Best Travel System on the market!
Date of Review: Apr 3, 2008
The Bottom Line: Definitely recommend. Great system.
The Chicco Cortina KeyFit 30 Travel System is the best stroller car seat combo on the market. As a mother of three I have tried many strollers & car seats. My husband and I have tried out many models, and read many reviews on both strollers and infant seats. This is a great system at a pretty good price.
The stroller is a dream to use. Easy to push, & fold. Light enough to put in a trunk without much trouble. Durable enough to withstand gravel & dirt trails, even while hiking at the Grand Canyon and sleek enough to look great at the mall. There is plenty of parent storage. I have a huge Coach Diaper bag and it fits fine in the lower storage with room to spare for shopping bags, extra sweatshirts for the kids, etc. The parent tray is awesome. I love having a cup holder & a place to put my keys and cell phone. There is even a snack tray & cup holder for your little one which really comes in handy as your child grows.
The car seat was so quick and easy to install the first time. I didn't even need my husbands help to install it, which is great especially if you ever need to switch vehicles. The bubble levels really help to know that the infant seat is always positioned correctly. I also love how easy it is to tighten the 5 point harness around your infant. I have tried other brands who tried to emulate this feature & have been disappointed. Now that this car seat is rated number one by consumer reports I am even happier to know my baby is safe.
I only wish Chicco made a double stroller similar to the Cortina system, and made front facing cars seats for older children as well.
