Travel System (Car Seat/Stroller) Brands *With Poll*
I'm having a really hard time with this...
I don't know why, but I keep leaning towards Graco. I guess bc it has so much brand recognition and they are overall very good products, but I've also read great reviews about other brands, too!
What brand is the Travel System that you registered for and what made you choose it?
Any help would be appreciated!!

We chose Graco for the excellent reviews and also because it was the one we liked the most in the store. I really suggest you go to BRU or BBB or wherever and try them out. There were a couple that I had on my list that I ruled out once I tried to open and close them. One took DH and I 15 min to reopen!
We ended up picking the Graco Spree b/c it is lightweight and easy to use. But each person is diff. GL!

We went with Chicco. We just really liked how easy their KeyFit travel system was to use.
Also, my SIL has this stroller and loves it. We were able to test drive her stroller with our nephew in it to see how it was to use with an actual baby.... he survived our experiment which helped in our decision.

Same here. DS loves it...he can sit all the way up and look around...he never complains to get out of the stroller when we shop, go for walks, etc.
Love Chicco so much, we will also be getting the double stroller (chicco together).

Thanks ladies!!!
I think it will definitely be between Graco and Chicco... By the sounds of it, Chicco is definitely the way to go!!

We went with Peg Perego Pliko Switch Travel System. Excellent review and we love how the stroller can turn into a bassinett.

Re: Travel System (Car Seat/Stroller) Brands *With Poll*
I voted other.
I never got a travel system because of all the feedback about how heavy they were. I had a graco safe seat and the snap and go and LOVED it. I know some people complain about how heavy the car seat can get eventually, but I had my BIG boy in there until a year. I literally was sad when he grew out of it. At that point we moved onto the Britax car seat and a Maclaran stroller (also love this). Now I'm having #2...I'm looking at the Evenflo Sit and Stand and maybe a buggy board for the snap and go (it's a platform you put on the back for the older child to ride on.) HTH

Re: Travel System (Car Seat/Stroller) Brands *With Poll*
I have the Chicco and loved the car seat.
The stroller I have a slight issue with because DS is BIG for his age... There are wings (only way to describe them) on the top portion of the stroller and DS is sort of too wide for them. He can't sit comfortably all the way back in the stroller.
I still put him in it, and use it, but I usually fold a blanket and put it behind him so there isn't a "gap" between him and the seat, if that makes sense.
Hope that helps!!!!!!!

I didn't get a travel system. A lot of people use the snap and go and then get a lighter stroller later on.

Re: Travel System (Car Seat/Stroller) Brands *With Poll*
WE have graco and it's great b/c it's pretty much interchangable with everything and when we found out we were in the 2 under 2 club and looking for a double stroller that accepts the car seat we were pleasantly surprised at how many our car seat fit into.
The chicco also has good recomendations.
