 "stroller" 2010-04-19
By M.F. (germany)
i have a 2 year old and 2 month old and needed a stroller for both. this stroller was easy to assemble by myself (hubby was deployed) and overall i think it's great! I haven't used it outside yet though because of the weather, and i am sure it is goign to be great! Kind of wishing that i bought the other one where you can convert the back platform to a seat, but thinking with a 2 year old.....who doesn't nap much this one will work out great for us anyway. great price. not as bulky as a double stroller and not that heavy either.

UPDATE: my mom used this stroller for the first time yesterday and she said it was awesome! My 2 yr old sits on it so nicely and it's not confining to him. With the 3 month old we had to put a blanket in to support her head a bit more as the seat isn't made for a newborn.

 "I love this stroller" 2010-03-15
By J. Stewart (Bloomington, IL)
I originally received a double sit n stand for my baby shower. The stroller didn't fit in the back of my Jeep Compass so I purchased this version on amazon. I was pleased with the colors/price/free shipping. The instructions were a little tricky. When I first put it together, I couldn't get it to steer! It was very frustrating. When I looked at the front wheels, I undid the latch that I thought was supposed to be done and now the stroller glides perfectly! My Graco infant seat locks into place and easily straps in for security. It's much easier to maneuver than my single Graco stroller I used with my first child. The only downside is the difficulty of accessing the storage when both kids are strapped in.

 "LOVE IT" 2010-03-10
By David E. Zamora (north carolina)
We love this stroller. It is perfect for me and my 2 1/2 yr old and my 7 month old. My 2 1/2 year old loves that she has the choice to sit on the seat or stand up. The only con to this product is that the buckles for the seat in the back are attached to the cover so it slide all over the place when a child is sitting on it.

 "AWESOME!!!!!!!" 2010-03-03
By Rachel Gunnell
We bought this stroller for Disneyland specifically. WONDERFUL! We had a 6 year old and a 2 year old. I do wish the basket underneath was a bit bigger but otherwise it was fabulous. Other reviews wish the front seat reclined further...HELLO! People! If it reclined further then it would bump the kid in the back right off the chair. I can understand why it doesn't. It did make stroller napping a bit difficult but I understand why it is so. LOOOOOOOOVE the console up top with the drink holders and storage box. GREAT stroller and relatively easy to push.

 "Product Doesn't Fit Description!" 2010-03-03
By P. Suzanne Leguel (New York, NY USA)
I bought this product because I will be travelling with my 10 month old twins soon and I wanted a travel bag to cover the Sit n Stroll Car Seats that I bought through Amazon. We received the product and couldn't get the Sit n Stroll car seats into the bags! I emailed the supplier and after several emails, I was told that the bags should fit the car seats. I told them that they definitely do not and at this point, I just need to return the bags. I don't have time to keep emailing back and forth (as a mother of twins, I have little time to do anything). I asked for the supplier to pay for the shipping so that I could return the item. I was told that they would not pay for it because they are insisting that the bags fit the car seats. I am extremely dissapointed with this company and I would advise anyone to not waste your time and don't buy from them!

 "Helpful for travel, but cheaply made" 2009-09-22
By Robin Unander (Santa Barbara, CA)
If you are traveling on a plane with this seat (which is the whole purpose of buying the Sit n Stroll) then having a travel bag is really necessary to help protect it. The bag also allows you to store an extra carry-on bag inside on the seat of the Sit n Stroll. The bag is a rather tight fit though over the Sit n Stroll, and if you are in a hurry to put it away so you can board your flight, be careful to not rip the zipper. Take a few extra moments to make sure the bag is properly fitted over the Sit n Stroll, and have patience when you are trying to zip it up before it is properly fit. Otherwise, the zipper will rip... oops. The airplane bag handlers who deal with strollers at the gate were not familiar with the way it looked in the travel bag, so we almost lost it after one flight because the handlers mistook it for regular luggage and not a stroller! But the bag protected the stroller, and kept our extra carry-on bag securely tucked inside. We bought the stroller used, and prior owner used a large garbage bag to protect the stroller on flights. After our experience there's no way in hell we would use a garbage bag to protect the seat. The travel bag has a handle, which was helpful in carrying the stroller after we exited the plane until we were able to get out of the way of the other travelers to set it up and put our baby in it.

 "Superior to the Joovy Caboose Ultralight at a smaller pricetag!" 2010-04-29
By Dani
I spent a few weeks researching tandem strollers and finally settled on the Joovy Caboose Ultralight. I was very disappointed when it arrived. I used it for a couple of weeks before finally selling it on craigslist, taking a loss, because there are a couple of huge design flaws that I couldn't live with. I then bought the Baby Trend Sit n Stand LX and love it. First of all, it is about $100 cheaper than the Joovy, and, in this case at least, more expensive certainly does not mean better.



I have a 4-year-old and a 2-month-old. I knew that my 4-year-old would want to walk on outings but hop on a stroller when she got tired. I also knew that I'd be using the infant carseat with the stroller for at least four more months with my infant son.



There are three things about the Joovy that I preferred to the Sit n Stand (minor things that are not deal breakers by any means):



1. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight is lighter (by about four pounds), so it is slightly easier to turn and maneuver than the Sit n Stand; its wheels also seem to roll a little more smoothly. However, the maneuverability comes at the sacrifice of function (more about this later).

2. The Joovy neoprene parent organized has a ton of space for keys, wallet, and phone and is very functional. The Sit n Stand parent organizer is a hard shell; it has room for two smaller water bottles, which is great, but neither my keys nor my BlackBerry will fit in the middle closed compartment, thus rendering it nearly useless - it's just too small to be functional.

3. The oversized canopy on the Joovy covers both kids, which is nice on a very hot and sunny day or in case you get caught in a rainstorm. However, the canopy is also bulky and a little cumbersome; when you don't need it fully open, it gets in the way.



That being said, there are many things I prefer about the Sit n Stand:



1. The Sit n Stand is a little lower to the ground and thus feels more stable when moving.

2. The Sit n Stand has a carseat attachment that you can snap the infant carrier into. The Joovy Caboose attachment is really a tray that the infant carrier sits ON TOP OF; it does NOT snap in, something Joovy obviously does not advertise because it's very cumbersome and annoying. To secure the infant carrier on the Joovy, you have to strap it in with an ugly red strap; even with the strap, the infant carrier sits awkwardly on top of the tray and doesn't feel like it's secure. In the instruction booklet, Joovy actually advises that parents check the carrier every few minutes to make sure the strap that holds it attached to the stroller isn't loose. The Sit n Stand attachment is awesome - the carrier snaps right in and is tight and secure in the front seat of the stroller.

3. The Joovy basket is very small and hard to get into. I could barely get my purse in there, much less a diaper bag. The Sit n Stand basket is larger and has snaps on the side that you can open, thus making the basket easily accessible and usable.

4. The Sit n Stand can be folded with one hand; the Joovy cannot.

5. The Sit n Stand actually folds smaller than the Joovy. It's a bit thicker when folded but significantly shorter, so it will fit in all trunks. The Joovy is VERY tall when folded and wouldn't fit in the trunk of my friend's Honda.

6. The front seat on the Joovy is very shallow, only 8 inches. The depth of the Sit n Stand front seat is about 10 ½ inches, making it much more functional for older kids. I could see my son, who's average size, outgrowing the Joovy seat by the time he's 18-months-old. He'll be able to use the Sit n Stand much longer.

7. The Sit n Stand has a removable kid tray that easily snaps off with one hand. Once the younger child is older and bigger, it's easy to remove him/her from the stroller without lifting him/her over the top of the tray. The Joovy tray is very difficult to remove (I actually couldn't do it; my husband had to do it for me).

8. However, the most obnoxious thing about the Joovy, and the main reason I traded it for the Sit n Stand, is that the back toddler bench seat is very small and moves/slides all the time, which is annoying and distracting for the kid AND the parent. Also, when the front seat is reclined (necessary to hold the infant carrier and for a younger child or a child who still naps during the day), it reclines halfway INTO the back bench seat, taking up about half the room of an already small seat. The older child then either has to stand (not great on long trips) or sit hunched forward with his/her feet awkwardly curled behind. This is a pretty big design flaw that I could not overlook. It makes the back seat essentially useless unless the front seat is not reclined. The Sit n Stand back bench seat is slightly larger, and the front seat, even when reclined, does not get in the way of the bench seat. The older child can thus sit comfortably upright even with the front seat inclined. The standing platform on the Sit n Stand is also larger and has a strap that you can buckle behind the child that the child can use for back support; the Joovy doesn't have this.



Considering the above, the Sit n Stand LX is the hands-down winner. For nearly half the price, you get a much better, more functional stroller. Had I "test driven" both, I never would have bought the Joovy Caboose Ultralight. I think the Joovy looks kind of funky and trendy, so people fall for it, but it's a poorly thought-out stroller that is terribly overhyped. If you can, try both at a store before buying.

 "I can fit more than 2 kids on this!" 2010-02-24
By A Back (Indianapolis IN)
I love this stroller - only thing is you can't really steer with one hand but that's probably to be expected with a double stroller. I love that it folds down as much as it does (almost as small as my single stroll) there are times I have extra kids at my house and we all want to go for a walk and I've fit 4 kids on this thing!!(one in the front -- two on the seat facing opposite ways -- and one standing) they get a little crowded but we were able to get out of the house! three kids would still be comfortable though! I also love that you can hook the baby carseat carrier on the front - makes an easy transition from car to stroller!!!

 "had high hopes..." 2009-06-08
By Mindy L. Haynes (Chicago Il)
I loved the idea that my new baby and my 2 1/2 year old would both be happy in this. My 2 1/2 yr old loves standing/sitting in the back and will not get in a regular stroller seat so I thought this would be great. Unfortunately its been terrible. Its too long and this causes it to be really hard to turn. And the frame is a little delicate. With ours the right side got pushed forward a little and the whole thing pulled to the right so hard that it was a HUGE chore to push it. We called them and they told us to switch the front wheels which did not work. I finally laid it on its side and pushed the right side forward while bracing the other front wheel and that helped a little but its still really hard to push. The wheels are also small and make it difficult to get over cracks etc. in the sidewalk. And since we bought it while I was pregnant and its past 6 months the company was no help at all and suggested I just buy a new one! Riiiiight!

 "Wow!" 2009-02-11
By RC (az)
I initally bought this stroller about 2 weeks ago for an upcomming trip to the zoo with my son and a 4 month old I babysit. I couldn't wait so I took it out for a trial run a few days ago and was really impressed with this stroller. My daughter and son and both love it. My son is 3 and my daughter is 7 ...I know what you're thinking-- A 7 year old? But she wanted to try out the bench and standing area since the baby was gone for the day. And she LOVED it, and my son really liked it too. I have to tell you this stroller works wonderfully! I'm truly surprised. Even with my 50 pound 7 year old sitting/standing in the rear and my 3 year old up in the front, I still found the stoller easy to manuver. My husband who's 6 ft likes that the handles are high enough where he's not hunched over - but it's a perfect height for me too and I'm a whole lot shorter. This stroller is great for going to the zoo, or to festivals and stuff (which we do a lot). The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of its size and weight... even when folded, this stroller is a monster! ...It's HUGE and heavy. Make no mistake about it ----this is A-lotta stroller! I read a couple of reviews that said this stroller might be as heavy as a double stroller --and they might be right. In all honesty, I won't be using this stroller everyday. But that doesn't mean you can't (especially if you have the trunk space). It's easy to put up and down, so no worries there. This stroller also can adapt to any carrier you own already so that was a huge relief because the little girl I sit for owns an Evenflo and I had no problems( but if you do there is a number in the book you can call.) One thing I read in another review online; a lady said you can fit an infant carrier, snuggly, in the space behind the front seat and on the bench.... this is VERY TRUE. I tried placing the baby carrier in this area and it fit like a charm.... it doesnt wiggle or anything, just like she says. It almost feels as if the carrier was "snapped" into place. With this being said, I would use the bench straps as extra security, though. I also read on another site that someone uses this stroller with her 3 kids: one sitting in the front, one toddler sitting on the bench, and one older one standing. I've never tried it but the back platform is really wide. Wide enough to hold two kids in the back (facing each other) just like she said. All in all, this stroller is money well spent. My only wish is that I knew about it a lot sooner. Good Luck! :)))

     "Too many problems." 2010-02-24
    By J. Lawry (New York, USA)
    I so wanted this product to work. I consulted the reviews here very carefully, and talked to another owner, before buying. But the product ended up just not quite working as intended on a long-haul trip with my 14-month-old son.



    First, let's be clear: this product has a very specific target market, as far as I can tell: flyers with young children. It is not a general-purpose stroller: the wheels can't handle anything but the smoothest sidewalks, and forget about steps. Nor is it a good general-purpose carseat: I wouldn't use this in a car as a permanent installation. It is the sort of car-seat that you take traveling because you're going to be in and out of unfamiliar vehicles (such as taxis) and want something that can be used temporarily without full installation. This product is designed to get you to the airport, through check-in and onto the plane, and then off again at the other end, with your child in some comfort and you with the ability to carry your carry-on luggage with a minimum of fuss.



    Another potential use we had in mind (we live in New York city without a car) was for taking a taxi, strapping the car seat into the taxi, and then using the stroller wheels at the other end. The problem is that the wheels aren't much use if you'll be covering any distance over non-smooth ground.



    But here the problems start:



    1) The seat doesn't fit in some airline seats. If you can raise the armrest between seats, no problem: I did this in a United economy-plus seat. I am a large man and I could comfortably sit next to the carseat even though it was encroaching an inch on my space, and I had good access to my son during the flight.



    However if the armrests are fixed, there is nothing you can do. Air New Zealand Economy Plus has all fixed armrests and the Sit'n'Stroll was too wide: it had to go in the hold. Fortunately I was carrying a CARES harness (kidsflysafe-dot-com) just in case for my son to use, but it was far less comfortable for him. Very few airline seats will be wide enough to take the seat without raising an armrest, except some first class seats: check seatguru-dot-com for exact seat widths before you fly. You need either 19 inches of width or liftable armrests.



    2) The seat won't roll down the aisle in economy. Not even close. This means you have to fold up the wheels and retract the handle, pick it up with your child sitting in it, and carry it over the seatbacks to your seat. Try to picture doing this with your hand-luggage over your shoulder. Not easy. Dads travelling solo get sympathy from other travelers and airline staff, fortunately.



    The mechanism for opening the wheels is not very smooth. It works ok once you are used to it. It is very difficult to open the wheels out while the child is sitting in the seat. You need somebody to hold the front of the seat off the ground as you operate it, it's very difficult on your own. The mechanism has a slightly plastic feel, although it's metal, and occasionally the mechanism doesn't lock in position if you don't pay a lot of attention, so you have to be very careful that the wheels aren't about to spontaneously retract themselves. Not quite up to the build quality of the more expensive strollers. One particular annoyance: there are rubber sleeves on the handles which aren't attached in any way and simply fall off. I lost one on the first flight. How hard would it be to glue them on in the factory?



    Other people have commented that the extending bars to the handle are unnervingly flexible, and this is marketed as the steering mechanism: this strikes me as a marketer's effort to turn a bug into a feature. It isn't easy to steer the Sit'n'Stroll with one hand, and steering is possible by flexing the bars but you don't feel like you're in control of the stroller. If the surface you're travelling on is not smooth, it's much harder as the wheels are low-quality.



    As a seat, it appears very comfortable: my son showed no restlessness in it and could sleep and sit comfortably. The angle of the back is less steep than many car seats, which probably makes it easier to sleep in. The forward-facing belt position across the child's chest is unusually high, and this is one reason I couldn't envisage this as a permanent car-seat. There is no way to run the belt behind the sitting position as in dedicated carseats, it goes across the child's chest. At 14 months but tall (85 cm+), my son really had to have the belt crossing over his upper arms, and he could still feed himself, but I can imagine this working poorly for some kids, either pinning their arms down or holding them uncomfortably high. Rear-facing is also possible although the strap guides are very difficult to use in a hurry compared to a Graco SafeSeat.



    So, if you're a frequent flyer, and your child will have a business class or better seat with wide aisles leading there, then this seat may well be the answer to your prayers. If that's you, then the high price won't be an issue, either. If that isn't you, then this seat may solve some problems, but it will probably create others.



    One thing I can say: you get admiring glances in the airport when you're pushing your kid along in one of these. Doesn't really make up for the problems however.

     "An Immense Help When Traveling" 2010-01-02
    By Kristine Lee (San Jose, CA)
    The sit 'n stroll has been one of the best purchases we made for simplifying travel with our child. First purchased about a year ago when our daughter was about 13 months we have since used it on 3 trips, a total of 6 flights. The wheel folding mechanism sometimes sticks and has to be jiggled, but overall the product works as it is supposed to, and although the handle feels flimsy, it has held up. On our last flight, we had to ask for seatbelt extenders from the flight attendant, it was no problem. I have traveled with and without the sit 'n stroll with children, and for me, it's worth every penny, especially when just my daughter and I traveled together. No struggling with a stroller and a car seat. Less is more, you know? I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude to the makers of this stroller when we sail past the families struggling with all the accoutrement of traveling with children. Accoutrement!



    It's been handy as an extra car seat at home. Our actual car seat is so big that when we have car traveled with friends who also have children in car seats, this has fit where the other car seat was just too wide.



    Could be improved. The "storage space" is laughable.



    When going through the security line at airports, this does have to be inspected through the x-ray scanner.

     "Very convenient for travel" 2009-12-04
    By M. Congdon (Denver, CO USA)
    We purchased this since we like to travel. Our first trip was a great success! This car seat was very easy to travel with, especially with all of the opening and closing of the stroller getting on/off the airplane, into & out of the Hertz courtesy shuttle, going through airport security, etc. It literally takes 3 seconds to push/pull the handle bar and the wheel open/close mechanism. The wheels stroll and turn very smoothly and the whole system is not very heavy & cumbersome.



    The not-so-convenient steps with using this may apply to all strollers...such as finding the child-seat restraint hooks on the cars (especially the one behind the seat). Also, the belt that goes over our child's lap when she is in the seat needs to be loosened and moved each time we put her in and out of the seat. But this may apply to all child seat designs anyway.



    Altogether, this is certainly a valuable purchase for those who like to travel. We HIGHLY recommend it.

     "Needs attachment help..." 2009-08-08
    By mom of picky baby (Portland, OR)
    I received a sit 'n stroll as a hand me down from a friend when my child was 3 years old. It is a great concept and as a single mom needing extra help when possible, we have taken it on 4 trips but I actually don't feel that safe with it. The issues of our stroller is it has a latch for behind the seat but the tightening mechanism doesn't go tight enough for rental cars with the latch really close to the seat. The other issue is the seat is supposed to be strapped down in the airplane with a lap belt but most airlines lap belts aren't long enough to go over the seat. Out of 5 different airlines, only United (in premium coach) was it long enough to work properly with the chair. I've been jerry-rigging the seat with the seat belt. Then in rental cars, the seat sits low so the child can't see out and we've had some car sickness as a result. The seat belt is once again a pain b/c you use the 5-point harness and then use the seat belt over that which is a hassle to deal with the in/out frequently and isn't comfortable for the child's arms. I see it now has a latch mode which would be a lot more convenient in rental cars but still wouldn't address the shortness of lap belts on the plane. I haven't found the seat to be too big - it is too tight with the armrest down so just move the armrest up...



    If you're willing to deal with those issues, it is VERY convenient to have the stroller/car seat altogether and the wheels pop-up and down very easily.

     "if you want to return it you have to pay 25% of the product + shipment" 2009-02-17
    By D. Hudson (la)
    Make sure that you really want to buy this product. To return it they make you pay the shipment which is ok, but also 25%, yes people 25% of the product. So do you want to pay 30$ plus in this case over 60$????

    Will be more than 90$.... i don't even know if is legal. So i am not return it in this situation.

Tripleplay 5-in-1 Sit N Stroll Travel becomes convenient with the Sit N Stroll from Tripleplay. It is FAA approved and is the perfect choice when searching for baby travel systems. Flying with a child is very difficult. With a stroller travel system like the Sit N Stroll there is no reason to haul a stroller and car seat through the airport. Use the stroller function and wheel the children the airport and into the automobile. The travel system then converts to an easy to use car seat by using the car's belts. Once the destination has been reached, take out the retractable wheels on the baby travel system and roll the child to its destination. The Tripleplay 5 in 1 is lightweight and simple making it a great choice. The top feature on the Sit N Stroll from Tripleplay is its convertibility. The wheels retract into what acts as a car seat base for easy storage. When the time comes to go from car seat to stroller, no real effort needs to be exerted. The stroller travel system is easy to use for all parents. The travel system also features a height adjustable handle. The 5-In-1 Sit N Stroll becomes one of the most perfect travel systems for any parent.

 "Very Useful" 2010-03-05
By Garth King (Lafayette, La)
My wife and I have a 5 month old, we bought this to avoid bringing a car seat and stroller on trips. We've only been on one trip so far but it worked fairly well. Don't expect all the bells and whistles of a standard stroller, but it gets the job done.



Pros: All in one, weighs the same as our regular car seat, handle extends a good length (i'm 6' 4"), is supposed to fit a range of ages.



Cons: Bulky (i'm not sure if this can fit a standard airline seat although the maker claims it can fit, we checked ours in at the gate), the mechanism to extend the wheels takes getting used to (it must be extended while holding child and seat off ground), our baby's head leans forward when she falls asleep in car seat rare facing mode (seat back is very vertical in this position unlike our regular car seat so we put a towel under the seat to prevent this)



I know the cons list is longer but it really works for what it is designed for, convenience. I wouldn't use this on a daily basis but for travel it's great.

 "Didn't work well for me" 2010-02-22
By J. Lawry (New York, USA)
I so wanted this product to work. I consulted the reviews here very carefully, and talked to another owner, before buying. But the product ended up just not quite working as intended on a long-haul trip with my 14-month-old son.



First, let's be clear: this product has a very specific target market, as far as I can tell: flyers with young children. It is not a general purpose stroller: the wheels can't handle anything but the smoothest sidewalks, and forget about steps. Nor is it a good general-purpose carseat: I wouldn't use this in a car as a permanent installation. It is the sort of car-seat that you take traveling because you're going to be in and out of unfamiliar vehicles (such as taxis) and want something that can be used temporarily without full installation. This product is designed to get you to the airport, through check-in and onto the plane, and then off again at the other end, with your child in some comfort and you with the ability to carry your carry-on luggage with a minimum of fuss.



But here the problems start:



1) The seat doesn't fit in some airline seats. If you can raise the armrest between seats, no problem: I did this in a United economy-plus seat. I am a large man and I could comfortably sit next to the carseat even though it was encroaching an inch on my space, and I had good access to my son during the flight.



However if the armrests are fixed, there is nothing you can do. Air New Zealand Economy Plus has all fixed armrests and the Sit'n'Stroll was too wide: it had to go in the hold. Fortunately I was carrying a CARES harness ([...]) just in case for my son to use, but it was far less comfortable for him. Very few airline seats will be wide enough to take the seat without raising an armrest, except some first class seats: check [...] for exact seat widths before you fly. You need either 19 inches of width or liftable armrests.



2) The seat won't roll down the aisle in economy. Not even close. This means you have to fold up the wheels and retract the handle, pick it up with your child sitting in it, and carry it over the seatbacks to your seat. Try to picture doing this with your hand-luggage over your shoulder. Not easy. Dads travelling solo get sympathy from other travelers and airline staff, fortunately.



The mechanism for opening the wheels is not very smooth. It works ok once you are used to it. It is very difficult to open the wheels out while the child is sitting in the seat. You need somebody to hold the front of the seat off the ground as you operate it, it's very difficult on your own. The mechanism has a slightly plastic feel, although it's metal, and occasionally the mechanism doesn't lock in position if you don't pay a lot of attention, so you have to be very careful that the wheels aren't about to spontaneously retract themselves. Not quite up to the build quality of the more expensive strollers. One particular annoyance: there are rubber sleeves on the handles which aren't attached in any way and simply fall off. I lost one on the first flight. How hard would it be to glue them on in the factory?



Other people have commented that the extending bars to the handle are unnervingly flexible, and this is marketed as the steering mechanism: this strikes me as a marketer's effort to turn a bug into a feature. It isn't easy to steer the Sit'n'Stroll with one hand, and steering is possible by flexing the bars but you don't feel like you're in control of the stroller. If the surface you're travelling on is not smooth, it's much harder as the wheels are low-quality.



As a seat, it appears very comfortable: my son showed no restlessness in it and could sleep and sit comfortably. The angle of the back is less steep than many car seats, which probably makes it easier to sleep in. The forward-facing belt position across the child's chest is unusually high, and this is one reason I couldn't envisage this as a permanent car-seat. There is no way to run the belt behind the sitting position as in dedicated carseats, it goes across the child's chest. At 14 months but tall (85 cm+), my son really had to have the belt crossing over his upper arms, and he could still feed himself, but I can imagine this working poorly for some kids, either pinning their arms down or holding them uncomfortably high. Rear-facing is also possible although the strap guides are very difficult to use in a hurry compared to a Graco SafeSeat.



So, if you're a frequent flyer, and your child will have a business class or better seat with wide aisles leading there, then this seat may well be the answer to your prayers. If that's you, then the high price won't be an issue, either. If that isn't you, then this seat may solve some problems, but it will probably create others.



One thing I can say: you get admiring glances in the airport when you're pushing your kid along in one of these. Doesn't really make up for the problems however.

 "Wheel assembly & frame not sturdy enough for daily pedestrian use." 2010-02-07
By Mark Tabla (St. George, UT USA)
This stroller feature is be a great idea but not quite rugged enough for daily pedestrian use



As a legally-blind stay-at-home dad without a driver's license, I have found the stroller functionality of this product to be extremely useful in walking back and forth the quarter-mile over paved terrain from my apartment to our local WalMart with my 1-year-old son in tow. It also works fine for my wife as a car seat in our minivan.



But walking home with my Sit and Stroll this last time with groceries and my son was a disaster...



The front-left wheel assembly snapped right in two going over a sidewalk crack just as I was coming out of the store headed for home.



Balancing the stroller on two rear wheels with the front end in the air without dumping my groceries or damaging the frame while traversing sidewalks and crossing streets was a tedious ordeal although my son was in no real danger since we in a relatively quiet suburban area.



I thought I was out $250 but I found a wheel assembly replacement part on Lily Gold's website for $13.90 ($5.95 + $7.95 S&H).



Our Sit and Stroll is definitely worse for wear...

- the frame now leans to one side though it still retracts/extends OK

- the flap under the front of the seat has broken off

- a wheel needs replacement



Recommended only for light stroller use.

 "Should be better." 2009-12-07
By Dachshund Mom (Frisco, TX)
We purchased these for our year-old twin boys. I really really wanted this product to be great, and I was so excited to try it. I thought it would really be an answer to our problems traveling but unfortunately it wasn't. Everyone who's done it knows what a difficult thing it is to bring a car-seated baby on an airplane, in terms of getting it hefted up and over everyone's heads and down the aisle (while you're probably carrying a couple of diaper bag carry-ons as well). In our experience (and we fly American), they do not let us pre-board at all, even with two infants. This seems crazy to me, and it makes it very difficult for my husband and me, each with a car seat and baby in our arms, to get down the jetway and finally seated on the plane.



This stroller is easy to push around the airport - though the handle does seem really flimsy. But there is no storage, and you can't really hang your diaper bags on the handle - you'll need to keep those shouldered. If your adult-to-baby ratio is 1:1 like it is with us (my husband has one baby and I have the other), a rolling suitcase in addition to your sit-n-stroll doesn't really work either.



I was very hopeful that the sit-n-stroll would roll down the aisle of the plane. It won't, not in coach. Not even close. So somehow you have to pick this seat up, which is very unwieldy, very high (and I am very tall) to get over people's heads, with your shoulder bags on, and get to your seat. It's really a stressful experience and we typically wind up feeling somewhat injured - too much strain on our necks, our backs, and bruises on our arms. Getting the wheels to pop out and back isn't TOO difficult, but everything is made somewhat more difficult by the stress of all the travelers around you being unhappy about you bringing your baby aboard in the first place. Oh well. ;-)



Another problem is that this car seat is pretty heavy (compared to the Graco Safe Seat for Infants which is what we used before), even without a child in it. When you add a 20+ pound child, it's really too much for me. I'm 6'1" and my husband is 6'5" and we both did not like using the sit-n-stroll. Our experience was also that the seat is wider than the airplane seat itself, so the parent riding next to the seat will have less space to sit in than normal.



If you do use the car seat in the rear facing mode, the airplane's seatbelt fits at a comfortable level. If you use it in the forward facing manner, though, the plane's seatbelt goes somewhere else (higher up), and it really is in a weird spot. How awkward it is will depend on the height of your child.



For our next trip, we are going back to our former system - the Graco Safe Seat rear-facing (for infants) car seat (the boys are barely within the weight / height range for that seat still) with the Graco frame stroller (folded up and checked at the plane's door) to get it around the airport. That car seat has a handle, so it's easier to heft up over people's heads, and it does not weigh as much. And then we hope that we can graduate to the cares belt on future trips. That's another conversation :-)



Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this seat. It just has too many drawbacks, and it is VERY expensive.

 "Must have for frequent travellers, but many compromises" 2009-09-03
By Jeffrey Bradford (Rochester, MN)
We've taken this stroller on two trips to Asia, two trips to Europe, and numerous domestic trips, for a total of 30 flights. I can't imagine taking these trips without this stroller, it's been absolutely fantastic for us. On the plane, on the taxi, on the subway, and around town, it makes traveling much easier. Our daughter also seems to find it comfortable, she will climb into it and just sit there. With a bit of practice (and I've had a lot!) it converts between a stroller and a seat in about 3 seconds. The fabric seat covers comes entirely off, which is nice as we can toss it in the washing machine after a trip. [Or when she throws up all over her self in it....] How did people travel without it?



So given that effusive enthusiasm, why only three stars? Because as useful as it has been, it has many limitations, and much room for improvement.



The biggest problem is that as a stroller, it is mediocre at best, primarily due to the wheels being too small. They are suitable only for very smooth ground. Small bumps in the road are problems, grass and dirt roads are questionable, and going over cobblestone or brick roads are near impossible. I realize that due to the need to fold the wheels need to be small, but there sure looks like room to make them bigger. Just 2" bigger would make all the difference.



As a seat, it's better, but not great. As many others have noted, placing it rear-facing is a bit of a challenge. Thanks to all those that suggested placing something under the front (I used a jacket or towel), it really helps. It also needs a level to show when it's flat. Front facing, the place where the belt goes is much too high for our daughter, it basically goes right by her chin. We end up using the rear-facing path much of the time. I realize this is not as safe, as the seat might be able to flip forward in a crash, but it's better than no seat at all. The neck support ("infant bolster") is poorly designed, it forces her neck forward, so when she sleeps much of the time her head is not to the side but rather hanging forward.



To close the seat, you need to hold the seat slanted slightly downwards so the front wheels pivot forwards so they fit in the compartment.



It needs a cup holder. Really really needs one.



The storage mesh bag isn't great. It's worth getting it, but be prepared to be unimpressed. Note that the bottom sides have little elastic loops that attach to the sides of the stroller to keep it in place.



So if you're doing a lot of traveling, I highly recommend this, but be prepared for some frustration and trade-offs.
