I used the travel systems - Graco to be exact. I think there's nothing more convenient that to be able to let your sleeping baby stay sleeping while you take him from the car to the stroller with just a quick snap. So convenient and easy! My only gripe w/ my stroller was that I had no cup holders. I believe they have them now, but my model didn't have it the year I bought it.

I had a Graco travel system with my first, 6 years ago. I am less happy with the quality of the ones I see by them now. Do you know a name or model of the one you liked?

I have used infant seats w/ the travel systems and then gone to a toddler seat with both my girls. I have had 2 Graco travel systems, and the front cupholder has broken off them both. It is a big deal for me to have it there. I usually have drink, and sometimes I'll put my keys in there. If/when we have another baby, I won't be buying another Graco. It has happened to me twice, so I guess I deserve what I get if I buy another and it happens again. I do like the systems, though. I love the convenience of car to stroller. So I might buy a system again, just not Graco. I'll probably just suck it up and use the Graco w/out my beloved cup holders.

We've had 2 toddler seats. A Cosco Alpha Omega for my oldest (she's now in a Graco booster, which is fine) and my 2 year old is in a Britax Roundabout. I like the Britax better, but not by a lot. They are both good seats.

I am using a Graco infant seat that we borrowed from some friends of ours. It attaches to a stroller and is really light. We just keep the folded up stroller attachment in the trunk of the car. I love it! I think it is the Graco (something) and go. It has two cup holders and a really nice roomy storage area for shopping bags and my purse. On long walks when our dacchsund gets tired, she gets in the storage part and rides.

Our baby is about to outgrow that seat though so we just bought a convertible carseat--we got the Britax Roundabout but it hasn't arrived yet. They're on sale at Babystyle right now, and there's a code floating around. HTH some.

We had the Eddie Bauer Travel System. We liked the infant seat cuz the canopy pulled down further than the other seats and the sun didn't hit her eyes on really hot, sunny days. It came with the little head cushion to keep their heads from boggling all over the place when the car was moving and a cover to put over the bottom to protect them from cold weather. It also matched our car interior.

When she outgrew the infant seat she switched to the Graco ComfortSport Convertible it can sit newborns facing backwards inclined. It has a lot of cushion support which we wanted for long trips. We wanted to make sure she would be comfortable. I also like that it has a cup, snack & toy holder, and of course, it matches our car interior.
