Eddie Bauer Stravel System

Check both cpsc.gov for recent recalls on any brand of car seat or booster, and check the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety web site. IIHS just issued some warnings today about brands not to buy and I think Eddie Bauer had models on both their "good" list and their "avoid" list. The IIHS item was on older kids' boosters but you might check it out anyway. When we still needed car seats, strollers, cribs, etc. I always checked cpsc.gov for recall information before buying a kids' item --even if an item hasn't been recalled, it may be from a manufacturer that has recalls on its other products, which to me is a red flag. I am not saying Eddie Bauer has had these issues but it's always worth checking every brand before buying. Good luck.

I had an Eddie Bauer set with my daughter, though I don't know which model it was. I liked it very much except that it didn't fit in my Jetta. I mean by a lot. No one else could ride with me in that vehicle. Because it lays your child down more than most infant seats. The stroller was excellent and it was very convenient to have a stroller to just stick the carseat and then grew very well as my daughter got older. Hope this helps some.

Pick up the latest copy of Baby Bargains! It's a great book that has reviews on just about everything out there. Unfortunately, I remember from last year's book, Eddie Bauer (made by Cosco) was given a C+ for their travel system becuase of consumer complaints ("squeaqy wheels, hard-to-adjust harnesses, and other quality woes").

One of the car seat recalls from earlier in this week was sold uner the eddie bauer brand. You might want to check into that to see if it effects your order. Sears would probably pull the seats, but you may wan tot make sure. Sorry I have no other info other ethan that I always foudn the eddie baour lines very attractive!
