I got the 2008 model for a baby show gift 2 years ago. It was easy to assemble, I did it myself. I have been using it on a regular basis now, I probably jog about 10-12 miles a week and it still works like new. The place I jog at is very hilly and curvy a hand brake would make it easier to maneuver, but over all it does pretty well. Since I have been using it for so long I have found ways to overcome it. It works just as well in town, as in the country, or beach, or camping. When my son was younger the snap and go car seat worked great. Now he is two and I have a new baby and I am using the car seat for him and it still works just as well. We are now looking for a double jogger for me, but until then I use this one while my husband watches my other son.
Pros: 12" Swivel wheel that locks well in jogging mode
Sun shade is not attached to stroller handle bar so it can be moved to block son
Fits in most doorways so great for shopping
Has a large basket... Read more

I got this stroller system while I was pregnant w/ my 1st child. I did not want a bulky, heavy travel system like the many Graco ones. I figured I would be able to get by w/ a carrier, snap&go and an all-terrain/jogger like stroller. Over a year later - I was so RIGHT w/ this system!

The Carrier/Carseat: The Flex-loc carrier is great!!! It is amply padded, light weight and the triangle handle is genius - lets you get a firm/steady grip on it from any angle. The sunshade is large and is not attached to the back like so many other carriers - this lets you "follow-the-sun" and keep baby's face shaded at all times, key when walking outdoors. Yes - the fabric of the seat is not as soft or "high-end" feeling as some other carriers but after a year of use I have found it to be very easy to clean & has kept its cushion perfectly. We used an extra soft/padded insert from 0-5 months (about $20 at BabiesRus) and my daughter was plenty comfy. My daughter is 14mo & I now have to... Read more

I have had this travel system since 2007, and I have used it for both of my children.

Pros: the stroller is great! It fits through doors well, and the carseat snaps right in. We have taken it off road, in snow, over dirt, etc. which is why we got a jogging stroller not a regular one. As my son grew, he fits great, lots of storage, cupholders, etc. It was easy to put together (the stroller) and has not had any problems. I find it fits fine in my car or suv. The seat fits into a base, so getting it in and out is easy. It can use a regualr seatbelt if you are in another car, but it's kind of a pain. My kids outgrew it before I needed to turn it around, but you can easily rotate the base and make it forward facing if you need to after 1 year. I do like that it snaps easily into the base and into the stroller

Cons: I really dislike the carseat.The straps are VERY difficult to re-thread, which you must do all the time because you have to take them out to untangle the... Read more
