The carseat: My daughter seemed to fit in it awkwardly for the first few weeks until we took out the infant cushion (she was only a little over 6 pounds at birth). The cover didn't block the sun at all when it was fully extended so I switched it out with a carseat canopy set (inwhich the carseat cover and carseat handle cover do not work well with this carseat either but that is a different review). The straps are very close together compared to the other carseats we have had (Evenflo and Britax). I HAVE to use the neck protectors or the straps run every time on her neck. The carseat base is very easy to install, but my complaint is that there is only one tightening strap to do both sides. I have to be able to tighten each side seperately so that all three of the booster/carseats can fit in the car by having the seat a little over from the seat belt- which I can't do and it's a pain to make sure everyone is buckled each time we get in the car. I do love the little storage area in the base to keep the info book and other little things. As others have mentioned- it does not fit in the seat area of a shopping cart and has to be put in the basket of the cart which means you can't get anything done or need to carts for groceries.
On to the stroller: It looks nice and easily unfolds with one hand and a foot. That is about as far as that goes. The carseat DOES NOT CLICK into the stroller so if you have to go down a steep hill or over a bump, the carseat with your precious baby bounces or starts to tip a little since it is not secure!! There is only one cup holder (even my umbrella stroller has more!) and the little spot on the top to hold keys does not hold my cellphone let alone the phone and keys. To make the carseat fit you have to put the back of the stroller seat down, which is a pain in the butt to do, and as soon as you fold the stroller up it moves back...so you have to do this EVERYTIME you want to put the carseat in it. The basket is not very big (as compared to graco or evenflo) and for some reason the end of it is tipped down and out so if you have the basket full then some stuff will fall out! It is hard to access the basket with the carseat in and the backrest down. The material is also starting to wear out and it's not even 4 months old yet. I used it for my older two children for about 2 weeks before the baby was born and the material is already starting to fray from that and the carseat moving around while walking. Also- the stroller does not fit in my Mercury Mountaineer SUV if I have my third row seating up- it doesn't fold down small enough- it's too wide even with the handle put down, so I can't bring extra kids with me anywhere if I am brining the baby and need the stroller for anything.
Overall impression: I do not recommend this combination of stroller and carseat if you need to have a secure place to put the carseat and you want to have room for all of your stuff. It needs more cupholders, a way to secure the carseat in the stroller, better neck straps, two lock system straps, more durable material, a bigger basket and the ability to easily access the basket.
