Disney Baby Mickey Mouse Amble Quad Travel System, Mickey Silhouette

Horrible! I bought this car seat for a baby shower. My nephew is now 2 months old and the canopy is broken. The clip to snap the car seat into the base is broken. The harness will tighten without anyone touching it and when you go to put him back in it, it's way too tight, it doesn't have the easy release between the baby's feet to loosen the straps so you have to remove the baby from the seat, flip it over and loosen them, it's not easy to do… I've had this personally happen to me while trying to put him in it. It's a terrible design and I question the safety of this seat.

Infant carry-car seats are a must-have. It ensures less disruption for sleeping babies, as well as acts as a protective outer shell to keep baby safe and secure…especially with newborns. You don’t want to be getting them out of their car seat when on-the-go…especially if they’re more fragile, warm and sleeping. They grow, heal and develop when they sleep so it’s best to let them do their thing without waking them. This set is great for year-round, but most especially during the winter. I didn’t have a set like this with my 1st born over a decade ago…just had the carry car seat. And although the seat with click-in base was awesome, I really should’ve had the stroller, too. When you live in MI and can have potentially icy conditions for 4-6 months/year, it’s really not safe to be lugging around a baby within or without a car seat alone. You really need the stability of a stroller to keep safe-footing…it’s safer for baby/toddler and safer for whoever’s caring for baby/toddler. I really like this stroller and infant car seat set. It’s a nice coed color/style in the gray and aqua. The stroller came in 7 pieces: the main piece, 3 wheels, 1 wheel and axle with brakes, the top caddy and the child’s tray/caddy. Everything snapped on very easily and within seconds…except for the top caddy. My husband and I had a rough time getting it to snap on over both sides. It was easy to get one side on, but we really had to stretch out the plastic to try to pop it on the other snap-in side. I hope this was just a fluke thing with ours. Otherwise, this may be a mass-flaw in size/manufacturing. Anyway, the car seat and base is on the larger-size than I’m used to seeing, however it’s very durable/lightweight. The stroller canopy has a half-moon-shaped “peek-hole-window”, so you can quickly peek at baby/toddler without looking around the front, or disrupting an attempt at sleep. The infant seat easily and securely clicks into the base in the car, as well as locks into the stroller. The stroller folds up and snaps together with a simple pull from a strap hidden within the seat. This set is ideal in safety, security, stability and efficiency. I think it should be mandatory that all infant carry car seats be purchased in a set with a compatible stroller. Don’t risk injury to precious cargo. If the top caddy fit properly, this would easily deserve a 5-star-rating. For that reason alone, I have to give 4-stars. Regardless, the top caddy is a convenient bonus and isn’t as important as the rest of the product(s).

This travel system is a great value. While not the cheapest nor the most expensive, it provides a good product to transport baby everywhere through the toddler stage until they demand a forward facing car set. My only concern is that everything about the construction of the stroller portion shouts one baby use only. That is, it is constructed of thin fabric that makes you wonder if it will survive past one child. Assembly was routine although I needed the persuasion of a rubber mallet to install the parent's cup holder tray. I also needed pliers to push in a cotter pin. All can be easily done in a half hour. The car base was installed using the latch system without problems. The rear facing baby cradle lifts and installs easily on the stroller and the car seat base. However, the cradle with baby is as heavy and awkward as ever to carry. It makes for a great upper body building exercise. As expected, the stroller with cradle & baby felt top heavy, so be careful on slopes and corners. Because the whole system felt slightly narrower than others I have used, I was a little more careful to avoid a sideways tumble. While traveling in this mode, baby can be fully covered by the shade. Current thinking of safety experts is that baby should ride backwards facing until at least 2 years and some even say 3 years. However, once baby sees a sibling riding forward facing, you will probably be persuade to buy a regular car seat. At that time, the cradle and car base can be held for future use, as it is extremely durable (although it has an expiration date due to the aging of the plastic). All cradle fabric appears washable but I have not done that yet. The stroller construction seems a step down from the cradle due to the use of many panels of thin fabric. I have my doubts about future reuse unless you are very gentle and careful. Well, first the good news. There is a huge cargo basket under the seat. It is probably the biggest one I have seen. That's all good because I seem to have to carry the whole kit and caboodle when traveling. Just don't put anything sharp or heavy in the fabric basket. The stroller is highly maneuverable with the dual front wheel set easily able to handle uneven grooves in the pavement. There is a retractable cover with a peekaboo window at the top. The bad news is that the seat back seems rather flimsy and barely reaches a 45 degree angle. The seat back angle is controlled by a strap that is secured by a plastic cam lock. Pull the strap and lock the cam to move the seat back towards vertical although you will never get to 90 degrees. The front wheels do not have any type of suspension to absorb jolts from pavement cracks. I certainly would keep this system on a paved path. There are two foot tabs to lock the back wheels. However, you need to lift up on the tabs to unlock and that may be painful if wearing sandals or flip flops. Or, you can bend down until you can almost touch the ground to unlock the wheels by hand. I prefer a push one tab to lock and push another tab to unlock. Oh well, one can always learn to live with the limitations.

The Safety First car seat is much narrower than a lot of car seats out there. Which is nice if you have a small car or need to fit more than 1 car seat. And it fits right onto the stroller with one click. The stroller folds by pulling a handle under the seat with one hand. It folds up nice and compact. And is lightweight. It has a removable child tray. When you have the car seat on the stroller, your baby can be completely covered by the canopies. The stroller was easy to put together and the car seat was already put together. I wish they had a little more cushion. But it's a nice set.

This travel system consists of the quad stroller, car seat and stay in car base. All parts are lightweight which make is easier for those of us who have trouble lifting weight. The lightweight makes it easier to put the car seat in and out the car with baby in it. The smaller size also allows the seat to comfortably fit in most cars. The system is so simple and easy to use as the seat snaps into the base with a gentle click. The same gentle click is all that is needed as well to attach it to the stroller. The stroller is folded up with a small tug on the release taking only seconds. The colors of the system are a neutral grey with soothing teal accents and only took 10 minutes to assemble. The rear facing infant seat holds up to a 22 pd baby which should last throught baby's first year. The stoller holds up to 50 pds making it's usage much longer and it's 5 point harnass can be converted to a 3 point to grow with the baby. The stroller is named amble for being such a gentle ride and I find this to be very true. The quad name refers to the dual front wheels in the front which can turn on a dime. I was impressed how well this stroller maneuvers while also being very stable. I find it's comfort and agility are comparable with more expensive systems making it a great buy. I also like the under the seat storage which is larger than most. The car seat also serves as a lightweight baby carrier serving two purposes. It has a padded infant head support and the sloped back design of the seat allows baby to be cradled back in the seat. This design helps to strop baby's head from bobbing forward as other seats allow making this a good choice for smaller babies.
