We wanted a durable, easy to use, safe feeling stroller/car seat that also had practical features. In this jogger system we found that. When installing the car seat base and infant car seat my husband and I were worried it wasn't going to feel secure; but after making the necessary adjustments to the base it is extremely secure and we feel very confident putting our newborn in the seat. The nice thing about this car seat base and carrier is that there are so many different adjustments that can be made to make sure your infant is safe and secure in the car - which is one of the most important things with a child. The stroller part was very easy to assemble and we liked the flexibility of using it with or without the toddler seat. We are planning on traveling with the stroller and infant seat and we looked for a system that was easy to fold up, transport, and durable - and we believe we have found that with this jogger system. My husband and I also liked the extra large storage basket at the bottom, the cup holders, and the storage places for our phones/ipod, etc. Also wanted a stroller that I felt would hold up to any outdoor exercising and terrain I would go on as I got back into shape after having the baby. The wheels seem sturdy enough to hold up to asphalt, sidewalk, and biking/walking trails. Finally, this is a travel system that can be used for years as our child grows. We didn't want to have to buy multiple strollers as our child grows. We will be able to get years of use out of the stroller and feel it is a great buy. We can't wait to put this system to use with our new little one and feel very confident it will hold up to wherever we decide to take him.
