Travel systems??
Answer:
Get the one with the SnugRide, consumer reports rated it the best
I have the Quattro Tour in Oakwood that you are looking at and I love it. The stroller I used all the time, especially in the beginning, but it does take up a lot of room in the trunk. It also will not stand up straight when folded. I use it for walks still and keep a Maclaren in my trunk. The car seat worked fine for me, was roomy enough for my daughter. I stopped using it by 3 months though, only because infant car seats are hard on my back. I now use an Eddie Bauer car seat that I bought for $80 and goes all the way to a 100lbs. Be careful with used car seats. You may not be aware if it was in even a minor accident. Also, there are many places that offer car seat inspections. I had both of mine professionally installed for free at our hospital. There are police stations and fire houses that do it. They can make a car seat fit well in your car.
I would say to stay clear of used car seats. Because if they have been in any kind of accident it isn't safe to be used again. If you are looking for a new one I would suggest going online to

That is were I got my car seat and stroller combo. They offer free shipping on their items. My Mother in law bought it for me for my baby shower. The stroller and car seat combo was only $139.00 and it was the stroller with the 3 big wheels which is so easy to steer.
Here is the link to the one I got

It is 139.99 with free shipping. I still have my stroller because my lil one has out grown the car seat but I am so happy I got this one and not the ones with the smaller wheels.
Good luck hope this helped.
u mean the Graco Safeseat...i had a graco travel system with a snugride seat, and i think the Safeseat is better cuz it is a bit bigger...the snugride is for babies 5-20lbs and the safeseat is from 5lbs- 30lbs i think...but it will fir in ur car no problem, unless ur car is a Mr.bean car or something lol and i doubt that...i dont think it's that much bigger, if i had to cxhoose i would pick the new with the Safeseat, and even though it says gently used...i wouldnt not be too sure on buying a second hand carseat...i would buy a 2nd hand stroller...but just not the carseat!! hope this helps you!!
I would go with the snug ride it is rated the best by consumer reports as being one of the safest car seats on the market. I just bought a one for my newborn.
It is strongly recommended by experts that you not get a used carseat unless it comes from a friend or relative whom you know has not been in a car accident.
Consumer reports did rate the Graco Snugride WITH EPS the best in its latest test (which has since been retracted due to speeds not being what consumer reports said they were).
It is sooooo important that you get a seat that fits well in your car, it really can make THE difference between safety and harm if involved in an accident. A car seat is not a fashion statement, it is a safety device, and its a bonus if you get a pattern you like.
the only diff between the car seats is that the safety first holds a baby slightly longer, it has a higher weight limit on it, but by the time your baby weighs over 22 lbs (which is what the smaller one holds) they can ride in a forward facing, even my preemie could.. however, there is the risk that if they lied & were in an accident, there could be some damage to the seat... is it on ebay or have you seen it? if you have seen it, look at it again, check EVERY inch of the carseat for any cracks, tears in the straps (which technically could be replaced) just look all over it, tug on the straps, try out the buckle a few times, make sure it latches securely, if it has the stay-in-car base, make sure the seat snaps securely to it.... if it is on ebay or whatever, if you can email them, tell them you are very interested in it, & was wondering if they could send you some more detailed photos of the system so you can be sure of the condition it is in, just being cautious.. but truthfully, most of these things don't get half the use they were intended to take before the baby outgrows them, so chances are the used one is just fine, but you definitely want to be certain for your baby's safety, & so you don't waste money on something that is damaged
