Amazon.com Product Reviews
The Baby Trend travel system is designed for safety and ease of use. The myriad features like the adjustable seat back (to grow with your child), one-handed folding, extra-large basket, and child and parent trays are only a few examples. The travel system includes three pieces: Baby Trend stroller
Its larger front and rear wheels are able to handle rough terrain, although we agreed that the "Euro-styling" strictly pertained to the aesthetics. The canopy is large and can shield the baby from all angles. The child's tray swings or can be removed, and the parents' tray is fairly standard. The stow basket is indeed oversized and proved quite useful. Flex-Loc infant car seat and base
It includes the stay-in-car base with an adjustable level indicator and expanded polystyrene (EPS) head impact protection that exceeds federal requirements. The three-way grip can be handled at almost every angle, and the canopy does a good job at protecting the child. The five-point harness keeps baby secure and comfortable, while the car seat detaches from its base with the use of one hand. The Baby Trend travel system can seem slightly over-engineered as it is more sturdy than nimble. The metallic silver and lime are hip and anything but inconspicuous, but when you're pushing around a stroller, one can hardly stay under the radar. The infant car seat is designed for babies five to 22 pounds and up to 28.5 inches in length. --Scott Teal

 I love this system! July 26, 2005

My husband and I chose this carseat and stroller after months of checking out other ones at stores like Target and Walmart and doing research. After 6 months of use, I'm sooo glad we got this one! The carseat has been awesome. I really like being able to tighten and loosen the straps using the one strap in front, instead of having to tweek them all individually. The harness clips are also alot less bulky than the ones I've seen on my friends' carseats...it doesn't look like my daughter is going to be strangled. This was important when she was brand new because she was born six weeks early and has always been small. The seat itself feels quite solid and the base is very secure; we don't have LATCH, either. One of the best parts is the fabric...it's super easy to clean and hides spit and drool much better than all the navy blue seats we looked at (it seemed like every other seat was navy or tan). The canopy on the seat is also super adjustable, so I don't even need to use window shades to keep the sun or wind out of her face. Combined with the stroller, it's quite weatherproof. The stroller is a bit bulky, but sturdy and easy to maneuver. I've found that it's easier to fold it up if the wheels are locked in place first.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this system. If only I could find something equally as cool in a convertible seat... :-)

This is an excellent Travel System. The car seat is easy to use and fits great into shopping carts and can easily be used in other cars without the base. the stroller folds easily and is not too heavy for one person to lift to put in a vehicle. I recently saw a safety review of "infant" auto seats where only 2 passed and this was one of them. Very pleased and would definately purchase again. Highly recommend.
I've never found a better travel system! January 10, 2005

Everything about this system is wonderful! The colors are fabulous, it stears like a dream, and it's pretty easy to close up and store. I've used others in the past and none were as great as this one!

I agree with the other reviews. This is a great TS and the stroller does glide easily. I do have some advice though. Do not buy if you have a 2-door car like we do. The car seat release latch is at the foot of the seat unlike the graco that release from behind the head. It's practical for a four door car, more so than the graco release. I have to put it behind the passanger seat and climb in on the driver side so that I can get to the release bc you have to pull and lift from the foot. My car is too small (focus zx3) to put it in the middle or behind the driver seat. Like most newer cars it has the LATCH on the outer 2 seats and not in the middle. Also when you go to collasp the stroller you have to be so careful bc the tray will scrape on the ground which makes it awkward to close.
The base isn't supposed to move more than an inch in any direction... but it does move more, a lot more. Especially from side to side. I can't say that I have seen it do that while I am driving mostly bc I try and keep my eyes on the road. The (buttons??) that you squeeze to lower the carry handle on the seat are difficult. You have to apply the squeeze on both sides perfectly or else the handle won't go down, which is frustrating when you have a crying baby and have to struggle with them. And getting frustrated doesn't help your snychronized squeeze reflex.
The basket on the stroller holds quite a bit of stuff. Over all I do really like the system and Hailey seems to think it's okay too.
Excellent Purchase February 4, 2007

This is the very best travel system out there. The price is worth every penny. I love the colors and all the unique features. It has the highest crash test rating for any infant car seat on the market. The stroller is well made and the colors are beautiful. I have been stopped in malls, hospitals and doctor's office with people asking where I purchased this travel system. One of the features that I like the most is the "triangle" on the handle of the car seat. This allows you to hold it different ways and your arm does not get as tired. I am very happy with this design and have had no problems. Baby Trend should mail me a gift for all the new Mom's that I have turned on to this travel system.
