Cosco Lift & Stroll Travel System, Bloom

Cosco Lift & Stroll Travel System, Bloom

Cosco Lift & Stroll Travel System, Bloom is yet another wonderful creation from a wonderful company.The stroller can transport a child up to fifty pounds in weight. The rear-facing car seat can support a child up to 22 pounds and 29 inches in height.The stroller holds up to 50 pounds, so it can be used by a toddler, for quite some time. The infant car seat attaches to the base, which is left in the car.The whole system is lightweight yet sturdy and durable, it should be around for the duration.The wheels turn easily, and the unit is overall comfortably built, as well as being sturdy enough to last.The car seat tethers easily to the anchors in your car and the seat locks in and releases very easily but is secure. It locks in the same way to the stroller, too. Very secure. In addition, adequate safety features are built in.As with most products offered by Costco, this Lift and Stroll Travel system in Bloom seems to be a quality item.This Stroller is light weight, easy snap in carrier, has plenty of storage under the bottom for diaper bag ect. This stroller/car seat combination is so convenient and such a time saver. The car seat has a base that it sits on in the car. The base itself is strapped down in the car. All you have to do is sit the car seat down on the base and it automatically snaps in place securely to the base. You then buckle the baby in the car seat. The car seat also snaps in place securely on the stroller. The stroller conveniently folds up to fit in the trunk of your car.  It also has a tray in the front of the stroller that has a built in cup holder to hold the baby's bottle or sippee cup.We use this when we go to amusement parks or other such places where you don’t want to fight crowds while pushing a full size stroller. The storage basket is nice and big and I pack the diaper bag, blankets, jackets,purse and all sorts of stuff, in the storage basket. The carrier is fantastic and it attaches to the stroller and it is light and easy to travel so you don't have to worry about a heavy carrier that you can't barely lift and man handling that around.The stroller is lightweight, but very durable.The parent tray on the handle allows you to store your water and also has a very nice tray to hold your keys or small baby items. This thing rolls like a dream and I love jogging with it as the front wheels don’t splay out as most strollers do when you cross grass. That and the weight of this thing make ideal for the active mom!When you're ready to use the stroller all you do is unfold it, unlatch the car seat, (with the baby in it), from the base and sit it on the stroller and it snaps securely in place.I haven’t even mentioned the car seat and base which I think work so well with this stroller. The base installs easily in the car and is held by the seatbelt or safety hooks. The car seat itself simply clicks right onto the bas and is held securely in place. Removal is a push of a button.The tray will also hold a number of other items. Using the stroller with the infant seat is quite easy. Just use a bit of pressure until you hear both sides click into place. Removal is just as easy and here, the instructions are quite clear. There is a base that fits on the bottom of the car seat and is installed directly into the car when using just the car seat alone. It must be rear facing in order to work, for the safety of the child. All in all, this is a good travel system.The stroller wasn’t as easy to install as the instructions indicated. Raising & lowering the seat back showed pictures that didn’t exactly resemble the real thing.The base is packed separate and the base snaps right into the car seat/carrier, the only assembly is putting the six wheels on and it's simple.The stroller has a Adjustable canopy that you can pull over the stroller. the car seat snaps into place and very secure! Easy lift, very durable both the stroller and car seat has 3-point safety harness on stroller 5-point harness with up-front adjustment on car seat. Also has a heavy duty tray system in the front as pictured, not flimsy at all. Both canopy's are nice and easy to pull down. It is beautiful, comfortable, and so light but sturdy! This can be used for a long time as it is built for infants on up to older toddlers. The pretty colors add to the charm as well. The stroller is easy to wipe down and very easy to store as well.This is such a easy to use system. Very light weight so its very simple to throw in the car trunk without alot of hassle. This is great for everyday use as well as traveling. The added comfort with the car seat is just a great bonus. The shade cover is another great thing about the stroller. I see this will be just perfect to keep the sun out of your child's eyes.The stroller could also use more padding. In the back of the stroller there is a mesh compartment, to store you dipper bag or the things you may need on your journey.This is a great investment and we all really love it. The make is sturdy and the wheels are well made as well. The basket is very roomy for adding baby supplies for traveling. The cup holder is yet another added plus for the mom and child during outings as well. The stroller was easy to lift up and fold with one hand and just as easy to close. The car seat has a great pattern and colors and it has front adjustment so that you can know your child is safe. It is latch equipped which is a great feature.Being that they added one on the handle bar and one in the child's reach I think is great as well. The style is over all a great one. It's design is that fitting for anyone with a little creative buzz in them.The car seat piece, the car seat and the stroller . The top visor on the car seat carrier, is a little difficult to move back and forth, you have to use both hands to move it. The handle is strong and it could use just a little more cushioning on the sides of the carrier . The retrial is easy to clean , it is a kind of nylon. If you want to look like you spent a bundle this is sure your stroller.Safe, beautiful, sturdy, yet light weight so easy to put in the car and take out. The 5 point harness on the car seat fits into the lock buckle differently than I'm used to seeing. Normally you insert the left and right side buckles in separately. With this car seat, you have to fit the 2 buckles together 1st (one over top of the other) and insert that as a whole into the buckle.Another really cool thing about this combo is that you can open both the shade for the stroller and the carrier effectively shielding baby. So over all the design of this stroller is a winner for the mom on the go!Also cleanup is a breeze.Great gift or purchase for yourself.
