Totally love it!

by orions-mama , Apr 18 '01
Pros: cheaper than paying for car seat and stroller separately
Cons: Child may outgrow the car seat before 1 year old
Except for the fact that my son is very tall and outgrew the car seat at 4 months old, I loved the ease of use with this combo. The carrier fit nicely onto the stroller, and now that I don't use the carrier I like having the option of a padded cover or...

Pros: Great features, easy to steer, tons of room, great suspension for a smooth ride
Cons: Carrier is heavy and stroller is large whether open or collapsed
The stroller/car seat selection can be overwhelming when you look up and down the aisles at babies r us and related stores. Convertible, infant rear facing, umbrella, travel system. What to pick and what to do. When I first found out I was pregnant I...

The Cadillac of Strollers!

by Heathers75 , Sep 16 '00
Pros: 5 point harness, 1 handed steering, easy fold up, cup holder and snack compartment
Cons: Bulky
When I found out I was pregnant, my husband and I decided that we wanted a stroller/carseat combo. We figured it would be nice to transfer the baby from the back seat to the stroller without waking him up. I did a bunch of research and we decided on...

by Rochelle209 , May 05 '00
Pros: easy to steer
Cons: squeaky wheels
I bought this with my second child & LOVE it! We bought a cheap stroller the first time around. I hated to wake my son up to get him from the car to his stroller so this stroller is blessing. I like having a drink holder, my husband is a big drink...

Lifesaver!

by 1mattsmom , Mar 20 '00
Pros: easy, practical, cute
Cons: none
I love our stroller/carseat combo! I can't imagine life with baby without it. It's wonderful to be able to put Matthew straight from the car into his stroller, or into the house without waking him.

It has been especially nice during the...

All Systems Go: A Great Investment

by AKVision , Jun 13 '00
Pros: Convenience; Folds/unfolds easily; comfortable for baby
Cons: Price (ours cost more because it says 'OshKosh' on it); Squeaky wheels (that can be easily fixed)

We purchased the Evenflo Trendsetter Advantage Travel System because it had all the conveniences of a stroller, carseat, and carrier in one unit. Although we have encountered a few snags along the way, they have all been easily addressed (see...

Rolls Royce of Strollers

by RosiesMom , Mar 20 '00
Pros: Very easy
Cons: Costly
I went to ToysRUs to find the easiest stroller to use. Easy to get my baby in and out of, easy to collapse, and easy to get the car seat in and out. This does it all. It was a bit more expensive than I wanted to spend, but after comparing all the...

Useful and time saving

by frankandleah , May 16 '00
Pros: Time saving, practical, easy to assemble, folds up easily.
Cons: car seat only for smaller infants
The Evenflo Trendsetter Advantage is a great stroller. My wife and I looked around and were surprised by all of the different models of strollers available. At first glance, the Evenflo stroller looks strange and confusing. That's because it is not a...

Evenflo Makes It Easy to Go

by MagCentaur , May 06 '00
Pros: multi-functional, safe, easy to use
Cons: weight of carrier
I started liking my mother-in-law much more after she gave us the Trendsetter. This baby's convenient, functional, and the 4x4 of strollers.

The car seat/carrier snaps in and out of the base (the carrier is also able to be strapped securely...

Its Come a Long Way, Baby!!!!

by ShannonGray , Sep 20 '00
Pros: Very convenient, Easy to maneuver, Smooth ride
Cons: Can't go at jogging speed, Scuffs easily
Travel systems have made a significant improvement since I had my first daughter in 96. Then I had a Century with a multitude of problems. Her poor head always flopped forward in the car, it was so difficult to take in and out, and appears so generic...

Wonderful Stroller!

by lyndsayb , Mar 02 '00
Pros: Easy steering, quick collapse
Cons: Large when collapsed
I received this as a gift, and it's actually not the stroller I wanted, but kept it anyway. I love it!! It is so easy to collapse and re-open. It also steers wonderfully. I used my sister's stroller - a different kind - and couldn't believe how much...

As new parents we did all kinds of research online to find the perfect stroller and we got out there and did a little hands-on testing. We purchased this stroller because it encompassed all of the units that new parents need. The car seat with base; is...

Worth Getting

Pros: very convenient
Cons: stiff lock/unlock buttons on carseat
We purchased the Evenflo Trendsetter because it had the base, curved carrying handle, and the carseat could snap easily onto the stroller with out disturbing baby. We also liked the bigger wheels and shocks.
We are very happy with our purchase, the...

Pros: Easy transfer from carseat to stroller, durable fabric, stroller opens easily.
Cons: Heavier carrier, straps do not adjust in carseat.
WHY I LIKE THIS PRODUCT:
I received this stroller as a shower gift from my mom. At first I thought it was a bit overbearing, but when I actually had my baby and started using it, I really enjoyed it. Because my son was born in the winter (one of...

After comparing many stroller options, I purchased this one because it had more desirable features than the others.

Waste of $$$$!

by ndewitte , Oct 05 '00
Pros: Appearance
Cons: Cheaply made; canopy does not work; heavy
I definitely made a big mistake in buying this system for my first baby. I bought the Evenflo based on, would you believe it, others opinions. First of all, living in a sunny state I thought the sun canopy on the infant carseat would be handy when...

Love it & Hate it!

by moneysaver3 , Jan 29 '00
Pros: Great features...when they work right!!
Cons: Customer service doesn't follow through on admitted defects!!
We initially decided on this stroller because of all the features it offered as well as its ease of handling. The stroller was "loaded" as we liked to call it. It came with a stroller, car seat/carrier, & car seat base. For only $30 more...

Pass it up

by novemberme , Aug 19 '00
Pros: None - well maybe the cup holder
Cons: Everything else- squeaks, inconvenient, bulky.
I purchased this system because I liked the denim/ruffle pattern and the ease of the infant carrier locking onto the stroller. I should have researched different travel systems before purchasing. This system is a nightmare!

First of all, it...

by nannersg , Jun 23 '00
Pros: nice color, collapses with relative ease
Cons: stroller seat and wheels are basically worthless, bulky,overpriced
I love the idea of a travel system. An infant car seat that fits into the stroller and is removable when the child is older. It has cup holders, collapses easily and has a large basket at the bottom - and an attractive blue and green plaid pattern. So...

Too much $ for an inferior product

by FSUTrill , Jan 08 '00
Pros: nice style, pretty, lots of storage
Cons: EXTREMELY squeaky, prone to becoming stuck in upright or recline position
I picked out this stroller because it had a cute ruffly denim pattern, one-handed steering, a cup holder, and a boat-load of storage space. We test drove it in the store, and received it as a shower gift. HOWEVER, upon getting it home, put together,...

You can hear me from a mile away!

by LisaLMG , Jun 13 '00
Pros: carseat to stroller feature
Cons: squeaky wheels and heavy
I really dislike this stroller. I received it as a shower gift and it was supposed to be one of the best strollers on the market at the time this was September 1999.

Ever since the stroller was put together it squeaked (even without a baby...

Don't!

by gym-378 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 10 '00
Pros: Car seat transfers directly from the car to the stroller
Cons: heavy, bulky, BAD design
I certainly hope my Epinion title is self-explanatory. I have a ten-month old baby which means that I have been dealing with this pain in the *** stroller for wayyyyy too long. Here's how it has gone with this thing.

First of all, my wife and...
