Those don't include the stroller.

I agree, I have a little one on way, we are suppose to go shopping next week. I wish I caught this deal on time. But too bad it's OOS and can't seem to get Amazon to price match.

Quote from tei2esa : I love the chicco cause it held my son until 20 months (I own the one that has 22lbs limit). My friend got the graco and her son was out of it at 6 months. I'm not sure why cause her son and my son are the same weight and height.

Our son was 97% weight, 90% height. We had to stop using the Graco infant seat (30 lb) because he outgrew the straps at 7 months. Could be the same problem.

I don't like travel systems, they are too heavy and bulky, and lots of better strollers will take a carseat.

However as travel systems go, this is the best one for the price, even at full price, so this is a good deal.

Don't neglect the 22 lb seat, if you have an average sized baby or smaller - babies usually outgrow the seats by height rather than weight.

Quote from rickrone : britax is garbage, its not premiere or a show off brand. no one uses britax. chicco is the best system period. it is also #1 in consumer reports. at this price it is a steal. mine is 4 years old and have zero problems with it, but at that time it was 300 - 350

nonsense, Britax is the best car seat maker, however their infant seat is really large, which defeats the purpose imo. I wouldn't buy a Britax infant seat just cause other brands like Graco and Chicco are just as safe and smaller/lighter, which is important when you carry the seat by hand. The Britaxs don't fit smaller back seats either. They're fine if you have a minivan.

For convertible or forward facing cars seats, however, you can't beat Britax.

Just get a Gracco 30 infant seat and a stroller frame, should be around $160 combined, and you'll love the lightweight stroller frame. The Graco is lighter than the Cortina seat, and higher rated (though the materials are nicer on the Chicco.)

When your infant is in a travel system, the whole thing is really heavy, and once he/she outgrows it, you're left with a big bulky stroller. Put your money elsewhere.

Great info here about strollers and baby stuff in general. The more you read, the less crap you'll have to buy.

Another reason for all the Chicco vs. Britax talk...

(iirc, been a couple of years now) the chicco keyfit30 and the britax chaperone were pretty much the only two infant car seats that you could put in a 5 pound newborn into. Most people would gladly pay less.

Dead? Cant add to cart anymore?

Good points.. Is this the best? I am looking for lighter system too.. Soem of these strollers are way too heavy and not fun to move them around

Thanks, bought this one.

Is this same as chicco quality? and ease?

Quote from VarmintCong : Don't neglect the 22 lb seat, if you have an average sized baby or smaller - babies usually outgrow the seats by height rather than weight.

THIS!! The additional weight limit from 22 to 30 lb is not going to be useful for most, unless the height limit were also higher (in this case they're both 30" height). So most kids will outgrow either seat by height. This is likely true whether kid is 5%, 50%, or 95% range.

Most infant seats have a height limit of either 29", 30", or 32", and each inch will give you about two more months of use, so up to six months of difference between 29" and 32" seat. So only consider the added weight capacity if the height limit is also increased.

That said, rather than get the biggest seat and trying to stretch it out all the way until the convertible seat, consider the possibility of two infant seats as a strategy from the beginning. Benefits can be lighter weight and size when lugging baby and seat together the first 6-9 months - though the Chicco 22 lb seat here is not actually lighter than the 30 lb one, other brands are lighter in the 22 lb seat.

But to offset the added cost of a two infant seat strategy, I second the suggestion of getting a lightweight stroller frame for the first months instead of a travel system stroller. Most find they want a better and lighter stroller after six months and know more about what they want at that point.

But great deal OP, at these types of prices the stroller is almost a freebie and a no-brainer. But make the choice based on the needs of the carseat, and only buy up to the travel system combo if the deal is good like this.

Quote from annex1982 : What store did you go to pricematch this? Did they accept the price even it's out of stock now? Trying to get the Adventure also, but it's Out of Stock

The Buy Buy Baby near me gave me a PM on the adventure as a "courtesy" even after the walmart one was out of stock.
