This handsome travel system from Eddie Bauer combines a versatile, maneuverable stroller with a safe, comfortable car seat for babies up to 22 pounds or 29 inches. The system allows baby to be transferred from strolling to riding in the car without needing to wrestle straps or disturb sleep. Designed for gender-neutrality and a fresh, updated look, both pieces combine tan and black solids with plaid accents in tan, white, and black. Built on a lightweight but durable metal frame, the stroller swivels and steers easily, thanks to its 9-1/2-inch wheels and its narrow front axle. A five-point harness keeps little ones secure, while four recline positions (including a flat one for napping) keep them comfortable. All the standard features are here: a three-position canopy with viewing window, foot-pedal brakes, lockable front wheels, and compartments for cell phones and water bottles. The one-hand collapsing mechanism is notably simple, and the spring-down basket is generously sized and easy to access. A cozy boot and a snack tray for baby are also included.
The Comfort car seat included with the system is equipped for LATCH or seatbelt installation and locks securely into the leave-in car base or the stroller. The shoulder straps adjust to four different heights, and the five-point harness resists twisting. A rotating canopy and an infant head support are also included. --Emily Bedard
