Cosco Kids Lift & Stroll Travel System, Zahari

I got this as a gift for my new granddaughter and I was the one who had to put it together. I was a little overwhelmed when I pulled everything out of the box, but then realized it was already mostly put together! I only had to snap on a few things and it took only a couple of minutes and it was ready to roll, literally! Very, very pleased with it and so was my family. It is beautiful, comfortable, and so light but sturdy! This can be used for a long time as it is built for infants on up to older toddlers. This is a great investment and we all really love it. Safe, beautiful, sturdy, yet light weight so easy to put in the car and take out. Great gift or purchase for yourself.

To start, I received this product free in exchange for an honest review. This set includes 3 pieces; infant carrier, stroller, and a base for the infant carrier. My favorite thing about this set is that its design is appropriate for either boy or girl. In addition to the adorable design of giraffes and elephants, the stroller is lightweight, and very easy for moms on the go to load, and unload. A few of my favorite features for the stroller are the removable cup holder for when baby becomes toddler and the additional cup holder for mom/dad. I also really appreciated the ease at which the stroller can be folded and packed away, and also the ease at which the infant carrier can be attached and removed. Another really cool thing about this combo is that you can open both the shade for the stroller and the carrier effectively shielding baby. So over all the design of this stroller is a winner for the mom on the go! Thank You and hope this review was helpful!

I received this lift and stroll system from the Spark Review and it is the best product I have received. I am 71 year old senior thas been in a wheel chair with a back problem for the last five years. I have tried walkers but the handles are ne er high enough which makes my back hurt so I don't walk. I know it sounds nuts for an older person to walk around with a stroller but it is the perfect handle height. I am now going on daily walks using this stroller to give me the stability to walk without fear of falling. Cup holders are great for my water bottles. Go to library and put books in under basket. Take my little dog walking and when she wants to ride I put her in the seat. Thanks for my new found freedom.

When unfolding the stroller there is a safety latch that you will need to unlatch, once you unlatch just pull the handle bar upward and the stroller will unfold and lock into place (listen for it to click). Front wheels just snap on. The back wheels have a braking system that is attached to a rod which you will place the wheel then a washer then a clip that you will push through the hole (straight piece only) then just snap cover piece on the wheel. Once you have assembled the back wheels, just snap the whole piece into the strollers back wheel base. The tray simply slides into the clips that are on the stroller. (Simple) The pink plastic cover is removable for easy cleaning. (great cleaning feature) The tray has release buttons/latches that allow you to push one or both to remove or just to open making it easier for you to remove your child. There is a handle at the seat (inside) of the stroller which you just life up and the stroller will automatically fold ready to be stored or place in your car for travel. (Make sure that nothing or anyone is in the way when doing this, avoiding injury). The car seat requires no assembly comes ready to use. All that you have to do is on the straps just adjust them in front as well and in the back (of the car seat) to fit snug on your child. (Remember to make sure the buckle in front is connected to the chest level to the child's armpits). Also, when placing the base of the car seat into the car make sure that the base is level, if you need to add a towel to the base where it will make the car seat level. (See instructions). On the shade of the car seat just slide it to one side (I found it easier to my left) to snap off place both in a fist touching one another knuckles up then stick out both thumbs still holding the fist closed, have the thumbs touching each other. Now, place your hands on the strap that holds the shade and push both thumbs away from you as you pull the straps (left hand to the left, right hand to the right). This will allow you to take off the shade and was it (gentle cycle-DO NOT PLACE IN DRYER-AIR DRY ONLY). This car seat come with a base that you can place in your vehicle permanently so that all you have to do is lift the handle in the back of the car seat (color is Gray) to remove it or to snap into the base when placing it either the base or to the stroller. This is a well designed stroller/car seat set with base, as well as it is light in weight for easier storage.

In my opinion, this compatible infant car seat and stroller system is a major essential. I recently got a 3-in-1 car seat for my 1 year old. Although it is for 9 lbs and up, it is not as handy as these infant carry car seats that snap into the stroller. Babies fall asleep A LOT in cars. It only makes sense to be able to keep them comfy and undisturbed when getting them out of the car. This car seat makes it possible. And if you are healing from a cesarian section or just can't or don't want to carry the seat around, you can snap it into the stroller and store your diaper bag, purse, etc. below. I have 3 kids, 2 of which are almost 2 years apart. I badly needed this, as I cannot carry my youngest and everything I needed for her; AND hold my son's hand at the same time, along with my purse. Anyway, I love this stroller and the way it's designed. You snap in 2 wheels/covers and you're done. It opens so easily and closes with a pull strap that you can do with one hand. I've never seen a stroller that folds this way. It's inside-out, which is very space-saving, however if your trunk is dirty and you put this in there, it may not be preferable to have the seat part touching your trunk. If so, just put an unused garbage bag down and problem solved. The stroller is easy to push over any terrain, lightweight but sturdy and turns very well. The car seat tethers easily to the anchors in your car and the seat locks in and releases very easily but is secure. It locks in the same way to the stroller, too. Very secure. I love the neutral colors of these. I did notice one thing that threw me off for a minute. The 5 point harness on the car seat fits into the lock buckle differently than I'm used to seeing. Normally you insert the left and right side buckles in separately. With this car seat, you have to fit the 2 buckles together 1st (one over top of the other) and insert that as a whole into the buckle. You can't go wrong with this travel system. Even after your little one outgrows the car seat, they'll still fit in the stroller for several years.
