Safety 1st Acella Sport Travel System

Safety 1st Acella Sport Travel System is very good choice, we are very happy with this product. easy to fold, rolls on all kinds of road, and car seat fits will in stroller as well as in car. easy to remove and fix.

We just finished putting the item together and taking it for a test drive. It is so easy to put together and is very smooth to operate. The car seat easily attaches to the stroller. As others have indicated, the sunshade is rather flimsy. Other than we love the stroller. The colors are great and very modern! We didn't want something with a crazy pattern. So this worked out perfect. We are expecting a boy, but the colors would work fine for a boy or a girl. The basket underneath is adequate to hold a diaper bag and a few other things. We are very pleased!

I have not been able to use this system yet, but I got it yesterday! (very quick delivery!) Assembly was very easy I did it myself with no help from hubby! The only gripes I have are, the stroller seat doesn't lay all the way back and the visor on the carseat is flimsy. but other than that, I cannot wait to use this system.

Awesome stroller system, June 13, 2008

I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase. We are on our third baby and with the two older children, we used much more expensive stroller systems that BOTH broke and were clunky and heavy. The Acella Sport system is light, easy to open and close (unlike other strollers, this really IS a one hand system). As other reviewers have noted, the stroller folds in such a way that none of the cloth parts touch the ground so everything stays very clean. It folds up small enough that I have no problem lifting it in and out of the minivan trunk.

The three wheel system is wonderful - the front wheel pivots easily and handling is very nice. The brakes are easy to engage and disengage and hold the stroller really still. I've taken it to the park and traveled over grass, sand, playground mulch - you name it, and the stroller exceeded my expectations for how smoothly it traveled.

The seat comes with built in cushions which we had to purchase separately with our earlier strollers.

Some caveats:
I think the seat's removable shade is a bit flimsy. I don't like the way the fabric hangs loosely off the back of the seat when it's folded down.
The under stroller storage is smaller than other systems. I can fit our diaper bag (a backpack style), but very little else.
Though there are three cupholders on the handle, only one is large enough to hold a water bottle or cup. We've been using the child's cupholder to hold a second drink.
The color really is blue as noted in other reviews. We have a baby girl and it's not a huge deal, but I would have been happier with a more gender neutral color.

This travel system was easy to put together. The carseat seems comfortable for my son, who is now 4 months old. The stroller unfolds easily and seems sturdy and secure. I like that this system is light-weight and the colors are nice. Some things I DON'T like about it... the sunshade on the carseat does not attach to the back of the seat, so it blows open and wakes the baby up and/or comes off if you tug on it a little too hard. This gets annoying. Also the front wheel on the stroller needs to be greased VERY frequently, or it is hard to turn. Also the material is not easy to wash, and stains easily. One of my biggest annoyances about the carseat is that it does not fit nicely into the top of a shopping cart! The baby is either tilted WAY forward or WAY back, and my son usually wakes up because of that. I had a Graco carseat previously, which clicked into the shopping cart easily and at a good angle. All in all this is a decent system, but we won't be keeping it for our next child!
