Sit'n Stroll meets or exceeds all USA Department of Transportation
FMV SS 213 safety standards. The Sit'n Stroll is rated to
30 pounds in the rear-facing position and 40 pounds in the
forward-facing position. When removed from a vehicle, the
Sit'n Stroll converts easily to a full function stroller
for children up to 40 pounds. Finally, the Sit'n Stroll
is an FAA-certified flight seat and a booster seat for dining.
The 5-n-1 Sit'n Stroll: Finally, a product that does it
all? No longer do parents have to wake their children when
they arrive at their destination.
No longer is it necessary to put several pieces together
and waste much needed space in the trunk of the car?Going
on a trip? Imagine how convenient travel becomes with the
Sit'n Stroll?.You fly into town with your baby beside you
in the FAA-certified flight seat.
When it's time to disembark from the plane, you transform
the Sit'n Stroll from a flight seat to a full function stroller,
and glide up the jet way into the airport. You stop for
a quick bite to eat, and the Sit'n Stroll becomes a handy
booster seat at the dining table. Then it's back to stroller
as you leave the terminal to hail a taxi. With one motion,
the Sit'n Stroll transforms back into a car seat, which
quickly buckles into the taxi, and you're on your way. From

lifesaver, December 1, 2005
Reviewer: James W. Picht (Louisiana, USA)
My wife and I bought one of these almost two years ago.
We first used it on a very long trip by air and by train.
We've used it on subways, in restaurants, in cars and vans,
and just to take the kids for an afternoon stroll. We've
used it with my son and daughter from ages one to three;
at four years old (and 36 pounds) our son is too large to
find it comfortable, but it's still just right for our two-year
old daughter (25 lbs). It's been one of the most useful
things we've bought for getting our kids from here to there.
The Sit N Stroll works as a car seat and a stroller. With
the shove of one handle the wheels pop out and lock in place
or collapse back into the stroller. I manage to do this
fairly easily with our daughter (25 pounds) strapped in.
It's too heavy for my wife to do with our daughter in the
seat, but she finds it very easy to set up or collapse when
it's empty.
This seat fits into a standard coach airline seat. It straps
securely into every car we've put it in, though not always
without some effort. It restrains the child with a five-point
harness that isn't easily opened by anyone under two (our
daughter suddenly got very good at opening it a few months
ago). A seat belt (with or without shoulder harness) fits
easily over the front to hold the seat in place, and there's
a strap at the top of it that clips to a small bracket that
seems to be standard just for that purpose in most cars
and trucks built in the last five years.
This seat doesn't have as much storage as I'd like; we
always have to carry an extra bag with us. It also has smaller
and harder wheels than do most dedicated strollers, giving
it perhaps a less comfortable ride on rough surfaces and
definitely making it harder to wheel it over some obstacles.
It's much more comfortable for my wife to push than for
me, because I have to bend over slightly to reach the handle;
at 6'3" it gives me a back ache to push this with both
hands for very long. I can stand straight when I push it
one-handed, though, and it's pretty easy to do that.
None of those problems is serious. I love pulling up to
a restaurant, popping the seat with our daughter out of
the car, popping out the wheels, pushing it into the restaurant,
and collapsing it back down and putting it on a chair. It's
all so easy and it keeps our daughter under control the
whole time. This thing was a lifesaver on our last long
trip. The kids like it and seem to find it comfortable.
With some more storage and a longer handle, I'd give it
five stars.

MUST HAVE FOR TRAVEL-DESPITE DRAWBACKS, January
3, 2006 - Reviewer: Georgia Emelin
Okay, I never do this but I had to review this after taking
it on a trip to Mexcio with my 6.5 month old daughter.We
got the sit and stroll for traveling since thew infant /kohlcraft
combo seemed too small for our 26.75" 18 lb daughter.I
traveled solo by car to Sacramento( 6 hours),spent four
days running around, in and out of different cars,restaurants,parks,
walking trails, department stores etc, then took two huge
wheeled suitcases and flew to LAX and then to Mexico to
meet my husband-all with the sit and stroll in tow.I needed
no help getting in and out of the hotels/cabs/planes because
the "one handed steering" is just that.I checked
it at the gate each time and put her in the bjorn for everything
else.She seemed to be as comfortable as the regular car
seat and stroller we use.It was perfect, no extra space
needed for a stroller, no gross high chairs at restaurants(
and if she was alseep, I just put the handle down and nestled
the stroller under the table).Also the toy bag that comes
with is my permanent toy bag now-basic ,mesh handled thing
that hangs off the bars.I also covered it really simply
with some pretty lightweight fabric for warm weather.
Here are the down sides to the sit and stroll:
Not the prettiest contraption....(sorry,...vanity..)
Annoying to install, but not as difficult as some have said-put
a rolled up blanket or towel underneath to stabilize or
use the seat back in front of it(rear facing) to brace it.
On the heavy side to convert alone, but doable.I had lots
of bruises on my arm from the bar on the back( I converted
it alone for most of the trip, but I did it successfully
every time without a whole lot of effort-squeeze and push
down or squeeze and pull up).
Sunshade needs to be longer, I used a rayshade extender
to supplement.
Wheels aren't cushy at ALL,so any traveling on unsmooth
surfaces is not pleasant for you or baby-loud and rattling
and bumpy-but for airports and hotels and malls and a day
by the pool at the beach it is just fine-cobblestone streets
are not so fun though.
that is it!
