Sit'n'Stroll 5-n-1 Combination Carseat/Stroller

Product Description

Tripleplay 5-in-1 sit N Stroll

Travel becomes convenient with the sit N Stroll from Tripleplay. It is FAA approved and is the perfect choice when searching for baby travel systems. Flying with a child is very difficult. With a stroller travel system like the sit N Stroll there is no reason to haul a stroller and car seat through the airport. Use the stroller function and wheel the children the airport and into the automobile. The travel system then converts to an easy to use car seat by using the car's belts. Once the destination has been reached, take out the retractable wheels on the baby travel system and roll the child to its destination. The Tripleplay 5 in 1 is lightweight and simple making it a great choice.

The top feature on the sit N Stroll from Tripleplay is its convertibility. The wheels retract into what acts as a car seat base for easy storage. When the time comes to go from car seat to stroller, no real effort needs to be exerted. The stroller travel system is easy to use for all parents. The travel system also features a height adjustable handle. The 5-In-1 sit N Stroll becomes one of the most perfect travel systems for any parent.

we bought this to take our 4 month old on flights and to use as a stroller while out of town. it is ok but make sure to get proficient at it before you leave home. my first problem- the lowest seatbelt level was not tight enough, we pulled the slack all the way out and i could still get my hand underneath and my baby is not small. we put it on the next level and it was WAY above his shoulders. so we put the head rest on thinking that would help, but it just pushed his head forward so his breathing was almost obstructed. the second problem was that it does not fit down all aircraft aisles as claimed. we take alot of "connection" flights(the ones with two seats on each side) and it is too big for the aisles. so we had to pick him up and carry him through the narrow aisles dodging people's heads. all this said, what choice do you have? we are still going to use it.

If you travel a lot with little ones, this is the carseat/stroller to get. I've had one of these for years (it's that durable) and got my money's worth out of it. I consider it an absolute necessity for the frequent flyer. Okay, not necessarily a necessity, but once you travel with this, you may not want to live without it, either.

The seat appears to be ultra-luxurious. My kids look oh so comfortable in it. What nice padding. It looks more comfortable than any carseat or stroller on the market. Very plush.

I loved the fact that it can convert from carseat to stroller. When the kids slept, I could pull the carseat out of the car; and with help, transform it into a carseat without disrupting their sleep. How wonderful not to have to disturb a sleeping child, especially while traveling.

The carseat fits into most standard airplanes with passenger armrests lifted. They didn't always fit rear-facing. I had trouble with my infant son's head plopping forward as the plane lifted (something I didn't think about), so you have to be careful about that. In prop-propeller planes, it can be a difficult fit, and it definitely wouldn't fit in prop-propeller planes rear-facing.

There are two positions to place the car's seatbelt when securing it. Be sure to use the correct position. If placed incorrectly, it could cut across the baby's neck.

The carseat's straps are a little difficult to adjust. Make sure they are fully adjusted before the trip. It is frustrating to have adjust it when in a rush.

The stroller's wheels pop out easily, but it requires a strong push outwards. Gentle pushing won't work. Same with pulling the wheels back in. It needs a quick jerk.

The stroller is easy to push with just one hand. That's nice when traveling through an airport with luggage and a baby. The wheels glide smoothly, but it can be a challenge to go up and down curbs.

I do not recommend this stroller/carseat for daily use as a carseat, because strapping and unstrapping the child from the carseat requires that the carseat be installed and uninstalled (via the car's seatbelt system) each time. That can be too cumbersome. As a stroller, it does not fold up any smaller than the size of the seat itself, so it's not so portable as a regular stroller for daily use. However, the fact that we don't have to lug both a stroller and a carseat with us on our travels makes it a wonderful travel stroller/carseat. We got good use out of ours for years and it's too bad the kids have outgrown it.

we have a daughter with sever disabilities. This stroller-car seat combo makes it super easy to travel. We use it as her wheelchair for air travel and it works great!! She is 4 years old adn weighs 24 pounds. SO we can pick it up and use it with her in it.

I just completed a two-month, cross-country trip to 5 states with 12 airline flights with my son as we visited family and friends. He is now 6 months old. When we started, he was 4 months old and I can tell you if it wasn't for the sit-n-stroll, we would not have made it. Most of the flights were by myself so it was essential that I be able to get him around safely and easily. This was the right equipment for the job. On flights where he was not in his own seat, I gate checked this with a red Gate Check bag (I also highly recommend this item) and it traveled well.

I practiced getting the wheels retracted and extended at home and I'm glad I did. As other people have mentioned, the wheels have to be in the air to be retracted and extended. I'm not very strong and my arms aren't very long so at first it was a challenge. It took a little getting used to. But, after a few tries, I was able to do it with my son strapped in. That is huge when you are trying to get through security with minimal hassle. Since I was by myself, I didn't have someone to hand him off to. I retracted the wheels, pulled him out and put the sit-n-stroll on the x-ray conveyor. It was very easy. On the other side, I would reverse the process. On more than one occasion, I had other moms watching me and asking me where I got such a fabulous stroller. I also had moms with huge stroller/carseat combos on the jetway marvel at how I could so easiy travel by myself with an infant. I think I could have sold 50 of these on the trip.

The handle is very easy to steer with one hand which is a huge plus when traveling and hauling suitcases through airports.

I did not have any problems with this facing rear in any of the rental cars I had. It fit securely and I am confident would have withstood any crash. Fortunately we didn't have one so I didn't actually test that out. It is a little bit of a hassle to have to install the sit-n-stroll into the car each time. The way the straps are, you can't lift the baby out without taking the whole seat out. But, that inconvenience is minor compared to hauling a normal carseat around.

The retractable handle is wonderful because when you wheel it in tight places (restaurants, elevators, airplanes) you can lower it but still push the stroller.

I used the sit-n-stroll in many different restaurants as a booster chair.

It was so nice to have one item that served so many useful functions. I highly recommend this product if you plan to travel with a baby or toddler.

Pros : This was an unbeatable buy for our first flight with our 17 month old. I was nervous about the conversion before it came in the mail but it was amazingly easy to convert back and forth from car seat to stroller. My daughter was very comfortable in it as car seat and stroller. It is much lighter than I expected. I'm a wimp and I had no trouble flinging it around in the car or lifting it with one hand to pop the wheels down with the other.

Cons: I would have rated it five but we had some dificulty getting it strapped into the plane. The planes seat belt wasn't long enough to go around the seat. I think we may have been able to ask for an extension for the seat belt but my husband took the opportunity to use the clip on traps that come with it for the latch system and that worked just fine. Once strapped in the seat sits pretty far forward in the seat and my daughter was able to push the seat in front of her which displeased the person in that seat. But she was so confortable in the seat she fell asleep just as the plane took off.

Overall : I would do it again. She was confortable enough in the seat to nap the whole way and the conversion to stroller allowed us to roll the car seat through the airport instead of carry it and that was worthwhile in itself.

We purchased this stroller because we traveled a lot and needed something compact and easy for traveling. After DD turned 7 months old we haven't looked back and have used this everyday. She is now 19 months old, weighs 22 pounds, and it holds up fairly well. I've traveled alone with her and this stroller has made it a whole lot easier! I would definitely purchase this again we couldn't be more satisfied!

Here are my pros and cons:
1.Makes traveling easier.
2.Durable the fabric is easy to clean
3.Well padded
4.Is easy to operate once you get the hang of opening and closing it.
5.When you close it the wheels are covered by the plastic so if they are dirty it will not mess your car's seats.

Cons:
1.Can be a bit heavy once your child is over 20 lbs
2.The wheels are small but are durable enough..difficult to tread in gravel and doesn't have much friction.
3.The foam handles tend to slip off
4.There isn't a sunshade (you would have to purchase this separately from the vendor)
5.The small compartment in the back is not big enough to house a diaper bag
6.No cup holder.

We bought this product to ship to Australia as it was not available here and we wanted to use something like this in several travels overseas this year.

I was very cautious worrying that it might not be all that it was written-up to be, but I am pleased to say that it is as good as described.

I haven't found much trouble at all opening and collapsing it while Baby is in it, which other users have found. It's very easy to put in and out of the car.

I was also concerned about the way it rides very low and has small wheels. In using it, however, I found it quite smooth and just simply does the job.

It's not intended as our primary car seat, but serves well as our secondary one, as intended.

Finally, I'm pleased to say it receives very positive looks ; or perhaps that's just Baby in it (-;

I'll give it 4 stars until I run it through its full paces overseas!

This car seat is ugly, there is no doubt about it. We bought it as a second car seat/airplane stroller so that our nanny could take our daughter to the park in her own car without needing a car seat installed full time. It takes a little getting used to, especially since your kid will look really strapped down (pinned at the shoulders) Hannibal Lector style by the straps that attach to the car. The straps are necessary for the proper functioning of the seat but our daughter looks a little funny strapped down like that. But guess what, she doesn't care one bit. She likes to roll around in the seat when it is a stroller but it does look like a La-Z-Boy on wheels. It is one of the ONLY seats acceptable for the airlines (special writing in red on the seat). We'll be giving it a try over the x-mas holiday.
