This stroller /car seat combo is very nice !! Would recommend to any new moms and dads ! Love it 5/5 starsMuy agradable a la vista super cómodo y muy seguro super fácil de manejarI don't think there is a way I can convey how much I'm glad I own this system. We are living in Japan for the next few years and I even had it shipped here because I like it so much. I did a lot of research before purchasing this, and I've been so happy with it for so many reasons. I don't have a single con, so I suppose I'll just list the pros:- With the base, the car seat is so easy to install and give you peace of mind that you've installed it correctly. We've installed it both with a seatbelt and with the latch system and both ways were so easy. There are even instructions on the base itself as to where everything is supposed to go, but I highly recommend reading the instructions too. The best part is the two small bubble levels on each side showing you exactly the angle the base needs to be at when secured. Also, as if this wasn't easy enough, there are also so many videos on YouTube showing how to install this. While you don't get the levels to confirm your proper installation when you use the carseat without the base, this too is very easy and very secure.- The stroller is fantastic too. We've only used the "car seat holder" version of it and have yet to reattach the extra visor or the seat, but even so it's been such a great product. It was easy to put together right out of the box. It doesn't take up too much space in the trunk (I know. I'm driving a teeny Mazda Demio over here in Japan). It collapses and reforms with the use of one sliding piece. And on top of all that, it's quite sturdy.- I love the basket at the bottom. It's been perfect when we go shopping, and for storing our daughter's diaper bag.- It's going to be used for a long time. Granted our daughter is already over 17.5 pounds, but this car seat is rated up to 30 pounds (less than the average weight of a two year old) so the money spent on it was indeed a great investment.- Safety. This is the number on reason I bought this travel system. The car seat ranks consistently high on Consumer Reports (in the top five) and the the seat is also approved for use on airplanes, which was a must for us since we have trans-pacific flights at least twice a year. On top of this, it's rear-facing—all the way up to 30 pounds (which will take your child into their second year)—which is more in line with the current safety recommendations.I've loved this so much that my friend here in Japan is now looking for a way to get her own Chicco Bravo Trio Travel System all the way over here, too.Okay, one small con: I wish the stroller had a way to stay locked in the collapsed position, especially since we plan to put it in checked luggage soon when we go home for the holidays. But we bought two velcro bands that solved that problem for us.We are using it on our first loooong plane trip next week, so I'll update this accordingly.I am so glad my wife and I bought this travel system. We are first time parents and were overwhelmed with choosing between the numerous different car seats and strollers. We were about to buy a much more expensive travel system ($1500), when we came across the Chicco Bravo. It has just about every feature that the more expensive systems had and then some.Set up of the system took no more than 20 minutes and was very easy to accomplish. Once set up, my wife and I started to play with it to see how easy it was to fold it up and then put it back together. IT COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE EASIER. With a single hand you can collapse the stroller and have it ready to stow away. Even better is the weight. We were in stores every weekend playing with different travel systems and none of them were as easy to manipulate or as light weight as the Chicco Bravo. The weight was a big concern for us and was the reason we held out on some of the higher end travel systems. With the Bravo, my wife and I can easily lift the stroller into the back of our truck or SUV with no problem.The car seat base was also extremely easy to set up. I went out to my truck expecting it to be complex and time consuming, but it took me less than 5 minutes. The car seat easily secures into place and with the pull of a latch it easily comes out. Our little girl appears to be very comfortable in this seat and I feel at ease knowing she is secured in a high quality car seat.The stroller rides are smooth and we have no complaints. There are numerous accessories with this travel system that make it even better, but since I know anyone reading this has probably read up on all the specifics, I won't list them all here.I highly recommend this travel system to other parents. My wife and I were prepared to spend a lot more money on one, but after spending hours in different baby stores, we felt this was without a doubt the best buy.***UPDATE MAY 2015***The travel system continues to make my wife and I happy about our decision. We use it on a regular basis and it has held up great. We have not had any issues and parents with other travel systems have commented on how they wish they would have purchased the Chicco Bravo. It does everything that many of the overpriced systems do, and in my opinion, it is better in many ways.Like it not so heavyI did a lot of research when it came to safety and easily getting my daughter in and out of the car and into the stroller cause I lived in a high rise when she was born. This is the BEST. It doesn’t cost an arm and leg, folds easily, has so much storage underneath, and the car seat itself is the top rated. It’s easy to tighten the straps and adjust the Height of straps as baby grows, the base is super easy to install either by lab belt or latch! Couldn’t be more happy.This was the best money I ever spent. My granddaughter (3 weeks old, 8lbs) was just involved in a car accident. It was a head on collision with all the airbags deployed and both cars totaled. 4 Adults between the two cars all injured with various broken bones. The man in the back seat in the same car sitting right next to my granddaughter was airlifted to shock trauma with a broken back. All the adults were wearing seat belts. But you can imagine the jolt/shock. Ava did not have a scratch. The car Chicco Bravo car seat with the base locking system absorbed the impact and protected her. No doubt this seat with all the safety systems, harness, infant liner, etc. saved her life. I hate to think what would have happened in a cheap seat.Thank you Chicco, we have retired the seat involved in the accident and ordered a new identical system to keep protecting her.Lo único que no me gustó para nada es la mala calidad de los cinturones de seguridad en el porta bebé están muy cortos e incómodos y en la carriola están muy delgados de baja calidad y cortos. De lo de más está muy bien, lo otro es que hace que sude mi bebé después de un momento por el material.La compre con mucho tiempo de anticipación (5 meses) cuando la abrí parq usarla por fin, vi que venia incompleta, le falta el adaptador que se pone en la carreola para poner el asiento de carro, que no les pase lo mismo que a mí.SaludosMuy buen articulo, nos tardamos un poco armando la y leyendo intruciones! Pero muy buena calidad!El sistema muy completo pues incluye la base para auto sin desembolsar más, el cojín del asiento es suuuper suave, con los accesorios de las viceras y cubre pies. Los materiales de primera pues se diferencia de las versiones que observé en tiendas como Liverpool, palacio y Sears (que por cierto ofrecen cada una color exclusivo) este color no lo vi en tiendas. Estamos muy satisfechos.Very good product really can feel the difference between chicco available in India and imported. Only negative part was that product was couriered with original pack with no extra cover which would result in product damage if you are unlucky. Overall Product quality is awesome but overpriced
