Anyone have a Chicco KeyFit Travel System?

winofairy · August 2012

I'm thinking about buying a chicco keyfit travel system. I've found a really good deal on one and was wondering if any of you would please share your pros vs cons...

I don't have the entire travel system, but we do have the Chicco Keyfit 22 car seat. It's a great car seat, though heavier than some of the others. When we were waiting to be matched, we built our registry off recommendations from Baby Bargains. They don't really like travel systems b/c of how bulky they are, and looking back, I'm glad we went the route we did.

We have a snap & go which we used to tote around the infant carrier. Now that DS is big enough for a regular stroller, we have a Britax that we really like. It's a lot lighter than the travel system and folds down with one hand.

That's just my opinion though...I'm sure there are folks that love their travel system just as much as I love my set up But to answer your question -- Chicco Keyfit is a really good brand that we've been happy with.

We love ours! Before D outgrew the infant seat it was so so easy to go places because it just clicked into the stroller. I do miss that because now that he's in a convertable seat its a pain getting him in and out of the car.

I really have no complaints.

You should snatch up that deal!

We have the KeyFit 30 and did a similar setup. So glad we didn't do the travel system - I never would have been able to leave the house the first 4 weeks to go for a walk (my doc's rule is 4 weeks post c/s before lifting/stairs/driving, etc.). The Snap N Go was ideal and once DD was wanting to lay flat more, we used the Zooper stroller.

It is funny you should ask that because I have been researching what route we were going to take with our stroller. This weekend, my cousin who just had a baby--now 3 months) bought the Chicco Keyfit 30 travel system. She loves it and swears by it so I registered for it as well.

I registered for the Chicco KeyFit 30 Everyone I know that has had one swears by it, so that's what we'll be getting.

I have the key fit 30 and the travel system that I used with my DD. She is now three and the stroller still looks in perfect condition! It is extremely durable and is sooo simple to use. I love it and will be purchasing a new one for the new baby

I would also love to add that the lullaby LX pack n/ play is amazing as well. we still have DD's and will be using that for this baby too. very good quality products so its worth the money

YES!! DH found one at a garage sale that was only used at the family's parent's home occassionally. Hello - BEST. PNP. EVER!! I would never have asked for the Graco one if I had known!

The best part - the mattress - you can take the boards out and was the mattress pad! You can't do that with the Graco.

I have it & love it. I got it with #1 and used it for #2 & will with #3 too. It's easy to take apart and clean and I love the stroller. Good choice!

bobcatsteph · August 2012

We got it for #1 and we will use it for #2. We love it and we used the stroller until DD turned 3. The stroller is super easy to fold and unfold and I don't feel like it's that bulky at all.

My sister has this system and LOVES it. I plan to register for it as well

We got one with DS that came with the KeyFit 30, and we really loved it. A lot of folks think the stroller is heavy and prefer the Snap n Go, but DH and I both really preferred the travel system stroller to the Snap n Go and still use it regularly (DS is 21 months now).

The carseat is awesome and easy to use!

bergerbride · August 2012

I used it for my first and loved it! I think it's perfect and the stroller really held up through years of abuse and some rough Disney trips! Lol

Its super easy to use and fold up... And it holds a lot of stuff underneath and the long bar across the top is helpful for holding your bag and stuff.

I will be using the same carseat for my second but I need to get a new stroller for sure! I hope I am able to buy the same one just separate but I haven't looked into it yet.

tulipblossom · August 2012

I got it for DD also and love it. I have still been using the stroller and DD is almost 14 months.I do not think its too bulky or heavy ect. I also think its the easiest closing stroller there is. And I love that it can stand up on its end. I cannot say enough good things about it

Also if your worried about bulk Chicco just came out with their own snap and go. I am not a fan of snap & gos but it may be something to look into as well.

We've got the Keyfit 30? I think and love it. The carseat was good for DD til she was over a year old, and the stroller is still fantastic. The only con we have, is that the stroller does NOT fold small. I have a Chevy equinox, which is a mid-size SUV and I have to angle the stroller to get it into the back of my car. However, my friend has a Honda accord and it does fit in hers....so it can be done as long as you don't always have a full trunk!

I have it and cannot say a bad thing about it. It is wonderful!
