask, I’ve struggled with this stroller at every turn. After a peek around, I saw two small levers on the front of the carseat and wouldn’t you know those are the stroller release! Pushing the levers is easy. The awkward part is trying to push the levers and at the same time lift and rotate to remove the carseat. It’s especially annoying if your sweet baby is asleep.• The way the stroller folds is prone to tear up the foam handle if it is extended. You have to return the handle flush to the stroller to avoid this before you fold it up.• The basinet part of the stroller is a great cat bed. I think we used it once! Babies fall asleep quickly in the car usually, so the likelihood you’re going to transfer a sleeping baby to a basinet is slim to none. Also there is no good way to cover the basinet with a blanket (a baby face mask if you will,) so another reason we didn’t use it.•The carseat is heavy. Our main living space is upstairs so I have to haul our baby in the carseat up and down stairs. I’ve also had a Chicco, and Graco and the Maxi Cosi carseat is beefy! It feels sturdy and has good safety reviews so we deal with it.• Not enough room with adjusting the straps. My son was 21-3/4” when he was born. We’ve had him at the second crotch strap placement (furthest away from the baby,) and tallest back straps since the time he was about 3 months. He’s now 7 months and his shoulders are too wide to fit comfortably in this carseat. We’re searching for a replacement.Essentially, this is an expensive mistake. I have purchased a decent umbrella stroller since buying this travel system and my son likes it, it’s easier to use, and folds smaller. Every kid is different, but my son likes to sit up.I REALLY wanted to like this whole set up, but I feel more like I put up with it. I would do things differently if I could go back and try again.I cannot thank them enough. A crazy neighbor took two of our wheels in retaliation for complaining about the noise. When I told the company, they shipped us the wheels with no questions asked. For free! I could not believe a large company would be so understanding and helpful.As for the excellent stroller, it is extremely easy to use. The frame is light and it is easy to adjust. Our baby has grown fast and we have already had to move the straps, but this was so easy to figure out. The stroller also balances well and lends itself well to moving our daughter from the car to her stroller in less than a few seconds. I would recommend anyone to purchase this again.I have been reading a lot of mixed reviews over this stroller all over the web. So I was really worried when I received my stroller today. But It was very easy to assemble, I hardly read the instructions because it was that easy. But that’s if you’re good in building things and I am. The negative reviews I read were about the cupholder and about how hot the baby may get because of the material of the car seat . I do agree, that the cupholder does look cheap, and it keeps falling off. The other thing is the cloth of the car seat I do see why people have said that the baby gets hot. It’s not summer here so I’m not sure how my baby is going to feel about the material when it’s hot outside. I don’t think it’s going to be an issue though . The stroller is on the wider side at the bottom, it’s a lot of room for storage but I wish it was a little bit more narrow for me. I’ve also read that the stroller looks cheap but it doesn’t look cheap or feel cheap. The only thing that feels cheap is the cupholder. I’ve also read that you need Two people to fold the stroller and put the car seat and take it off. But I did it all myself so I’m not sure what these people are doing wrong. It’s easy and I could assure you you only need one person to do the job. Besides that overall the stroller is and looks really good. I will add more to my review once I use it but so far so goodThe only reason why i am giving this travel system a 4-star review is due to 2-reasons. 1. When trying to place the car seat into the stroller, it’s a pain. You have to align it correctly or you can drop the car seat. Removing it is also a challenge. 2. The base of the car seat seems flimsy. With my first child, i purchased a Chicco Bravo and LOVED it! This time, not going to lie, i went off of the looks. Slightly regret it but i chose the aesthetics over the safety of my child. I will continue to use this travel system, in hopes that it will sway me different in time.December 2020 UPDATE:My son is now a 1 year old. I want to give this travel system a 1-star. The foam handle is falling apart and we barely used it.(COVID-19 has restricted us from full potential) I’ve been on the edge of just spending the extra $200-$400 for Chicco since this one felt so cheap. WASTE OF MONEY.I got the most use out of the infant seat, I didn’t really use the stroller much. The few times I used the stroller was when my baby was new- within the first month. Because I can lay the bassinet flat and strap her in that way which worked best since she couldn’t support herself. I am disappointed in the infant seat though. I have only machine washed it one time and I pilled right away after that.
