User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars Would never recommend this system
We bought this system to use with our new baby daughter. From the start, it has been frustrating. I would never recommend another Eddie Bauer (and it seems they are made by Dorel Juvenile Group) product, as we are now attempting to use an Eddie Bauer covertible seat given to us as a gift, and I’m not much happier. We also have the pack’n play from this set, and the changing table ripped within 3 months of use with a brand new baby–they won’t pay to fix it. Poor craftsmanship on ALL of these products. Issues with this seat/stroller:
1) The straps twist CONSTANTLY, and are impossible to get untwisted. I’ve resigned myself to having to strap my daughter into the seat with straps twisted over themselves 2-3 times. I’ve since read other reviews, and they say the same thing.
2) The sun hood on the seat is warped, and will not stay where you place it–it came this way. Unable to fix it. It also will only come up to where the carrier handle is, so can only face one way. Other maker seats let the hood go under the handle so you can adjust for the direction the sun is coming from.
3) This is a HEAVY carrier to lug around with your baby inside. Much heavier than graco counterparts.
4) To hook into the bottom belt buckle in the carrier, you must hold the two pieces of the harness strap together to make the plastic “buckles” line up to fit into the base buckle. This is VERY difficult to do one handed with a squirming infant.
5) Stroller: to put carrier on top you must use a provided metal bar that hooks into the stroller. The plastic it hooks into is flimsy and thin. Ours is already bending easily. You must take this bar out to put child into stroller without carrier. It is a nuisance. Stroller is otherwise ok, but altogether not a good buy considering my great dislike of the carrier.
1 Star Horrible Infant Car Seat!
Do not waste your money on this travel system. The infant car seat is horrible to use. The buckle is like a puzzle piece! I also had difficulty lining up the car seat w/ the base in order for it to “snap” in place. I agree with the previous reviewer about the stroller and the odd metal bar that is necessary for use w/ the car seat. Unfortunately, I was so frustrated w/ this system that I ended up buying another infant seat. I would recommend the Chicco KeyFit infant seat. It was like a dream after dealing w/ this nightmare!
3 Stars Keep looking
Overall, it works and seems like a safe, quality product. Would I buy it again knowing what I know now (have been using it for 5 weeks)? NO.
Pro: softer fabric than most travel systems, good padding, nice pattern
Con: buckle in infant carrier is very wide- we have to bend my daughter’s legs so her knees point out, otherwise it is digging into her inner thighs. stroller and carrier are very heavy and cumbersome to load in the car. easy to understand but takes forever to adjust shoulder straps.
