Safety 1st Acella Sport Travel System

My husband and I live overseas and because we did not like the three pattern choices the base offered for baby gear and affordable options were limited we decided to order online. (It was literally cheaper to send the package to my sister and have her mail it to us than to buy a stroller and or car seat downtown considering the prices and exchange rate).

My husband and I picked this stroller based on the color and the great reviews. We researched several websites before deciding on this travel system. I really like the color and the appearance of this travel system. I'm happy that the car seat is certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft.

I do have four complaints:

1. I'm disappointed that more information about how it operates was not available on any website I found. Information like certification for use in aircraft certainly would have been helpful.

2. When I received the travel system I carefully read the instruction manual and was amazed that information about how to insert and remove the car seat from the base was excluded. It was easy enough to figure out after a little trial and error, but still that information is just as important as knowing how to buckle the car seat into the car.

3. While I'm glad the car seat has a 5 point harness system there is one thing that I don't like about it- the lap buckle. The lap buckle is made of plastic and you have to fit the two plastic shapes together before you can snap it in. The stroller seat belt is better because each piece snaps in individually.

4. The only thing I'm disappointed with the stroller is that it has only two reclining positions- the baby can either sit straight up or in a recline position, but he can't lay flat- which is something else I would have liked to have known before purchasing this travel system.

I was very suprised by this travel system. It is a great light blue/black color, modern, easy to push around and very easy to assemble. The only issue I have is that it is a little difficult to buckle the five point harness on the car seat. You really have to push hard to get it all together. I am hoping that over time this will loosen up and buckle more easily. Other than that, nice system for the money and really sharp looking, especially for little boys.

This stroller is lightweight, easy to maneuver and very durable. It is very easy to collapse and fold and open. Everything snaps into place so you know it is secure.

There's a tray for rattles, toys, or other baby type things. There's a tray with cupholders for the pushers and even a cell phone holder.

You can check on the baby through a "window" while you are strolling along as well. We are glad we purchased this system and highly recommend it.

We went back and forth on what we thought would work for us. We wanted something lightweight, something that would work for a boy, would be easy to keep clean and easy to manuever. This stroller has all the above and more. I looked at tons of strollers and read all the reviews. I am so glad that we decided on this stroller. It's everything that you could ask for in a stroller. Yes its not a big name but believe me the big name strollers have nothing on this one. The pictures do not do justice. It's so easy to move around with the way the wheels are set up in front. Not like one of those joggers. The car seat is lightweight and has just the right amount of padding. Basket below is large enough to hold all the extra's you carry around with a baby. I was hesitant buying it since I didn't get to see it in person and try it out in a store, but I am glad that I read all the reviews written by everyone else. Our little boy isn't due until July but I can't wait to use it.

Its a nice stroller for the money. Design is diff from the regular GRACOs.
I wish color combination could have been lil better..
After assembling this stroller I found real nice stroller from Safety !st itself at target for the similar price range. Hard to return this stuff once assembeled..so will stick with it..Overall its a nice piece..
