WONDERFUL! I got this one first. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is it runs only on 2.4mhz. It has very clear sound and picture. ONE BIG PROBLEM. It runs on 2.4mhz. It crashed my wireless router! So I had to take it back.
DO NOT purchase if you run any 2.4mhz products in your home. You can purchase routers with a different frequency. I am on my 3rd video monitor, and I want to purchase this again, (do to all the CRAP out there, and just get another router.
Get's the job done. Well, it's a cup holder...what more can you expect?! It obviously doesn't do a whole lot but it's the cheapest one around and it does the job. You might not have a lot of flexability as to where you can put it depending on the type of stroller you have...so think it through first before you buy it. If your looking for an awesome cup holder with all the bells and whistles...this is NOT it...but if your looking for something cheap to hold a cup...this is the one for you! enjoy.
Nice and lightweight! After reading hundreds of reviews and going back and forth between the Graco Metrolight, Graco Stylus, and the Chicco Cortina I found this travel system here on Amazon. What worried me most about the Graco and Chicco systems were the weight. We tried them out in the store and the car seat by itself was horribly heavy - without an added 10 pound baby inside! I was also worried about how the stroller would fit, even folded, in the trunk of my VW Jetta.
This system seemed to address all my concerns based on the other reviews, but I was still nervous waiting for it to arrive since it isn't one of the well-known brand names and the price was much lower than the others I was considering.
Simply put, this system is awesome. The big, three-wheeled setup is easy to push and maneuver. (It actually has a dual front wheel which helps keep it very stable.) All of the controls are easy and either lock or audibly snap in place so you know it's secure. When folded, it's compact and still easy to put into the trunk since all three wheels stay on the ground - keeping all the soft bits elevated and clean which I really like. It fits with room to spare in my trunk.
The car seat is lightweight and easy to carry. It took my husband about 20 minutes to assemble the stroller and install the car seat base. The controls for releasing the car seat from both the base and the stroller and the control to collapse the stroller are easy to use which is nice for first time parents like us.
There aren't crazy bells and whistles with this system, but it's sturdy, lightweight and maneuverable which are worth more to me than some of the other add-ons or a bigger cupholder. (Which, by the way, a standard 20oz coke bottle fits into fine. You might have to skip the jumbo bucket of drink at the fast food place, but otherwise they're fine.) The canopies are easy to unfold and retract and even with the seat all the way back you can easily reach into the basket compartment on the bottom, which is a complaint often mentioned with the pricier systems.
The only caveat I have for this system is the color, and it actually works for us but we were surprised. From the pictures I expected more of a silver and black, but the system is baby blue and black. We're having a boy so it's okay, but I would have preferred a more gender neutral or at least a different color than baby blue. It's a very minor complaint but I thought I should mention it so other parents wouldn't be surprised.
In short I couldn't be happier with my choice of the Safety 1st Acella Sport travel system. I can't wait for our little one to arrive in a few weeks so we can tool around the neighborhood in style!
