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!

Discount Diono Grip It Car Seat Gripper, Grey
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.

Super easy to use and doesn't take up additional space at all. I use it with my Chicco Keyfit 30 and it works perfectly to attach it to the Cybex Onyx.Best Deals for Cybex Infant Car Seat Adapter
We have a cybex stroller and a Safety first car seat. It was required to use the adapter for children under a certain weight/age. I love this stroller and adapter. It's fast, easy, and reliable. Sure it would be easier to buy an all in one combo stroller car seat set, but this was great considering we recieved the stroller and car seat as gifts. Definetly get one of these strollers to use the adapter with!Friday, March 7, 2014
Cheap Graco SnugRide 30 Infant Car Seat

In anticipation of the arrival of our third child, we bought this car seat to use in our sedan. We didn't want to buy a new car or invest in all new car seats to make that happen. We started shopping around and figure that a 17in. wide infant car seat will do. I believe this is the only one that fits our need. We are able to use our Britax Marathon, a Graco booster and this infant car seat all in one row. This car seat works out perfectly for us plus we don't need to compromise on quality or style. It is a well made and designed car seat and the price is very reasonable.
Please note that you also need to extend the leg straps which can be found directly underneath where baby's butt sits.
Think of it this way -it is a 5-point harness and has 5 points that can be adjusted:
the 2 shoulder straps can be taken out and re-thread, the 2 leg straps can be taken out and extended, and the crotch strap/buckle can be moved outward.
To adjust the leg straps, flip the seat over and you'll see two metal clasps. Take them out and adjust and replace the metal clasps. This will give baby much more room! If this is confusing, refer to your user manual (or find the manual online if you don't have it anymore). It would be too bad if people stopped using the seat earlier than they needed to!
I haven't had any problems with this seat. It fits my baby well and I feel safe using it.

After 9 months of using the car seat I wanted to give another update. The car seat has been through thick and thin with lots of traveling through trains, busses and planes and it is surviving great. My biggest complaint is that we already have to buy a convertible car seat. At 9months she is 19lbs (far from 30lbs) but 28.2 inches and she can just squeeze in it with a onesie. If you live in a colder environment like us, subtract inches for warmer layers and even more if you want to use a coat! At 28.2 inches we are struggling with bending arms to get the straps on. Not a problem if you baby isn't going to be tall.

Best Deals for Graco SnugRide 30 Infant Car Seat
We are expecting a girl but wanted to get a car seat that was neutral but so many looked more boyish. This one did the job. The colors are great. Like most graco snugride 30's the carseat handle and the canopy are a tight fit but work. The adjustable strap to tighten and snug them in is in the front which is great.**

Honest reviews on Graco SnugRide 30 Infant Car Seat
I absolutely love this car seat. It looks just as it is pictured, comes with head/neck support cushion. The material was soft and fuzzy, very comfortable for a little baby. It is side crash tested and the base is adjustable, you can recline it at 3 different levels. I highly recommend this it item.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Graco SnugRide 30 Infant Car Seat
I am about to have my third child and I wanted a safe yet compact car seat. This one is very nice and material seems amazing. Worst thing about it is that it is heavier than my old infant car seat but I assume it's because of the extra padding in it. It will just cause me to work my arm muscles more when baby gets here.Thursday, January 23, 2014
Cheap Lilly Gold by Triple Play 0-9701-NS/Z NeatSeat Sit n' Stroll Cover
I had the Sit n Stroll for my son & loved it...but using it as a toddler, there were lots of spills and after several washes the original velvety blue cover was pretty beat. Now that I have a baby girl and needed to travel, I considered replacing the cover (expensive and not too pretty) or buying a new Sit n Stroll.
Since I am not sure how much we'll travel, I decided to get this cover -basically to hide the worn seat beneath and "spruce it up" without the expense of replacing the whole chair. Generally, I like it.
Pros: Eye catching, fun design, lightweight fabric, easy to put on, avoids expense of replacement, and if I had this all along the original cover would probably be in much better shape. On our 5 day trip we got dozens of compliments and questions about our cool zebra stroller/car seat.
Cons: There is a crazy decal at the top of the seat (with their logo) that feels very plastic-y and kinda gross. Eventually my baby's head will reach it and it seemed like it would feel nasty so I peeled the sucker off. That took a long time but I felt it was worth it in the end. The fabric is flannel and the zebra print is just on top -I have a feeling it may not hold up to lots of washings.
Overall, since this is a limited use item (only for travel), I feel like it was a good deal to get the cover. It made the seat seem new & fresh without buying a new one. The Sit n Stroll was a godsend for traveling with my son (used it 3+ years on at least a dozen trips) and I wish I had this cover then.

I used it to change the look of the stroller, or when the original needs cleaning, needs a little more padding so I place it over the original for added comfortBest Deals for Lilly Gold by Triple Play 0-9701-NS/Z NeatSeat Sit n' Stroll Cover
My sit n stroll is nine years old. The writing is rubbing off the sticker. It doesn't really fit the older model. Should've just bought the replacement seat. Not satisfied.Honest reviews on Lilly Gold by Triple Play 0-9701-NS/Z NeatSeat Sit n' Stroll Cover
We have owned a sit and stroll for 10 years now and are on the fourth baby to use our favorite stroller. We replaced the upholstery once before and it was super easy to install. At first I thought this item was upholstery it is not it is a cover for the upholstery. This cover we purchased will help to protect the seat upholstery and is easy to clean up and wash. However, with this baby we thought we would need to give our stroller a facelift and a new cover was a great idea. It was cute and soft for our 18 month old. When I contacted Lily Gold they were really great and willing to help me get my sit and stroll looking just the way we wanted it for our baby. They have new replacement upholstery on its way. Now we have the best of both worlds a cute easy to wash cover that will keep the upholstery in great condition! We would love to pass this wonderful baby stroller on and will continue to recommend it to all our friends, family, and yes even the moms we meeet at the grocery store! We are looking forward to another great run with this product! Thank you Lilly Gold!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Lilly Gold by Triple Play 0-9701-NS/Z NeatSeat Sit n' Stroll Cover
We love the sit n stroll but wanted to dress it up a bit for our so cute and stylish granddaughter. This did it. I do wish it held up better with wear and washing but it is used alot and our grandbaby is messy and constantly in motion. We get lots of favorable comments on this item.Thursday, November 28, 2013

I was looking for a new stroller for my upcoming third child. I had a Graco Metrolite for my first two children which I liked very much. I purchased it in 2005 and it's held up since, but the Metrolite is showing some wear so hubby and I decided we should invest in a new light weight stroller. I originally thought I wanted a smaller version of a full sized stroller (like the Jeep Cherokee Sport Stroller) but after a number of visits to Universal Studios and Disneyland, I realized how much I enjoyed having 1) a big basket to store jackets, snacks, the diaper bag, etc., 2) having cup holders for our drinks, and 3) a full reclining seat for the little one to take a nap. And especially now more than ever since we'll have 3 children (more stuff to carry in the stroller!).
Some of the higher end brands didn't have a big enough basket for us, so we eliminated those options. We decided to stick w/ Graco since it's been a reliable brand for us. We tried out several Graco models, and found them frustrating to fold down. Hubby and I had difficulty using the rolling mechanism on the handles of most models, and were seeking the similar fold down style on the Metrolite (a push button/handle on the parent cup holder). The "Fast Action Fold" model also proved to be somewhat of an annoyance for us to fold down also. Alas, I came across the UrbanLite model and saw that it had the features I was seeking! I tried going to several baby stores to see and try out this stroller in person, but none of the stores I went to carry this model. So in faith, I purchased this and hoped it met my expectations.
The stroller just arrived this past weekend, and I do have to say the UrbanLite has exceeded my expectations!
Pros:
1) Easy to assemble My 38 week pregnant self was able to easily put this stroller together.
2) The basket is big and roomy!
3) It has microfiber detailing, makes the stroller feel more luxurious
4) The canopy can detach and you can adjust it up/down to block the sun's rays from baby
5) Reclines flat (most other Graco models I tried out don't seem to do that)
6) The Vance pattern is nice and neutral good for boys or girls
7) Lightweight and compact It weighs under 20 lbs, and it actually folds up smaller than my old Metrolite and takes up less space in my trunk
8) Handle is adjustable for shorter/taller parents
9) Comes with the matching SnugRide 30 Infant car seat, which also feels luxurious compared to my old SnugRide.
10) You can lock the front wheels to easily maneuver over gravel and grass. Neat feature!
11) It has the same fold down feature as the Metrolite!
Cons:
1) No peek-a-boo window in the canopy
2) The seat can only adjust to 3 levels (upright, slight recline, and full/flat recline)
3) When you raise the seat again after a recline postion, the side covers bunch up. You have to go in from the front end and push the fabric back down. This is a bit annoying, but overall a minor inconvenience for me.
Overall, I would highly recommend this stroller! So glad I was able to find this model available on Amazon!
Pros:
+ Baby adores her car seat and the infant insert gives her good head support.
+ The rotating canopy is so useful to ensure that baby is always shaded, and the stroller and car seat canopies overlap to protect from rain or bright sunlight.
+ The basket is big and stores our large diaper bag, plus a blanket, plus my purse with space to spare.
+ The pattern is great, and baby loves to stare at the geometric pattern on the inside of the canopy.
+ The seat of the stroller reclines flat, and the flap at the bottom can fold up to form a bassinet.
+ The recline function is a pair of metal bars which are squeezed together to change the angle. I found this mechanism much easier to use than the "drawstring" on other Graco models.
+ Easy to fold up just squeeze the mechanism on the handle and step on the edge of the basket.
+ I liked that the stroller was able to stand upright when folded, and the tray table etc. need not make contact with the ground.
+ My husband is a foot taller than I am, and the adjustable handle for the stroller makes things easy for both of us.
Cons:
Assembly was generally easy, but we struggled to close one of the sets of poppers that attach the material to the storage basket. We decided this wasn't worth the hassle of returning the product and we eventually managed with two people and a pair of pliers...
The seat of the stroller needs to be reclined for the car seat to click into place, but this makes it difficult to reach into the storage basket.
The car seat clicks into the stroller, but there are also some elastic straps that have to be placed into slots on each side. The extra two steps can be a pain.
Undoing the car seat straps is often difficult. I understand that a child cannot be able to take of his/her own seatbelt, but I struggle.
Overall, I'm happy with the product and would recommend it to others!
We had recently purchased this for our new born. The wheels allow great flexibility and the stopper helps in locking the wheels in various position.
The car seat is really very comfortable with extra cushion and our son really loves sleeping in the car seat. The color is really cool and when the sunshade is put he keeps looking at the colors in it.
From the cons point of view there is no peek a boo window but it really does not matter when compared to the other features of the stroller.
It it slightly priced on the higher side when compared to other strollers/car seat set.

I really like this travel system. Pros: it's lite, easy to fold, folds relatively flat, fits in the trunk of my Corolla nicely, infant seat goes to 30 lbs., neutral colors, nice fabric, easy to put together, rolls smoothly, adjustable handle. Cons: storage basket doesn't drop down for access, no peakaboo window. Otherwise it suits its purpose just fine. I would recommend this to a friend.
