Cosco Disney Baby Lift and Stroll Plus Travel System.


Cosco Disney Baby Lift and Stroll Plus Travel System.
The Cosco Disney Baby Lift and Stroll Plus Travel System is a nice little infant car seat & stroller combo, with many awesome features. However, while I saw zero areas for complaint on the infant seat, I feel that the stroller has two very big flaws. Product took less than 5 minutes to assemble. Stroller merely needed to snap on the wheels and the child tray, where as the car seat needs to be installed and adjusted to fit your child. Definitely easy assembly. Some nice features are padded infant head rest, two cup holder tray for parent, easily detachable child tray with removable dishwasher safe snap in tray, infant recline, foot brakes (which are a little stiff to use), storage basket, and canopies on both the car seat and the stroller. I love the peek-a-boo window in the stroller canopy and used it also to check on my child. The infant seat has 5 point harness system, with an easy release button that releases the seat from it base, which can be easily used one-handed. This allows easy removal of car seat, while leaving base intact, which is especially nice for running in to the store or really anywhere; all you have to do is click baby back into the base. Also the seat itself is relatively lightweight (website clams "The lightest infant car seat in the U.S.A. as of March 2014") so you could opt for just carrying baby around it you wish. However as baby gets a bit bigger, when the car seat is off of its base it can easily be attached to the stroller by snapping it in. I love that fact that you can clearly hear it snapping to make sure it is safely secured. Once baby is too large for car seat you can still use stroller for toddler up to 50 lbs. I do not like that it only has a 4 point harness in the stroller however. When my child was younger, if she did not have a 5 point harness going over her shoulders she would find a way to wiggle and wriggle herself out of any straps. Also, where baby usually sits is the pull to fold the stroller. This is easy to use and can be done with one hand, and a latch on the side automatically engages when stroller folds over keeping it shut for storage. This is something I think was a terrible design in the product. If you are a parent then you know that lots of kids like to play with things, my toddler does, and the first things kids go for are latches and straps of any kind. The strap has a pocket where strap can be hidden inside, but small hands like to pry and the strap could be too easily found for my comfort. Strap on the stroller aside, I think this is a great little travel system, with a cute color & pattern for a baby girl, that has many features I am sure anyone would enjoy. But if you do get this, please make sure to tuck your strap in!
