We were first time parents and did a lot of research for a car seat/ stroller system. This one had great customer reviews and safety reviews. However what made us ultimately go with this system was just going to the store and playing with it. I feel like the car seat material was well padded and easy to clean. The stroller is incredibly easy to pop up and down one handed which is great when you're at a store holding the car seat is one hand.
6 Months later and I still love this system. My infant seems incredibly comfortable to sleep in her car seat. The stroller turns with only the slightest pressure and is easy to maneuver one handed. It still pops up and down super easily. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is due to the stroller downfalls. The little bucket in the top part of the stroller isn't really big enough to hold a full set of keys so the lid can't shut all the ways. And the storage compartment under the seat is a bit small. It's great for shopping bags or to keep a few bottles of water but doesn't come close to holding my fully stuffed diaper bag. It is sturdy enough though for me to hang the heavy diaper bag from a Mommy Hook off the side of the handle bars and not tip over (notice I said the side not the back). Overall it's a great system and pending no recalls we plan to use this system for our future children as well because it's holding up Great!

I bought this product while I was pregnant. I wanted to spend the extra money to get a durable and easy stroller system. My son is now 2 months old and I have used this system in stores, in the mall, and use the car seat in my car. I love the stroller because it's so easy to fold and unfold with one hand, and it's no heavier then any other brand of stroller I looked at. However, the car seat is very heavy and big! It does not fit in the stroller unless the seat is fully reclined and then I cannot get into the basket for anything! So if I want to get the diaper bag out of the basket I have to remove the car seat. It's also a problem for me when I'm at the grocery store. The car seat will not fit into any carts as most other brands of car seats do! I always have to put it in the base of the cart and then I have no room for my groceries! If I could go back, I would purchase the chicco stroller since it will be so nice to have once my son is older but for now I need a different car seat that is more convenient!

Received this as a shower gift. Pretty happy with ease of use (both stroller and seat). But I was very disappointed when I had to replace the seat when my baby was about 9 months old (less than 30 lbs) because he was too big for it. I took frequent walks and the wheels on the stroller soon began to wear out. My baby also didn't fit in the stroller past one year old because the side supports are too narrow. For the cost of this, I expected the seat to hold the baby until 30 lbs and the stroller to hold the baby for years. Find something else unless you know you are having a really small baby and if you don't do much walking.

Great product! I really like the quality of the product. The stroller "drives" well and is easy to handle. The stroller is a bit bulky, but worth it. I have a diaper bag that clips on to the handle bar (Skip Hop Jonathan Adler Duo Diaper Bag) b/c the lower compartment is cramped with the seat in the lowest position. The car seat can be a little hot for baby at times, but I feel it is safe and secure. It is easy to clean and the fabric is of high quality. I would highly recommend this product!

I bought this gender neutral Chicco Travel System (Midori) because of the great reviews on various sites. They are true! Additionally, I recently had the car seat inspection, as required before delivery, by a certified technician at my hospital. They are not allowed to be biased towards any one type of product; however, they unoffically said this (KeyFit 30) is the best car seat by far over any other type... not because of safety (they all are really the same in that category), but for convience to the parents. It's very user friendly (easy to adjust, remove, lock in place, etc... which is beneficial for mommy and daddy.

One additional note, some reviews stated the cargo area in the bottom of the stroller is not spacious when the seat back is reclined fully (required when car seat is attached to stroller). This is true, however, I found the perfect diaper bag for the limited space: Fisher-Price Deluxe Messenger Diaper Bag. This fits perfectly, when layed on its side. It also matches the stroller's colors perfectly (gray and lime green).

Being the daddy, I needed to have a somewhat masculine looking diaper bag. This is perfect, since it doesn't look like a diaper bag at all. Since it matches the stroller, mommy is OK with it, too. :) Check it out, it also has great features.

Other pros: easy to open/close stroller (one turn of the handle). Front wheels can lock in straight position, for when you are using over sandy paths.

For cons: bulky and kind of heavy. But the quality of the product makes this minor detail worth it.

Bar none, this was one of the best purchases I made for my baby. The car seat is safe and sturdy, the stroller maneuvers like a dream, and everything is incredibly easy to set up. Why only four stars? This thing is HEAVY. For a city gal like myself, the stroller is a bit oversized and bulky. It will take up your entire trunk and most of the sidewalk! But it handles so well - folds with one hand and turns on a dime. I have a lightweight stroller as well, and the Chicco rides so much better. Plus, it'll last my little guy forever. The carseat is fabulous as well, my only compaint is that my little guy got a bit warm in it. But overall, I strongly recommend his product and would buy it again.

Love this car seat and stroller combo. The color is perfect for a girl or a boy, which I plan to use the stroller possibly car seat for my second child as well.
Car seat is very easily connected to the base and stroller!
The stroller is easy to open and collapse! I would definately recomend this to a friend!

Also the key fit 30 has one of the top safety ratings of all brands of car seats....that sold me!!!
So, although the seat may be a bit heavier than others, the safety rating was more important to me!
