Graco Passage Travel System, Abbington


I've really enjoyed this travel system so far. My son is 3 months old, so he's still riding in the carseat when we use the stroller. The seat is easy to get in and out of the car when you use the base. You can also purchase extra bases so you can have one in each car which makes things really simple. I can open and close the stroller with one hand while holding my son in the other. The carseat part is a little heavy if you have to carry it a while and the handle gets in the way of putting the sun shade up and down a little, but overall, not a big problem. I'd recommend it.Get more detail about Graco Passage Travel System, Abbington.

Joovy Dry and Snug Rain/Wind Shield Cover Review


I live in a big city and use my Joovy Caboose every day. With this wind/rain shield, it is a year-round stroller. The shield is thick - it will not crack or tear, and the rain just pools on top, never leaking through. We've used it in the rain many times, and the kids have never gotten wet, except for in a really heavy downpour when their shoes get wet. Unfortunately, there is no way to help this, since understandably it cannot cover all the way down, as it would then cover the wheels. The shield does not cover the organizer, and so things in that may get wet in the rain. I also use the shield in cold weather, and it does great to keep the kids warm. It's like a little greenhouse inside, so be careful that the kids don't get too hot if they are bundled warmly.

One of the best features of the shield is that there is a zipper about 6 inches long on the side of the front where you can pass things through to the front child. This is great for handing snacks or a water bottle through without taking the shield off or reaching up underneath it. There are also little holes for air vents on each side. It attaches with 3 squares of velcro on each side in the back and with strips of velcro by the front tires (I don't attach the front unless it is really windy out). The back child can just undo one side and come out of the stroller easily without taking the whole thing off.

One con is that it is very difficult to hear the kids through the shield, so pay extra attention that they are not in there yelling and you just aren't hearing it!

Overall, this is a wonderful product. This makes it very feasible to use the Joovy Caboose year-round and still have the kids be comfortable.

BOB Weather Shield for SUS and Ironman Single Strollers, Grey Top Quality


We LOVE our B.O.B. IRONMAN stroller! It is great for running on pavement, but it is also great in grass or on uneven surfaces (festivals or markets etc). The all-weather cover is great for rain or cool weather. We also have the travel case and the cup/key holder --also great! Highly reccomend B.O.B. products.Get more detail about BOB Weather Shield for SUS and Ironman Single Strollers, Grey.

Kolcraft Contours Options 3 Wheeler in Ruby Immediately


We purchased this stroller because we wanted something that had the versatility to turn the baby seat around and fit our 6 month old a little better (we also have a Graco Mosaic which is too large for him currently).

Stroller positives:
Extra smooth ride (we have cobblestone streets in our New England neighborhood and this stroller floats right over them)
Large basket (I can't believe how much stuff you can get under the seat)
3 wheels makes it easy to maneuver with one hand
built in cup holders
Removable toy bar
Reclining seat that can face in or out
Price - these are great features to get at this price

Stroller negatives:
Heavy
I'm not sure if it's my imagination, but it seems a little "racked" like ever so slightly twisted, although that hasn't affected the function
Quality is okay
It's a little tricky to fold, but once you get the hang of it you might stop pinching your fingers
Could only find it in red, wish there were more colors

All being said, this stroller rides smoothly, has great versatility, storage space, and you can't beat the price. Our baby loves it so much more than the Mosaic and to us that makes all the difference.Get more detail about Kolcraft Contours Options 3 Wheeler in Ruby.

Quinny Buzz Cup Holder, Black Best Quality


I can't fold my stroller when I put this on. If I want the cup holder, I have to take it on and off every time I unfold/fold my stroller. Maybe it is just me and I'm not putting it in the right spot. But I did try to put it on with my Quinny folded and I couldn't find a good spot. So you know, I guess it just depends on how badly you want a cup holder. For me, it isn't worth the extra hassle.

Evenflo Aura Select Travel System - Georgia Stripe Get it now!


I've been using it for over a week now and I'm very very happy with this travel system. I just returned another one I had purchased when the baby was born because the stroller seat didn't recline and because the canopy was so small it wouldn't protect my baby from the sun. This one is great and doesn't have any of those problems; although the seat doesn't recline all the way (which I thought it did) it reclines enough for my baby to sleep comfortably.
It's a bit higher than I would've liked since I am not a tall person at all and I feel a bit like a kid pushing a big stroller around. But still, no complaints, it's easy to maneuver, a soft ride, my baby is more comfortable than in the last travel system and it's also very cute!

I would recommend it to anyone!Get more detail about Evenflo Aura Select Travel System - Georgia Stripe.

Bugaboo Cup Holder Buy Now


This is the perfect accessory for the Bugaboo. It snaps onto various parts of the frame and holds most standard size cups. It is great for sippy cups, bottles, water bottles, keys, whatever. We've used ours for nearly two years of rugged use and it has held up just fine. The only complaint is that it has to be removed when collapsing the carriage.Get more detail about Bugaboo Cup Holder.
