The Product: Travel Stroller / Carseat

There are a few unique products on the market that are designed to help you bring less gear with you when you travel.

Recommendation: Lilly Gold Sit N Stroll Review

I have to confess that I don’t currently own a Lilly Gold Sit N Stroll, but I have done a lot of formal and informal research on the product and plan to get one this time around. The Sit N Stroll is very cleverly designed product which acts as a hybrid carseat/stroller designed to easily convert between both functions. It can also be used as a booster seat for dining. If you travel by airplane a lot, this should be an invaluable product for you. I have several friends who love it and I have often chatted with parents in airports to ask them their option of the product, only to hear similar accolades. The Sit N Stroll is LATCH equipped and can be used both rear facing (5-30lbs) and forward facing (20-40 pounds). For those that are worried about the performance of the Sit N’ Stroll as a carseat, the company claims it meet or exceeds all current federal safety standards. It’s also approved for airplane use.

Devil's Advocate:

Although it is a master of all trades, if you plan to give the Sit N Stroll a real workout as a stroller, you may be disappointed. Even if you do need to bring a separate stroller, I have read reviews from many parents who say its worth having just for the ability to use as a stroller in and around the airport, especially if you have a connection. This way you just check your stroller with your luggage and skip the whole gate check process, which is usually how strollers get damaged anyway. Also, check out the GoGo Kidz, whihc is another great alternative.

Recommended Accessories

I would recommenced getting the travel bag (See Pricing & Styles) if you ever need to gate check your Sit & Stroll to protect it from damage. The Sun Shade is also great attachment for those warm weather destinations.
