Graco Premier Merge Travel System with SnugRide SnugFit 35 LX Infant Car Seat - Midtown

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used the same travel system for all 3 of my babies. It has worked fine, but I had no clue what I was missing until the Stellar Product Testing panel sent me the Premier Merge Travel System. I immediately wanted to burn the old one, but settled for leaving it at Grandma’s! Everything about this system is 10x more convenient than my existing one. I’m 4’11 and could easily fold the stroller with one hand while holding my chunky 20lber on my other hip. Opening it is just as easy, and I love that it doesn’t fall over when closed. It looks like a high end stroller with the leather bar and sleek fabric. Don’t get me started on the ease of use for the car seat. You mean to tell me I’ve been fighting for my life with adjusting the handle on my old car seat for literal years, when I could have used this one?! It has one button at the top of the handle versus the button on either side that need to be pushed together at precisely the exact same time that most have. I’ve always been relieved when moving my kids to convertible car seats bc their so much easier to adjust for height, so I was very excited to see this car seat adjusts the same way; from the top without having to mess with the straps. It took me maybe a minute to get my son fitted perfectly! The fabric of the stroller is so so lightweight and breathable that I felt much more comfortable letting my baby take a nap during a long, hot, walk. But my favorite feature, hands down, is the magnetic clips on the stroller seat. Not only does this make it super quick to strap baby in, but when my baby fell asleep on that long, hot walk I mentioned, it was SO easy to open the magnetic clips to get him out without waking him up. That’s more than worth the money right there! I played around with the 360 wheels. They’re neat, but I didn’t have a need for them in the time I used it, so I can’t speak to how functional they really are. I could see them being helpful in tight spaces. The only feature that I didn’t love, was the way you attach the car seat to the stroller seat. I’m used to a system where the stroller seat is completely removed to insert the car seat, so I had a really hard time getting it in. This wasn’t a deal breaker for me bc my baby is 10 months old, so I didn’t necessarily need the feature. But I did like that this system has 2 pieces vs the 3 I had to carry around with my existing system. This travel system is magical! I will be recommending it to all of my friends, and am now using it as my primary system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We receive this travel system as part of a Stellar Product Testing panel. And we’ve enjoyed it so far! Out of the box, assembly was a breeze – extremely intuitive. We only referenced the instructions for confirmation that everything was assembled correctly, but never had to problem-solve. The aesthetic is sleek, modern, and classy – heather gray with patterned stitching and the brown leather handles/lap bar add a sophisticated feel. While we thankfully have not had to yet, the moisture-wicking fabric seems like it will be a cinch to clean and keep clean. We like that the car seat base is small and slim – it allows for easy loading, not having to lift the car seat as high into the seat. And allows the older littles to easily squeeze past on their way to the back row. And the smaller frame is still strong and mighty! The snug-fit feature allows us to secure the base tighter than we’ve ever been able to cinch a base – giving us a lot of confidence in our kiddo’s safety. The carrier is great. We love the continuity of the sophisticated aesthetic with some convenience features! The head cushion (and shoulder positioning of the restraints) is easily adjustable without have to disassemble and fish the straps through various holes – it effortlessly just slides up/down to find the right positioning. Love the one-hand operation of the carrier handle. And the restraint has an effortlessly smooth action when tightening/loosening. No need to fight it or find just the right angle to pull on. One con is the pull to release the carseat from the base. It gets covered by the sun-shade and is often hard to find and operate. The stroller has been great and super functional. The simple folding action is a game changer quick-action and fumble-free operation. The 360 degree wheels are a fun feature, but to be completely honestly, we have not found a situation in which we’ve needed it. This feature would be extremely useful for a double-stroller application, but as a single-stroller do not ever think to use it. The oversized, rubbery wheels make for an extremely smooth, gliding ride.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I didn’t expect to like this travel system as much as I did! Pros: Compact Lightweight Spacious Thick but soft fabric Easy handling I loved that everything in this system felt spacious without being bulky. Both the car seat and the stroller were super lightweight while still feeling sturdy. I also really like the fabric which was very soft and cooling. My infant was very comfortable and didn’t sink into this car seat like she has in other infant car seats. The fact that I can adjust the headrest like a convertible car seat is a game changer! The large canopies are also a huge plus for me. I like the magnetic lock on the straps, but did find some of the adjustment buttons to be a little difficult to push in. I really love that you don’t have to remove anything from the stroller to install the car seat, the click and go is so convenient. Cons: I’m not sure that the EZ spin wheels are necessary. The stroller is easy to maneuver and I feel like the functionality is overkill. While I appreciate extra locking wheels, I didn’t realize that the front wheel was locked at first and I had a really hard time figuring out what was wrong. Maybe make this a more mentioned feature in the manual. I also find the shoulder straps on the car seat to be too bulky. Generally, I love Graco products and this travel system is no exception. It feels sturdy, looks luxurious, and is a breeze to install and handle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from Steller Panel in exchange for my honest review. This travel system looks beautiful with great quality fabric and a sleek design. It has a nice sized basket and parent cup holder for 2! I love how the sun shade can unzip and cover the toddler seat completely especially when the toddler falls asleep in the stroller. The magnetic clasps are a game changer. With lighter weight children the stroller handles great and maneuvers well. The stroller folds up easily. The 360 wheels are great but you have to hold the button in or else the back wheels will lock up right away. The toddler seat does not come out and is not machine washable. When looking at the seat under the fabric, it’s just a plastic board and it is quite flimsy at the top. The plastic wheels make a loud noise when walking on sidewalks and are not very smooth compared to all terrain wheels. It was hard to get the infant seat to snap correctly on the sides of the stroller due to the mesh fabric in the way however, the infant seat is great and I would purchase it by itself! The infant seat is easy to install, comfortable, lightweight and easy to use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have loved having this! My baby seems so comfortable in the car seat; she’s nestled in snugly but not smooshed and she doesn’t squirm around when I put her in it. I like that it’s easy to adjust the custom fit to her. It’s so lightweight which is so, so nice when you already have the weight of baby, diaper bags, etc. It’s easy to pop it out of the base and right into the stroller. The stroller is also super easy; it’s lightweight, easy to push/roll/turn corners, and I like the look of it too. The buckle is great as it feels secure since it’s magnetic. I like the adjustable recline of the stroller. There’s also lots of storage space which is great as I’m always taking extra baby stuff with me. This really is a great travel system; the seat is safe, seems comfortable, and easily pops into an easy to navigate stroller. I honestly have no complaints about it. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a busy mom, I’ve found the Premier Merge Travel System to be an exceptional choice. This system stands out for its ease of use, style, and practical features. One of the MAJOR car seat highlights is that it's very lightweight! The car seat is easy to carry, even with a larger or older baby. It's well-padded and feels durable and premium, offering excellent value. It's also a very simple instal and it's very straightforward and secure, making it the easiest I've encountered compared to other high-end models. The base fits well in smaller cars due to its compact size. The most unique of the stroller highlights is obviously the 360-Degree wheels!! These wheels enhance maneuverability, making it a breeze to navigate tight spaces and turn easily. This feature is especially useful in restaurants and narrow aisles. I also LOVE that I can easily utilize this feature, by using one hand and the button is on the handlebar. Making it very simple to use the 360-degree wheels or just regular stroller wheels. The stroller also has one-handed recline and makes an easy transition from car seat to stroller. The stroller reclines with one hand, and the car seat clicks seamlessly onto the stroller, which is perfect for switching between baby and toddler needs. It's also very stylish while also practical. The stroller boasts a sleek design with leather accents and ample storage. It folds easily and stands on its own, which is great for storage. As for cons, I found the upper portion of the stroller seat to be flimsy. Which isn't a problem while the kids are smaller, but as they grow...could potentially be an issue. The stroller struggles on very rough or uneven surfaces, making it less ideal for bumpy sidewalks or off-road conditions. Overall, the Premier Merge Travel System delivers on convenience, style, and functionality. It excels in everyday use and is particularly well-suited for smooth surfaces and urban environments. If you need a stylish, easy-to-use travel system, this one is highly recommended. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for the opportunity to review this fantastic system!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The material and design of the travel system look sleek and work well. The neutral, gray color looks classy and the fabric really is moisture wicking. The basket under the stroller has ample storage and the seat can easily recline back. My favorite features of the stroller are the 360 degree wheels and magnetic buckle. It made it very easy to navigate around the busy aquarium! The magnetic buckle was a game changer in being able to hold my toddler with one hand and buckle/unbuckle my infant with the other hand. I also love that the travel system provides 100% coverage from the sun when the car seat is installed. I had a hard time remembering how to utilize the self-standing fold feature; the locking mechanism is on the bottom left part of the stroller, but I wish it was more conveniently located at the top of the stroller on or near the handle. I also had a hard time clicking the car seat into the travel system. It appears as if the fabric on the stroller is in the way of the notches on the car seat where it clicks into place. However, it was extremely easy to install in the car. There is a level built into the base, and the SnugLock made it fast and easy for a secure and safe installation. I love the contours on the car seat handle which allow you to comfortably carry it on your forearm. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was lucky enough to get the Premier Merge Travel System through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It’s incredibly convenient and makes running errands with an infant a breeze. It’s easy to maneuver and comfortable for my baby, especially in the summer months.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This travel system is so nice! We received it from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Fresh out of the box and it was almost completely assembled- all we did was pop the wheels on! The car seat is SO handy. The easy adjust headrest is a game changer all carrier car seats should move to. The stroller has 2 cup holders (win!) and super nice storage underneath. My only complaint is the wheels might spin a little too much. When the wheels are locked it’s a hassle to remember to hold the button to rotate. But, when the wheels are unlocked I felt like a the wind was really pushing the stroller around. Otherwise this is a nice, comfy, adjustable option!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, this is a pretty great travel system! I've used Graco car seats before and they are always 10/10 for me. My baby was comfortable in the carseat and it was a huge plus that I didn't have to unbuckle her to go some places. It easily clicks into the base and onto the stroller! The stroller is so pretty! It's very stylish and I love the leather bar that goes across the front. It adds a nice pop and a very nice foot rest for my active kiddos. I have an 11m old and a 2y old and they both fit in it comfortably. I loved that it has the 5 and 3 point harness so I didn't have to adjust it to each child every time. Not to mention the magnetic buckle!? So cool and EASY! Different from other strollers I've used so that stood out to me. A huuuge benefit to this stroller is that it stands on it's own once folded! I don't have much space for storage so I really appreciated that feature. The 360-degree wheel function was really fun. It turned well in small spaces and it was honestly just fun spinning my toddler around. He loved it! The cons of this stroller is that it really only does well on smooth concrete or inside stores. I was pushing it in my driveway and I have an uneven spot where the concrete goes up about an inch. I could not get the wheels to go over it. I had to tip the stroller back and lift it over. It was pretty pathetic and I was disappointed by that. If you are looking for stylish and easy travel system and you don't do much outdoors, this is a great option for you! I will definitely continue to use it in stores or on maintained ground. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this travel system in exchange of my honest review!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Let’s just say that this was amazing! The car seat is extremely comfortable for my baby, and the maneuverability of the stroller is flawless! There was only one thing I did not like about the stroller. It’s too big for my car. Even when I fold it down, it’s a lot bigger than my previous stroller and so it was difficult trying to figure out how we were going to load up the car. But back to the features, The look and design of the moisture-wicking fabric are lovely and works great in keeping my baby comfortable. Oh and installing the car seat is so easy! I have always been intimidated about installing car seats because there are some where you have to figure out how to get the seat belt to go through it and even then the car seat moves around a lot. Once you install this Premier Merge Travel system car seat, it’s secured and I feel a lot more confident with it. In addition, this car seat is a lot easier to adjust the handle. Just one button instead of two on either side of it! The design of this car seat/stroller made mommy’s and baby’s life a lot easier and more comfortable and secure. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a 2 month old daughter and when I got this amazing stroller and car seat combo from The Stellar Product Testing Panel I was excited. I was even more excited once I finally got to take the stroller out with my daughter! The stroller alone is worth it, it's amazing. First it looks so nice. I love the grey fabric and the bits of leather on the handles. The 360 wheels in the back are amazing for certain situations and the button on the handle for them is so nice. Also, this thing folds SO EASY! Make sure the wheels are locked and push both buttons and the handle and voila! The basket underneath is very spacious too. I also love the 2 cupholders and a perfect spot for my phone. The car seat is also very nice. Super easy to install and looks so nice and comfy for baby girl! I genuinely am obsessed with these. The car seat also has an easy to adjust headrest feature that is nice. I love that I can easily click her car seat right into the stroller but can use the stroller on its own for her as she grows.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to be gifted this travel system through the Stellar Product Testing panel. For reference I have two little ones, ages 7 months and 3.5 years, and we live in a midwestern suburbia. We spend our days walking to the park or running errands. We already have one high-end travel system and honestly didn’t think another brand could compare. However, the Graco Merge system has some benefits that my other stroller didn’t offer. Pros: - Optional 360-degree wheels: made navigating around tricky spaces (like the tables in a restaurants or narrow aisles in a boutique) much easier! I especially liked that it is an optional feature with just the push of a button, and when the 360-degree wheels aren’t engaged it functions like a traditional stroller with a smooth ride - Magnetic buckles: easy for me to manage one-handed (but not so easy that the baby could accidentally unbuckle themselves) - Built-in cupholders (was nice to not have to pay for an additional add-on) - Infant car seat was light and felt secure, and was easy to transfer from car to stroller Cons: - Basket under the stroller didn’t hold much (but has good ground clearance) - Lower quality fabrics (but well-cushioned!) I would definitely recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I absolutely love this stroller and cannot believe how smooth and easy everything about it is! It’s absolutely amazing how quickly and efficiently the stroller pops open and closes down/buckles. It’s easy to do for me (short, not super strong) once I got the hang of it! I also love the 360 degree turn wheels. My old stroller used to always get stuck or jam, but this glides so smooth while maintaining nice strong traction! I also love the look and feel of the quilted fabric, it reminds me of more luxury brands. Ditto on the leather handlebar and cross bar! The double cup holders are a great choice. I also really love the fuss free magnetic buckle, it’s super easy and feels really secure for my kiddo. There is ample storage room as well! Another thing I love is how easy the base is to install, and how absolutely comfy the infant pumpkin seat is for my baby! My toddler definitely enjoys the stroller more for now but having a secure travel system for her little sister makes it a total win win! Definitely recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system to review! I was impressed with the system when I took it out of the box. It looks like a premier or higher-end travel system with the color scheme and leather accents. I loved the small leather trim on the canopy and strap covers. This just shows that there was attention to detail, and it looks very classy. The leather is a gorgeous color and very soft. I put this travel system to the ultimate test by taking four kids back to school shopping at an outlet mall two weeks before school started. Yes - a nine-year-old, a six-year-old, a three-year-old, and a three-MONTH-old back school shopping by myself. This travel system was AMAZING! The infant carrier is so soft, and I now believe in moisture-wicking fabric. My three-month-old usually hates the car seat, but she was content throughout the shopping trip. I was most impressed by the 360-degree wheels. This is a game-changer for shopping with kids. I could easily steer the stroller with one hand as I held hands with my three-year-old. I could squeeze between the small aisles to catch up with my older kids. The stroller moves side to side just as easily as forward and backward. This function was so helpful as my kids wanted me to see different clothes on different racks. It was so convenient to just pull the stroller to the side instead of backing up, repositioning the stroller, getting the angle JUST right, and then catching up with the older kids. We easily went through every door and every aisle, even the notoriously narrow shoe aisles! The lock buttons are next to the back wheel, and you can use your foot to push down and lock the wheels. So easy. The infant car seat is soft and supportive. It is straightforward to install the base, especially if the seat has built in anchors. It’s as simple as finding the anchors and pushing a button. Our previous car seat had a clip that you had to apply pressure to, and it could be challenging to connect to the anchor. I was very impressed with how easy it was to attach and adjust the base. I found the one-button release for the handle to be very convenient, too. I had to push harder on the button than anticipated, but it isn’t too big of a deal, and I’m sure I will get used to it. Overall, I would say that my favorite aspect of this travel system is that it is convenient. I love that you can maneuver the stroller in any direction with one hand. It is incredibly smooth. The magnetic buckle is awesome when using the stroller without the infant carrier. The magnet is strong and buckles them so quickly! My three-year-old loves to feel independent and buckle herself now. I don’t have to worry about her pinching her fingers. This feature is a dream for any parent or caregiver who has finally convinced a toddler to get into the stroller and then found themselves having to complete a puzzle to even get them buckled! The seat adjusts very easily. You pull on the strap to recline the seat and push on the back of the seat to sit it back up. The stroller collapses and folds with just one button. The belly bar even folds in as the stroller collapses! The basket on the bottom of the stroller is very large and has two smaller pockets to keep items organized. The stroller is very slim when folded. I was able to put it in the back of an SUV with a third bench. This travel system checks all my boxes, and I wish I had it for all my kids!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To begin I have 3 kids (3yo, 20m, 2m) Putting this bad boy together was ridiculously easy! Everything is pretty much done. Just had to install the car seat base and throw on the wheels for the stroller. I was able to do it myself with all three kiddos awake haha WIN! I love the look/ style. Looks clean and high quality. I love the gray color on it with the moisture-wicking fabric. Helped us stay nice and cool for our little hike. The car seat, impressive, not only does it look/ feel so comfy (I just want to snuggle in there myself) it is spacious. On our little hike my 2 month old started to fuss so I took her out but my 20mo was having trouble keeping up while eating his pb&j so I put him in the stroller while I fed baby sister. He was loving it and it was so spacious, even for him (20mo). My favorite feature is the 360° wheels. WOW! This bad boy turns on a dime! We had no problem gliding through the aisles! Love how it isn't so bulky! Doesn't take up much space in the trunk. Plenty of storage in the bottom basket for diaper bag, snack bag, baby carrier, water bottles (that's what all I took on our hike) only down side, I wish it had a snack tray for the kiddos when we aren't using the car seat. But other then that this is a great stroller for really any occasion! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Graco Premier Merge Travel System through Stellar Product Testing Panel for my honest review. I really like this travel system. The instructions were easy to read and follow. It took less than 30 minutes to set it all up. The system looks so comfortable. The padding in the carseat was nice and thick. My son loves going for any adventures in it. I really love the adjustments on the carseat. There's a little lever you can use to adjust the straps for your growing child. LOVE IT!!! You don't have to flip it around, get frustrated, and make mistakes anymore. I put my son in the carseat and used the lever to get the right height for him. The other thing I loved was the stroller has magnetic fasteners. I held my baby's hands with one hand and used the other to get him snapped in. Easy peasy. Now as much as I enjoyed this travel system there were/are some downsides. One of my front wheels keeps getting locked. I read the problem solution and it still kept getting stuck. The other wheels were ok. I'm not sure if it's a me error or what but it made traveling an issue unless I was going forward and backward. My other issue was getting it to close up. I didn't want to break it so I let it be. Again it may be a me issue. Besides the two issues I experienced with the Premier Merge Travel System I really enjoy using it. My son loves using it and traveling around is such an experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This travel system was easy and quick to assemble. It definitely had a more luxe look than other systems I have seen. The stroller's 360-degree wheels made it extremely easy to navigate, especially when in tight spaces. The car seat was also easy to pop into the stroller so it made it easy to move my baby from the car to the stroller quickly - ideal in a busy parking lot! I also liked that the stroller seat shade worked with the car seat shade to create a large cover over the baby for shade from the sun. Additionally, I was impressed with the magnetic buckle! I have a toddler too and it was so quick to get her buckled with the magnetic closure. The only thing I would have liked to see would have been better tires but the ones that came with it held up nicely! I was given this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm very impressed by this travel system! Not only does the system look nice but it maneuvers so smoothly- even right out of the box. I can't get over how easy the one-handed fold is. Most importantly, both the carseat and the stroller are LIGHTWEIGHT. I'm actually excited to bring this stroller with me because I don't feel like I'm going to strain my back getting it in and out of the car...These features are my favorite by far. The unique 360 degree swivel and carseat to stroller attachment are also excellent features of this system. It's always awkward trying to maneuver your stroller in tight spaces like restaurants and stores but the 360 degree swivel is so easy to use!! It's a game changer for taking strollers out and about. Another feature that makes this stroller-carseat duo a great choice is how you can put your carseat on the stroller without any extra attachments! My one complaint with the attachment was that stroller fabric can get in the way of the buttons clicking. However if you push it down first then it isn't a problem. Other features I really like about the stroller are how big the basket is, the built-in cup holder and parent tray, and how far down the visor goes! My little dude runs very warm so the moisture-wicking fabric is an added bonus. I do feel like it helped keep him cooler during our summer walks. The only downside to this stroller would be that it doesn't become a double stroller. But if that isn't a major deciding factor for you, then this stroller checks off all the boxes and more! The carseat is also a great product. The anti-rebound bar on the base is my favorite safety feature. Overall the carseat is super easy to install and adjust and is very lightweight. My favorite product feature is the large visor. It keeps him perfectly out of the sun. A huge thank you to Stellar Product Testing for providing me with this travel system. It exceeded my expectations! I look forward to using it with my future kiddos!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] TLDR. The short version? While the Graco Premier Travel System has its flaws, its style, ease of transfer from car seat to stroller, and “grow with your child” capability makes it worth trying out. Being a mom of two (I have a 2-year-old and a 6-week-old), I was jazzed to test out a new stroller, especially one that’s touted as a travel system. Unboxing the stroller and car seat, I noted how slim and classy some of the products looked, with their gray and black coloring and brown leather (real or not, hard to say) accents. I LOVE the 360° wheels and locking mechanism for both front and back sets, especially when having a toddler who tries to climb in and out of everything. The stroller is sturdy and ideal for heavy terrain, has lots of space in the under carriage (enough for a small human! See picture attached…), an easily adjustable/removable “belly bar”, sizable cup holders that were big enough for a water bottle, and self-standing fold capability- which makes it SO much easier having one less thing to juggle. Any parent knows how much baggage kids come with, so having anything be hands-free, even for a moment- is A+ in my book. That said, the stroller isn’t perfect and could use some design tweaks. While having the car seat fit into the stroller makes the transition from the car to the outside world smoother, unlatching the car seat mechanism takes some finesse. The stroller is also a bit bulky and does not fit into the trunk of my smaller midsize car, so I can only really use it if I borrow my husband’s SUV. There’s an option to fully recline the stroller seat, which is great for relaxing/naps, however the seat seems to just stay at a reclined position? This means a toddler has to physically sit upright the whole time and can’t just lounge, which leaves them looking extremely uncomfortable. There’s also an adjustable footrest that remains a great feature in theory, but is awkwardly executed. It creates a downward slant to the firmer footrest below and seems like it would be an uncomfortable place to put your feet. The magnetic clasps could be a great feature, and while they’re easy to use when bucking your child in, they get stuck while detaching and getting your child out. Now, on to the car seat, complete with infant insert. I was pleasantly surprised to discover how “compact” and lightweight this was compared to the other infant car seat we own. It’s about 2# lighter (which is better for me as a mom recovering from a c-section), a couple inches shorter, and more narrow, which, in turn, makes it easier to fit in my husband’s car, containing two car seats. I love the ease of and location of the latch system (pictures attached) and adjustable headrest. My husband’s favorite feature is the release button in the center of the handle for one-handed manipulation. Really, the only negative thing I have to say about the car seat is that I don’t think it provides adequate head control. My son does not have full neck strength yet and I often worry about his breathing while sitting in the car seat. His head has to be adjusted frequently, therefore the car seat is not something I would use in the actual car for any long period of time, at least not at this phase in his life. We’ve only used it as part of the travel system for a short duration and when he’s completely supervised. All in all, this car seat/stroller combo makes traveling with an infant so much easier! Its “grow with your child” capability is also a huge plus in the money saving department. We initially only planned on using it for our 6-week-old son, however our toddler jumped in it right away, so we know it’s toddler approved! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system.
