I have always loved the concept of a universal car seat stroller. Until now, I thought that the Kolcraft was the best. However, I am now a Maclaren Easy Traveler convert! 5.0 out of 5 stars

Compared to the other snap-n-go options out there, this one is far superior. 5.0 out of 5 stars

I am in decent physical condition, and after throwing out my back lifting a different 27-lb so-called "medium-weight" stroller in and out of the trunk for daily errands, I knew I needed an alternative. <br/><br/>Pros: <br/>--Extremely lightweight <br/>--Folds and stores easily <br/>--The mesh basket is HUGE. I can fit my "diaper bag" (LL Bean Deluxe backpack), purse, hat, and so on. You have to think a little bit ahead to configure items if you want to access them once the car seat is on, but it has worked for me. <br/>--The Britax Companion clips onto the frame. It's not a tight clip like a car seat base, but you shouldn't be driving this at high speeds anyway :) <br/>--There is an additional safety strap that *must* go across the car seat at child's hips to fully secure it on. This is a bit of a hassle to remember to do every time, but an important safety feature. <br/>--I am 5'0" and my husband is 6'3", and we both are comfortable pushing it. <br/><br/>Cons (depending on your situation): <br/>--Yes, it has a large footprint (roughly 22" wide x 37" long). The width is what makes it seem bigger than most strollers. Thus, if you live in an area with very tight shopping aisles or busy sidewalks, this item may not be for you. <br/>--The "bottle" holder is for a *baby* bottle, not an adult water bottle or coffee cup. We didn't even bother to put it on. If you must have a place for your coffee cup, this may not be for you. <br/>--The wheels could be a little bigger and/or have slightly more shock absorption, even for relatively smooth terrain. I use this stroller for indoor shopping and short outdoor walks. If sidewalks have uneven crags, I have to lift the wheels a bit to get over them. Don't expect to go off-roading or jogging with this! That's not its intended purpose. <br/>--Obviously you can use it only as long as your baby is in an infant car seat, but I thought it was well worth the money even for that time period. <br/><br/>Overall, I would recommend as an everyday stroller to keep in the trunk of you car for light errands.
