Customer Reviews
Pretty Neat Stroller Frame...
I have a Graco Snug Ride II carseat...I selected this stroller frame because I had a gift certificate that covered the cost of it so it would be free.
Upon assembly, we attempted to attach the car seat to the stroller frame. The instructions made it look like the back part of the car seat should snap onto the frame. Our car seat does not.
Called customer service, got a prompt friendly associate on the phone who informed me that Graco Snugride II will not snap onto this frame, but that the safety strap should adequately secure the seat to the frame.
So for that, I take away one star.
However, the other four stars are well deserved. Here's why:
1. It fits in the trunk of my Honda Civic with room to spare.
2. It is lightweight.
3. You truly CAN open and close it with one hand, LOVE THIS!!
4. The ride is SMOOTH regardless of terrain.
5. The handle is just right for a 5 ft 2 mom. No back strain or arm tiredness from improper height.
6. The basket on the bottom is SPACIOUS and easy to access. Big ole diaper bag and Mom's purse fit nicely.
7. The parent tray is spacious and holds keys.
As for a recommendation, I am on the fence. I would prefer for the seat to snap onto the frame, this still bothers me. However, all the other features are important and work well for this product, including availability of customer service to quickly answer questions. So I would say I am 51% leaning towards a "Would Recommend" for the Kolcraft Universal Car Seat Carrier...
WARNING: Universal does not mean Universal
According to the manufacturer, this car seat carrier is NOT compatible with thousands of infant car seats on the market despite the clearly misleading name "Universal". I bought the top rated infant car seat by Britax and then this carrier based on the box which said compatible with Britax. After reviewing the instructions, I found it was not compatible with this and many other infant car seats.
Awesome stroller!
We bought this used before my daughter was born and it is absolutely one of the best purchases we made. Its lightweight, folds and unfolds easily even with one hand. It folds down really small (great when you have a smallish compact car like we do). The basket is huge -- it fits my largest diaper bag, purse, and a couple shopping bags. The handle is softly cushioned and feels nice. It steers really well, even when weighed down with baby and with a full basket. (I once used it to transport a case of water (in the infant seat), 36 cans of pop, a couple bags of chips, and a few packages of cookies while we were out and trying to move party supplies, and it STILL steered great with all that weight.)
I love it. LOVE it. I wish I could find a regular stroller that I loved as much -- it's going to be a hard act to follow.
One caveat: with our Combi infant carrier baby sat fairly upright, much at the same angle as when the carseat was in the car. When we borrowed a Graco infant seat from a friend after we were in a car accident, I found that the Graco reclined quite a ways. That would've been great for a young baby but my daughter was 4 months old and liked sitting upright a bit more.
