We bought this stoller and carseat/carrier for our daughter when she was born and have been using it since. She is now 10 months and has outgrown the infant carrier but we still love the stroller. My husband and I love to comparison shop and we checked out a lot of car seats...good features were the LATCH system, levels on the side, and ease of installation (we took it on two planes and installed in several cars). The stroller is super lightweight and I am able to close it with one hand and hold my daughter with the other. The only draw back is that the basket does not move. It is hard to get to with the seat fully reclined (which it is with the infant carrier in it). Otherwise a great system!! (FYI we have the shara color but this is otherwise the same system)
