CONVENIENCE TOTAL GRADE: B-
weight
positive reviewsD
Weighing in at 40 pounds, the Eddie Bauer Aluminum travel system is HEAVY and was a major complaint amongst all reviewers.
folding
positive reviewsB+
Featuring an easy one-hand accordian fold, the Eddie Bauer Aluminum Travel System received unanimously positive reviews for its folding mechanism, and unanimous complaints against its massive bulk when folded down, although parents were pleased that it could stand on its own when folded.
cleaning
positive reviewsB+
Although both the car seat and the stroller seat padding are conveniently removable and machine-washable, parents found the car seat padding near-impossible to remove, and thus the Eddie Bauer Aluminum Travel System received a lower grade for the overall inconvenience of the chore.
storage options
positive reviewsB
Featuring underseat storage, three cupholders (two for parents!), a handle pouch and little compartments for keys and cell phones or whatever you might use them for, parents appreciated the ample space available, but complained that the underseat storage on the Eddie Bauer Aluminum Travel System is difficult to access when the seat is fully reclined (as when the carrier is being used).
