I love this product but it is a bit thick and may be a bit uncomfortable for others. I would recommend for toddlers and not babies.

I ordered these because the convertible car seat I ordered didn't come with shoulder padding over the straps and I hate them cutting into his neck, especially when he falls asleep in the car. These are very soft and well made. The price including shipping was more than I wanted to pay, but not a lot of options in black, which is what I wanted. I definitely recommend them.

Combi makes really excellent products. Their products are smart, safe, attractive and very easy to use. This was purchased as an extra base for the second car and is identical to the one that comes with the Shuttle 33. It is so easy to install correctly and has a smooth bottom to keep it from damaging your vehicle's seats.

This is the exact same base that comes with the Combi Shuttle 33 car seat. If you have more than one vehicle, this is a must-have product, unless you're into the repetition of constantly having to switch the base from vehicle to vehicle or have A.D.D. or something! ;-)

We are very happy with the combi shuttle 33. It is very safe for our son and very easy to install. The only complaint that I have is that the car seat is pretty heavy with a baby inside it. However, our son is big but at 6 months, we are already looking for the next car seat because he has outgrown this one.

Buy Evenflo Maestro Car Seat Booster

Customer Ratings:

I bought this car seat for my 3 1/2 year old daughter. She is 38 pounds and was running out of room in her convertable weight wise and I was feeling super anxious about not having a 5 point harness. So, I bought two of these car seats and installed one into my Jeep Grand Cherokee and one into my husbands Dodge Durango; they are so easy to install correctly and they are space savers compared to some of the other 5 point harness boosters. I was kind of bummed to see that the harness only went up to 50 pounds, but it gains 10 pounds on most convertable car seats. I also love how my daughters legs don't stick straight out anymore. In her old car seat the bottom was to deep and she couldn't really bend her knees so her feet were always resting on the back of the seat in front of her; with this car seat it's the right depth for her to bend her knees and hang her legs down the way she is supposed to sit. Another great thing about this seat is that the straps don't twist very easily, which is very nice. My duaghter loves the cup holders and calls this her cool big girl seat so all in all I would call this a win of a purchase.

We bought this seat for my 3 year old son several months ago, because we really needed a new one. I bought it because it looked comfortable and the cup holders were easy for him to get to on car trips, plus it was a really good price.

Fast forward to Monday, and my husband and son were in a head-on collision. The car was totaled, but my son was able to walk away with just a couple of marks from the belt restraints on his neck. I will be buying this seat again!

This was a top pick/ "Best bet" by IIHS (insurance institute for highway safety), was the best priced and also had a 5 point harness system that gave me ease of mind. Most of the top picks for booster seats were for booster seats that no longer have harness systems but given that booster seats are for 40 lb 4 year olds it would be adaquate. but since my children are 4 and 39 lbs and 2 & 1/2 and 36 lbs that wouldn't fit. The colors are awesome and I'd recomend this seat to anyone! (...)

Honest reviews on Evenflo Maestro Car Seat Booster

Pros:

-Fits my 4 year old son well.

-Love being able to use the 5-point harness up to 50 lbs. Haven't used it as a booster yet.

-Cinch to install using shoulder belt in Acura MDX. Snug installation.

-Light Weight.

-Son loves the cup holders.

-Narrow, so allows for more room in backseat. Fits well next to Graco Baby Seat and First years True Fit car seats which are WIDE.

-Seat sits evenly so sons legs can hang down normally and are not hitting the back of the front seat.

-No problem with slumping when sleeping.

-Great safety ratings

-Great price

Cons:

-Shoulder straps are positioned an inch narrower than previous car seats we have, which dig into my sons neck. We are using strap covers from another seat to take care of that. I think the car seat should come with them.

-Crotch belt is constantly sliding under my son when he gets in & we have to dig it out from under him. (Would be nice to have it velcro in the forward position so we didn't have to worry about it).

-Chest clasp can be hard to undo (seems like cheap plastic). (Pro: My son can't undo it)

-Husband always pinching his fingers when buckling the shoulder straps into the crotch belt.

Overall:

I like it, my son likes it, but I am in the market for another convertible booster seat for my 2 year old daughter and am not sure I will buy one of these for her. If I don't find anything comparable rating/price-wise, I will probably stick with this.

I've been installing and uninstalling car seats for almost 6 years now so I'm no novice. I have a new model SUV and have achieved tight fits with Britax roundabout, Britax marathon and Safety 1st Hybrid Go. Needed an additional toddler seat to provide more comfort for longer rides. Loved the light weight and comfort design features of the Evenflo. Got great ratings from consumer reports.

Ran into installation problems with both the LATCH and seat belt installation modes. The tether strap is a single strap (rather than a looped strap that forms a triangle when tethered) so there is a lot of horizontal play in the tether no matter how tight I made it. The LATCH strap hooks were difficult to hook on and also did not achieve that rock solid fit. No matter how much I cinched up on both the tether and the LATCH strap I could still move the seat around more than an inch. Same issue with the seat belt + tether installation. I think the primary flaw is the single tether strap which allows for too much play at the top of the seat.

Disappointed. Returning.

We chose to get the Graco Nautilus for our twins when they were 2. They're great carseats for harness but they're bulky taking up a lot of space and HEAVY. Also, they just switched to buckling with the car seatbelt and struggle constantly to buckle themselves because it is so bulky the seat belt locks up everytime they try which has left me searching for new boosters for them (meaning the $200 I spent to never buy another carseat was wasted). Our 2 year old is ready for an upgrade from his Graco My Ride carseat so I started shopping around again because (with recent developments, we decided against the Nautilus for him). I wanted a couple specific features in the carseat I bought for him which included high harness weight (65lbs), above regulation safety, and built in cup holders. Well this seat has all of that and then some. We just got it on Friday and although it too a little getting used to with the new harness straps that buckle on instead of clip onto the hooks in my car once I got the hang of it the seat will not budge because I can get it so tight. There are TWO built in cup holders (which it wonderful because when we travel we always need more room, one cup holder for food and one for cup) Also, the design is sleek so it gives us more room in our suburban for other kids (since we have 4 and babysit 2 and 5/6 are in carseats this extra space is a life saver), however there is still plenty of room for our sons behind in the seat to let him be comfortable without being squashed into the seat and it curves enough that when he falls asleep his head and body rest back against the seat instead of being left to slump forward. The padding is really good as well which is important when they are in it alot. The harness system that holds the kid in the seat is awesome too, most of evenflos carseats have a strange tightening system where it tightens on their chest which is a pain and gets twisted (we own one of these as a spare for the son we bought this for) but this one has the under seat system which is soooo much easier. The only two CONS that I have found with this seat so far is that the head rest seems pretty flimsy, maybe in future design it will sit back into the seat a little better making it more stable. Then the seat straps do sit a little close at the neck where it digs in if they move around even a little. He dosnt complain about this but we will be getting covers so that it sits on his neck instead of digging into his neck. For the price this is a great carseat and was exactly what I was hoping for (except for the tiny flaws).

Update:

Okay, so the last week we have been having problems getting my son out of his seat because the bottom buckle locked up. Well yesterday I literally had to unlatch the seat with my son in it and take the buckles out from the back to get my son out of the seat. Scared me ALOT to think my son was trapped in a carseat I spent $125 on. Contacted customer service at Amazon and they're sending me a replacement seat. If this happens again I will be getting a refund and finding another seat but am willing to give it another chance because overall it is a great seat. Hoping I got a defective buckle and do not have issues with the next one. Give an update in a while either way.

We also have the Maestro and decided to get this booster/carseat as a step up from that. It is a great car seat. It has alot more padding then the Maestro. In general I love the latch system, the cup holders and the head rest area. My daughter falls asleep in it, no problem. She rarely sleeps in the Maestro though.

This is a really nice car seat. I used this to replace a more expensive Sunshine Kids (Diono) Radian65SL that I had to move into another car. This car seat is your basic front facing car seat that supports harness support up to 65 lbs. What sets this car seat apart from others is that you really cant get a 65 lb 5-pt harness car seat close to the $100 price range that this one is offered at. It makes me wonder why isnt everyone getting this? I bought my Sunshine Kids car seat previously for its very narrow profile (fits 3 in a row in a medium sized car) and the STEEL support frame. This SecureKid uses a reinforced plastic frame and still has a somewhat narrow profile compared to other convertible car seats (have you noticed? some are like thrones and almost take up 2 whole passenger seats!). The padding on this car seat is adequate but definitely not super plush. As a side note, this car seat is very sporty and stylish but don't ever buy it for looks! More importantly make sure it installs securely in YOUR car.

ps-i bought this car seat from another website that I found to be cheaper when I realized amazon charged tax on this product.

Honest reviews on Evenflo Securekid 300 Loy Car Seat Booster

I have a 40 pound 23 month old and 40 pound 5 year old. The older one I was worried about switching out of her harness, and the younger one I wanted to keep in one obviously. I decided to go with this seat after viewing an online review of it. It's great. Both kids fit in perfectly with plenty of room to grow and I LOVE the latch clasps. It took me 2 minutes to unhook both seats and position them in a different car, they have a seat belt like unhooker. Also, when I do decide to switch the kids to seat belts, the positioner in this one is MUCH more safe looking than the other seats we had. The positioner wraps the seatbelt over the top of the shoulder like they're supposed to instead of laying wherever it feels like. Plus the kids like the drink holders. They're much better than the others that are removable and essentially pointless. The only downfall is that cups with wide bottoms won't fit in there, we just make sure to use those in the house and save our narrow bottom cups for the car.

I wanted another 5pt harness for my 4 and a 1/2 year old. The thought of putting him in a booster with just a seat belt was not appealing to me at all. The only down side to this car seat is the buckle can be hard for him to buckle himself. But it's a great size, easy to install and he loves the face that he has two cup holders. We also have a Nautilus and this is very similar in size and comfort.

We already owned a Britax Frontier 85, and needed a big kid seat for our second child and this one had just been announced, so we held off to purchase this one. It is Britax's answer to the Graco Nautilus, and by far superior. Clearly not the Frontier, less bells and whistles, no fancy locking mechanism for the seatbelt, cheaper fabirc, over all a more bare bones seat but 10x easier to install than a Nautilus, durable, and long lasting. Seeing as my 5 year old has yet to hit 35lbs, the lower weight limit of just 70lbs harnessed will be a non-issue. Unless you have bigger kids, this seat is more than plenty. If money were no option I would likely still buy this over the Frontier, and the green kiwi cover helps too so nice to have boy options other than blue, red, or black!

I needed a new seat for my small three year old, so she could easily get in and out by herself. It was just getting too cumbersome to get her in and out of the Britax Marathon, even though she was nowhere near the height or weight limits! I was having a hard time deciding between the Frontier 85, Frontier 90, and the Pioneer 70. After reading and watching the few reviews on the Pioneer 70, I went for it. It doesn't have the ClickTight (Frontier 90), HUGS, or EZ Buckle (Frontier 90), but after reading on Britax's site and on various forums about each of those features, I was okay with not having them. Installation was easy. My daughter loves her seat!

Britax always equals quality. This car seat is no exception. Amazon does not "up-charge" for the various color options. A huge plus IMHO. Absolutely love the kiwi green!!!

Honest reviews on Britax Pioneer 70 Harness-2-Booster Car Seat

When installed properly, the seat will hardly move a millimeter at the base OR the tippy top. I will absolutely agree with other reviewers about the disappointment that you can't use Latch for kids over 40 lbs. My son isn't yet over 40 lbs, but I wanted to start installing with the belt path so I didn't forget to switch it over when he crossed that threshold. The seat itself is pretty heavy, too.

That said, while installing with the belt path takes a couple tries to get used to, it's super easy once you've done it a couple times. And be SURE to use the rear anchor over the back of the seat, it really stabilizes the seat. When installed properly with the seatbelt locked (look at your car's manual to find how to lock the shoulder belt so it can't loosen) this carseat is very stable, hardly moves (what I've always loved about Britax seats they always feel SO sturdy when installed), and gives my 2.5 year old extremely tall son lots of extra leg room and cup holders! It also sits him up straighter than his previous seats, which he loves he can see out much easier.. though it does make it harder for him to nap in.

Overall, I love this seat and wish I could replace our other two Britax seats with this right now!

My 2 and a half year old son is Houdini. He has escaped from, literally, 5 of his car seats: Graco Nautilus (we had 2) Graco Smartseat all in one, Britax Boulevard (the old style, we had 2, ), . He outgrew his Chicco Keyfit (we loved and miss it!), and got too broad in the shoulders for his Britax Advocate (new style)

We loved our Frontier, and it was stolen from the truck. We were short on money, so we got a newer style Graco, and he is getting out of it. :-/

Now we are on car seat number 10. I played with the new Britax seats in Babies r Us, before I picked one. I'm going with this. Britax safety, at a MUCH smaller cost. I WISH I could have gotten this in January when our last Britax was stolen!

UPDATE: We HATE THIS car seat!!! The straps are crazy hard to tighten, the super tight fit I got the first day was a fluke, and there is already a broken part, less than 3 months in.

The convertible car seats have exterior integrated steal bars on each side, and the LATCH is fixed to those. One independent strap and buckle for each side. INSANELY easy for a perfect installation EVERY time! LOVED that style. But this has one strap, that goes behind the padding. The path for both Latch and seat belt are SO HIGH that getting a tight fit is nearly impossible. I have contacted Britax, to ask what gives!?

UPDATE AGAIN: Apparently, this car seat isn't compatible with our Ford Expedition. I've tried all the steps with Britax to get it installed properly, and it just doesn't install. We're craig's listing it, and using a Marathon G3 for now.

This is a truly awesome doo-dad for saving your arms while carrying your little one in the car carrier. I used mine from 1 month to 8 months (and now we've moved to a different car seat) and it never lost its soft, comfy thickness.

Something you may already have figured out, but I didn't, is that you can hook the baby dangling toys fromthe side rings. We used them constantly with our daughter. Because the dangly would often simply dangle in her face if placed directly on the side rings, we'd also connect the dangly toy through the side rings and then through the side of the car seat handle. That way the dangly would be out of her way but high enough on the handle to actually "dangle."

This is an extra that isn't absolutely critical but certainly does help in carrying a heavy car carrier + infant for several months.

Review of UppaBaby Mesa Carseat

Customer Ratings:

Like everyone else, we have a recent newborn and had placed an order for this product in January. Uppababy had some production issues, and supplies were limited. We were lucky enough to get this product through an Amazon seller. This product is awesome and well worth the wait.

We had borrowed the Greco car seat from some friends for a couple of weeks and the Mesa is so much nicer (albeit at a higher price tag). The installation is incredibly easy. For the latch system, it takes less than 30 seconds. I had to put it in a car with no latches (ie use the seat belt method). Although it took some time to figure it out, the warning systems on the base make sure you install it correctly. The material used for the seat are high quality. The shoulder straps move when adjusting the SIP. This saves a ton of time when fitting the seat for your baby. Lastly, there is an infant insert that can be confusing, but when you figure it out, the infant can be in the seat with little back pressure (which is nice as the bassinet can be cumbersome in some restaurants).

Also, we had some questions as the manual is confusing. Uppababy support was prompt and helpful in their replies.

Unfortunately, there are adapters for Vista's 2013 and earlier models.

Pros:

quick, easy, and safe install

narrow base, can be used with bucket seats

flat base (no need to protect your car seats

high quality fabric (much nicer than other high end models)

easy to adjust the seat (for most adjustments, takes less than a minute)

great customer service

Cons:

expensive

production issues

manual is a little confusing

need an adapter for the Vista

Summary: We are REALLY happy with this seat.

Update:

We have had this seat for a while now. My 2 big complaints deal with the canopy. It does not stay fully up. Also, the canopy did stain when water hit it. I just saw the UB you tube channel that you can wash it, so we will try that. However, we are overall happy with the seat. I did lower it one star because of this update.

It's a very good quality product but quite heavy for moms (father's opinion). The nicest thing about it is that you can use it on a Vista, and the car with or without base.

Best Summer Fuze Travel System with Prodigy Infant Car Seat Deals

Customer Ratings:

Received this stroller the other day with the infant seat in a travel system and I have to say right off the bat I was impressed by the way it looks even before using it! I got it in the Jet Set color Red and Black and it looks soooo nice! Very easy to put together, took me only a few minutes and the instructions book was very straight forward and easy to understand. I have had strollers in the past take forever to put together and be big and bulky and this was neither of those things!

Trying it out it was very easy to manage through the streets of Los Angeles, I live right in the city, and also while holding a dog leash. I have a large dog so it worked with everything!The bottom also holds bags so you don't have to worry about cramming something big into the basket it will all fit! The cup holder is a nice touch as well, many strollers I have had in the past did not have one and I have bought one to put on that usually ended up spilling my coffee all over the place. This cup holder was steady and sturdy for me!

The infant seat was a breeze to install and it lets you know when you've got it right, which is nice! Also the straps do not get tangled, and with other models this can be a real pain.

I will definitely be recommending this to other moms I know along with the infant car seat!

Disclosure: I was given a free sample of this product to review. However, my opinions are my own.

I have been using my Fuze Travel System with Prodigy Infant Car Seat for two weeks now and I am so happy with it! Out of the box it was SIMPLE to assemble...honestly it's fool proof! The display on the base is awesome and made me realize just how improperly I was installing previous bases yikes! Every time I move my car seat to another car I am stressed that it's not secure; I hate to admit it but my husband is just stronger and our old seat was much more stable when he fastened it...not with the prodigy! Gone are the days of struggling with a strap and pulling and tugging until my hands are red...the ratchet is a game changer! Let's not forget the car seat material...it feels like silk in there; I love knowing that my daughter is comfy cozy! The Fuze car seat adapter was a cinch to install and the stroller's multi-position handlebar is really handy when you're short like me. The stroller has a large basket, which is sooo nice; but the really great feature, which I discovered yesterday, is that there is a spring mechanism on the basket...when I saw it I literally called my husband over and yelled "LOOK AT THIS!" He wasn't quite as excited ☺ I was ALWAYS struggling to pull my diaper bag out from the basket with my oldest daughter...the spring will make this so much easier!

After assembling the system, I was reading about different features, I thought the "pedicure saver" brake was kind of hokey....ummm it's not! I broke out my favorite fall boots the other day and noticed the toe was all scuffed up...I didn't realize why until I went to release the break on my fuse and muscle memory prompted me to put my toe under the brake; then it dawned on me that is I where my scuffs came from...so thank you Summer Infant for keeping my shoes scuff free!

Two minor things to note; first, I noticed a bit of an odor to the material of the car seat when I pulled it out of the box but by the end of the night it was gone so don't fret if you notice the same. I would never let my daughter sit in something that I felt posed a hazard and we used it the next day. Second, the Fuze comes with a cup holder (excellent!) however, you have to take it off when collapsing the system or else it flies off. No biggie, I just store it in the basket and grab it when I need it. I have to mention that I was given this travel system and asked to use and review it; that being said the opinions of this review are my own and not influenced by any party.

The instructions to put this stroller together were very simple to follow. The car seat was ready to go right out of the box.. Even the batteries were already in!

The car seat is easy to install with the digital screen and green smiley faces, letting me know the base was secure in my car.

The stroller can be used 3 ways with the car seat, forward, and rear facing. I am currently using the stroller with the included adapter that holds the cars seat. The main thing I wanted out of this stroller was the rear facing function so I can see my son. I haven't been able to use it yet, but I have put the seat on and played around with it and I think it will work just as it should.

Other than that, this stroller is lightweight and folds easy with the adapter or seat on. I usually take the cup holder off and store it in the basket. When I unfold it, the cup holder is easy so put back on.

Honest reviews on Summer Fuze Travel System with Prodigy Infant Car Seat

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The stroller is lightweight, seems to be well made, nice quality material, the two-year-old found it comfy, but she wanted her own cup holder! The brake hit dad's foot a few times, so designed more for mom's feet, perhaps? With the younger baby in the car seat, the seat was a bit heavy for the mom to carry,. She questioned as to whether the car seat can face forward when the baby is older. Seems to be well designed, but maybe needs tweaking for a couple issues. All things considered, will help transport the grandchildren safely.

Overall, I think the Fuze Travel System is a great system and would recommend it to anyone. Below are my pros and cons.

Pros:

Extremely easy to put together and I am not handy at all. I had it done in less than 10 minutes and didn't really need to follow the directions at all.

Car seat was extremely easy to install following the icons. I know my son is safe and secure. I also love that the straps adjust as my son grows!

The handle bar adjusts which is perfect for my family as I am 5'1" and my husband is 6'1".

The reclining seat is perfect for when my son is napping. The seat is also large enough for older children. Both my 3 year old and 6 month old love the seat.

The basket underneath is roomy enough for my diaper bag and all my purchases when I am out shopping!

I love the fact that you can move the seat to make the child forward facing or rear facing if they are younger and you want to keep an eye on them.

For being a larger stroller, it is extremely light weight and easy to navigate over all terrain. I have used it on grass, pavement and bumpy dirt roads without a problem. It also folds up very nicely and doesn't take up too much room in my trunk.

Cons:

I wish there was more than 1 cup holder or another space up top for me to use. When taking longer walks, I like to have my cell phone/keys near me. With this stroller, other than the cup holder, your keys, phone and other items need to go in the mesh bag area on the back of the seat. When you are using the infant seat adaptor, there is no mesh area and all you have to use is the one cup holder or bottom basket.

Often times you have to remove the cup holder when folding the stroller or the cup holder almost gets pushed off when a folds. Not a huge deal but you have to remember to put it back on the next time you want to use it.

Discount Diono Grip It Car Seat Gripper, Grey

Customer Ratings:

I'm buying a second of these for our van. I like it because it fits well, is a light color, and grips instead of sliding like a lot of cars protectors. We also never use the mesh holders like we have on one of our other car seat protectors so we don't miss that. I also wanted to comment that there is a strap that holds this up to the back of the seat of your car so it won't fall down if you just have a booster or something like that.

My husband just got a new VW Jetta TDI and not only wanted a cover to protect the driver seat, since he sometimes gets dirty at work, but also needed a protector for under our son's car seat. It works perfectly in both duties. It's a snug fit under the carseat and as a seat cover for the front, it fits perfectly. It's so easy to install and take off (which is an important feature for the front seat) We're very pleased!

We just purchased a 2011 Toyota Sienna and were interested in protecting the leather. This product does a great job and it is also a material that is non slip. Simple to install and delivers the protection needed with 3 car seats in there. I highly recommend it.

Honest reviews on Diono Grip It Car Seat Gripper, Grey

I picked this up (or an older version) at a local high-end baby specialty store in 2007-2008. It worked OK in my 2001 Audi A4 with gray leatherette interior, with our Britax Boulevard convertible car seat, and Chicco Keyfit infant car seat. I should note that the flimsy straps meant to connect the top of the protector to the headrest didn't last long. But it wasn't a big deal since the convertible car seat holds it in place just fine, esp. given how tight I install our seats (with essentially no movement in any direction). And some reviewers have noted this product might be a little too small for some car seats, but mine has been big enough to protect the leather in my 2009 Nissan Murano SL AWD from both our Britax Boulevard and now our new Britax Frontier 85 SICT harness booster --possibly the largest car seat on the market? Regarding safety and fit, I see no problem with this seat protector whatsoever. It is thin and held in place very stable, and my car seats don't budge an inch, when installed properly. As for protecting the seat --the primary role of this device-I have not had any scratches or anything, but I have no idea whether I would have without the protector. I can tell you that my leather back seat in my Murano is fairly badly indented from the past 3 years of a tightly installed Britax Boulevard. So don't expect this seat protector to protect against that, though it's probably unreasonable to expect such from any car seat protector that's thin enough to maintain the safe, tight fit of the car seat, I'd wager.

This is a cheaper product but it works quite. If you want something that will totally stop car seat indentions this is not it. We had them in for a couple of weeks then had to take them all out and there was indention on the cloth. It does grip well and protects from the grim, drinks and food that come with small kids (or at least our small kids). We would not replace these as we are happy with them and they work for our needs which are manly a desire to protect from the "icky stuff" on our cloth seats. We would also buy them again.

My husband and I went shopping for a travel system and orignally picked out the Forcaster Fast Action Fold system. He loved the one handed fold, but I was not happy about the design of the basket on the bottom, it was small and made funny. But it was super easy so I went with it. One day just browsing Walmart.com I ran across the Fast Action Fold DLX Jacqueline and was immediately drawn to the colors. Walmart.com had it advertised for $183.99, only $5.00 more than what I paid for the Forcaster and this one came with the snugride 30 carseat. Checked here on Amazon and it was $199.99, so I put it in my wishlist at the other site. TO my surprise when I went back to purchase later that night they were sold out online. I was so disappointed, but I checked Amazon again before giving up, and to my surprise again Amazon had changed the price from $199.99 to $183.99 the same price as Walmart.com. I purchased it immediately and could not be happier. Amazon.com is great! First, Amazon stated it would not be delivered for 1-2 months with an approximate delivery date of Oct 24 Nov 9. I received my travel system October 9th!!! Second, it is so easy to assemble. My sister put it together in what seemed like 15 minutes, after reading the instructions. Third, the pattern is beautiful for a little girl, but its not to girly for dad to push the stroller. The stroller turns smoothly and easily manuevered with one hand, of course that is without a juicy baby in it, but it is very light. The carseat is light weight as well and the best part is that it is so easy to attach to the in car base and stroller. No struggling to latch on or remove, and the one hand fold is amazing. And by the way the basket on the bottom is Huge!!! I am so happy I was able to get the Graco FastAction Fold DLX Travel System, Jacqueline and at such a great price!!! I thank Amazon for their competitive pricing, great communication, and fast delivery.

If anyone reading this review is considering this Travel system, I highly recommend it. I am a mother of two already and I must admit this is the easiest stroller I have ever had to fold and unfold. A must have for mom and baby... Thank you

I have been really happy with this car seat/stroller so far. My daughter was 4 weeks premature, weighing 5 lbs and 4 ounces at hospital discharge. We were able to adjust the seat straps, and she still fit snug and securely in the seat. The built in head support was greatno need to purchase an additional support. The seat very easily goes into and out of the base. It's also very easy to snap into the stroller. My husband really likes the additional sun shade built into the stroller. When we go out, we can pull together both shades to protect her from the sun, etc., but can still keep on eye on her due to the cut out screen. The under seat basket is spacious. I was a little skeptical about the paisley pattern at first, but once it arrived, and I saw it in person, I really like it.

As insignificant as it seems, the parent cup holders are GREAT. My husband always has a bottled water or drink with him, and the cup holders are used every time we use the stroller. The handles have a foam layer that is comfy.

We've only had one "problem" with the stroller... my husband has a long walking stride, and he accidently kicked the brake lock while walking one time. This immediately caused the wheel to lock and turn sharply.

Advicego ahead and buy an extra base when you purchase the stroller.

Me and my fiancée have looked and looked for the stroller that we really want. Every time we "think" we found the one, it was either too much or just not to our liking. Once we came across this stroller, it was the one. The design isn't "too" girly, just right! What made this one different is it has a pretty design that we love, has a large storage basket, two deep cup holders (for parents) and a one-second fold.

I did think that the stroller was going to be too big for our little trunk, but we were wrong. Surprisingly the stroller folds up small enough to put in my trunk and still leave me almost half my trunk. I am very happy about that. The car seat is just perfect. Im happy that its a matching set. It fits snug with the shoulder seat belt (we have a too old of a car to use the clip hooks). I couldn't be happier with this stroller set.

Honest reviews on Graco FastAction Fold Classic Connect DLX Travel System, Jacqueline

We bought our combo at Babies R Us trade in event. I love the car seat, it was very easy to adjust, install and carry. It's easy to clean, although we really didn't need to except a wipe down once in awhile. We did buy a padded insert for our daughter until she was at least 3 mos old. The padding isn't super but it's sufficient.

The stroller is great with the fast action feature. Talk about swift and easy to carry when you're done with it. We didn't use thie stroller much until she was too heavy to carry in the car seat but it's sooo nice to just plop the car seat in the stroller and go. The straps in the stroller are awesome! So flipping easy to get my daughter in and out. I highly recommend buying the strap pads though. The cargo carry area underneath the stroller is plentiful too. You can store a large diaper bag easily under there. It's not the smoothest ride (plastic wheels) but this isn't meant for hiking or 4x4'ing. I was going to sell the stroller to Once Upon a Child when we got our Bob jogger stroller but decided this is definitely worth keeping.

I can't say enough about this stoller-car seat combo. The fast action feature on the stroller seals the deal to make this a must buy. The only downfall that I saw was the lack of padding in the car seat and padding for the straps (very minor issues and easily resolved).

I am a mother of four. I am short and little. With every child i have gotten a new stroller. This stroller by far met my expectations! Its easy to unfold/fold/load and go. We get compliments ever where we go. Fabric washes up like new and is easy to take apart and put back together.my other strollers are price comparable to this one but this stroller is all around my favorite! Light but VERY sturdy,easy to function,cute pattern, priced just right what more could a small mother of four ask for!

Reviews of The First Years Magical Sounds Soft Potty Seat

Customer Ratings:

My daughter loves this potty and it has made potty training so easy for us especially since she loves Minnie mouse :)

(This is actually DarkLock "KG~"'s wife.)

For those who don't have time to read a long review, I'll give a simple list of pros and cons.

Pros:

Padding

Handles

Protective pads provided (place on underside of potty to protect your toilet seat)

Pretty little chime (when button pressed)

Easily portable (compared to some other potty seats)

Good for round seats (only okay for elongated...)

Easier to clean than some padded seats

Cons:

quality (questionable)

May shift if used with elongated seat

Does not have any kind of lock (some potty seats can lock onto the toilet seat to insure stability/safety)

Harder/more time consuming to clean than hard seats

Now for the detailed review:

I was really looking forward to receiving this potty seat. The photo makes it look so beautiful.

The first thing I noticed when the potty arrived was the color. In the display photo, the seat looks a little more purple than the actual product. It is closer to the pink color of the handles; although there is purple in it (the castle and leaves are purple). It also looks more shiny and smooth in the picture. (I realize that the color may vary...and also that the shiny look probably had a lot to do with the lighting when the photograph was taken...but it was still surprising to me).

This was disappointing, but not a big deal, since I cared more about functionality than anything else. Which leads me to the next issue...

This particular one was damaged. The seam on the inner part of the seat was torn open (both in the front and the back. I was able to see what looked like cardboard and foam on the inside. I was very surprised to see this (I guess I usually have pretty good luck in avoiding damaged goods).

Even more disappointed now, I went online to find out how to return the item.

On a positive note, I had no problems with Amazon. The product arrived when expected and the return process was pretty much easy and stress free.

That really helped encourage me to try again. Even though the product wasn't as good as I expected, I read in a review that it worked with elongated toilet seats, and I was having the hardest time finding a padded potty seat with handles that fit elongated seats. So, needless to say, I really wanted this to work out.

Once I started the return process (actually more of an exchange...but it was called something else...), Amazon sent me another seat (even before I sent this one back)! Granted, I would be charged for both seats if I didn't return the first potty seat within 30 days...but that seemed reasonable to me.

When the second potty seat arrived, I was relieved to see that the seams were good. As for the song that plays when the button is pressed, it's more like a chime; just a short melody. I know a reviewer mentioned this and thought his seat may have been defective, but both of the ones I received were like this. Now to the last issue...

A different reviewer said this works with elongated seats. I guess that's true, as long as you're using a hard seat (like you're supposed to) and don't mind it shifting from front to back a bit. If your child hasn't had any previous negative experiences with the potty/a potty seat, this amount of movement might not be a problem. However, due to...experiences which I (and the instructions) was against...my daughter became afraid of using the potty.

(I was asked to use this on top of a padded toilet seat. Do not do this. It is unsafe/unstable. Every time I had to shift my daughter or she moved on her own, the seat moved. One time the seat ended up on the floor and my daughter's foot almost touched toilet water. Yuck! And sadly, during all the commotion, I unintentionally pressed the button. So after that, to my daughter, the pretty sounding melody actually became haunting. =(

On a side note: With a different potty seat, a toy and treats for incentives, she's doing much better. She'll walk to the potty herself when I ask her to and try to climb onto it on her own! Haha (she's tall for her age, but still only 15½ months...and we don't have a step stool for her, so you can imagine, for her to actually succeed in her efforts would be quite a feat.)

Anyways, since we would need to purchase a hard (elongated) toiled seat regardless...we found one that closes quietly and has a child seat attached (there is a magnet in the child seat and the lid of the toilet, so you don't have to worry about the child seat resting on your back. A definite plus! =))

It has no padding and no handles...but I don't ever have to worry about it moving around (and neither does my daughter).

I'll admit, my rating is influenced by my first experience (which may have just been a rare defective product), but overall I feel my rating is fair.

On another side note, I'll be keeping the (undamaged) First Years Disney Potty Seat so that when my daughter is further along with her training I'll have something to take with me for use in public washrooms. Most of them have hard seats and many are round...so I'm sure I'll get some use out of it then. In the meantime, it's hibernating in the closet. =)

My daughter loves this, every time she is done going she pushes the cheer button and smiles. Hey if it entertains and is a good fit for the toilet and her, there is not much I could ask for.

Honest reviews on The First Years Magical Sounds Soft Potty Seat

Bought this after my son decided to wear his cheap one on his head, bless my child, and it got stuck and had to be cut off... he loves mickey mouse so i thought this would be great... He LOVES it... and has actually been trying to go to the potty again.... only thing I wish is that it said/sang more then "hip hip horray!"

I bought this is the store and the sounds are cool, but I noticed when I got it, the opening is smaller than a different potty seat we already had.

This one is cushier, and "cooler" looking, but my son has developed a sensitivity in his privates. And in the last day or two he refuses to sit on it.

I think it's because when you sit on it, or press down on it with your hand, you'll notice the plastic pushes into where the child's flesh would be.

So I think the plastic is rubbing against his tender flesh and hurting him. This thing is going back to the store! Not worth the money, or the potential pain it may cause your boy child.

Reviews of Baby Buddy 2 Pack Secure-A-Toy

Customer Ratings:

These are great little straps. They aren't very long, but that is to help prevent strangulation hazards. They're perfect for attaching toys or teething rings to the stroller, car seat handle, etc. The snap is strong enough that a baby can't undo it. Each strap has multiple spots where you can fasten it, so you can make it shorter or longer.

I typically use BooginHead pacifier straps to attach toys, but at nearly $5 each that gets pricey. These Baby Buddy straps are much more economical for the purpose. They are actually made in the USA too, so that makes me feel better when the baby sticks them in her mouth.

Update: My daughter is 3 years old now, and we are still using our original set of these straps to attach her sippy cup, snack cup, etc to the stroller and car seat. Who would have thought that such an inexpensive product would be useful for so long? :)

These are great. Those Velcro or clip straps are only good until they figure out they can rip them right off. My boy is super strong but he can't get these snap straps off. Only wish they were a little longer, but that won't deter me from giving them 5 stars.

The length is perfect for attaching pacifiers (at least the kind with handles, like Avent) I just put the other end through the snap or button hole on his shirts.

I also love that they come two to a package, are inexpensive and come in a variety of colors. I highly recommend them. Wish I had gotten them earlier on instead of wasting money on the other straps that now just sit in a drawer.

These little straps work well for keeping snack cups and sippy cups off the floor. I used these to replace links which my one year old could easily undo. There isn't much to them, just a strap and some snaps, so you could easily make your own. But why bother when these are so cheap?

Honest reviews on Baby Buddy 2 Pack Secure-A-Toy

Does your baby LOVE to play the "drop it on the floor and watch Mommy pick it up for me" game? You're right, it is fun to play but I don't want to play it when we're out shopping and I have to clean the toy every time it gets dropped on the floor. This band really helped keep toys attached. Just don't plan on using it to hold larger or heavier items because the strap won't hold it. Overall, great buy!

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Baby Buddy 2 Pack Secure-A-Toy

My baby is 7 months old and does not yet have teeth. Within a few hours of total use she managed to fray one end of the strap so that the snap could have ended up in her mouth. The snap has jagged edges under the nylon webbing and this could have been very bad if she had swallowed it. We keep a close eye on her but I never would have thought a simple strap like this could be dangerous. I will not be using the other 3 straps (I bought 2 packs)!.
