I am a one-stroller, first time mama and we have used it all over. I looked at all of the boards that said travel systems were too bulky and that the Gracos were not very well built, and I was totally reluctant to buy the Graco, but in a moment of frustration I just bought this travel system at BRU (1/06) for full retail (I think around $200?). I'm glad I finally just bought it and stopped worrying about it! We love this stroller!We used it at Disney twice for our infant (now 1yr) and my 4 yr. old nephew there (we switched off and Bjorned the baby when the toddler needed to sit for a while). It was great in the airport and doesn't weigh a ton. I LOVED being able to put the babe in the stroller without moving her out of the carseat (snap in/snap out!) If you close both of the visors it was completely dark and she slept...well... like a baby. :-)The features are great, drop down basket so when the baby is fully reclined you can still access the basket. The basket is big too, which is important for us. The visors are big which I have liked. Mine didn't have a flap over the visor "peek hole", but we just threw a blanket or something over it for sleeping. Cup holders for big person and little person (when they're out of the carseat), stands uprights when folded, easy to use, lockable front wheels (for straight steering), fully reclines, love it all! Overall, we can't beat this stroller for our uses. We didn't want a bunch of strollers, but wanted one to cover the most areas. This one has done everything for us exept all-terrain and jogging. I would highly recommend this as an all-inclusive, lightweight stroller.

The infant seat which came with the Metrolite travel system is wonderful. It's easy to use and the ability to easily find multiple bases is nice for the entire family. However, I should have bought the seat alone with a Snap and Go and saved some money. The Metrolite stroller is a waste. It's not overly heavy, but it's incredibly awkward. It is so long it takes up the entire trunk of my family sedan, leaving little room for groceries. It is also hard to pick up and lift into the trunk because of the length. My daughter's grandma can't do it at all. The wheels swivel on their own, and the stroller is awful for walking on the cobblestone sidewalks in the historical district where we live- it gets stuck on the cracks in the sidewalk and jolts my baby. Plus, the handlebar is too short for me, at 5'8", and I am constantly kicking the back wheels, which hurts both of us! I will only be using it until my daughter has enough head control for the Mutsy Spider I bought on Craigslist to replace the Metrolite. I can't get rid of that stroller soon enough.
