Average customer review:Product Description
The Easy Traveler turns your baby's car seat into a stroller, providing an affordable alternative to investing in a universal travel system. Best of all, you can pop the car seat out of the car and into the frame without having to wake your baby! Why it's a giggle pick: This is a handy alternative to a universal system that's great for travel, and it can enjoy a second life as a handy shopping basket. Who it's perfect for: Parents whose stroller doesn't provide a snap-and-go option, or whose car seat isn't compatible with their stroller.Click here for more product details.Safety Announcement: Please click here for information regarding this product.

Customer Reviews
No one mentioned this tiny little fact:
I am sure the Maclaren Easy Traveller is everything everyone says it is. I myself have a Quest for my 2 year old & couldn't be happier. That is why I purchased to Easy Traveller for my baby on the way. I thought how could I go wrong?
I read all the wonderful reviews and knew I'd love it too. Except for the fact that no one has mentioned its size. It is HUGE. I was only assuming it'd be the size of my Quest & I could use stroller adaptors to connect the two if need be. That definitely isn't happening. I am still shocked by its size. I am so sad to send it back for a refund. Its size just isn't for me. Just to descibe a little more for the people who expect it to be Quest-sized, it is about as wide as a Graco Quattro Tour & very tall.
I just figured I'd take the time to share my opinion as I really appreciated everyone else's while I was on my search.
Super light and convenient
I wish I had purchased this item sooner! 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.
Pros:
--Extremely lightweight
--Folds and stores easily
--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.
--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 :)
--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.
--I am 5'0" and my husband is 6'3", and we both are comfortable pushing it.
Cons (depending on your situation):
--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.
--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.
--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.
--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.
Overall, I would recommend as an everyday stroller to keep in the trunk of you car for light errands.
Wow - this stroller ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!
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! This fits my Graco Safeseat perfectly. It turns on a dime and has a very smooth ride. Folds easily and is very compact/lightweight. So handy! You won't need anything else as long as your baby is in an infant car seat (except for a jogging stroller). This is a stylish and well thought out product. Wonderful!
