we are planning to buy travel system for our 1st baby and after reading all reviews, we kind of confuse between 3 travel system,1:Safety First Safety 1st Acella Sport Travel System, 2:Cosco - Travel System, Thorndale, 3:Graco - LiteRider Travel System with SnugRide.. I love safety1st travel system but i dont know how good is that so if anyone use this and have idea which one is good for 1st time parents..
thanks for ur answer
Answer
Safety 1st and Cosco are the worst carseats on the market. You couldn't pay me to use one. I'd go with the Graco. They're all cheaply made and built and aren't that great in crash tests when compared to the models which have internal steel supports that will protect baby better than the plastic. The only ones that have this are Mia Moda, Britax, Chicco, and Peg Perego seats. I wouldn't waste money on an infant seat when I can spend a couple hundred dollars on a really good steel frame seat (Sunshine Kids Radian, Britax Marathon, Fisher Price Safe Voyage (cheap at 165 dollars) which will hold your child in a 5 pt harness to 65 lbs. You'll only be using the infant seat for the first 3 or 4 mos as a carrier. Baby will outgrow it or will just be too heavy to lug around. Get a good seat and just get a cheap stroller. More economical and safer.

Get the Baby Trend stroller, but not the car seat. The car seats are a pain in the neck to buckle (you have to hold the buckle parts together while you push them in, at the same time, which can be very difficult and annoying.) The stroller though is easy to push, quiet, and works very well for 2 months up. I wish mine had the speakers. :P We bought a speaker for $20 though, and that works well. The large wheels make it easier to push in sand, dirt, grass, up curbs, over cracks, etc. So I definitely love that stroller.
As for Safety First, I'm not a fan after we had one and it started giving problems after a short period of time (car seat I mean.) The stroller also looks like a basic one, and they tend to give handling problems. I'd have to go to Babies R Us and try the stroller to see how far back it lays. It says it has a multi-position recline, but it doesn't say at what age you can use the stroller. From what I'm reading, they expect you to use the car seat in the stroller to use it from newborn on... which is dangerous. You don't want to use car seats in strollers do to breathing problems.
I'm not a fan of being roped into a travel system. You can usually find the car seat and stroller of your dreams if you don't try to buy them together. Baby Trend jogging strollers are wonderful, but I don't like their car seats. The Chicco strollers lay completely flat, making them perfect for newborns up (and you can usually find them on craigslist or used for cheaper) but I don't particularly like them because the wheels aren't those large wheels that work so well for obstacles. Car seats, I like the Chicco, Graco Snugride 35, Britax... the Safety First one might be okay but like I said I ran into problems with their brand in the past.
Add: For the record, the Baby Trend is classified as a jogger, but the instructions say to use it mostly as an 'all terrain', and not just a jogger. I've never jogged with mine. You don't have to jog to use a jogger, they're made for more than that.
