It is very cute and I love the stroller part, but my daughter is only 4 months weighs 13lbs. and it she's almost outgrown the car seat! I've started putting her winter suit on her and I can barely buckle the straps, I'm very disappointed that I won't be able to get more use out of the car seat. I do like the stroller though.

At first we loved the one hold handle, we loved the storage and the print.

My son grew out of the car seat at 4 months. We continued to use the stroller but, it doesn't recline a full 90 degrees and our son wanted to sit up while in the stroller. Also, the wheels started to bow out and squeak a lot. Another thing that I didn't realize until much later was when it closed half of the seat was on the bottom. This allows the baby's seat to get dirty. Finally, my son was able to pull the actual seat and himself lower than intended. The seat comes off for cleaning but he was able to move around.

I am a first time parent and didn't know what to look for. I hope this helps. Even though we loved it we really had to see what we would need with our child.

I will agree that this stroller is on the heavier side, however I feel it adds to the stability of the item. I have a very small car, 2 door, and although it took some practice, I can get the carseat in and out of my car with ease and it doesnt wake my child up at all. To comment to previous posts, I would imagine anything shrinks if you put it in the dryer. I washed my cover several times, and did put in the dryer on the de-wrinkle setting for a short period of time, but then hung it up to air dry the rest of the way, and it fit back on perfectly.

my husband and i had our minds set on a jogger travel system; we wanted something lightweight, smooth, and portable. we were having a hard time finding a good travel system, but this stroller fit everything we wanted and more. it was easy to set up (i did it myself 7 months pregnant) and it's a beautiful, soft material. it's a smooth ride, easy to fold and surprisingly compact for a full sized stroller with as much storage space as it has. we highly recommend this.

I am a first time parent and registered for this item after looking at it in the store and reading the reviews online. I was taking the good with the bad, but this was bad.
#1. The base is floppy. when you put the seat in it no matter how tight you pull it it still seems to move around.
#2. the visor on the car seat is to short and does nothing for the sun.
#3. The zig-zag handle works great for my husband because he is taller but makes it cumbersome for me to carry.
#4. Plan on getting a bigger car. We have to move the front seat every time we go in the car so we are able to put the handle down on the car seat. I have an SUV.
#5. The huge plastic advertisement on the buckle of the car seat digs in to my baby chest.
#6. The stroller is very hard to open.
#7. When the stroller is closed it does not stand up. So you have to lay it on the ground when you are getting it out of the car.
#8. The stroller is very large and I am always bumping into racks at the store waking my baby up!

I actually had to start using one of my sister's old car seats because this one is so annoying! I don't know who hates it more me or my 3 month old. I wish I listened to the warnings. Also try getting a car seat that can be use with or without a base.It's nice if you have 2 cars or travel.

I've had this stroller for 19mth and it has not been very durable.
-The wheels are wobbling and my son only weights 25lbs.
-The fabric tears very easily.
-The seatbelt doesn't adjust to my son's size.

we bought this thinking it was a great deal even after reading all the reviews. once we had the baby and put him in it in the car and in shopping carts, we knew exactlly why the reviews were bad. HE WAS FALLING FORWARD ALL THE TIME!!!! no joke. that is scary for a first time mom to look back and see her new born hunched over the seat belt.

The stroller was fantastic and well worth the money. I used the stroller from birth for my daughter. I used it every day, usually more than once per day for walks, in the house, mall, stores, in-out of the back of my truck. The stroller held up so well and we used it until my daughter was age 15 months and the stroller finally gave out! The wheels turn very smoothly, it is not too heavy, the overhead visor was very big and covered my baby well in sun & rain. The basket is large and accomodating. Seatbelt worked very easily, yet my daughter couldn't unbuckle it; very safe. Cupholders, wipe holder, accessory holder. We need to buy a new stroller and I will definitely get another Evenflo.

I have this travel system in a different print and have loved it so far. The carseat is easy to use and the stroller is easy to use also. The stroller is a bit bulky. My son is 2 mo. and 14lb. and I am afraid he won't be able to use the carseat for much longer! I wish I would have done more research and found a carseat that I could use for longer and would grow with my baby because he is a big boy! The headrest is a plus and was awesome for him as a newborn. And although I thought the Z shaped handle would be easier, it really is kinda awkward.
