I bought the Maclaren Easy Traveller to use with my Chicco KeyFit30 carseat. I had hoped that the stroller would fit into the trunk of my VW beetle. (It doesn't.) However, it has turned out to be one of my favorite baby purchases. It's light, umbrella folds (Snap and Gos -the competition- fold in half), has a carrying handle, and doesn't come unfolded while you carry it. Even better, it turns on a dime. I use it to grocery shop because the basket is so large and it maneuvers so easily. If I'm nitpicking, my only complaint is that it's wider than the Snap and Go, which makes it hard to take to busy Chicago restaurants. Oh, I love this thing. I highly recommend it.

This one is by far one of our best baby purchases. I looked at the snap-n-go and universal carseat carrier before deciding on this one. Let me tell you, there is no comparison. The Mac is a bit more expensive, but it is super light weight, easy to fold and unfold and takes up such little space in the trunk of the car; not to mention the good looks. Highly recommended!

I have a Maclaren Volo that we used EVERYWHERE with our first child, now 4, so we decided to try the Easy Traveler out with our 2nd child it has everything we love about Maclaren strollers. It is lightweight, folds easily very compactly, handles like a dream - we'd compared it with the Graco equivalent before making out decision there is absolutely nothing equivalent about it. I was very sorry when my daughter outgrew her car seat. I'd definitely recommend this to any new parent - it is worth every dollar

Easy Traveling Indeed!

We love our Maclaren Easy Traveler. It's lightweight enough were you can pick it up and open it with one hand, while holding your baby car seat in your other hand. It can squeeze between tight spaces and the basket is large enough for your purse, a diaper bag, coats, baby blanket, and items you've picked up while shopping. The stroller fits the graco snugride well, snaps on and off fairly easily, and the best part is that when your done with the stroller, its compact enough to fit into your trunk and have room for groceries.

Very useful, light weight compact

One of the baby items I use almost everyday. I tried other brands but this was the lightest compact since it folds twice.
br /MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS PUT THE SECURE BELT ON so the car seat doesn't fall. My husband dropped our daughter in a car seat while he was playing with her without the belt. She didn't get hurt. Thank god that she was wearing the belt on the car seat. It really scared me though. Great product. Use with caution!

The best travel stroller!

The maclaren travel stroller is very lightweight, easy to fold, compact to store and easy to maneuver. We had the snap and go for our first child and intended to use that again to get the most use out of our baby gear, but once we tried the easy traveler we had to splurge and get this stroller for our second child even though we'll only be able to use it for one kid. Love it...Well worth the expense!

Extremely convenient

I purchased the Chicco Keyfit 30 travel system, however after having a c-section I HATED the huge stroller. I found this i cannot imagine having to use the Chicco stroller now. This is extremely light, easy to use and the basket holds my big diaper bag as well as shopping bags. We take it on long walks, to church, shopping, wherever. Its easy enough for my 8 year old to open close it. I dont like that after my baby is out of the car seat I'll have no further use for it.

good stroller

This stroller works great with my Chicco Keyfit car seat. The two things I don't like about it are the directions that Mclarens have a bad, they are not detailed and don't even have words, just bad pictures. It is also kinda complicated to fold and unfold. Maybe not complicated, just hard to remember and not very easy to do. The basket is really big and you can still get inside it from the front when the car seat is on it. The stroller is really easy to push, even with one hand, very smooth too! Was wonderful in the airport and is great for taking in and out of the trunk since it is so much lighter than travel system stroller. Worth it!

I miss it!

I bought this stroller to be able to fly alone with my son and it was our best purchase to date! The Graco SnugRide fit right in without any adjustments--although I think you have to make some adjustments to the stroller to accomodate other brands. The shopping basket is large enough to hold my son's biggest diaper bag, my coat and purse, and other little odds and ends. It maneuvers very well, and is so much easier to use than our bigger, heavier Rock Star Baby stroller. My son just outgrew his car seat, though, and I miss this stroller! I bought another Maclaren, the Techno XT, because I loved the Easy Traveller so much!

BEST purchase EVER!!

I bought this for my third child, having already used the snap n'go for my two older children. Must say, I am extremely pleased with this MAC. It is very lightweight and so easy to open and close. It is also very compact, most of the time i was storing it on the floor of my backseat! Also, the basket is large enough for everything...i even stored my other children's winter coats when we went shopping in a mall. I highly recommend this for any new mother.

Very functional

Excellent product. A definitely 5 star for those who are just looking at basic functionality. I would definitely recommend it to others. Really does what it's suppose to do very well. I'm a bit harsh on rating. I just think that if it looked better and offered a more usable cup holder, I would have given it a 5.

I have had this stroller for about 1 month now and my son is almost two months old. This is the best stroller ever! I love that it an umbrella stroller, no other company has that. It's well made, light and easy to use with one hand. It was also easy to figure out right when I got it and didn't have to put anything together either. I use a Graco Snug fit carseat with and have never had a problem.

Lightweight, maneuverable and very compact!

This stroller delivers on its promises of being lightweight and very compact and has been a lifesaver since it is light enough to be gate checked with our car seat at the airport. My only recommendation, which is very minor, is that Maclaren make the bottle holder larger and more sturdy. Any bottle I have put in the holder has fallen when going over a bump (the snap and go's have very sturdy holders). Other than that, this stroller is perfect for us.

Wow, Awesome

I know "love" is a strong word, but I really love our Maclaren Easy Traveller. We purchased the Graco travel system for our baby, and it really is awesome with the full size stroller and the great car seat. However, we travel quite a bit (once a month through the airport) and the Graco stroller is not travel-friendly. The Maclaren Easy Traveller is a breeze to take through security checks. It wraps up like an umbrella stroller, and opens up easily. The car seat locks in without problems.
br /
br /If your baby is not at the point of sitting up on his/her own, and you know you'll be using the carseat for quite some time, it just makes sense to have an Easy Traveller.
br /
br /Several other notes: We didn't connect the cup holder, so it's easier for us to use, plus I like the benefit of not having anything in between me and the baby. He feels "closer". Also, the basket was able to hold quite a bit of stuff on a recent shopping trip. It has easy access from the front, but a little tougher to get big things in from the back. I was concerned that the wheels didn't look sturdy enough, but Maclaren knows what they're doing. This thing has held up through gravel.
br /
br /We strongly recommend the Maclaren easy traveller.

Love it!!

Maclaren Easy Traveller Stroller Black and Silver
br /This stroller is exactly what I was looking for. It is lightweight and easy to use. I don't kick the wheels when I walk (I almost always do with any other stroller), it works great with Britax (it locks in over the bar in the back). It is so easy to use and so manuverable that I couldn't be happier. I am dreading when my infant outgrows his car seat and I have to move on to a different stroller.

This is a must have!!! Love it...

I purchased this item for our trip to Florida --- beach time and Disney World for a few days. We did not have the room to lug our full size stroller and we wanted something small, convenience light weight but not cheap. I was so pleased with this item, I wish I would have purchased it when my son was first born.

br /I have the Britax Companion seat and the Britax Vigour and this is a must purchase for any vacation or to use in place of the oversized stroller sets.

I started off using a Peg Perego car seat but found that it didn't work well with the Maclaren (not to mention that the car seat itself was heavy and difficult to use). It was much easier putting my baby into the Graco car seat (she also fussed a lot less in it) and the Graco snapped into the Maclaren Easy Traveler very well. The cargo space in the bottom was ample and great for groceries, etc.

Fantastic Value - Way better than Travel Sets

With my first child we purchased a car seat with a matching stroller. BIG MISTAKE the stroller was so large, heavy, and unmanagable we only used it about three to five times. We finally ended up purchasing a maclaren stroller that was feather light and extremely durable. We loved it! So when the time came around to purchase a new car seat for the current bun-in-oven we didn't even think twice. We purchased a Graco Safe Seat and this stroller. I got both today -- I LOVE this stroller. Super light weight, compact, easy to use. The adjustments that were necessary to accommodate the car seat were as simple as unscrewing two screws. This is by far the best stroller purchase we've made. I can't wait to use it with a baby inside...as it is, my son is having a great time pushing it around the house. Who knew, it not only is great for hauling around a baby, but will keep a 4 1/2 year old entertained for hours too. :)

Not for the Britax Companion

We were thrilled that Maclaren came out with an infant car seat stroller frame...especially since it is marketed to accomodate the Britax Companion. To our dismay, the Easy Traveler does NOT safely hold the Companion and the stroller we received is actually defective. My husband is active duty military we live in Japan, so we depend on online shopping. Because the shipping time is so long we are outside of our 30 day return time...so now we have to deal directly with Maclaren. Well, actually an authorized repair company for Maclaren. Not sure where we'll find one in JAPAN! The stroller is over priced and it's a hassel to deal with this company. We are crossing our fingers that nothing goes wrong with our Techno XT.
