We originally went to Target and tried out the strollers there. We planned on getting the Eddie Bauer Travel System (which runs around $200.) But after reading some mixed reviews that said the main drawback with that system was the heaviness and the latch system complicatedness (and as my husband and I are both short and had also been warned about complicated seatbelts), I wasn't sure how a heavy system would suit us. So I did more research and found the Safety 1st system. It's gotten good reviews for safety, looks nice, was $70 less, and doesn't weigh much. Plus, it has 3 wheels, which seemed nice for handling.
So we ordered this system; I was apprehensive while waiting for it, because what if it came and I hated it? But after it arrived and my husband set it up in a manner of minutes. It's super simple, looks great, folds up easier than any stroller I tried out, and the 3 wheels make the handling amazing. The fact that the wheels are large is great, too, because you get a super smooth ride (my sister put our dachshund in and wheeled him around and he had a great time!)
Don't be put off by the fact that it's not a huge brand name like Graco, or that it's not sold at every store. I was put off at first by the fact that I'd have to pay shipping for such a big package, but I ordered it through Amazon from BabyAge (they had $8 flat shipping). Yes, the cupholders are a bit small, but honestly? If I was shopping and watching a baby I doubt the cupholders would be my first concern. And yes, there aren't a lot of bells and whistles, but the tradeoff is the light weight and simple design. I'd definitely recommend the Safety 1st Travel System!!
Absolutely love this stroller - car seat is fine September 8, 2007

We looked at a lot of strollers and were considering the Graco Metrolite and a couple of others. It is extremely light weight, very well built, and has all kinds of great features. We weren't sure about the tri-wheeled set-up until we played with this one in a store. Now, we can't imagine having the quad set-up.
- The larger wheels have made it excellent for long walks around our neighborhood.
- It folds very, very easily
- It folds in a way that keeps the wheels down and everything else up, out of the dirt and wet ground.
- It looks much more stylish than all the big plasticky Graco's and other strollers in this price range
The car seat is fine, but nothing special. The sun shade is a little flimsy. We were also a little concerned at the rescinded Consumer Reports article. It turns out that they were testing at much higher speeds than intended, but this one still didn't do as well as a couple of others.
Nice and lightweight! March 18, 2008

After reading hundreds of reviews and going back and forth between the Graco Metrolight, Graco Stylus, and the Chicco Cortina I found this travel system here on Amazon. What worried me most about the Graco and Chicco systems were the weight. We tried them out in the store and the car seat by itself was horribly heavy - without an added 10 pound baby inside! I was also worried about how the stroller would fit, even folded, in the trunk of my VW Jetta.
This system seemed to address all my concerns based on the other reviews, but I was still nervous waiting for it to arrive since it isn't one of the well-known brand names and the price was much lower than the others I was considering.
Simply put, this system is awesome. The big, three-wheeled setup is easy to push and maneuver. (It actually has a dual front wheel which helps keep it very stable.) All of the controls are easy and either lock or audibly snap in place so you know it's secure. When folded, it's compact and still easy to put into the trunk since all three wheels stay on the ground - keeping all the soft bits elevated and clean which I really like. It fits with room to spare in my trunk.
The car seat is lightweight and easy to carry. It took my husband about 20 minutes to assemble the stroller and install the car seat base. The controls for releasing the car seat from both the base and the stroller and the control to collapse the stroller are easy to use which is nice for first time parents like us.
There aren't crazy bells and whistles with this system, but it's sturdy, lightweight and maneuverable which are worth more to me than some of the other add-ons or a bigger cupholder. (Which, by the way, a standard 20oz coke bottle fits into fine. You might have to skip the jumbo bucket of drink at the fast food place, but otherwise they're fine.) The canopies are easy to unfold and retract and even with the seat all the way back you can easily reach into the basket compartment on the bottom, which is a complaint often mentioned with the pricier systems.
The only caveat I have for this system is the color, and it actually works for us but we were surprised. From the pictures I expected more of a silver and black, but the system is baby blue and black. We're having a boy so it's okay, but I would have preferred a more gender neutral or at least a different color than baby blue. It's a very minor complaint but I thought I should mention it so other parents wouldn't be surprised.
In short I couldn't be happier with my choice of the Safety 1st Acella Sport travel system. I can't wait for our little one to arrive in a few weeks so we can tool around the neighborhood in style!

I was going to order from amazon but i found a lower price on web and ordered this.
If i were the CEO of saftey 1, i would have sacked the marketing VP. the product looks much better than the minimal photos. I will put up some photos soon.
there is one ambiguous instruction in manual. So it took 25 minutes to assemble which should ideally take 15. [ i had to remove the wheels and reassemble after finding the brakes didn't work ... as i had put them the wrong way.]
But once that was corrected, by wife who was very apprehnsive on buying it, was visibly very happy.
With sleek aluminium frame, and good color combination, it doesn't look like the junk of meaningless plastic extrusions like gracco etc., we saw in babys'r'us or even walmart. i like that it is neutral color.
It has an upscale chic look. but the fittings are very robust and clicks are quite reassuring. YOu could easily find out that they compromised a few obvious design choices for safety.
The front wheel is actually a double wheel, giving more stability. The front wheels rotate unlike the fixed ones, but if you are taking a long walk.. you have a switch to lock them without allowing the movement. this i like best... most tri-wheel strollers don't hav this option.
With the car seat on, it looks even better. The car seat is of same standard as snugrider, but not as cool as the Chicco one. But the car base is better designed than some of the leading car seat bases.
2 of the 3 cupholders are small, for american size. I wonder if they meant them for baby bottles than beveage glasses. the canopy has two transparent windows from front and back to look at the baby. It also has a toddler foot-rest which many 3 wheel strollers don't.
And like all 3 wheel stollers it offers more space for storing goods below the seat. I haven't used the seat inclining mechanism yet, and that does not seem super convenient; but i think i can guess why they opted for this system than easier ones.
very satisfied with it overall... waiting for my daughter to like it when she arrive in Feb :)
 Beautiful travel system, but not exactly what I expected May 7, 2008

My husband and I live overseas and because we did not like the three pattern choices the base offered for baby gear and affordable options were limited we decided to order online. (It was literally cheaper to send the package to my sister and have her mail it to us than to buy a stroller and or car seat downtown considering the prices and exchange rate).
My husband and I picked this stroller based on the color and the great reviews. We researched several websites before deciding on this travel system. I really like the color and the appearance of this travel system. I'm happy that the car seat is certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft.
I do have four complaints:
1. I'm disappointed that more information about how it operates was not available on any website I found. Information like certification for use in aircraft certainly would have been helpful.
2. When I received the travel system I carefully read the instruction manual and was amazed that information about how to insert and remove the car seat from the base was excluded. It was easy enough to figure out after a little trial and error, but still that information is just as important as knowing how to buckle the car seat into the car.
3. While I'm glad the car seat has a 5 point harness system there is one thing that I don't like about it- the lap buckle. The lap buckle is made of plastic and you have to fit the two plastic shapes together before you can snap it in. The stroller seat belt is better because each piece snaps in individually.
4. The only thing I'm disappointed with the stroller is that it has only two reclining positions- the baby can either sit straight up or in a recline position, but he can't lay flat- which is something else I would have liked to have known before purchasing this travel system.
