Aprica Moto Travel System Stroller - Spirit

I absolutely love this stroller and the car seat. My daughter is 8 months and still can fit in the car seat. She grew out of the other car seat by the time she was 5 months. The stroller is lightweight, easy to open and fold, and nice looking. We have all black so you don't see any stains and so far there is no fading.

The system is great, the seat comes easily in and out of the car, the stroller is so smooth and easy to push. All in all we're very happy with it.

Got this for my baby 2yrs ago and it is STILL a beautiful stroller. Smooth turns, SUPER EASY to fold/unfold, great compartments for cup holder, flip-top storage by handlebar, handlebar is height-adjustable and can fold all the way down to maneuver stroller with one hand, seatback reclines all the way, and canopy provides FULL coverage for shade. Under carriage storage is deep and holds a lot of things. It may be blue'green but I loved it for my daughter and doesn't show stains, easy to wipe up even old stains. Still, I haven't found a stroller to compare to this one. If you do, please reply. Worth every penny!

We searched for months to find a travel system that would be easy to carry around and lightweight. Our baby is now 4 months and weighs 20lbs so has this has done so well with us! I love the stroller and car seat, it was a purchase that I am very pleased with!

I just got this in the mail and the carseat is very small compared to some brands. You may need to buy another carseat after about 3-4 months.

First time mom and I love the stroller. Very easy to put in and out of car. Easy to lock in the stroller as well. Love that the stroller is lightweight. It's a smooth ride and very easy to push. Best part about the carrier is that it has a removable shade attatched to the visor. I'd say what I don't like about it is that the diaper bag is hard to get to when the seat position is all the way down.

I love it. We bought with our first and any other children in mind. My husband and I about a foot apart in height so we needed something that would work for both of us. The adjustable handle works awesome. The car seat is easy to click in and out of the stroller and it's as easy the directions say to fold it down and store. We have no complaints on this product!

I searched and reviewed so many travel systems and this came to be the best. I did so much research for the first 6 months of my pregnancy. It is so comfortable and when we took loaded my little one up the nurses were impressed on the car seat. When I took it to be inspected at the fire department they were even impressed because everything on it was updated to the new standards of inspection. If you want an extra base I was told by Aprica that the Aprica brand is being moved back to Japan and will not be sold in the US anymore. I was told that the Graco Snugride 30 base is the exact replica of the Aprica A30 base. It looks the exact same just different color. Hope this helps:)

Given this travel system as a baby registry gift and so glad for it! Light weight, able to stand on its own when closed, easy to maneuver, nice combination shade for baby when car seat is used with stroller. Agree with other comments that the hole in the handle area would have been more useful as a tray or other component, but we ended up using it to place large umbrellas through the opening (with base of umbrella in storage below). Used every day and checked on airplanes several times (both seat and stroller) with no issue.

This is a very decent travel system. When I was considering this, many reviewers complained that the car seat does not 'snap' into the stroller. This is because when you fold the stroller, the back is usually set upright to make the stroller as compact as possible. To snap the car seat into the stroller, you have to first recline the stroller back. (It helps to at least glance at the instructions)

The car seat is basically a slightly upgraded graco. I like the handle better, and the cover/padding is a bit nicer, but the advantage is that all the graco accessories work with it like the travel swing. I'm not certain about bases.

For the price, I would say this was a good buy. The only downside was that, as other reviewers mentioned, the stroller is a bit stiff over bumps in the sidewalk. If I had it to do over again, I might have gone with a large rubber wheeled stroller, maybe even a jogger, and a separate carseat, but that would have cost quite a bit more.

Pros:
- nice looking system
- compact
- lighter than many carseats
- car seat compatible with graco travel swing
- does indeed 'snap' into stroller with seat

Cons:
- stroller is a bit stiff on sidewalk bumps
