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.

Chicco Cortina KeyFit 22 Travel System, Coventry Order Now


We thought long and hard about which car seat to get. We settled on this one for the following reasons:
1) the minimum weight for the seat is 4lbs, we never thought we would have a medical emergency when we purchased the seat, but we did. Our daughter was born just over 5lbs. Hospitals require that all children under 6lbs do a oxygen test in the car seats to check if the position of the car seat hinders any oxygen supply for small infants. This car seat passed with flying colors and the nurse noted that only a handful of Graco car seats ever passed.
2) It is made out of quality durable material-- some of the graco car seat fabric seemed really cheap. It also very easy to clean.
3) The adjustments are very easy, just one easy pull. So easy-- none of that fliping the seat over and adjusting straps.
4) it was very nice looking seat, we still really admire it.
5) fits in all grocery cars
6) the infant inserts seemed very comfy and they did a great job holding the head steady.

Also, we thought the only negative to the seat was that the weight is only up to 22lbs. However, this turned out to NOT be an issue. Our daughter was just around 22lbs on her first birthday and i cannot imagine trying to carry a child over 22lbs in a car seat, that will be so heavy. Plus children already walk.Get more detail about Chicco Cortina KeyFit 22 Travel System, Coventry.
