We bought this stroller and car seat system for one big reason, the fabric. It is so soft and cozy to the touch. I hate the way all the other strollers and car seats feel, they just feel so much like a tent. Anyways, it is really a beautiful stroller. I love the fact that it is unisex because browns can be both boy and girl with the right accents. So we have a boy, he is almost 3 months old, the car seat fits him so nicely. We've only used the stroller a couple times (beings as it's winter) but it is a bit bulky. Actually a bit more then a bit, if that makes sense. It takes up the whole trunk of our car, including the space from the floor to the top. And we don't have a small trunk either. Also the car seat doesn't always latch onto the stroller very often, but luckly it fits in snug so there is no issues. The canopy is so large, it's great when you want to block out the outside elements and you can close the two canopies over the little one and they are safe.

I have a two month old daughter that weighs just over twelve pounds. The car seat with her in it feels like it weighs fifty pounds. Trying to fit this car seat on the base in the back seat of an SUV is almost impossible. It is so hard to release for the first month of using it. I broke down and started crying every time I tried to get her out of the car somewhere. It literally took me ten minutes to get it to release. The car seat is so awkward to carry as well. The car seat fits nicely into the stroller, I haven't had any problems with it there. But using the stroller no more than twenty times the wheels seem to be messing up and makes the stroller roll weird. It's a nice system just don't recommend it to anyone!

I think that the stroller is awesome. My son loves how room it is and there is plenty of storage space for mom and dad. The carseat is a little on the heavier side and my baby was born big and outgrew it really fast. His weight plus the seat made it hard to carry. Also, I think that the material would be really more suited for cooler climates. Here is Florida, the microfiber seems to hold all the heat.

I adore this travel system. When used with LATCH, the base to the car seat is incredibly easy to set up. Even when not used with LATCH, it's still pretty easy to set up, just not as quick. The car seat is simple to get into and out of the base. I have no problems getting the stoller folded and unfolded. Yes, the stroller is a bit bulky, but if you're looking for a simple, small stroller, go out and get an umbrella stroller. This stroller is awesome for putting the car seat into it and going around the mall. The baby also sits comfortably in it without the car seat, even when he's small (under 8 pounds). The basket on the stroller is enormous, too, which is wonderful. And the handle is adjustable, so my 5 foot friend was able to easily push the stroller, as was my 5 foot 8 son, and my 6 foot 3 husband! The only reason I'm not giving the entire system 5 stars is because it did take us a week or so to get used to getting the car seat in and out of the base.

It folds up and fits in the back of an escape and the trunk of a grand prix with room to spare for groceries.Opening the stroller is simple, we just grab the handle and pull up. Break down is just as simple. Squeeze and twist the handle and push down. There is a safety strap to lock it closed and wouldn't you know you do have to undo it in order for it to open.I can't blame the product for my forgetfulness. The carrier is very comfortable and even though our girl was 5 lbs it adjusted to fit her well. At 8Lbs she fits just as good. Carrier locks in to stroller very easily and secure. Align the half moon clips on the stroller with the round locks on the carrier and just push down. It is a little heavy but soo solid and sturdy i'll make the sacrifice. The seat back is a metal frame that locks in position were i've seen others that just support the back with straps or bungees. The carrier locks in the stroller very solidly at the center. I have nothing to complain about. I wanted a solid well made system and this is it.

We bought this stroller thinking it was the best, it was highly advertised and after trying it out in the store and liking the neutral color we bought it. Well 3 months later its a big regret. The stroller is very heavy and not compact. The car seat is also very heavy and cannot be lifted with an infant in it. My husband is a firefighter and has trouble carrying the car seat for any significant period of time. Beside the weight the stroller wheels make a sqeeking sound and the carry handle keeps jarring. Its very poorly made. Dont make our mistake buy a stroller from a reputable company the specializes in strollers, Summer brand does not and I think that's its down fall.
Oh on last thing, the seat belt bucket at the bottom between the legs is too short and hard to fasten with the LO in the seat and the sides dig into his inner thighs causing bruising.

We bought this system with great intention of it being the best on the market. What a joke. Two weeks into using the car seat, the handle was squeeking, and it wouldn't go down without using force. The stroller also had a very bad noisy and never locked the car seat into it right. I contacted the company, and after arguing with them about returning it (they wanted me to send the broken one first...can't really be without a car seat), the sent us a replacement one. Now, two weeks into that one, the stroller doesn't break down, and the car seat handle feels like it's about to fall off. I'm very disappointed, and now am trying to get my money back completely.

Bought this set because it seemed to have all the bells and whistles on it I wanted. The stroller is too bulky and heavy, doesn't always breakdown easily. The car seat I regret buying completely. It's way too heavy to carry, if the baby is in it. I can't even press the release handle up without having to use both hands. Very, very disappointed.

As a guy when I saw the bases with the little screens I was sold and it didnt hurt that we both loved the neutral color. We brought the system home and the stroller was a breeze to assemble. When laying the car seat into the stroller I noticed it each side of the stroller had to be perfectly aligned when you depress the seat in order to get the snap you would expect when it is locked. This wasn't that big a deal to us but what we could not overlook was how difficult it was to release the car seat from the base. The car seat release handle requires way too much pressure to release. As this was our 1st kid I asked my neighbor to try it out (4 kids all under the age of 5) who struggled with it as well. Brought the travel system back hoping that maybe it was our seats release lever that was bad and that we could just swap it out but after playing with the floor models I cant help but think its just inherent to this system. We ultimately went with the Chicco Keyfit 30 as it is top rated by CR and the release lever on the car seat is a dream compared to the Proidgy.
