No suggestions about the product as yet. The baby is due the end of June. I will know more after using the stroller/babyseat combination.

I was not happy with the check out process. I was offered a percentage off if I signed up for your credit card. I did this and then was told my purchase did not qualify.

I've used the car seat for 3 months now and recently been using the stroller since the weather got nice. I haven't had any problems with either. Some times it takes a lot of strength to buckle her in or the release gives me problems when I go to take her out of the car, but not enough that these are big problems to me yet. Happens once in a great wild. But I really love having the travel system. It's so easy to put her it he carseat and go for a walk. Overall I really like this product, but being a first time mom I also have nothing else to compare it to.

I picked this one because I liked the colors and the stroller seemed compact when folded up to fit in my hatchback better than others and the carseat also seemed lighter than some of the others I tried out. I do wish the carseat was a little more roomier for the baby but overall I'm very happy with this travelsystem.

Easy to Assemble
Love the pattern
Absolutely love the single hand closure strap!!! Car seat is very lightweight. I can't wait for my little one to get here so she can enjoy it as much as I do!!

Overall, I do love this. My baby is still young so we still use the carrier. My one complaint is it is very difficult to get the belts that strap her in to lock; this can be a problem b/c she gets annoyed if it takes me longer than a few attempts to get them to latch. Other than that, I love it. The fast-action fold is awesome. I never struggle with that part of it.

I've used this car seat for a little over 10 months and everything was fine until the last week or 2. The initial setup and assembly of the stroller was pretty easy except the back wheels of the stroller with the pin. But I could handle that. Use was fine. She fit good until she got old enough to figure out she didn't have to be in when we went to the store. I realized that when I put the car seat in the base it doesnt latch all the way. I have to pull up on the base to get a secure latch which was also fine I could live with it. Now more recently I had to buy a new car seat because the red button that opens the harness gets stuck and I cannot get her out. I have to wiggle it and play with it to get it own usually taking me 5-10 minutes. Luckily baby stays calm for the most part but it is really annoying and I'm afraid I'll have to cut her out before the new one comes. I would still recommend this in hope you don't have the same problem. She was almost due for a new seat anyway just hoped to get a few more months out of it

I haven't used the stroller / car seat as of yet, but this is what I've observed so far (Warning: My reviews are pretty lengthy, but I try to be thorough).
-Assembly was extremely easy except for the back wheels. There's a pin you have to insert to keep the wheel in place and that was really tedious, but not terribly difficult.
-The seat does not lay flat as the description says. I guess slightly angled is Graco's version of a fully reclining seat. Not that big a deal since I'd rather keep my newborn in the carseat anyway. It keeps her facing me, I can keep her fully covered, and it minimizes the chances of stranger's prying hands coming up to touch her.
-At first I thought the carseat and the stroller were a bit heavy, but honestly after messing around with each and a little bit of "practice" they didn't seem heavy at all. It was just a matter of getting used to it.
-The "mechanics" for reclining and raising the stroller seat were a bit unusual. You have to pull a string whereas I am accustomed to my sister's stroller in which the back clicks in place at different angles. It still seems secure, but I worry it might be a little difficult to do with a child laying down in the stroller. I'll have to come back for a follow-up review.
-It has a really spacious underbasket which is still accessible even when the seat is fully reclined unlike many other strollers I had seen.
-It has a fully removable snack tray for the child and cupholders for me which I love.
-The stroller has a little screen on the canopy which you can cover/uncover to keep an eye on your little one.
-I can maneuver the stroller very easily with one hand which was a must for someone who multi-tasks as much as I do.
-The car seat locks into the stroller with the snack tray, but if you happen to be anywhere there are hills or walking at an incline it's not enough to secure it. But there are some pretty nifty straps on the sides of the stroller which you can use to further secure the carseat in place.
-The stroller takes up exactly half of my trunk in my Nissan Sentra which is perfect. The removable snack tray also helps make better use of the space.
-Both the stroller & the carseat have the ability to adjust the height of the shoulder straps as your baby grows. The carseat also has the ability to adjust the placement of the strap between the baby's legs.
-Everything seemed to click into place really easily. I only had some trouble getting the carseat to lock into the stroller, but I figure once the baby is in there the added weight should help with that. I'll follow up on that as well.

So technically I haven't used this yet as I'm due in 3 weeks, but I am still in love with it. Assembly wasn't difficult and I love the base for the carseat. This way my mom can just purchase a base for her car and we can click in our carseat when she wants to take the little one for a grandma day. The stroller is very easy to fold and when you unfold it's very sturdy. Though we'll have to get a new carseat in about a year, this purchase was still worth it to us since the stroller will be used longer (plus it was a gift). Our next task - teaching the dog not to bit at the wheels on walks.

Initially I was concerned about purchasing this travel system after reading some of the reviews. Some people said it was inconvenient with their height~I'm 5'8 and my husband is 6'3 and we had no problems with the stroller. Some people commented about the weight of the stroller and complications with placing the car seat in the base~I have an extremely bad back and knees, a problem with my shoulders and carpel tunnel~I had no problems lifting the stroller to place it in my car nor did I have any problems with placing the car seat in the base, releasing it, nor removing it. I became a first time mommy at 45, my daughter is now 8 months old and I am extremely satisfied with this travel system

At first, I noticed the buckle was extremely difficult to use, but I tolerated this. I even bought the matching diaper bag. Baby started to cry whenever she was in the car seat when she got to about 10 pounds. The buckle is placed so low that it is really sitting at the crotch and forcing pressure on the thighs. Baby was very uncomforable. They need to make the middle bottom belt longer and adjustable, or they need to make the buckle more narrow instead of a wide triangle that pushes into baby's thighs. We returned this. We never had this problem with other car seats we've had before so look around, there are better.
