*UPDATE: We have had this stroller system for over a year now, and I still rate it 5 stars. The quality of this stroller is awesome. We have not had anything on it break or any of the material tear, and it still pushes like a dream (which is impressive given that it's been subject to some abuse from multiple trips on an airplane and rough handling putting it in/taking it out of the car). The cover for the carrier has been washed multiple times and still looks brand new. It's very stain resistant: our baby had a couple of blow-outs in it, yet we have never had any stains remain on it after washing. The only complaint I do have is that my baby outgrew the carrier at 10 months, but I am not terribly upset about this as she is a rather large baby (95th percentile for height and weight at the time, but still under the height/weight restrictions of the carrier). I imagine that a smaller baby would have no trouble with the carrier until about a year or maybe even longer. Around the time she started to outgrow the carrier, we did have problems with the cover slipping off from the top of the seat where it cinches on. I'm not sure if the cover just stretched out over time, or if it had something to do with the fact that she was getting too big for the seat. Regardless, this system was well worth the money, and I would purchase it again in a heartbeat.*
If you have been researching travel systems for your baby, look no further! This system is awesome! After weeks worth of researching I decided to go with this system and I couldn't be happier with it. It is such good quality and feels very sturdy. The feature I like most about it is the material...the gray color feels like suede and the patterned portion feels somewhat cotton/cloth-like which is different than a lot of carriers/strollers that have material that just feels like plastic which I am sure is very hot and uncomfortable for baby. Please note though that if you go with the elephanta version of this travel system, the material that is in the center is more mesh/plastic-like instead of having a cloth feel. The greenish material is plastic feeling however, but it is in spots that shouldn't be a bother to baby. The coloring and pattern make this system very gender neutral.
Other great features about this system are that it comes with the Snugride 30 (one of the safest infant carseats on the market), the stroller can turn on a dime using just one hand, and the stroller can also be folded up with just one hand. When the carrier is in the stroller, both umbrellas match up nicely leaving no gaps for wind/other elements to get through which I have noticed is an issue with other systems. Also, there is a vent on the umbrella of the stroller which you can open and close by flipping a flap of material over it. The carrier is also light weight.
The only two bad things I have to say are that the stroller will take up most of the trunk space in a smaller vehicle and the padding on the handle of the stroller will leave your hands very smelly after only touching it for a minute. Other than that I can't wait to be able to use this once my baby arrives.

Deciding on what travel system to buy when I had my baby was probably one of the hardest things I had to do as far as baby shopping. I sat online and read reviews for probably 2-3 weeks, we went into stores, felt strollers, moved them and pushed them to make sure it felt right and still it was difficult to decide. I didn't have a fortune to spend on the most expensive stroller available but I wanted to make a good purchase so that it was worthwhile and lasted me for as long as possible. I Purchased this in September for our baby and its been amazing. The whole system works really well, for being a travel system its pretty compact. The stroller folds to fit in my car trunk which was a big concern initially because my car is on the smaller side. Love that the stroller can recline in a complete laying position, I can have my daughter with me all day and not have to worry about her not sleeping comfortably. The sun shade goes out far enough that she is not bothered and the netting on the cover still lets me see her without having to walk all the way around the stroller. It folds and unfolds super easily, I thought I was going to struggle with it but the fact that you push a button and twist the handle all in one to bring it down is great. I can have my baby in one arm and fold the stroller with the other, (what mom doesn't love to be able to multi-task). The car seat is very comfortable feeling, soft and works great even in the Southern heat. Its really easy to use and everything adjusts really well. The straps adjust with the push of a button so you don't have to mess with them in the back and its really easy to get baby in and out of it without interrupting her naps. Car seat snaps in and out of the base easily and fits well in my smaller car with plenty of room still to spare. Baby is 7 months old currently and will continue using this for quite a while longer, glad that I bought it and can use it for so long and get my moneys worth out of it. Overall its wonderful and I am so glad this is the travel system I got versus anything else.
