 LOVE this stroller combo! May 25, 2010

Another review from someone who hasn't actually used this with a baby yet...but I have already purchased it, based on my researching strollers for almost a year via online reviews and in-store experimenting. There are a lot of great strollers out there that cost big bucks, but I wasn't willing to pay $500+ for a stroller. I love this one because it's lightweight and has a slightly-narrower wheel base than most of the other stroller systems I tried out (this stroller weighs 19 lbs, compared to the 28-33 lb ones I was trying out), and is VERY easily maneuvered with one hand. The color scheme is gender-neutral. BRU has it for about $30 more in a grey and yellow scheme. I like the Strata, which is what I purchased. It's very pretty, and the aqua is just slightly brighter than pictured -- not garish at all, and aqua enough to not automatically scream "baby-boy pastel blue!"
My favorite part about this stroller is that the handle swivels so that you can push the baby facing you, or facing outward. Most the travel systems let the baby face you when they're in the snap-on infant carrier, but unless you go really pricey, it's hard to find one that lets the kid face you once they're out of the infant carrier. I found one other that did, but you have to move the seat itself, which takes time, effort, and can't be done with the child in the stroller. At one year old (when the baby outgrows the infant carrier), Mom is still the most interesting thing out there for most kids, and I want to be able to interact with my baby as I'm pushing him, vs. having him isolated from me and staring out at the world. The handle swivel mechanism is very easy to use, but locks in place with a nice, secure feel.
The one and only tradeoff with this stroller (for me) is the lack of a storage tray for drinks, keys, etc. Because the handle swivels over the stroller body to change the seat from facing inward to outward, they didn't put a tray on the handle. If it were me, I would have designed a reversible tray so that it worked from both directions, but they didn't. What they did do was provide one cup-holder that sits on the handle off to the side, and can swivel with the handle. For me, that's an acceptable trade-off, but it might be a deal-breaker for others.
This came with the stroller, carseat/carrier, and the stay-in-car carseat base. As with most products containing plastic products, this smelled when I first took it out of the box. I set it outside for a couple days to off-gas, and I'm going to wash the fabric parts before using...but the smell dissipated very quickly.

I absolutely love this travel system. My favorite feature is the flip handle so you can face your baby towards you or away from. It was a little difficult to put together but I think thats a operator error more than the actual stroller. The patterns can be used for a boy or a girl too. Easy to take the actual car seat in and out of the stroller. Would recommend.
Best purchase!! April 21, 2010

This travel system is really great, is not too bulky like another Graco Travel systems.
The fabric is soft, beautiful and unisex in my opinion.
This stroller seems to be really safe, great quality and price!! :)
Love it! April 5, 2010

We won't be using this system for a couple more months but we love it. It was very easy to put together (took less than 30 min). The stroller is easy to fold up and it's not too heavy. The adjustable handle on the stroller is nice. Everything seems very easy to use. The print is the best! It's nice and gender neutral. Can't wait to put our baby in it!
Great system...color not true to picture (strata) July 12, 2010

We got the strata system as a present and Love the Flip-it feature and contrary to some previous reviews, driving with the reversed handle was not an issue at all, just took a little getting used to, like driving your car in a different seat position. The color for the Strata, however, looks very nice bright, fun Tiffany-type blue in the Amazon picture, but in reality it is really a muted blue/green that has a bit of gray tinge to it. Nice and gender neutral, but I had hoped for the nice bright cheery blue. I ended up using a cover for both for the upcoming female arrival, but the blue/green/gray color should do well for a male in the future. The stroller and carseat are nice and light and very easy to use and maneuver. We had a hand-me-down Quattro system that was just really bulky and big and heavy, so this is a wonderful change!
