Love the system! Confused about other reviews.
Danee.4 years agoWe LOVE the travel system! It has been so easy to use! My sister and SIL both agree it is lighter, more compact and easier to use than their Graco travel systems. I am confused about other reviews of the car seat though. My daughter is almost 23 pounds and 32 inches long and still fits in the car seat (her feet stick out but her head does not). I am wondering if other reviewers haven't removed the newborn pad or moved headrest up? We also love that the pad for head isn't removable. It keeps hers from moving from side to side. It also seems very comfortable for her...we make 4.5 hour drives frequently to visit my family and she always seems comfortable (usually sleeps a good portion of trip). Would highly recommend travel system to others!

DO NOT BUY! Car seat won’t last past 25 inches!
Jordan C.4 years agoThis car seat worked until my baby was 5 months old. I was told that the headrest was removed as most normal car seats are. But it is not! The car seat states that it can hold up to 35lbs but no baby over 16lbs or 25inches long could ever sit in the car seat! The head rest will squish the babies head and will be so uncomfortable. My family and I bought three extra bases and now have wasted over $1000 on baby Jogger products due to this poor design of a car seat. The travel system seems like a great idea but there is no way possible baby could grow with this product and she will not fit in it after today. Also the car seat is so hot! Often I take my baby out of the car seat and she is sweating so bad. I have to drive with the AC on constantly to try and keep it comfortable for her but she still is so hot in the car seat. Other reviews say you can adjust the headrest which is true but you can only push it up so far until the next baby’s shoulders are so uncomfortably jammed under the headrest.

Smooth as Butta
The City Mini GT2 Travel System is an elite product. The upgraded fabrics and materials make this travel system worth its’s price. The easy RAPID LOCK install is something of a dream and will make life easier for Mom’s and Dad’s of all kinds. My two little ones enjoyed riding in the stroller. My oldest didn’t want to get out and kept requesting to ride in it instead of walking. My favorite part of this travel system is the forever air rubber tires and all-wheel suspension of the The Baby Jogger city mini GT2 Stroller. We live on acreage and need a stroller that can be used around the property on all kinds of terrain. This stroller definitely handles it all! We have another jogging stroller from another brand, but the Baby Jogger Citi Mini surpasses the agility of the other name brand stroller with ease. You can easily push the City Mini stroller with one hand through any terrain including rock, grass, and mulched areas with little to no effort. I also absolutely LOVE the big canopy on the stroller that covers A LOT of my little one. I was highly impressed with the how extremely soft and padded the car seat was. What Mom or Dad wouldn’t want to put their sleeping baby in this car seat. The only things I would like to see worked on for the next model, but wouldn’t deter me from purchasing or recommending this travel system, would be the mechanism to lay the back of the stroller down, the access to the storage basket under the stroller, and the easy of adjusting the head rest on the car seat. But let me tell you, to list all the awesome things about this Travel System would make a novel and you busy parents don’t have time for that with all the books you are already reading your little ones. Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me the opportunity to show off the City Mini GT2 Travel System and recommend it to other Moms and Dads. My last wish is for Baby Jogger to make a double stroller with the same all terrain abilities as this stroller and my baby product needs would be complete!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as part of the stellar product testing panel. I wish that I had been able to get it with my first child, because it has done wonders for me with child #2. The car seat is easy to install, and it can be used with or without the base which is great when she needs to go in someone else's car. The car seat easily clicks into the stroller base, and the stroller folds up easier than any others I've had. It's always such a hassle to fold and store a stroller, but I found this one to be the easiest of all those I've tried. It's less bulky than other strollers I've used and it also glides nicer over bumps on the sidewalk. I personally think my daughter liked it better too! I feel like she appeared more comfortable and her head bounced around less in this stroller than in the one I was previously using. I highly recommend this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mother of three, ages 5, 3, and 1 month, the City Mini GT2 Travel System is designed so thoughtfully for on-the-go parents. First, it looks sleek, and stylish, even when the car seat is attached to the stroller. It looks seamless, and all goes together so well. Second, it is functional. The one handed fold is so simple to use, and it locks in place automatically. This is the easiest stroller to fold of the many strollers I have used or tried. The basket underneath is sturdy and can hold multiple items, and the seat-lift function makes the underneath basket easy to access. The car seat slight weight, and yet my child is secure, and comfortable, and the car seat was easy to clip into a cab on the go, or in my car clicked into the base. The infant insert supported my child upright, and he had no head wobbles. That is an amazing feat for my child! I love how easy the car seat attaches to the stroller, and I loved how I can fully cover my child up for nap with both the stroller shade and the car seat shade. The stroller is easy to push, has an adjustable handlebar so it fits my husband, me, and even my oldest child can adjust it for her to help push! I am a big fan all around of this City Mini GT2 Travel System, and I love the Jet Fashion (looks all black) color. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The City Mini GT2 Travel System is perfect for our family. We have owned 3 different travel systems over the last 5 years and this is by far our favorite. The stroller is lightweight and so easy to fold. I'm able to fold and load it into the back of my van with one hand while holding the car seat in the other. It also folds up very compact and is extremely easy to maneuver. It works great for our older daughter as well who is still within the weight limit and loves to ride in it when the baby is not with us. The reclining footrest is one of her favorite features. The infant seat is also very lightweight and a breeze to use with the stroller. One of our favorite features by far is the ability to safely and easily put it into the car without the base. This makes riding with the grandparents so easy and convenient. Overall we are delighted to have received the opportunity to test and own this travel system, thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel.
Originally posted on babyjogger.comOverall great travel system
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a fan of the overall design City Mini GT Travel system. A few aspects that were different from other strollers and make this one unique are the easy pull to fold handle, the ability for the seat to recline all the way, the three wheels, and the adjustable handlebar. Some things that I didn't love in regards to the design were the brake near the handlebar (not by the foot, just something you have to get used to) and the fact that it's difficult to put a diaper bag in the bottom storage area because there is a bar there. Installing the travel system car seat in the stroller and car were seamless. Folding the stroller with the pull handle was super easy and self explanatory. Opening it back up was also easy, but I did need to look at the manual to figure out how to unlock it and reopen it. My favorite feature is the easy to manipulate three wheels. It makes taking sharp turns easy. Another great feature is the larger sun shield with two peek-a-boo windows. I have a four month old and when taking walks in the summer, I'm always making sure he's covered from the sun and the large adjustable sun shield is perfect for that. I was given this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

The City Mini GT2 Travel System is wonderful! The box seemed a little intimidating because of the size and weight of it, but once I got the already assembled car seat out of the box, I could tell right away that it was high quality and would be very safe - I was sold! The stroller was very easy to put together and even easier to fold and unfold. We received the color "Jet Fashion" and the sleek black and gray design is very luxurious. There are so many great features on both the stroller and car seat. One of the main reasons I was excited to try the car seat was because it can be used with or without the base, making it very easy to travel with. I was able to take it in and out of my car with ease, as well as put it in my husbands jeep and my parents van. Our previous car seat I had to go to a fire station to get installed so this was great! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because my baby is 4 months old and 18 pounds and a big boy and he doesn't seem to be the biggest fan of the car seat but I think he just needs to get used to it. It seems a little more constricted than the old car seat we were using but I also feel like the City Mini GT2 car seat is much more safe. I absolutely LOVE the stroller. It maneuvers corners and bumps so well. In the past, my stroller would get stuck when going over doorways but not anymore! The stroller also has a large canopy to block out the sun (my little guy starts crying immediately when the sun is in his eyes) and it has magnetic flaps to peek in at your child so it isn't at all noisy and won't wake them up. It folds and unfolds with just one hand and is almost flat when it's folded so it's easy to store. I received this travel system to review from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and can't thank them enough. I will definitely be recommending this to other parents!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this travel system from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and I think it has nearly all the features a new parent needs for that first year of carting around a baby. I am only two weeks away from having my third little one so I know what’s necessary and what are nice to haves in a car seat and stroller and this travel system has plenty of both. Car seat: First, the infant car seat is stylish, but not too bulky like some. And unless you have a tall/long baby, the seat should last up to a year. My newborn didn’t make it here in time for a review, but I tried out the restraints with my daughters doll and I found securing them, tightening and loosening them to be not a problem. The no re-thread harness is also good as those little ones grow quickly! I installed the base with the LATCH system in my minivan, and it wasn’t difficult (besides doing it while 35 weeks pregnant!). It felt very secure and easy to pop the seat in and out of the base. I also tried the seatbelt install without the base. It took me a couple tries, but I did get it so I can see how this is a convenient option while traveling though I’ll likely just use the base in my car. Stroller: This is my first City Mini stroller, and I can see why moms like them so much. They are compact but have an extremely smooth ride like a full size stroller. The recline option and foot rest will be good for on the go naps. It’s super easy to fold and unfold the stroller. My favorite part is the hand brake. Where have you been all my life!? I can see us using this stroller until baby girl is at the weight limit! Obviously, I think this this a great travel system. The only cons to consider are that the car seat does not just pop into the stroller as I assumed it would. It requires adapters which come with the system. It seems like at this price point and because they are the same brand, they should be totally compatible, no adapters required.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The City Mini GT2 Stroller is lightweight, modern and the all black features make it very sleek. It is really easy to maneuver we’ve taken it over gravel and bumpy terrain and the air-filled tires make it a really smooth ride for my kids. I live in Texas and the sun here is brutal so the fact that this stroller has a huge extended canopy is a major plus and the double peekaboo windows on the canopy make it easy to check in on my son while we’re on the go. My favorite feature is the one handed fold it’s AMAZING and so easy you just pull up on the handle and it folds in on itself in seconds, and unfolds just as easy too!! My older sons favorite feature is the pop-up leg rest he loves that he can stretch his legs out on long rides it’s a GAME CHANGER for kids ! I’ve had quite a few strollers and this is by far the best one we’ve ever owned. The padded seat is very soft and comfortable , The canopy is one of the largest I’ve seen on a stroller before, The storage basket is easily accessible through the back and you can also access it through the pop-up leg rest in the front . The City Go 2 Car Seat in this travel system is so sleek and soft I’ve had multiple people come up to me and ask me what kind it is. This car seat has a weight range from 4-35 pounds and up to 32 inches, My youngest son was just born, he is a preemie and just now weighs alittle over 5 pounds and this car seat comes with a super plush newborn insert with raised sides on the headrest that keeps his head from rolling around so I know he’s really comfortable and safe in this seat. I love that it can be installed with and without the base so I can use this seat when traveling or just switching between cars without having to carry around the base we tried installing it both ways and we got a secure fit both times and each way only took a few minutes to install . This car seat like the stroller also comes with a huge quiet canopy that provides a lot of sun coverage and spf 50! The travel system comes with the adapters to click this car seat into the stroller and it’s super effortless you just slide them into the slots on the sides of the stroller and the seat clicks right in. BY FAR my FAVORITE feature on this car seat is the no re-thread harness it’s easy to adjust to get a perfect fit and I’m not constantly having to take the seat apart to adjust everytime my child grows an inch, you just flip the seat over push the gray buttons in, slide the lever up and you’re done so easy and effortless! I love this travel system so much and know it will last us a long time 10/10 for design, comfort, quality and safety ! Thank you Stellar Product Testimg Panel for sending me this travel system to test out my boys love it!
Originally posted on babyjogger.comSome Wow! Pros (with a few minor cons)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are several features I like about the City Mini GT2 Travel System. As a mom of a 2-year-old and 4-month-old, this is not my first stroll around the block, you could say. I’ve used other travel systems before, and the City Mini GT2 Travel System has some big pros (and a few cons) in comparison. Setup for both the stroller and car seat was very simple with illustrated instructions to lead you through the process. For use, the stroller is fairly lightweight and very easy to maneuver, especially compared to its 4-wheeled counterparts. One-handed folding was incredibly easy. When collapsed, it doesn’t take up much space, though it does not stand upright on its own. I have to lean it against something, but I didn’t find that problematic. The car seat easily fits over the seat, so I don’t need to remove and store extra pieces. The 2 magnetic parent “windows” allow me to see my child whether I have the hood only partially or fully open. Speaking of the hood, wow! The amount of coverage you get really shields a lot of the sun and rain! The car seat has that same great hood coverage, and it’s QUIET! I never realized how important that was until I tried to raise the hood of our previous car seat while baby was sleeping, only to have the loud click-click wake her up! With this car seat, she peacefully sleeps against the comfortably padded cushions as I move her from here to there. My biggest downside of the car seat is that it’s a little heavier than my previous one. On one hand, baby can fit into it longer and it offers solid protection. On the other hand (or arm, rather), I have to carry a grown baby in a heavier car seat. But I consider it a good arm workout, so it’s not a deal breaker. What makes up for it and is worth its WEIGHT in gold? The super easy, super quick car installation, with or without the base. If you’ve ever wrestled with installing a car seat base, trying to contort your body in a small space while doing a tug-of-war with a seat belt, you understand how wonderful this feature is. The car seat base tethers took me a matter of seconds to install. Even without tethers, installation was quick. I also like that I can quickly secure the car seat in any vehicle without the base. Overall, I believe the pros outweighs the cons for this travel system, and I’d recommend it to new moms. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system.
Originally posted on babyjogger.comExcellent and Stylish Travel System
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this travel system as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Overall, I really love this carseat and stroller. It has a lot of handy features and is very stylish. It looks and feels high end. My favorite part of the stroller is the hand brake to lock the wheels. I live in Hawaii so am always in sandals and it is painful to try to lock and unlock the wheels on my other stroller with my feet. The hand brake is so convenient. I also love that you can adjust the height/position of the stroller handlebar and the footrest for the toddler seat. Very cool! The stroller is easy to fold but it is a little wider than my current stroller, which I already thought was pretty wide. The carseat seems super comfy and has an easily adjustable headrest. It is easy to install in the car with latch and with the seatbelt (has a cool clamp on the base to hold the belt in place). The latch belt stowaway case on the base is very handy as the straps on another seat I have are always in the way. The carseat was easy to snap in the stroller once I found the right position and I love how I don't have to remove the toddler seat to put the carseat in like with my other stroller. I wish there was a way to connect the umbrella of the stroller with that of the carseat so baby can be fully covered, but I like how much coverage the stroller umbrella gives in general. And the roll up vent and window flaps are a cool feature. The wheels on the stroller rolled very smoothly and the shock absorbers were a good idea. All in all, this is my new favorite stroller/carseat for its stylish, high end look and feel and all of the cool, handy features!
Originally posted on babyjogger.comA dream to use and beautiful to look at!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon opening and easily unfolding the Baby Jogger city mini GT2 stroller, I was immediately impressed with the sleek and timeless look of the black stroller and infant car seat. I still am not over how beautiful it looks!! I immediately tested the stroller in my garage and then shortly after to toot around while shopping. I noticed how incredibly agile the stroller is, and how easy it is to use with one hand. One of my twin boys was in a carrier on my chest, and I was still able to move the stroller around using one hand with ease. The handle can be moved up and down to your own preference, and I was able to hold onto the side of the handle to walk alongside the stroller and still the stroller was easily maneuvered. The hand brake is located just below the side of the handle and has a safety feature to ensure there is not an accidental engagement while walking. To engage the brake, you squeeze tabs on both sides of the brake mechanism before you flip the “switch like” piece up or down. For baby and bigger kiddos comfort, the shock absorber feature on the wheels enable a smooth ride as you walk on surfaces that may not be smooth. The large canopies block out the light for naps too. For mommy’s and daddy’s convenience to check on babies, just lift up the flap to check on kiddo thorough the clear windows. You can quickly secure the flap closed by a magnet inside the material preventing accidental movement letting in unwanted light; or you can roll up the flap and use the toggle and elastic securing feature. There are two flaps on the stroller canopy as there is a wide range of coverage on the canopy. You can open one section of the canopy for minimal coverage, or fully extend the canopies three sections for maximum coverage. I also loved the big comfy foam feel of the padded newborn insert for the infant car seat. For parents’ convenience, transport is made easy with the quick release button that allows you to easily insert or pull out the wheels, which may be helpful for cars that have small trunk space. Folding the stroller was a breeze too. Also the rapid lock on the infant car seat base enables you to quickly install the base in a car, and then cinch down the mechanism on the belt to ensure a quick but safe install. This is a great feature for grandparents that want to take the kiddo for the day but also have errands to run and need to snap the car seat in and out of the base. If you use a taxi or want a quick install without the base, there is a blue piece on the back of the seat where you can secure the seat belt for safety. Added bonus is the storage on the bottom that you can easily access by lifting the panel on the front (where the kiddos legs rest) and you can easily access items on the front which are usually buried and too much trouble to reach. You can also snap the panel in the up position and then recline the back so kiddos are in an almost flat resting position for a nap, or it makes for easier diaper changing. Speaking of easier, I didn’t expect to not have to re-thread the harness straps when using the car seat with different kiddos. There is a button that allows you to quickly and easily change the position of the straps for different heights of kiddos. The versatility of this stroller enables use of an infant seat by using the adapters. Just click the adapters into the sides of the stroller and then click the infant seat in to secure. The only con is small. The harness on the stroller is not the easiest to get to for changing positions. Thank you to Stellar Parent Panel for giving me the Baby Jogger city mini GT2 to test and review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are looking for a sleek, well-appointed, and luxurious travel system for you and your little one, look no further than the City Mini GT2 Travel System. City Mini’s GT stroller has always been a favorite of moms looking for a high-quality smooth ride and this new GT2 model continues to deliver. Starting with the car seat, the ability to use this car seat with and without the base is a key feature. Sometimes, due to work obligations, I am not able to pick up my little one from daycare, and someone else needs to help out; it is astonishing that I do not have a provide a base for everyone and I can still trust that my baby is safe in their car seat. Also, if we are out and about and want to take a taxi or rideshare, it is so quick to bring the baby along with no additional hassle or thought necessary. Overall, the baby appears comfortable, as well as solid and secure when installed with the base or the alternative belt method. This system is remarkable due to the ease of transfer from the car to the stroller. It is such a lifesaver to not have to worry about waking the baby when bringing them out from the car; the car seat effortlessly clicks into the stroller and we are ready to go! The City Mini GT stroller is by far the favorite amongst my mommy friends. The new City Mini GT2 stroller is easy to use, in fact, I would even go so far to say it is fun! Not only is it a sleek and luxurious looking stroller, but it also handles beautifully. With a 1-hand folding mechanism, it is simple to open and close which is so crucial when navigating life with the new baby. Being a suburban mom, I take this stroller in and out of the car frequently to do errands. I cannot tell you how many times I have been stuck standing in parking lots for 10 minutes, just trying to figure out how to open or close other strollers I have had. This has never been an issue with the City Mini GT2, and I can lift it in and out of my SUV trunk with ease. A new feature on the City Mini GT2 is the adjustable leg rest, this has made me the envy of all of my friends with older models! The only thing I would change about this stroller, is I wish the underneath storage was a bit bigger and more easily accessible. Yet, overall this stroller is incredible, it could easily be the only stroller you need to own. I know we will be solely using this stroller until our daughter no longer requires one. I would highly recommend this travel system to anyone! I received the product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel!

Originally posted on babyjogger.comAll in one GREAT stroller! Love the new features!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did received the product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel however I loved the overall design and look of the new City Mini GT2 Stroller. I felt it was sleek, and sophisticated and it did not feel overly bulky. I am familiar a bit with the Baby jogger products from using some in passing before and I have to say the new stroller feels like a great improvement on the old model. The stroller and car seat travel system was easy to use and install. I had to transport a full car load of 2 kiddos and a dog in my SUV which resulted in me having to pack up the stroller and fit it along with everything else and it was great to be able to use the one hand fold feature. It fit easily in my SUV as well and I didn't feel overwhelmed with packing it up and making sure everything fit. The car seat snaps in easily with the stroller but the only downside was I felt like the attachments to use with the car seat went a little too much into the seat if you were switching between using it with the car seat and then without with an slightly older kiddo. If you are looking for a stroller that does it all, but is smaller than some of the travel systems on the market I highly suggest this one. I would travel with this in the future no problem solo or not. I love the new feature on this model stroller with the leg stand coming up, it also makes it easier to place things inside the lower basket. The basket is smaller than others, but I was not affected by that as much as I thought I would have been.

I was given this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. First impressions, it's stylish, sleek, compact, durable, and luxurious. The handle bars on both the stroller and car seat are a nice rubbery grippy material that feels durable. The car seat has plush padding making it super comfortable for your little one and the contrast between its black and grey fabric give it a stylish look. My little one seemed very happy and content when using it. It is easy to install with or without a base. The option to install without a base makes it a great option for vacations or use in a grandparent's car! It attaches effortlessly to the stroller with two adaptors that simply slide and click in to the stroller frame. So, if your little one falls asleep in the car on your way to run errands no need to wake them to transfer them in to the stroller, you can simply click the car seat right in - so essential! What I really love on both the carseat and stroller is the massive sun shade. It is wide and long providing great coverage. We live in Florida, so this is a must! I have several other strollers and carseats and this is the best sun shade I have seen yet! Now to the stroller, it is substantial yet compact. The one hand fold is amazing and so simple - I was able to do it while baby wearing my infant. There's nothing worst than wrestling with a stroller to fold, so happy I won't have to worry about that with the City Mini GT2. Once folded, it is pretty small making it a great option for traveling or if you you need extra space in your trunk for groceries, etc. It unfolds easily too. You don't have to awkwardly grab the stroller or unlatch it, you simply pull the handlebars and it pops back up. All the components on the stroller feel sturdy and durable. There are multiple features which allow you to customize the seat to provide your child with optimal comfort these include: adjustable straps, options of recline/incline, and a pop up foot rest. I particularly like the foot rest, I own another stroller similar in design and it does not include this option. The harness is easy to put on and click into place. My toddler appeared very comfortable while riding in the stroller and had ample room for himself and some toys, always important! I love the double peekaboo windows, allowing me to easily check on my child and for him to see me too. The stroller is easy to maneuver and provides a smooth ride. The hand operated brake is a great feature. I like that I don't have to step on it as I've dealt with foot brakes jamming in the past. It is easy to use and makes it simple to control starting and stropping the stroller. A few suggestions on how it could be improved upon. The padding on the shoulder straps on the carseat were pretty thin. It would be great if these could be a little thicker and plusher. The storage basket underneath the stroller was adequate but not huge by any means. A bigger basket would be awesome. Finally, if I only had one child this travel system would be amazing, but with two it's not ideal as only one can use the stroller at a time. Modifications to adapt the stroller to carry both an infant and toddler would make this an amazing option for families with two kids. Lastly, we are in the middle of a move so I haven't been able to fully part this travel system through its paces, but I look forward to using it more and leaving an updated review in a few months.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried a lot of carseats and strollers over my past 10 years of being a parent. I have 5 kids from the age of 2 months to 10 years old and I love finding new baby gear that makes my life easier. I spend a lot of time researching products before making any purchases and reading reviews is one of the main ways I do this which is why I find it important to leave my own reviews after I have tried out a product and decided what I think about it. Overall I have been very impressed with this travel system. It was very easy to set up and be ready to use out of the box. The instructions were very clear, I especially appreciated that they not only had images to show how things worked but also had written instructions so there were no questions left after going over them. I love the look of both the carseat and stroller, they look very sleek especially in this black option. They also feel like they are solidly constructed, where I would often notice plastic parts on other brands of strollers these had nice metal parts that I feel will be much more durable and long lasting. The carseat was amazingly simple to install, when using the base I was able to quickly install it and it was perfectly tight on the first try with no adjusting. It's also very quick to install without the base so would be convenient if you have to switch cars from time to time or use a taxi system. The carseat can also very quickly snap into the stroller with the included adapters which makes getting baby from the car into the stroller a breeze! Another feature of the carseat that I absolutely love is the padding, it looks so comfortable and supportive for my little one and she seems very content in it. The stroller is by far the easiest to push that I have ever used. I can steer it with one hand with absolutely no effort which is huge for me as I typically end up carrying one of my other children while still needing to push the stroller! The adjustable handlebar is an added bonus especially because my husband is a foot taller than me so he can comfortably use the same stroller for our kids as I do. The basket is nice and roomy and is easily accessible from the back and the front of the stroller which is really cool! I also used the stroller with my older children that aren't in an infant carseat and they loved the comfort of it as well and it was still so easy to push even with my 4 year old in it. The only small complaint that I have about this stroller is that I wish it had a parent tray/cup holder so I would have somewhere to put my phone, keys, and maybe a drink but it's definitely not a deal breaker for me. My favorite feature of this travel system after using it is the one handed fold for the stroller. I can so easily while holding my infant or child grab the strap on the stroller and pull it which immediately folds the stroller up, very compactly I may add, so it is ready to put into my car and carry on with my day. I highly recommend this travel system to anyone looking for a safe and easy to use stroller and carseat that will last them for a very long time. Thank you to the Stellar Product Panel for giving me the opportunity to test out this amazing travel system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very impressed with this travel system! I was able to try it through the Stellar Product Parent Panel, but I would not hesitate to buy this stroller and car seat duo. I found the car seat easy to install, both with and without the base- which means this will be awesome on vacation. The car seat has a really nice sun shade that flips down. It can be used for up to 35 lb. rear facing, which is a long time for an infant car seat! The stroller looks sleek and stylish, and it’s awesome to maneuver. It’s easy to fold up with one hand, and it’s relatively light. I really like that it has hand brakes. My little guy is 3 months old, and he is happy as a clam with the car seat snapped into the stroller. He stays asleep the whole time he is in there whenever we are shopping or on a stroll. The tires do really well on all kinds of terrain, so he is able to stay asleep. I will definitely be recommending this travel system to all of the new mamas (and mamas to be) in my life.
