 "Not The Best But Does The Job" 2010-05-19

I think this is a great travel system, especially for the price, but it definitely has it's flaws.

PROS:
-lightweight
-great storage space
-comfortable for baby and for me to maneuver

CONS:
-sun shade on the car seat is useless, it barely covers baby at all
-although the car seat handle is comfy to carry it becomes a problem in the car. The handle is so large that I can't use the passenger seat of my car cause I have to move the seat up so far to make room for the handle. And I have an SUV - not a small car! The lady at the car seat safety place said this is one of the few car seats that still have the large handles that interfere with seats in the car and recommended to buy another one or put up with not being able to use my front seat.


 "A great workout... for the exhausted parent" 2009-02-15

We bought this for our first child on recommendation by someone for the nifty middle 'pistol' handle and cupholders. Our attraction was the cute animal print (evenflo aura elite 'oh so big', not this green job shown), cupholders, color and transverse childseat handle. After 9 months I've come to realize this thing is a beast by any measure. Bulky, heavy, and huge, this system is a space hog in every respect. It does turn on a dime and roll smoothly but at the same time requires a 747 ground crew to coordinate through any doorway or store entrance. I drive an SUV and this thing takes up half the trunk, where as the seat takes up most of the back seat area. The transverse handle on the child's seat is a great idea but the weight makes me look like a bricklayers helper ferrying a load of bricks up a skyscraper as I walk bent to one side trying to balance the enormous weight. The latches work great and easily lock the seat in the base or stroller but by the time you get the seat near you just want to drop it in place out of exhaustion. Getting the seat out of the car is always a bizarre, difficult maneuver- again, due to the weight. Another issue is the seat doesn't synch with shopping carts at all. That's a real pain. I never use the pistol grip and am miffed that it was recommended as a selling point. Aside from the cupholders I do have to give it credit for such a large storage space underneath but I would gladly trade that for a smaller, lighter stroller.

No baby seat is perfect and every parent has to decide which features appeal most. In my opinion light and compact win out over parent friendly features (e.g. cupholders, large storage space underneath, shock absorbers). Light and compact used to be a problem (I've always feared the umbrella strollers) but the newer umbrellas, while pricier, are also now very sturdy. If I could redo everything I probably would have bought a Combi travel system even with the complaints I've read about the car seat/base. As my baby is nearing 1 year and outgrowing the infant seat I'm currently looking to replace the stroller with the Combi Cosmo. I eagerly anticipate the difference in size, weight and portability. After the Combi's I'd consider the McClarens and Chicco's.

where do i begin. the car seat seat belts dont stay tight. they are easier to loosen than it is to tighten. once my son got to around 10-15 pounds the handle started to feel like it couldnt handle his weight. the stroller is HELL to get open and to close. you have to hold the release button and shake it and kick it and bang it to get it to finally pop open. its not an upright standing, you cant lean it on anything with out it scratching things as it falls over. sometimes the wheel locks up. its a pain to get through a doorway anywhere, you will look like an idiot knocking into things b/c the stroller is so wide. and the tray for the baby pops off way to easily and its sharp when it does come off. ive seen reviews that the backrest will break and the baby with fling back and possibly get whiplash. STAY AWAY FROM THIS HORRIBLE DEATH TRAP!!!!
