Chicco Cortina KeyFit 22 Travel System, Coventry Review
I researched for ages before deciding on the Chicco travel system. There was a lot to like about it..
1) the stroller was relatively light
2) easy to fold, while not quite one touch, folding is a painless process. My wife saw that as the main selling point when we were trying to chose. You do have to make sure the handle is in the right place to make it easier though.
3) maneuverable, very easy to get around on smooth pavement.
4) the infant seat clicks in very easily, you do again have to make sure the stroller's handle is in the correct position
5) the infant car seat fits easily in the base with a very reassuring click. You know it is locked in
6) while little bubs may not look comfortable to me, he sleeps very easily in the seat. Pretty much immediately after I put him in he falls asleep.
7) easy to tighten and sdjust the straps on the infant seat.
Now the dislikes of the stroller
1)very flimsy stroller, it looks cheaply made
2)not a fan of the plastic wheels, they get stuck on every curb and the stroller bounces a lot on anything that is not smooth pavement. I think it is a reflection of the wheels, too small so they limit where you can go with them
3) not much padding on the stroller.
4) The stroller takes up a lot of room in the trunk when folded, we have a VW Passat, and while not the largest trunk in the world, I did not expect not so little trunk space left!
5) Not sure we have a dodgy one but the front wheels sometimes lock themselves.
To be honest, this stroller will not last, while I am a fan of the infant seat, I do not see us with this stroller for very long. We will use the infant seat, which I am a huge fan until he grows out of it then move on to something else. So all in all it is worth 4 stars for the convenience of the travel system and the fact that our little one seems to like being in the infant seat. I am a bit concerned regarding the amount of padding on the seat after we remove the infant insert. For the price of the stroller and the seat, it is a great buy.

Amazing Car Seat; very durable and so easy to use. - G. Engler - Seattle, WA
We thought long and hard about which car seat to get. We settled on this one for the following reasons:
1) the minimum weight for the seat is 4lbs, we never thought we would have a medical emergency when we purchased the seat, but we did. Our daughter was born just over 5lbs. Hospitals require that all children under 6lbs do a oxygen test in the car seats to check if the position of the car seat hinders any oxygen supply for small infants. This car seat passed with flying colors and the nurse noted that only a handful of Graco car seats ever passed.
2) It is made out of quality durable material-- some of the graco car seat fabric seemed really cheap. It also very easy to clean.
3) The adjustments are very easy, just one easy pull. So easy-- none of that fliping the seat over and adjusting straps.
4) it was very nice looking seat, we still really admire it.
5) fits in all grocery cars
6) the infant inserts seemed very comfy and they did a great job holding the head steady.
Also, we thought the only negative to the seat was that the weight is only up to 22lbs. However, this turned out to NOT be an issue. Our daughter was just around 22lbs on her first birthday and i cannot imagine trying to carry a child over 22lbs in a car seat, that will be so heavy. Plus children already walk.

Very easy to use, car seat has excellent padding and easy to install. Stroller pushes very easily, but would be nice if it were a little lighter.
Fabric very easy to clean and LOVE the colors!!
Best carseat/stroller combo ever! - Christina Copley -
I thought about and researched carseats and strollers for a long time before I decided on this one. I love how sturdy the carseat is. The handle does not waiver at all, once its locked into place, its not budging! I also love how easily it is to manuver the stroller, especially because I have a 3 year old that has to hold my hand while walking. This carseat/stroller makes this busy Mom very happy!!
