I love this car seat and stroller. I have 3 kids and had 3 differents brand for each of them...
I bought the cortina for my last child and I would buy it again. She was able to stay safe a nd comfy in the car seat from birth to 14 months old. I love the choice of colors as well.
This is my # one choice!!!!

Comments about Chicco Cortina Travel System Stroller Synergy:
The carrier has been great since our 4lb 3oz preemie was born. We had to roll a few towels around her to begin with, but now that she's nearly 10lbs, the regular insert works fine. The whole system is easy to use--base goes into the car easily, carrier snaps into either the base or the stroller easily. Stroller collapes easily and is pretty light. We have a Lexus RX350 and I do have to say that you have to put the front seat up more than I'd like in order to fit the carrier in the back--even though I've seen alot of people say this is a small carrier. We live in Chicago and we take walks everyday the weather permits and this stroller goes over all the curbs and cracked sidewalks pretty well. I also walk our dog when we go out, and the stroller is easily manuevered with just one hand. My only complaint is that it's hard to get stuff into the basket unless it's something pretty flat. Otherwise, this has been a great system for us.

It is expensive but so far seems to be worth every penney, almost :) The only complaint that we have is that the basket is a pain when using the carseat with the stroller. In order to put the carseat in the seat has to be laying down, therefore the only way to get anything in and out is to take the carseat out, which can get annoying. The stroller itself is great. Moves smoothly, takes corners great! Looks nice. It isn't heavy and folds up nice. It takes up my entire trunk but I do have a small car.

First off let me say we LOVE this stoller.It might be a little pricey but it is DEFINATLEY worth the money.It's very stylish which was a big issue for me as a young mom I wanted everything to be in style. lolAs far as safety I love the fact I can use the seatbelt and the latches in your car.The adjustable belt for the baby is a simple pull to tighten, and the stroller has never been easier to set up or fold away. The part where you push and hold is adjustable which works great because im 5'4 and my boyfriend is 6'3. I could honestly go on and on and on. My one problem with it is when baby was a newborn and I'd put the carseat in the stroller it was hard to get access to the basket we'd have to put the diaper bag in before hand. But I've read some people didnt have this problem. So other than that NO complaints :)[...]

I've been using this stroller a little over a year now and i have no compliants at all. The car seat is great. The stroller is easy to close just by pressing a simple button. Its not heavy, I'm 4'11 and i can load and unload it out of my trunk. Its great around corners.

We love this travel system. I wish that they had this when our twins were born. Our son's head has never fallen forward like other systems have done in the past. My husband and I both loved how easy to inatall it was,and we were able to adjust the straps with ease. I recomend this to all of our friends.Our baby has outgrown the carseat and we are very sad but the stroller is still the best.

This stroller may seem expensive, but trust me, it is worth every cent. It is very convenient because unlike some strollers, it's got the carseat, carseat base, and stroller altogether and you never have to pull your baby out of the carrier once you put him/her into it. The stroller is great because unlike other strollers, you don't need to buy any extra attachments. You get 3 cupholders, a huge basket for storage, and there is also another compartment great for storing pacifiers. It's sturdy and your baby feels really safe in it. The color really stands out and when it's parked next to a bunch of other strollers, you can spot it within seconds. The color is perfect because we have a son, but we are planning to use the stroller for our baby girl too if and when we have her. =) The only negative thing about the stroller is that it's really bulky and heavy. If you are a very petite and skinny mom, you might have quite a bit of difficulty with this travel system. I'm a really strong mom, but both the stroller and carrier are really heavy for me. Also, unless you have a car with big trunk space, it's not going to fit in many cars. Those are the only cons to this stroller. Other than that, we absolutely love it!

I love the system! Car seat is easy to get in and out of base. Love the adjustable straps that pull in and out! Very easy to move straps up to next notch! Would buy again! My daughter is 9 months and I hate the thought of looking for another car seat b/c I like this one so much! Stoller pushes easlier. It is a little big(as are all strollers with systems), but is well worth it!

I love this car seat. It worked well for my son from birth-8 months. Now he is too big for the car seat, and we are switching to a bigger one. But it's nice that I can still use the stroller. I took this travel system on 2 plane trips and it did very well traveling through airports, etc. Easy to collapse when you are on the go. Definitely a keeper!

I LOVE this travel system, it was well worth the money! I find it easy, safe and extremely comfortable to use. It's so comfortable to stroll that I tell my friends to try it out; they too are impressed. The newborn insert adds comfort and safety, even for a preemie. The best part, which convinced my hubby, is how the car seat locks into place in the center of the stroller. This feature is unlike any other travel system, you can even lift the whole stroller from the car seat handle, now that's secure!

We LOVE this system. We were given this set as a shower gift, and love it. The seat is super secure in the car base. Very easy to install, and move from car to car. We only have one base so it moves from my car to my husbands all the time no problems! Also, the car seat snaps into the stroller very nicely. The stroller is VERY comfortable for our baby too, she locks into place and it's a very sturdy comfortable ride. She has enjoyed it from only a few days old!

I am a first time parent so I don't have much experience with baby products. However, I love this travel system and would buy another one the next time around. I have read the reviews before buying and was kinda hesitant because of the weight and bulkiness (is that a word?). But I got it anyways and I am happy I did. I live in an apartment on the second floor. I carry the stroller up and down the stairs almost daily and have no problem. Its not as heavy as people make it out to be (i'm 5'6). It does take up all the room in my trunk but its roomy and comfy for my little guy and he is the one that matters. The only thing I don't like is you can't get to the basket if the seat is all the way reclined. But I bought a diaper bag with stroller straps and also have a mommy hook. I love the adjustable handle because my husband is a big guy. i think he would look a little funny pushing around a stroller that was too short and too small for him. The car seat is vary safe, I took it to my local fire dept to have it checked out. It was highly recommended. It is a little heavy to carry around, especially since my son is big for 5 months (22lbs). But seriously, is there a car seat out there that isn't heavy??!!! I don't recommend this car seat if you have a small car. I have a sedan and you still have to have the seat all the way forward to fit. But if you have the seat in the middle of the back seat (like your supposed too) it shouldn't be a problem about room. I found it easy to put together, I think I was 8 months pregnant when I did it by myself.

Comments about Chicco Cortina Travel System Stroller Synergy:
I absolutely love this stroller. I am taller thasn most moms and had issues w/ my legs hitting the stroller while I was walking. I dont have this problem w/ this stroller. It is so easy 2 manuver! the wheels r great and have lasted me sooo long. I walk in all sort of terrains in the stroller and I have NEVER had a problem w/ it. The stroller is so roomy and the adjustable handle makes all the diffrence when I have to carry it in the trunk of a car. The carrier is nice and strong and the padding is nice and thick, my child loves this car. I dont have the problem w/ the straps, I have a big baby and i think most parents just dont have the patience to figure out how the straps work but there great and extend long enough. The cherry on top is that my son looks great and the color is beautiful and we always stand out. Worth every penny and will definetly buy it again if i have another baby. Easy to wash and have recieved offers for abbout 80% of what i origanlly bought it 4!

So easy to use and manuevers very well. Just make sure you have a lot of trunk space. I have a Honda Civic and the stroller just fits in the trunk. My opinion is it is worth dealing with the size of it. Great product.

Comments about Chicco Cortina Travel System Stroller Synergy:
We use our stroller with carseat 6 out of 7 days of week for our 2 month old son. What we love about it:

-The handle bar can be adjusted to adults height, I'm 5'1 and my husband is 6'2 which works great for us.
-It is very lightweight for being a travel system.
-Very easy to maneuver single handedly.
-Stability is great.
-The carseat allows our son to feel comfortable and safe.
-We use the little box compartment on the top allong with the parents cup holder which is good size for our drink.
-Easy access to the basket allows us to carry any items that we might need.

The only 2 things we don't like about it is that the cover padding sometimes comes undone while being put away or taking out of our car and last but not least it folds to a large rectangle. So consider your trunk space in your car.

Comments about Chicco Cortina Travel System Stroller Synergy:
I love this system. Chicco does a great job with the design. All of the adjustable components are in the bright orange plastic. This makes everything really simple to use. This was important to me because when my baby goes with her grandparents, it's easy for them to learn. Most everything has one button and a snap-snap, and you are done!

I have had to use other people's car seats / carriers when I traveled and it made me feel so happy with my Chicco purchase. The seat feels much more stable, the handle is much easier to move, the belts are much easier and quicker for getting the baby in and out.

Even the base is easier to install. Others have a strange twist/crank component. Again, with the Chicco there are just a couple of orange buttons to push and your leveled, tight and ready to go.

The stroller is great. Whether the carrier is in or out, it has a very stable ride. It rolls very smoothly. It is easy to push and steer with just one hand. My feet never hit the stroller (like other people have commented).

One thing to note: If you are hoping to be able to balance the carrier/seat on top of a grocery basket, then this might not be the product for you. The bottom of the carrier is solid and rounded. This works great to slide right into the base and even if you set it on the floor, you can easily rock the baby. But this means there is no edge to wedge on the grocery baskets. Other brands, like Graco engage with their bases with a bar, so the carrier has an indention on the base. This indention slides onto the top bar of the basket on grocery carts and makes them a big more secure up there. I'm sure Graco doesn't ever recommend putting their carrier up there, but a lot of people do. It just doesn't work for Chicco and that was okay with me. I didn't really want my baby up there anyway. I always took the entire stroller in. I pushed it with one hand, and with the other, pulled the grocery cart behind me. The stroller maneuve

Looks nice,great steering,easy to set up.
I had problems when I bought it I had to exchange 2 of them because they both came broken in the box.reclining seat is bulky,no access to basket,takes a lot of space in the trunk,worst of it is after couple of months the straps are to small to strap your baby in.

This is bulky as others have mentioned, but we have an umbrella stroller that we take when space is an issue. My husband and I are both very tall so this is great to have the adjustable handle. The stroller rides very smooth for my little one. Everything is in the right spot. The carseat is easy to get in and out of the base. Base is easy to install. Pads and materials do not show dirt or wear. We used the Bundleme in it and he was warm in the winter. Best part is we are able to sell it for about 75-80% of what we paid for it a year later. It is built well and I'm sure if we were having more children it would last thru each of them too. Great quality product. Worth the $$ for sure.

We love this travel system. We selected this system after reading lots of review. We have been absolutely thrilled with the product. It is durable, sturdy, fits our baby well, and we think it looks great. The only thing that is kind of awkward is that the car seat does not fit in shopping carts like most other car seats. I have solved this problem by placing the car seat in the large part of the cart. (We have seen some people put them in sideways)The one touch release lever is amazing, it is really easy to move from the car to stroller and anywhere else. This is a must have!

I bought this for my second child. There is a gap of 14 years between my two kids, needless to say I had no idea of what new products were out there. I wanted to make the right purchase for my new baby. I searched the internet for almost 6 months before I bought this travel system. I read all the reviews but none of them cared to mention you won't be getting a lot of use out of the stroller. I love the car seat, although is on the heavy side, I have no complaints about it. On the other hand, I'm not happy with the stroller. My son is 8 months now and is big for his age, weighing at over 20lbs. The stroller is nice looking but the problem is the 5 point hardness. The straps that are supposed to surround the waist area, do not extend very much. As of right now, the straps are too tight on my son and in order for me to use the stroller, I have the recline the seat back so he is half way laying/sitting so he can be strapped down in there. Now, the shoulder straps have plenty of material to be extended which doesn't make much sense, it should be all the way around since you can choose to not use the shoulder straps once your baby is big enough not to need them. As much money as I spent on this travel system, I could have bought just the car seat and have gone with a better built stroller. I would recomend the car seat, but do yourself a favor, don't buy the stroller!!!! Right now I'm in search of a new stroller that will grow with my son for years to come.

The comfort this provides for the baby is impressionable. The convenience of it makes it remarkable and the way it holds in memory the car seat position is just wonderful. The stroller glides and gives baby a smooth ride.

I purchased this solely on the review on [@]. I am very happy with it. I loved the newborn insert when he was little and also the head support that comes with it. I found the cover a pain to remove to wash, but it is better to struggle with it coming off then it coming off when you don't want it to! Stroller is not compact and takes up a lot of space in my trunk but I knew that when I bought it. I also keep an cheap $10 umbrella stroller in my trunk and that comes in handy sometimes when I don't need the storage and sun blocker. We will keep this set and use it on the next one.

I loved this product because of the safety rating but once I received it I realized that it is wonderful. Opens really easy and very easy to push. My son loves his stroller we can shop for hours and he is completely content. I would reccommend this stroller to anyone. I plan on buying the Chicco lightweight stroller soon.

My husband and I originally registered online for a Graco travel system based on appearance alone. Before our son was born we decided to go to the store to test out everything we registered for. So glad we did! We found the Graco more difficult to open. The Chicco literally takes one flip of the wrist and it's open. We also found it rolled smoother than the Graco. The car seat is easy to use and install. I take the stroller everywhere! My only complaint is the basket is a little difficult to access when using the infant seat with the stroller, but I am guessing that's an issue with all travel systems and not unique to this product. However, the basket is super easy to access and very roomy when using the stroller alone.

This carseat offers the support my son needs. I love it. The only two things I dont like about it...Its very heavy an donly my fiance will be able to carry him in it when he gains weight and it has a pretty rough texture on the strap covers for my 7 week olds skin, but we just bought softer ones. Other then that its perfect

When I was 17weeks pregnant, I spent 3hours in BRU playing with every travel system in the store. I folded up every stroller and carried every infant seat. I found this one to be the easiest and I loved the color. 3 months later, my father purchased me the last travel system the store had in this color, I was so happy. When my son was born in August, the day I brought him home we brought the car seat to the hospital and my nurse told me I had bought her favorate car seat. My 6 week old son loves the car seat, it is so easy to put him in and out of. It is also easy to put in and out of the car, it just snaps into the base. I love the stroller. It rides so nice. The suspension is great. The only problem is that the basket is hard to put stuff in when the seat is fully reclined, otherwise we love it!

I purchased this because it was rated so highly by Consumer Reports as being the safest car seat. We love it. The stroller is easy to use and the car seat is very stable feeling. The car seat is a bit heavy but, worth it for the safety factor.

I went through 3 travel systems before i found the one that both brody and i loved. After being dissapointed with other brands i went to our local BRU and tried out every single system there with my 2 week old. It came down to this system and a Graco system with a snugride. I decided on this one because it seemed to be better quality and it was a smoother stroll. I LOVE this stroller. Its very very nice quality and worth the money. It has great features. The ONLY thing i would want to see Chicco change in the stroller is the size of the basket. The basket is TINY. when brody is reclined i can barely fit his diaper bag in it. But besides that, i give this stroller all thumbs up!

I love my stroller with the exceptions of a few things! I love closing it with ease, I love the adjustable handle and the cup holder and little closed storage area!

I'm not a fan of the straps at all. Took me forever to figure them out and it was difficult to put things in the basket underneath when the car seat was on the stroller!
