We used this snap and go frame with our Britax carseat/carrier. It was perfect, really light weight, easy to open and close. The basket is larger and easy to access than the other snap and go frames. I used this set up from birth till about six months. My son is taller than most 6 month olds. So he grew put of his infant carrier quicker than most. I would get recommend this item to every parent. Don't bother with the big full size strollers for the first 6 to 8 months.

I can't say enough about this stroller. I was looking for an alternative to a travel system because I wanted to save my money for a BOB jogging stroller. I needed something smaller for everyday outings that fit my infant car seat. So I started researching the infant car seat carriers and found that this is exactly what I was looking for.

It is lightweight, super-easy to fold up, and fits easily into my car (I have a CR-V but it also fits in the trunk of our Toyota Corolla easily). It has a smooth ride, and so far has been very durable (I've used it for 3 months). I use it everywhere, at the mall, grocery store, walking on bumpy sidewalks around the neighborhood, even jogging at the park. I only use if for jogging where there are smoothly paved trails because otherwise it is too bumpy, but its not a jogging stroller so I wouldn't expect it to be smooth on rough terrain. It also has outstanding maneuverability.

The best part of the Kolcraft infant car seat carrier versus other brands is the size of the basket. I can easily fit a stuffed diaper bag, a medium sized purse and another medium-sized bag in the basket. I even do my weekly grocery shopping with this stroller rather than a shopping cart! The other moms I know who have other brand infant car seat carriers are jealous of all the space in the basket of my Kolcraft!

I use it with the Graco Snugride car seat (original, not the 35).

The only assembly required is putting the wheels on, which my husband did in about 5 minutes.

The one thing I didn't really like about this carrier when it first arrived is that the car seat does not "lock in" to the stroller. Instead it sits on top and is held down with a buckled strap. This made me nervous at first that it was not secure enough, but I decided to give it a try anyway. After using the stroller, I don't see this as a problem any more. Not once have I felt that the car seat would tip over or fall off. And I even feel comfortable going up and over curbs with it.

I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone! It is worth the extra expense. But you can always use your 20% off coupon or find it cheaper at other retailers.

This stroller is lightweight, sets up easily, and moves around very smoothly. Unfortunately, my Graco SnugRide 32 doesn't fit well in it. The instructions say it is compatible with the SnugRide, but I think they must mean the smaller SnugRide 22. The car seat sits at such a steep angle that my little girl would be sitting upright, which isn't good for an infant. I am going to exchange it for the SnugRider Stroller, which I don't think is as nice but at least holds my car seat in the correct position. I gave it 4 stars because it does seem to be a great product- just not with this car seat. I would recommend it to anyone who has a car seat that actually fits securely.

This is not what I expected. I was looking for something smaller than my travel system to use when I took public transportation. Despite some of the reviews the Chicco Key Fit does not fit securely in this carrier. And it seems to be just as big as my stroller for the travel system. It was easy to use, just not what I needed. I would recommend that you look at the list of car seats that fit with this stroller, before purchasing. I gave mine away.

I got the real expensive stroller and i never use it. My brother inlaw bought us this stroller and we love it i can put the car seat on top and it folds so easy it super light weight. i had a c-section and it was light enough for me to pick up and put in car right after. We live in an apartment and have dogs so i go on 2 or 3 walks a day and its so easy to pull and push around on walks also theres lots of room for storage. greatest invention for the price!

I waited a long time to review this product because when I bought it there were only 2 reviews and I wanted to add one that had some experience behind it. I've been using this stroller with my Graco carseat for almost 8 months. I walk my baby girl about 10-15 miles a week in our neighborhood in it, and our sidewalks are 40 years old. We go across grass, gravel, sticks, everything. Also it goes to the sitter's house three days a week. (I have a RAV4 but it also fits fine in the trunk of my husband's Civic.) It's been durable, a great stroller. I registered for a travel system and then deleted it from my registry and got this instead after reading reviews of the Graco version that said it was so much more convenient. I thought, I won't usually have my husband around when I'm using a stroller so I want the lightest, most convenient thing, and I'm SO glad I got this instead. It really does open and fold with one hand. The basket on this fixed the accessibility problem on the Graco at a lower price--I can pile it high and get anything out without messing with the seat. My only problem is the cupholder is too big to hold a standard bottle--a Dasani bottle topples over with any real bumps. But just a tip, a SOBE Lifewater bottle is exactly the diameter of the holder and will stay put no matter what bumps you go over. After almost 8 months of heavy use I'm a huge fan.

I just got this the other day from a friend---and it works SO WELL! I was a little worried that it wouldn't be as "universal" as they claim it is, but my eddie bauer infant car seat clicks right into place! And the one hand fold makes it incredibly easy to use! Plus it weighs next to nothing (and I'm only 5'2, 105lbs, so if I can carry it, anyone can!) It is so much better than the bulky suv type stroller I had before! And the parent tray and the one that came on the front of mine are such a wonderful bonus! I Love it!!! I wish I they had these when my oldest was a baby, it would have made my life so much easier!

I love this carrier!!! It's easy to assemble. It only has 4 or 5 parts that snap into place you don't even need a screwdriver. It does everything it's supposed to very easily. It's lightweight and easy to handle. You won't have to lug a heavy car seat around and a diaper bag. It holds everything so your hands are free. It has a huge easily accessible basket that you can reach while the car seat is in place. Some other models have baksets under the car seat and you have to remove the seat to get at the basket.This one is perfect. It's the best baby product I own..and it really does fold up with one hand.[...]
