I bought this for my third child because I loved all of the features. The pattern is lovely and the fabric is soft. I would have rated this 4.5 stars, but today, the car seat got stuck in the base while my 7 week old was in it! I was not home, and wrestled with it for several minutes with no release. My husband then tried to take it off but could not. I had not choice but to remove my sleeping daughter from the seat and place her in the stroller, even though she is still too small to sit in it. After we returned home, my husband removed the base (with the car seat still attached) and tried to separate them. After removing the cover from the car seat, the round plastic piece inside of the seat that turns to release the seat (from the base and the stroller)had come apart from another piece and was not turning. I was going to return and buy the same exact system, but after reading another review stating someone else had the same problem, I think I have to buy a different travel system. I am so sad, because I LOVED the design and features of this system.

I love this set! It is so super lightweight and easy to use. I love being able to pop the car seat on and off and I can fold up the frame and throw it into my car with one hand. Recovering from a c-section it was really important that I be able to have an easy option so I didnt have to carry her in the car seat in and out of my older kids school every day. Not to mention this is a beautiful print-I get compliments on it all the time. The only downside is that this is really pricey for a Graco product and the car seat should have been the higher end Click connect 40 car seat. Why have the high end stroller packaged with the second best car seat? They make you buy them separate which is almost $500!

I am a STM but it's been 8 years so I took my time researching on what travel systems these days are the best all around. I wanted a car seat that wasn't too heavy and a stroller that wasn't too heavy or hard to close and open. I also wanted storage underneath and at the same time this stroller needed to be tall enough for my 6'5 husband to push easily with out bending. This is my 2nd girl and last SO this time I wanted to go totally GIRLIE! I also didn't want it to be too dark of a color since we have heat and humidity just about all year round here.
WELL! I am in LOVE with this car seat stroller! I'm very petite, car seat is very easy to carry. Stroller is SUPER easy to put together AND has a million different options that will grow with your child! Husband has no problem pushing it and my big purse/diaper bag fits perfectly.
My husband laughed I played with this for an hour after he put it together. Also it took him less then 10 minutes to put together and me less then 10 minutes to figure out how to do all the different cool features! It's pretty and perfect with great bonuses!

I did a lot of research on strollers and just couldn't find one that was cute, had good reviews and was lightweight. We had already purchased a stroller before this one became available but we returned it after I watched the demo on this one. It took us about 10 minutes to set up couldn't be happier with it! Our little girl is not here yet, but I can't wait to use it. I am sure she will be just as happy with it as we are.

As a first time mom, I wanted the best stroller and car seat combo, regardless of price. I went to the Britax B-Ready and B-Agile Stroller right away and truly thought from day one I would end up with that combination. After comparing the travel systems in store, Graco won me over. This product is amazing. The ease of stowing the stroller blew my mind. It stands up on its own for pete's sake! Where as the Britax one you had to press a button on the side of the stroller and pull the handle in the toddler seat. Another flaw I found in the B-Ready/B-Agile system was when you wanted to take the infant carrier out of the stroller, you had to use both of your hands on either side of the carseat and unlatch it... not exactly the easiest of tasks to balance a carseat and try to get it out at the same time.
After feeling the difference in weight in the two infant carriers, I started to lean towards Graco. Then after my husband felt the padding and sturdiness of the two carseats, he preferred the Graco model.
Not only can the stroller transform into multiple positions, facing rear and forward, but it also has a large basket underneath (which is a huge plus when you go out!)
Don't hesitate to even go with the more expensive brands just because they're more spendy. Look at the quality of the products and really get to know them for your own preference.
I am beyond thrilled with our purchase and absolutely love the Francesca pattern! Gorgeous!
BUY IT! :)

I purchased this for my third child and have been using for a month now. Initially my husband and I thought we must be doing something wrong when we had to wrestle the seat from the base. I eventually removed the base from the car and tested inside while watching the process. The handle to release the carseat from the base would not move the connectors enough to allow for a clean release. I also had similar problems with the release for the stroller. This surely could have been a one time defect but I returned it immediately for a snugride 40.

I just had it delivered yesterday and I love it. Very simple to assemble, took me about 30 minutes. Played with it for a while to see if would be easy to use frame with car seat only and attaching the regular seat back on and its pretty easy just as the name click the pieces together. The colors are very girly! When folded it really isn't heavy to be lifting and putting it in and out of the car. I would definitely recommend this product.

I'm glad that I waited hoping that something better would come out at a reasonable price. I didnt realize that I was picky about a travel system. I realzied that i wanted a particular one and nothing fit my standards until this one. It was very easy to put together being 35 weeks pregnant. I went for my carseat inspection last weekend with it and it went well...We just had to tighten the seatbelt. I love that i wont be having to buy an additional stroller later on. A stroller should be able to convert and this converts to toddler stroller. I got it with the 20% off and so far it was worth it. I will give an update when my baby comes and i get to test it out other than inside the house. I gave it 4 stars because my baby isn't here yet.

I ordered this travel system on Sunday because it was on sale. I recieved it Tuesday morning. I am 36 weeks preg w/ baby #2. It took me about 45 min to put together. It is easy to set up. I love mostly everything about the stroller. I love the canopy, I love how you can change the carseat & the seat around, I love the big basket. My 4 y/o daughter said she can put her toys down there. I played with it for 30 min after setting it up. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I struggle getting the carseat on top of the seat so that it looked like a travel system. It did not easily click in & the kids tray kept falling off. I tried it over & over. So, what I ended up doing was taking the kids tray off & clicking the carseat on to the seat of the stroller, then attaching the kids tray. You need the kids tray on because the carseat also clicks on to the kids tray. Other than that complication the travel system is great. I absolutely love it. I knew I would like it from all the reviews & also watching reviews on YouTube. I highly recommend, I think it's a must have. I am very pleased with this travel system.

When I saw this I wanted it right away. Love the various options for switching the seat around. It is light weight and durable. Even my husband thinks its great.
