Keyfit 30 Travel Systems

momtoirs · May 31, 2010

My brother and SIL are expecting their first and would like a Keyfit travel system. I'm seeing very limited choices online as I look to find them one (one get us gift givers a good deal

). They seem to be very sold out.

I think we are looking for a travel system with the Cortina stroller and a Keyfit 30.

Any suggestions for where to look?

Are they set on the Cortina with the keyfit? I have that travel system and if I were to do it again I would get the new First Years Indigo stroller instead. It is less expensive than the Cortina (Amazon has it for $119, can be price matched at diapers.com and then bing for 10% back and any other applicable discounts). It comes with an adapter bar that fits the keyfit and can be used as a stroller as well (and reclines flat into a bassinet mode). The best part is, it can be reversed to be parent facing as a stroller! Once my LO was out of the travel system age, I hated the Cortina and moved onto a BJCM.... Now the Cortina sits in our basement...
There is a thread reviewing it with pics on the BB boards.
HTH!
BTW - KF is an awesome choice - we love ours!!!
ETA - the Cortina travel system is among the best travel systems and I loved it as a travel system, I just don't love the Cortina as a stroller.... Babies r us tends to stock them as well and you can use 20% off coupons
