Reviews on Popular Baby Stuff

I chose this model infant seat because it is really lightweight. It weighs merely 7lbs (without the base and the baby). EPS foam lines the seat in-between the plastic and fabric that the infant sits on. The fabrics clean easily and come in colors that I wanted - black, and orange/beige accent color. There is a super soft velvet fabric that comes in beige. It has a foot cover that is removable which is great for those winter months or for visiting the park. Shoulder straps covers as well as the head support are removable. This is great for throwing into the washer. The removable canopy is a bit flimsy, but comes with a top peephole so you can keep an eye on baby. It took my husband just 5 minutes to install the base after reading the clear instructions. All in all, I like the car seat and recommend it to all my friends.

When I had my baby shower two years ago, I was lucky enough to get my 2008 model as a gift. I was able to assemble it myself quite easily. I have been regularly using it ever since then. I normally jog about ten to twelve miles every week, and I am happy to say that it is still working like new. I enjoy jogging up quite a few hills, and I must say the jogger would maneuver a lot easier if it had a useful hand break. It works equally well in the countryside as it does in town, on the beach and even on camping. The snap and go car seat was really great for my son when he was smaller, and now that I have another baby this car seat is still working well. We are now on the lookout for a nifty double jogger that I can use, but for now I am using this jogger while hubby watches our other son.

We began looking around for a new carseat because our baby of 5 months was starting to feel confined in the baby seat. Carrying him around was getting FAR too heavy! I had my eyes set on a Britax because of all the great things I’ve heard about them, but like a lot of people have commented, they are unfortunately very expensive! I worryingly thought that our son would still be too small for the bigger seat, but I thought I would try it anyway. Our son can now see out of the window and loves it and easily falls asleep when we go out with him. He often cried before when he was in our car, but is now quite content while in his seat and looks around. We are really happy about switching to this carseat, and our son will be able to use it for many more years - up until he weighs 50 pounds!

I just love the design and color of this car seat, and I find it quite gender neutral. It would work just as well for a boy or a girl. It definitely works for my daughter. The price of the car seat is fab as well. The base for the car seat is also included, which I was very happy about. I honestly thought I would have to purchase it separately. The adjuster for the straps is nice and accessible, and the seat doesn’t have to be flipped over to tighten or loosen the straps. You can do this with baby in the car seat just by loosening or pulling the strap by your baby’s feet. One complaint would be the visor. It’s quite difficult to pull down or up.

This seat also snaps into my Jeep Liberty stroller.

It took my husband and I forever to look for a stroller. We went through several of them before turning to the Chicco Cortina KeyFit 30 Travel System. The biggest reason we decided to go this route was because of the way it folded up. The majority of the strollers out there will fold down to the ground, but this one folds up. It means no bending down to pick anything up, which happens to be extra work for me. Plus you’re able to push it to a destination as opposed to carrying it. It’s the only option that lays flat with a little piece of security. This allows your baby to sleep peacefully without sliding down. If you enjoy cup holders it’s nice to know they can be cleaned, and there is a huge opening for the diaper bag. It makes it a lot easier to get things out of the back and everything will fit easily into the stroller.
