ChiccoBravo Trio Travel System, Lilla

I am so glad my wife and I bought this travel system. We are first time parents and were overwhelmed with choosing between the numerous different car seats and strollers. We were about to buy a much more expensive travel system ($1500), when we came across the Chicco Bravo. It has just about every feature that the more expensive systems had and then some.Set up of the system took no more than 20 minutes and was very easy to accomplish. Once set up, my wife and I started to play with it to see how easy it was to fold it up and then put it back together. IT COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE EASIER. With a single hand you can collapse the stroller and have it ready to stow away. Even better is the weight. We were in stores every weekend playing with different travel systems and none of them were as easy to manipulate or as light weight as the Chicco Bravo. The weight was a big concern for us and was the reason we held out on some of the higher end travel systems. With the Bravo, my wife and I can easily lift the stroller into the back of our truck or SUV with no problem.The car seat base was also extremely easy to set up. I went out to my truck expecting it to be complex and time consuming, but it took me less than 5 minutes. The car seat easily secures into place and with the pull of a latch it easily comes out. Our little girl appears to be very comfortable in this seat and I feel at ease knowing she is secured in a high quality car seat.The stroller rides are smooth and we have no complaints. There are numerous accessories with this travel system that make it even better, but since I know anyone reading this has probably read up on all the specifics, I won't list them all here.I highly recommend this travel system to other parents. My wife and I were prepared to spend a lot more money on one, but after spending hours in different baby stores, we felt this was without a doubt the best buy.***UPDATE MAY 2015***The travel system continues to make my wife and I happy about our decision. We use it on a regular basis and it has held up great. We have not had any issues and parents with other travel systems have commented on how they wish they would have purchased the Chicco Bravo. It does everything that many of the overpriced systems do, and in my opinion, it is better in many ways.

So this is amazing. I extensively researched different options for strollers/car seats prior to having my baby (since she was my first). Overall, this is of excellent quality and contruction. And this particular pattern is super cute, and I have gotten complements on it (but not too girly to where my hubby doesn't want to use it). And buying these two together was cheaper than buying the stroller and car seat separately.INFANT SEAT: We chose to go with an infant seat since the baby carrier can be removed from the base to carry to baby around or insert into the storller, and also this disrupts baby less (when she is sleeping, I hate to disturb her). The car seat is highly rated and easy to install. There is a youtube video by a licensed car seat safety inspector showing how to install this model, which I recommend watching prior to installing the base. When I got the car seat inspected, they said we had installed it perfectly. I only have good things to say about this, although we have only had this 1 month.STROLLER: We really debated getting the chicco frame this is based on, since it is lighter, or not getting the travel system, but this really has worked well for us, although our situation may not be typical. First, we live in a neighborhood within walking distance to restaurants, parks, and our LO's pediatrician. The stroller has been perfect for taking baby to different locations around the neighborhood. We honestly rarely use a car, so the weight of this in the end was not a real factor for us (and I haven't tried getting it in and out of a car). If you are concerned about this, the nice thing is that you can take off most of the cloth parts to turn it into the lighter-weight frame to hold the infant seat, but still have the ability to put the cloth parts back on later for a toddler stroller. It really is one-handed collapsing, very smooth mechanism. The car seat clicks in very easily. The 2 canopies (one on the stroller and one on the car seat) both overlap so that in cold weather or sun, we can protect baby from the elements. My husband also raves about the shocks on the stroller. Some of the sidewalks are not at all even, and this handles it well without jolting a sleeping baby.Overall I highly recommend.

This was the best money I ever spent. My granddaughter (3 weeks old, 8lbs) was just involved in a car accident. It was a head on collision with all the airbags deployed and both cars totaled. 4 Adults between the two cars all injured with various broken bones. The man in the back seat in the same car sitting right next to my granddaughter was airlifted to shock trauma with a broken back. All the adults were wearing seat belts. But you can imagine the jolt/shock. Ava did not have a scratch. The car Chicco Bravo car seat with the base locking system absorbed the impact and protected her. No doubt this seat with all the safety systems, harness, infant liner, etc. saved her life. I hate to think what would have happened in a cheap seat.Thank you Chicco, we have retired the seat involved in the accident and ordered a new identical system to keep protecting her.

Super easy to use and switch in between cars, just have to buy a second base. We like it because it’s easy to adjust from newborn to toddler mode. It’s not too heavy and can easily fit in a closet or back of a trunk. It has multiple cup holders and space for diaper bag and provides a smooth ride for baby.

Has never given us any problems. Very sturdy. Easy to clean. Car seat was easy to install. Stroller easy to fold and not bulky or heavy. Rides smoothly as well. Keeping for next child 👍🏼
