I bought this system for my first grandchild. We have loved it! The car seat was rated as one of the safest and seemed to be very comfortable and is very easy to take apart to wash for those times when the unexpected happens. The car seat fits onto the stroller or the stroller can be used alone. My daughter, my 4 month old granddaughter and I were stuck in Boston for 2 weeks staying in a hotel and traveling back and forth to the hospital. The travel system was our lifesaver! We packed it up with more stuff than you can begin to imagine. We actually used it to move from one hotel to another! It is on the second child now and holding up great. The only problem we have had is that there is a tiny tear in the fabric but this was our fault--the place we had to put it in the car was a little too small. Overall it has held up fantastic.We love all the places it has to hold things--the roomy and sturdy under storage, the cup holder and key holder, We would highly recommend it.
