For our family this system has worked great. Any system that is an all in one is going to have some adjustments you will have to make in order for the unit to go from one state to another. Our family has never had a problem using the carrier with the stroller or without it. The car base unit is super easy to install and use. Our son has just out grown the carrier and base units and we are passing them on to a friend who is having a baby soon. We will continue to use the stroller.

I can understand the other reviewer's frustration. You do have to know how the system works and what position(s) certain parts of the stroller need to be in install the carrier. The ability of this stroller to go from a carrier system to a full fledge stroller for a toddler is great for us.

The units are sturdy, well built and thought out for your growing baby. Our family has felt safe using them with our baby. We highly recommend it.

SO let me give you the scenario I face when I try and use the product. I have a newborn, born in late December, in New England. When I try to place the car seat in the stroller, it doesn't snap. The back of the seat is in the wrong position. So, I put the baby either back in the car or on the ground and try another seat position, then I pick up the baby again and put him back in the stroller hoping I got the right seat position. Oops, wrong again, put the baby back on the ground, or in the car, and go... Read more
