opinions on this travel system?

polka.dot

I am due in january and we are on a tight budget. i found an amazing deal ($99 for infant carseat, base, and stroller) on a travel system in Kmart. it is made by cosco and cute enough, and unisex. BUT there are no customer reviews so i am worried as to the quality / safety of this product. does anyone have any experience with the brand or product or know anything about it?

here is the link if you want to see what i am talking about. thanks!

Answer
All car seats have to pass the same minimum testing. So it is safe.
However you do get what you pay for. A more expensive one will have a higher weight limit on the infant seat, more absorbent foam in the seat, added accessories, ect.

Here are some reviews for this travel system by Cosco.

Unless you walk a lot, chances are the stroller won't be used much. I know so many people that never used their stroller. You could get a nicer car seat if you didn't get the combo. Just something to think about.

I know you said money was tight, but for a little more you could get this set, that is much better.

Edited to add~ Options on just the carrier, then you can save the rest that you would have sepnt on the travel system for a new car seat, since chances are this will not last until the baby is 1 year old.

Answer
Baby is a loose term.. define baby? I've never been a wrap user because I just carried my child or had her in her stroller. But they're probably great for busy women who need their hands, have an older child or go out often and get tired of carrying a super light baby.

But I'll use baby as within the first year, and I couldn't have gotten through my first year without a swing, a jumper, or a walker. Later on, I definately needed toys that light up or make noise. And I wished I had just splurged on a travel system instead of getting everything seperately. Once she could sit up, I needed a cart cover. And I just tonight finally bought an umbrella stroller, for quick trips in and out, or for small stores or offices.

I also loved my boppy. I didn't nurse but it was great for helping my daughter sit up and I snuggled up with it for short naps sometimes, too. The shape and support were quickly comforting.
