WARNING about packaging
By Tim A.
I never write reviews and this is not a review of the item but yet a review of the item from Amazon, which when I received I went and read reviews to see if someone else ever had this experience. After ordering this item from Amazon NEW, I received the item in a damaged box that was a generic box and NOT the original packaging with both items stuffed in it, again not in the original packaging. Upon opening the box, the odor was so foul that I had to sit it outside to avoid affecting the rest of the house. When I contacted Amazon about returning it for a refund, I was told they would just send me another. I stressed my dissatisfaction with the representative (who was VERY responsive) and my concern over receiving a NEW item in generic packing again and he reassured me that the next item would be improved (after "researching" the issue) Just in driving the box to the post office to return it, my wife had to roll down the windows because the smell was nauseating. Interestingly, I received the replacement item (despite all my apprehensions) and it was in a brand new "travel system" box with each item in the box in new, separate, original Britax boxes. What happened the first time?


So this is a warning to others that purchase this item from Amazon. I assume this has something to do with the "365 day return" policy on a lot of baby items and maybe the smell is a result of sitting in a warehouse out of any type of box for a prolonged period of time following a return. They should not send these type of items out to consumers that buy a product that is listed as NEW. It is hard to believe that they would do this actually and I am quite appalled thinking about it because I am sure there has to be someone out there that accepts items like this otherwise they wouldn't try to pull this "fast one". Furthermore, I hate to think of anyone placing a newborn in a car seat with this strong of an odor of unknown origin. I do have to admit, Amazon's response was very prompt (free one day shipping) and very appropriate however I do not think they should have ever done this in the first place for an advertised new item. Just my two cents for anyone that receives this item and on receipt wonders "what in the world? is this really the box it comes in?" Otherwise, the system looks great and there is NO ODOR on the NEW system (makes me wonder if they previous odor reviews were on these returned/reboxed items). We are anxious to get to use it!! Good luck to everyone.

good looking and comfy travel system with a reasonable price tag
By Vedamata
We've been using this travel system for 10 months now and are very happy with it. It was one of the few travel systems that had a very good safety rating review and was not exorbitant; I decided to buy it for my first baby based on the safety reviews of the infant car seat and other reviews that indicated that it was a good looking travel system with good functional features. The colors are nice and neutral, goes well with a boy or a girl. our 10 month old baby is about to outgrow it and the infant car seat is still as good as new.
it was relatively easy to assemble, most of the pieces were already assembled with the exception of the stroller wheels and couple of other things; overall it wasn't super difficult to assemble. I would say that it does not come with a very good head support cushion required for a newborn, so we bought that extra and were easily able to attach it into the infant car seat straps. The stroller is bulky, but in comparison to other travel Systems I reviewed and looked at, this one was lighter and more utilitarian. The car seat and stroller fabric is easy to maintain and very comfortable on the skin, but not super absorbent. since our little one used to sweat a LOT around the back of her head, we always layered that area with a soft cotton cloth to giver her extra comfort.
Best of all, when Graco announced recalls on some of their strollers, this one was not on the list.

I do agree with one of the reviewers who didn't like the stroller straps. they're not heavy duty and a bit unusual when it comes to the locking mechanism while securing the infant/ toddler in the stroller. However, we personally did not find it super annoying and are now used to it.

Great Product
By 1st time mama
This travel system is great. The colors are bright and draws attention. I got many complements on it. The set up was very fast and easy. I love Graco items because they connect so easy with other Graco products. The only issue I had with this one was the weight limits on the car seat it only goes up to 22lbs. Other than that, I love it.

Awesome Travel System!!!! Would purchase again!
By Angela M. Zeise
As I have never made a purchase on line like this before I was a bit nervous! Once I received this travel system I was thrilled. It's so much better in person! It was simple to put together and only took me about 15 minutes. I bought this for my third child and must say that it is a 100% better than the two I had for my other children. If I was to ever buy another one this would be the one. If you purchase this travel system you will not regret it. It's so pretty. I can't wait to bring my daughter home in it.

Meets All Our Needs + Stylish and Very User-Friendly
By PuppyLove
My husband & I had the hardest time picking a stroller/car seat combo. This was our first baby, so we had no idea what qualities would be important to us. Safety is obvious, and price was of course a factor, but what else? Lightweight? Easy to set up & take down? Comfort for us & baby? Which mattered more & which "cons" should we give the most credence to? We went to many stores & tried out every model, then we'd come home and read the Amazon reviews, and the ones we liked would have negative comments that would make us doubt our decision, so we'd start the search all over again. It seemed like no one liked their stroller/car seat.

I'm sure some of you out there are having the same trouble, so for those of you hung up like I was on the negative comments, I would like to give you a different perspective on some of the other reviews. Just because there is a "con" doesn't mean it's a dealbreaker - these things are livable! There is no perfect item out there - the Chicco is as close to perfect as we felt we could get - we love it, and we'd buy it again.

THE BIG PICTURE:

1. This is a GREAT stroller for the price range. It is not the cheapest, but not nearly the most expensive. We bought a Graco first and didn't like it - the carseat on this locks so much easier into the base and the stroller, and it also feels much sturdier, smoother, and better put together than the Graco.
2. It rides great - inside & outside. It steers easily, it's smooth, and the handle feels comfy.
3. It is easy to clean, and the fabric choices are stylish.
4. The stroller is very simple to unfold & fold, and the carseat could not be any easier to lock in place.
5. It is comfortable for the baby. She falls asleep & stays asleep in it often.

NOW, TO ADDRESS SOME SUPPOSED DRAWBACKS:

1. Yes, the fabric is warm, (some of the styles of Chicco even seem hotter than others, go see them in person first), but so are pretty much all carseat fabrics (and swing and high chair fabrics). It makes them easy to clean). We bought the "Cubes" and are happy with that fabric and pattern. It is summer in Texas and the baby sweats a bit on her back. It doesn't seem to bother her at all.

2. We have not had any trouble with the straps being too tight or too loose, brakes not working, or wheels squeaking. Our baby has been in the 75-90th percentile for height & weight since 2 months, and no trouble fitting. And I can't imagine how anyone could have trouble locking in the carseat unless it was broken. We literally tried every model at Babies R Us and Buy Buy Baby, and this was the easiest one to lock in.

3. Yes, it is heavier than some models. The seat feels heavier than the stroller. I consider myself a full-fledged wimp, and I could handle either. I use a carrier of some type instead of toting the seat by itself when possible. Not a big deal.

4. When using the seat with the stroller, unless you have a very narrow diaper bag, it will be hard to get it under the seat, and you won't be able to fit some shopping items under there. Again, not a big deal - use a mommy hook or carry the bag on your shoulder. You don't need tons of heavy stuff in your bag when the babies are that young. We always used a hand basket for shopping - it is easy enough to maneuver the stroller with one hand, and we never felt comfortable putting shopping items under the stroller. It felt like people were always watching us thinking we were shoplifting. (Sometimes they specifically checked for that).

5. The adult beverage holder is too shallow. If you hit a bump, your drink will probably spill. However, if you are at the mall, etc., not many bumps there, and if you are outside, you can attach a water bottle to a mommy hook.

Disclaimer: We have owned this for 5 months now, it is holding up perfectly so far. We live in the suburbs, so we use this for shopping, but we also take it on a pretty rough sidewalk about 1/2 to 1 mile every day. We also have large vehicles, so no trouble fitting the stroller. Another caveat, either one of us does the grocery shopping while the other keeps the baby, or we both go & one pushes the cart and the other pushes the stroller, so if you have to do lots of shopping alone & with baby, there may be a better product for you since the carseat does take up most of a shopping buggy & the basket is difficult to access.

Absolutely love this thing
By Brady'sMommy
First, since I'm only rating the stroller and not the entire system, I can't give it 5 stars. The stroller deserves 5 stars though. Our infant was too big for the car seat when we bought it so we haven't had a chance to use it yet. We bought this system because we wanted the stroller but since it didn't come without the car seat we just gave in and bought the whole thing and decided to sell our old seat.

Anyway, the stroller is amazing. It had all the amenities we were looking for. We did not want a large stroller or a small umbrella stroller so we were looking for a mid-size. My husband is 6 ft tall and I am 5'5" so the adjustable handle is perfect for both of us. My son is tall and big and is 9 months old. He is off the charts for height and is in the 95th percentile for weight and he fits in the seat fine. IDK why another parent said his/her child didn't fit in it. I'd personally love to see that myself.

This is our third purchased stroller, 6th if you count the ones we have borrowed. It rides smoother than the others we have used. It turns easier, rides higher, has more adjustments and amenities than any others. I wish we had bought this instead of the other two strollers we have gone through but hey, live and learn right?

The front wheels are lockable so they do not rotate. Awesome feature. There are many times I rock the stroller back and forth to comfort the baby while eating out or while in a long line at the store. When the wheels rotate on the other strollers while doing this, it frustrates me to no end! I love this locking feature.

The material is the same material as our high chair (Chicco Polly Highchair - Adventure). The material gets spots very easily but they also come out easily. Just throw it in a cold wash without soap, high water level, hang dry and you are set.

Great for a taller parent
By J. Stover
After spending a lot of time testing strollers in store, this one was absolutely my choice. My husband and I are both very tall and this is so comfortable to push around relative to height. I was actually delighted by how light the car seat/carrier was, and I thought the fold up was a breeze compared to some of the bulky Gracos we tested. Positioning the seat for forward facing use (without the carrier) was also very easy. The car base is extremely secure and clicks into place so you can tell its in there properly. Frankly when it comes to ease of use I can't imagine anything else better than the Cortina system. I have read some places that the carrier does not fit in shopping carts. That does not bother me, we use the baby carrier or sling when shopping or just take the stroller in and put items underneath in the storage compartment. As a first time mom I am very impressed with this item and consider it a great value for the price.

Great travel system.
By Jose Gei Alvarado
We have only used this travel system for a couple of weeks, but we think this is a great buy. Easy to put together, easy to use, it may not be the most sophisticated system around, but it gets the job done. Beautiful too! The car seat base was very easy to install in our car, and the car seat snaps in and out very fast, and our baby girl is gets very comfortable in it. Same thing with the stroller, it may not be the lightest around, but it has enough space for our diaper bag, its easy to manuever, and when you fold it, it fits easily in a mid size car trunk. The only thing we have found is that the stroller's seat doesn't recline all the way to a horizontal position, it goes only 2/3 of the way.

Love ALMOST everything
By H. E. Q. Lane
I purchased this for our fourth child -- we had worn out our old stroller!

Here are the pros of this:

*Great color, subtle and gender-neutral, fashionable, but not too trendy
*LOVE the stroller -- it is light and easy to fold and unfold
*The basket under the stroller is a good size
*One-hand steering on the stroller! This is great!
*The stroller and seat are sturdy, good quality Graco

Here are the cons:

*Actually, there is only one con, but for me it has been a big one: The infant seat straps tighten separately and adjust at the back of the seat. Both of our older Graco SnugRides adjusted at the front of the seat with a single strap between the baby's legs. The back adjust does allow you to adjust each side more accurately, I suppose, but it requires two hands to do it right and takes more time (and time is of the essence when you have 4 kids!). It is also really difficult to loosen/tighten the straps when the seat is in the base in the car or set on the stroller, because you're at an awkward angle and there isn't a lot of clearance to pull down. I often carry my son in a sling in stores, etc. and getting him back in the seat is frustrating, especially when I am in a hurry and/or when it has been very cold and I am trying to get him in and the car door closed as quickly as possible.

If I had known the adjust on this was at the rear of the seat, I may have chosen a different travel system. Of course, it is our fault that we didn't get it ready until I was ready to leave the hospital with our new baby, but I never thought the design would be different than what it's always been. I have seen the front adjust on other new SnugRides, so I am not sure why this has the rear adjustment.

Whatever you choose for you -- congrats on your baby and enjoy him or her!

So far, love it!
By A. Rankin
I just got this yesterday, and so far, I'm very impressed! The directions to assemble the carseat were easy to follow, and it seemed pretty easy to put together. I really appreciate that they didn't send this with a bunch of screws; nearly everything just snaps into place! The stroller seems very sturdy, and I've already found that it's easy to steer around. I don't feel that it's too bulky or heavy. It did fit right into the trunk of my midsize car (though from experience with a friend's similar model, a clean, moderately sized trunk helps a lot for storing this stroller). I love how this system looks too; the lining will just wipe clean, but it's not such a stiff material that is uncomfortable. It just looks pretty too. :) My daughter has already spent quite a bit of time in her new seat, and at 4 and a half months old, she settled right in and seemed very comfortable! I hope the future with our new travel system is just as good as the 1st day has been!
