Premier Merge Travel System

I have a greyco evolution i never had to have anything else since. Goes from infant seat to booster. Worth the money

I had a January baby in New England!  I went back and forth depending on my preference, the surface, and how cold it was.  We used a graco stroller and car seat combo a lot, with the baby in a fleece jacket and tucked into a blanket.  We also got a fleecy bunting thing that could go in the stroller seat (not the car seat), and if it was frigid I would put her in the baby carrier and zip my coat around us both.  We had her in a hat all the time.  I loved our walks.  I would flip flop the car seat attachment for the stroller seat pretty easily, so I kept both in the car and would just use whatever I felt like at the time.  Takes up the whole trunk lol but otherwise this worked well for us.   I’m pregnant and due in January again lol and the only thing I might change is to get the bassinet for walks, as i think it would be nice for napping. I would do fleece plus bunting or blankets again with that.

Hi- mom to a 10 month old. We’ve loved our Graco system. The 3-4 way travel set is the way to go. Car seat, car seat base, bassinet, and stroller all comes in one box, $399. He’s finally outgrowing his car seat now but he’s also 99th percentile in height. And we just purchased the Graco toddler car seat, love it already!

I love my travel system. I have a graco one. Use all the time.

We got a graco travel system with the infant car seat. I loved it. The infant carseat we were able to use it for awhile. I know a lot of people complain the infant carseat gets too heavy to take out all the time, but that's what we did. I loved the bassinet feature with the stroller. And then it converted to toddler stroller. We still use it and my daughter is 2. It is not the smallest when folded, but that's my only complaint. We mainly use it in the neighborhood so keep it open in the garage for easy use. I have an umbrella stroller to take on errands that I know I need it to keep her contained, like the DMV.

We bought a graco travel system on sale (Black Friday) for like $250. The infant seat was great, I loved that it locked into the stroller, and the basset function was great. We never used the toddler seat because we got a BOB stroller. We then got one of the Graco rotating seats after we were done with the infant car seat.

The amount of time I’ve saved not having to take the baby out of the car seat every time we park and go in somewhere is 1000% worth the $100 or so dollars a perfectly good baby seat costs. Not waking baby up every time is also worth it, especially in those first few months when their sleep is so erratic. We got an affordable stroller/carrier combo and it was definitely worth it. I can’t think of any reason I’d spend $600+ on a stroller system when my Graco works perfectly well. If you don’t mind spending the money, cool, but then I’d also spend the money to get a baby car seat that attaches to your stroller.

I also live in the US and my stroller system is a similar price to what it was when it was purchased a year ago. Again, it’s your prerogative to spend $600 instead of choosing a different stroller. But if you’re willing to spend extra money on that, I’d also spend the extra money for the infant car seat that attaches because it will make life infinitely more convenient than whatever the difference between a $300 stroller system and $600 stroller does.
