Bravo 3-in-1 Quick-Fold Trio Travel System

The perfect travel system doesn’t exist. Save your sanity and buy something within budget that will work for you and your lifestyle (maybe prioritize something lightweight!) today. No need to stress about future children, weight limits etc. I drove myself crazy finding the perfect travel system! We ultimately went with the chicco mini bravo plus system because of the price point, high safety rating on the keyfit 30, and option to use the stroller without the infant seat.

Your travel system is primarily a tool. You’re going to spend a lot of time hauling baby around in it — IF you are car dependent. While I would encourage considering usability above aesthetic, this sounds like a larger question of money between you and your partner that no one else can answer or solve for you. Regarding uppababy travel systems, we have a vista and I can’t imagine using that thing for everyday errands, bringing baby to the pediatrician, etc. I love our vista for long walks and errands I run on foot, but not for small trips via car. The thing is heavy and bulky and takes up a ton of space in the car. We use a smaller chicco stroller for our travel system and I still think it’s too big and a pain to haul out 90% of the time. I normally end up just hauling baby in and out places in his infant carseat and placing it in the cart. In this regard, the minu might be a better bet over for sure the vista but also maybe the Cruz. I’d recommend getting a feel for them in person though and really consider your use basis for your travel system.

Totally different from your other brands but I’m 5’2” as well, my mom is 5”, and my husband is 6” even and we all love my Chicco Keyfit 30 travel system. It is a comfortable height for all of us and my son loves it as well! Mine came with an infant seat, base, base to attach it to the stroller, and a big kid seat for the stroller and we’ve used it for 2 years and love it. It folds up easily, fits in our sedan and our hatchback, and it’s not too big and bulky for my mom and I to handle ourselves.

We had a Chicco Bravo single wide on board and it was tight in the hallways and room. I’d venture to guess that a double wide would be near impossible. Also, in our experience, we rarely used the stroller on the ship for sea days (with a 9 month old) and just took it out for port days off ship

We've got the chicco bravo quick-fold. The website says it's good for up to 50lbs (22.5kg). My girl is about 35" (89cm) right now and she's still got plenty of room.

Check out lightweight strollers and car seats since you’ve got shoulder issues. The Chicco Bravo quick-Fold is a good pick for a stroller; it’s light and folds up easy... For a car seat, look at the Graco SnugRide; it’s not super heavy and scores well on safety. You can also hit up borncritic for reviews and guides on these.
