A good travel system, few drawbacks
Pros:
Folded position is standing (not lying on ground); turns on a dime
Cons:
Car seat carrying handle difficult to move; loud snapping noise as it snaps into position
The Bottom Line:
We would recommend this travel system without hesitation -- well constructed and designed, a nice ride for the baby.

Author's Review
My husband and I have been very happy with this travel system. the stroller turns on a dime, making it easy to navigate through small spaces and doorways. Most strollers, when folded closed, lie on the ground, while this one ends up in a standing position. Very smooth ride for baby, easy to push.
On the downside, the car seat carrying handle is very difficult to adjust. There are basically two positions for the handle -- pushed out of the way for when the car seat is in the car, and in the up position for you to carry the carseat. I thought it might loosen up over time, but in the 10 months we have used it, it has not loosened at all. It is difficult for both of us, but I suspect more difficult for me to adjust since I have smaller hands. When the handle snaps into one of the two positions, it makes a very loud snapping noise, which I have worried would make the baby nervous (although she hasn't really reacted to it).
Also on the negative side, I have a 1992 Toyota Corolla, and it is not easy to get this stroller in and out of the trunk, due to the stroller's large size and the trunk's small size. Forget about bringing the stroller in the car when you have to go to the grocery store!
Overall, we have been VERY pleased, and would recommend this travel system without hesitation.
