Stroller/Car Seat Travel Systems
« on: May 24, 2012, 12:37:45 PM »
Hi,

I know there is another thread about strollers in general but I am interested specifically in a Travel System and I don't see much discussion of that in the existing thread so I am starting a new one.


Can anyone who has a Travel System comment on how they like it?


Any other advice/tips?


Anyone have any suggestion for the best online stores to check for prices?


I think we have it narrowed down to the Aprica Moto travel system or the Aerolite LX.
Anyone have any experience with either of those? 

Thanks!

No idea about those, but UB Vista+Chicco Keyfit 30 has been wonderful for our travels.

can you take the uppa baby vista on a flight or does it weigh too much and they will charge for it?

I've gate checked the Uppa Baby vista on CO with no issues (I even forgot to fold it once :-\).

Thanks for the suggestion Dan . However, that model seems pretty expensive.

Any tips on how to get a reasonable price on that?

Thanks!

$560+tax at BBB with a 20% off coupon for the UBV with lifetime returns...
They usually go on sale at the end of the year.

Thanks but that's way over my budget...and tax here is about 10%  :(

 Any other similar but cheaper suggestions?

Either you missed the ... or you are an upright and honest man :D

Search online and you should be able to find it for that price range with no tax.
