A travel system from Graco that is similar to the Chicco Cortina 30 Travel System, but lighter weight?

The infant carrier/travel system I am wanting to buy was made 05/16/2010. It is the Baby Trend Stride Sport Travel System- All Star. I have looked and found no recalls on this item. My due date to have my son is in July of 2012 so the car seat will be 2 years old. I was wondering if it is still alright to use? I know some manufactures have a 5-6 year warranty. Also, I live in Missouri and I have heard that some hospitals don’t except infant carriers that are over a year old.. Is this true?

We have an almost 4 yr old and are due with our second child in 5 months. We have everything we need, but a friend warned me against using our carseat and stroller again, becuase it may be out of safety regulation being almost 4 yrs old. It’s a Chicco KeyFit 30, and had great safety ratings when we purchased it. Any one know typically how many years a travel system is good for?

we are taking our 10 month old to a couple of air trips coming up. We used to carry his car seat and his stroller to the gate and get the car seat and the stroller checked in at the gate. However, he has outgrown his ‘travel system car seat’ and now uses a Britax Marathon for a car seat. Now that we are taking him traveling to see relatives, how do I take the car seat with us? The Britax Marathon is big and heavy so we don’t necessary want to carry it onto the plane with us. But if we check it in, I worry that it will get bumped and scratched and get dirty. Any tips?

Does anyone know of a lightweight umbrella-type stroller where the baby faces the parent? My daughter’s too big for her infant seat in the travel system stroller, but I still want to be able to face her and talk to her while pushing her around.

Thanks!

Should I buy a combo travel system or separate? I saw some at babies r us but the material of those travel system isn’t soft. I also like an infant car seat which is very nice and soft but it doesn’t come with the stroller. It makes me confused. Could you give some advices? And what kind and brand of them did you buy for your babies. Thanks for your help!

I can decide which carseat to go with, money is somewhat of an issue, I either want the Britax Decathalon which is convertible and can be used from 5 lbs. to 65 lbs. or to get a travel system then get another carseat when the baby grows out of the infant carrier?

Moms and Dads Serious answers only please on which one you chose and why you chose it.
Did having the infant carrier make it easier for going to the store, eating out, etc. Or if you used the britax from birth what did you use to put the baby in when you went out?

My son is 2 weeks old and we have the whole stroller travel system that we bring everywhere! We live in a city and I was wondering when we will be able to drop the infant seat and gigantic, heavy stroller and put him in a more light weight umbrella stroller.
Will he be ready by December so we don’t have to use the huge Stroller in the midst of all the Christmas tourists?

I had my baby shower last weekend and received the stroller I registered for from a family member that smokes in her house…..thus, the stroller smells like smoke. It’s a travel system, so the infant carrier carseat smells like it too! I am afraid to use anything too harsh on it since my baby will be in it come August! Any suggestions? Maybe spraying down with vinegar and setting in the sun for a day?

Is a baby bucket with a travel system safer that a lay-flat stroller? Or is a lay-flat stroller safer for a newborn?

What’s your rating on your jogging stroller? Like it, love it, hate it?

We’re looking for one that can be used as a travel system or can hold two kiddies (preferable in line like cars on a train, not next to each other like people in a car). It’s a tough order, so we’ll take any advice on your stroller because we probably won’t be able to find our dream one!

Thanks!

I’m 35 weeks & we finally decided on the travel system we want!
Hubby & I love the Chicco Cortina key fit 30 travel system. It’s a top rated travel system & the style is very nice.
We plan on ordering this next week since it’s getting reallyy close to that time now!
Anyway, have you ever used this travel system before? If so, what did you think about it? Would you reccomend it?
Thank you!!

Does anyone know of a good travel system stroller that will work well in grass and uneven ground?
I’m shopping around for a stroller for baby #3, ( who’s due in 2 months!). I have two joggers that I LOVE, but the problem with them is that neither will work with an infant carrier or hold a newborn well. I’ve looked at the new baby trend brand jogger/travel systems, but I’m not happy with them because they seem cheaply made.
I’m looking for something that holds one child, cost less than 0 and will hold an infant carrier. It must work well on grass because I walk my older daughter to school everyday and part of that walk is over a grassy hill to reach the sidewalk. I know joggers, but I’m not fimiliar with the four-wheel kinds and most customer review don’t mention anything about the ease of use in grassy terrrain.
Anyone have any suggestions?

i am 9 months pregnant and next week we are going to be getting a stroller. do you think i should get a travel system? full size stroller? i dont know im so confused. what did you do?

I have two strollers. One is from when my son was an infant and it was part of a travel system. The other is slightly larger than an umbrella and it is the one we pretty much use when we go to the zoo or mall. I am thinking of getting rid of the larger stroller but I don’t know if I should or not. Also, it was a baby shower present from my mom. Can I sell it or should I offer it back to her? My son is 2 1/2 and he is the only grandchild on both sides. Any suggestions?
