... talk to me about travel systems! I was reading the reviews for the one i registered for and now i'm seeing all this stuff about it not reclining enough so the babies head falls forward! Every item is going to have at least one or two bad reviews... but its hard to tell which ones are more important than the others!! I like the handle of the carrier on this one because it doesn't cause you to twist your wrist. I don't HAVE to have this handle, but i do like it! Let me know what you ladies used and what you liked and didn't like!

Here's the one i registered for...Evenflo Aura Select Travel System Stroller - Oh! - Evenflo - Babies "R" Us

This is the one that we have, i like the carseat because it adjusts in the front, which makes it way easier to get baby in safely. I can't tell if that one adjusts in the front or back but i just thought i'de mention that. The drawback to this carseat is it it only goes to 22lbs, for bigger babies they might outgrow that pretty fast... but at 6 months adjusted age M's only 16lbs so it'll last us a while yet

The stroller reclines fully... steers great, the baskets big... i dont know what more there is to say!

I would just get what you want. My baby won't sit in her stroller....so for us, it really didn't matter what we got. I bought both a jogger and one that is carseat capatible and Julie won't sit in either of them (she won't sit in her carseat long either so the carseat system was useless for us). She screams her head off, so we carry her around everywhere.

Anyways...I wasn't really fond of the second stroller - it was a Kolcraft contours 3 wheeler (carseat compatible) - because it didn't compare to my jogger and since she won't sit in either stroller, there was no reason for me to keep both of them, so I sold that one in a kids sale last weekend.

So if you have a baby that won't sit in her carseat or stroller without making a scene - the travel system is useless.

We have an evenflo, got it because it was too good to pass up ($60!! brand new). I like the handle on it too. We couldn't have even gotten the car seat that cheap. I'm not sure how much we'll use the stroller but its kinda huge so i can't imagine me dragging it around all over.

OMG, we don't even have the carseat in the car yet! Guess we better get on that!

I think the one you got should be fine. Most kids head flop forward in their carseats when they're young, especially when driving! At least with the stroller they'll be facing you so you can adjust their head if necessary.

We use our travel system ALOT! Even though Connor was a carseat screamer for the first 3 months he didn't mind the travel system. I think the most important thing for me would be the one handed steering. Ours is a little big and you really need 2 hands to steer it which sometimes is impossible. I've used others with one handed steering and would buy those instead if I were to do it all over again. Also a large basket is nice when you're out shopping and don't want to grab a cart.

Even though Connor is almost 9 months old and usually just sits in the stroller now, I still occasionally snap the carseat in if we're out and he falls asleep in the car. It's so nice to not have to wake him to run in the store or something.

We have a Chicco travel system and I love it! It's so lightweight and the stroller does recline.

we have the Graco Hamilton and I love it! I like the way the stroller folds and is easy to put in my trunk. I use that stroller all the time, unless we are out in DHs truck and we use the chicco lightweight stroller then. We stopped using the carseat when Bella was about 3 or 4 months but she loves going for walks in the stroller!

I'd say get what you think would be right for you. Everyone has a different opinion and/or usage for their strollers.

I have the Chicco Keyfit and loved it. Especially the car seat.

Off topic, but I just had to respond to this.

I thought I was the only one! My baby did this too. I used to get so annoyed when everyone else would go on about how their baby went right to sleep in the car. Mine would scream in the car. I used to see moms in the mall ALL. THE. TIME. with a baby just snoozing away in their stroller...not mine, haha. The Ergo was my best friend.

Just wanted to tell you it does get better. At about 6 months she started tolerating the car seat better. Now she is great in the car. She'll even sleep if it is close to a nap. There has been a big improvement in the stroller too. She does great in the jog stroller (BOB) outdoors. In doors, eh...I usually stash the Ergo in the stroller basket b/c she usually wants out at some point after 15 minutes or so. Now I don't mind at all..the stroller holds all my shopping bags

It can only get better, there is no worse
