Easy, versatile, great system!
By agirlwithaguitar
I've have used this stroller system for my daughter's entire first year and love it! My little girl is just now getting a bit big for the car seat so we're going to move up to a forward facing one, but this has served us very well. The car seat can be used in the base, or it can also be strapped into a car without the base by threading the seatbelt through notches in the sides (which is useful if you take the stroller on the ferry to visit relatives and don't want to have to carry the base with you). The construction of the whole system is sturdy, the stroller folds flat, the extra cup holders are awesome and there's a big storage area underneath, very handy! The handle is adjustable, so adults of various heights can use it comfortably. The stroller can be used without the car seat as well, if your LO is awake and wants to see where s/he is going, and also reclines fully so if s/he nods off while you're out on a walk, you can make him or her nice and comfy by lowering the seat back to the recline position. We also occasionally used the stroller as bassinet while traveling, and the car seat was so comfy for her, I actually just let her use it as her regular bed until she was about 6 or 7 months old. She slept better in the car seat than the co-sleeper I bought, or anything else I tried.Regarding issues of having difficulty snapping it together that were raised by one reviewer, it took me abut 5 minutes to figure that out. The handle has to be out and the seat has to be reclined in order for the car seat to snap into the stroller. So, leave the baby strapped in the car seat in the car ... get the stroller out, set it up with the handle up and the seat reclined. Then, lift the car seat out of the base and it snaps into the stroller very easily. No problem. For folding and unfolding the stroller, simply lift the lever at the back ... there's a little handle ... also took me a few minutes to figure out the first time around but was easy after that. So unless the adult managing the stroller has some physical disability or is really low on the evolutionary scale intellectually speaking, once a person has done this once or twice, it's very very easy to manage. Just follow the steps. I bought my system second-hand, so it did not come with instructions, but I imagine the new ones probably come with illustrated instructions too.

By CFH Review
For our family this system has worked great. Any system that is an all in one is going to have some adjustments you will have to make in order for the unit to go from one state to another. Our family has never had a problem using the carrier with the stroller or without it. The car base unit is super easy to install and use. Our son has just out grown the carrier and base units and we are passing them on to a friend who is having a baby soon. We will continue to use the stroller.I can understand the other reviewer's frustration. You do have to know how the system works and what position(s) certain parts of the stroller need to be in install the carrier. The ability of this stroller to go from a carrier system to a full fledge stroller for a toddler is great for us.The units are sturdy, well built and thought out for your growing baby. Our family has felt safe using them with our baby. We highly recommend it.We also preffered the Graphica Color scheme.

Not really a Fit30
By Fair Shot
We bought this due to the fact that my wife liked the color and wanted something that would work for both boys or girls. We were also looking for a Fit30...We registered for it as a baby gift and got it. It looked nice and worked well for our new little guy... However, he started growing very fast and at 6 months now, he weights 19 lbs. And he hardly fits in the car seat.I ended up looking at the back of the car seat and it says Fit30, and the carseat cover says Fit30... But it doesn't even fit a baby at 20 lbs. I then had my brother dig out his old Fit30, and it was much larger. My son fit in it with no problem. I then went to B r Us and looked at the normal cheap Fit22, and my car seat was the same size....Not happy that at 6 months old, I have to buy a new carseat due to this issue.
