Baby Trend Venture LX Travel System Stroller - Monkey Around

Comments about Baby Trend Venture LX Travel System Stroller - Monkey Around:

For the most part, I've really liked this system. I feel like my child is safe in it which is most imortant. She is now almost 15 months old and is still using it though I will probably switch to a convertable carseat soon and save this one for our next child. It looks good and the stoller has been good too. I feel like it was kind of hard installing the car seat base but I think that is true for all car seats because in order to get them tight, you have to work at them. Also, when my girl was a newborn, it didn't lean back far enough to keep her head back against the seat but that was only for a little while and I just used a blanket to support her head more. The straps seem to be a little tight around her neck. Maybe it is suppose to be this way for safety, I don't know but it seems like they could be just a smidge farther apart from each other. Sometimes I get really frustrated with the straps. Every once in a while, when I try to adjust them, one side will pull tight and the other wont. I have to take her out of the carseat and pull the seat belts all the way through and adjust them and get them alligned again before it will work properly. This has only happened a few times but it is very inconvient when it does happen. Overall, I have liked this car seat but it is not perfect.

Overall this product is pretty good. Stroller is cute and easy to maneuver. Love the harness straps instead of just a lap strap, for those little ones that wiggle their way out of seatbelts. The only problem I had was that if u have a big/fast growing baby like my son, they will outgrow the car seat carrier pretty quick. We stopped using it around 5-6months old because he was to heavy, no room in the car seat and my baby feet & head was starting to hang out of the carrier. He's currently in a toddler car seat at 8 months old 28lbs.

We bought this product knowing we were having a baby boy, but figuring that if we ever had a second child (boy or girl) we could use it for them too because it is neutral. There is NO way this system would last through two children.

This product was AWESOME when our son was first born, right up until about 5 months old. Suddenly the car seat itself seems too small, and it actually gets STUCK in the car seat base & stroller. (Pain in the butt!) ... Our son is a chunker and when he sits in the stroller (whether it be in the stroller itself or car seat locked into the stroller) the back does not stay upright. The harness in the stroller is made with thin straps that are uncomfortable for my little man. And the wheels/stroller is not as smooth as it was when we first got it. The front wheels don't turn well and we struggle to get around in stores with tight corners / isles.

...While the price was decent, and the pattern is very cute for a neutral color, I think next time we'll look into other options.

Like every other Mom, a big part of what I focused on when looking for a carseat were the features and the print. Yes, of course, it's safe-it's a carseat and I read the safety points... but like most people did the, "but an accident won't happen to me". But it did.

We were T-boned, into the door that my nine month old son's carseat was beside. When we were able to get to him and out of his carseat, he was shaken up but OK. He has a small red mark where the strapes held him in place, but he's fine. The carseat did everything it was supposed to do. It kept his neck and head safe, and kept him from getting bounced around.

The carseat does what it's made to do and does it beautifully. I couldn't as for it to do anything more than it did. I am extremely happy we picked this carseat and travel system.

Always loved the print, but now I can appreciate how well it can do it's job when it has to.

I would recommend it and will buy as a gift when possible. 5 stars all the way.

I used this travel system with my daughter who is 17 months now. The straps on the car seat keep on getting twisted & I had to take it almost all apart to get them untwisted. As for the stroller itself she didn't like it because she keep on slipping down and couldn't get comfortable. Will not be using this for my next child

This system seemed GREAT at first. It is an adorable set, great for parents looking for something neutral colored. We have been using it now for 7 months and will be replacing it soon. The front wheels are not working as well as they used to (not smooth/have trouble turning). As soon as our child reached 15 lbs. the back of the seat started to struggle with staying upright. And while it is fairly light, we are now having a hard time getting it to fold up easily.

My son was 3 wks early, this was a little big for him but I just bought a snug cushion insert and it worked fine.

The carseat was easy to hook and unhook from the stoller and base.

I never read the manual so it took me a minute to learn how to adjust the carseat base b/c my son keep leaning forward in the car and in the stroller but once I figured it out best thing ever.

I truly love this stroller and would recomment it to anyone.

Only two cons that I have are sometime folding it can be a pain b/c the wheels turn so I would have to pull the stoller back out and refold or just adjust the wheel so it will close all the way.

Also the basket underneath is large but with my large diaper bag it can be a pain to get it in and out. But if I'm not carrying the big bag it is perfect.

This Stoller/ Car seat unit was fantastic. I found it to be very convienent and was amazed that it has yet to recieve more recognition. I would highly recomend this to any parent who is on the go alot and pushed for time.

I purchased this system for my son because his theme was Monkeys and Lions and I loved the monkey on this set. It's bulky but I expected that. I had a time trying to open the stroller from time to time but my husband had to show me how to open it and after that I had no problems. I loved the cup holder and it had a spot for my keys. LOVED IT!!
