Eddie Bauer Trail Hiker, 3 Wheel Travel System (car seat/stroller) Review-Giveway!

As a mom of now 2 kids, I now how important a good travel system is. I know when I first had Hayley, I was constantly struggling with finding the best way to travel with her. I would use her car seat but then had to transfer her to a stroller, which was a big hassle in and of itself. Thankfully, I found out about travel systems along the way, that makes life as a mom much easier. It makes you be able to transfer a sleeping baby in an infant car seat to a stroller, by just snapping the car seat into the stroller. I have learned that there are many travel systems which include the infant car seat and stroller on the market, but one that I absolutely love is the Eddie Bauer Trail Hiker, 3 Wheel Travel System.14097379

When we first received the Eddie Bauer Travel System, it was an extremely easy to set up. The car seat was virtually set up, and the stroller just needed a few minutes of assembly, to get it up and running. The Eddie Bauer Travel System comes with the Infant Car Seat, Base, and 3 Wheel Stroller.

When you think of a Infant Car Seat, I think of a car seat that I use for a limited time, before I transfer to a convertible car seat. However with the Eddie Bauer infant car seat, it could be used from 4-35 pounds, and up to 32 inches! It is meant to be used as a rear facing car seat with a much wider weight/height range than your typical car seats. This is a huge plus because you can use your travel system for a longer time, rather than just the first few months.

The Eddie Bauer Infant Car Seat has added side impact protection and removable infant head support. It has a special QuickClick which attaches the car seat to the stroller with one simple click. This is a huge feature because as a mom/dad, especially one with more than one children,  your hands are always full taking care of the baby and other child. With this feature, it allows you to simply put your child’s seat right into the stroller with no extra parts required to assemble. It also is LATCH equipped and obviously meets and exceeds Federal Safety Standards.Eddie Bauer Travel System

The Infant Car Seat we received was of a black/red color which is perfect for a boy or a girl. It also matches the Eddie Bauer 3 Wheel Stroller perfectly. In terms of the stroller, it features a 3 wheel design for superior maneuverability. I took this stroller for a test stroll with Hayley in it, and it rides beautifully. Even with Hayley being 35 pounds, I had no problem gliding the stroller around our bumpy streets. As I was taking  it for a spin ride, I saw that it also features a removable tray and 2 cups, which I LOVE! I tend to put food on the tray and that keeps my kids occupied for some time. I use the cup holder to put Zane’s sippy or Hayley’s big girl cup, so it is readily accessible when they are thirsty. As awesome as this is, it also has a storage unit for your Ipad, wallet, cards, etc next to the cup holders. It  features a storage basket below the stroller that is covered.Eddie Bauer Travel System

While Zane likes to lay down and recline, Hayley likes to stay fully upright. The Eddie Bauer Stroller enables both as it has a multi-position seat recline, which I could readily move depending on positions.  It features the standard 5 point harness and is easily stored away and folded up with one hand. Best of all, it accommodates a child up to 50 pounds!DSC09111

I love the Eddie Bauer Travel System which features their top rated infant car seat and stroller. It provides me great comfort knowing my children are comfortable and safe in their car seat and stroller. It allows superior maneuverability through the streets and allows them to have a comfortable ride. The Eddie Bauer Trail Hiker Travel System is available at Target for $199.99.DSC09110

    This looks like a great stroller. I love that the car seat can go from car to stroller…so much easier than taking a sleeping baby out of the car seat.

  2. Sharon - MomGenerations.com says

    Expecting my 10th grandbaby, but having almost 5 years passed since grandbaby #9, I’m brushing up on all the latest baby/kid gear. Thanks for this wonderful post; and the most appealing feature to this Grandma is the folding and storing with one hand! Yes!

  4. Michele says

    What a blessing to be able to go from car seat to stroller and back again with ease!! And I have always noticed the 3 wheel design –glad to know it is easily maneuverable.

  11. Jennifer says

    that’s one nice looking stroller! my youngest is three so we’ve been passed the stroller stage for quite a while, now we rock the wagon!

  15. Jennifer Roberts says

    I like that it is virtually set up. I am not handy at all and hate putting things together!!

  17. Chelsea Korth says

    I love that the car seat can be attached to the stroller- it makes it so much easier if they are sleeping!

  23. Michelle Hudak says

    I like the simple one-hand fold & store. I never seem to have enough hands and I like how compactly it folds to fit in my trunk

  31. @jackiehennesse1 says

    This is like an SUV stroller – so sleek looking AND durable. I like how it holds a child up to 50 lbs! I want one so I can give it to my friends who just had another baby! 😉

  36. Debbie Lewis says

    I love this but I really like it has a storage unit for your Ipad or wallet next to the cup holders.

  40. Kirsten says

    The stuff that they have nowadays makes me so envious! We had such awkward and clunky systems when my son was born, which we reused for my daughter. This looks very cool and functional.

  41. Erin R. says

    I really like that it can hold kids up to 50 lbs which is nice so you can use it for a long time.

  54. jodi frasier says

    I love the looks of it and the way it has 3 wheels.. So used to using the old fashioned style that this would be really nice to own. Thanks

  56. Emi says

    Actually I like that your daughter fits well in the stroller as I have daughters of similar age and they are a tight fit in our stroller. Also, I like the 3 wheel design for manuverability.

  66. Andrea Rideaux says

    Love that the car seat is larger than the average ones on the market and also appreciate the stroller’s sleek design.

  68. april says

    My favorite feature is that the seat is larger than the typical one, going up to 35 lbs. and 32 inches.

  72. pinky sade says

    I love the 3 wheel design and that it features their top rated infant car seat and stroller

  81. LeeAnn says

    I like what looks like a large storage area under the seat. A stroller is worthless to me if it doesn’t have space to store all of my stuff!

  92. Bekah Kuczenski says

    I like that it is a travel system and I love that the car seat can hold up to 35 lbs!!!

  95. silvia says

    i just found out i’m pregnant and am looking for a stroller that is long lasting… i love that this can last from an infant to a toddler without having to buy a new one. it looks awesome!!

  104. Debra S says

    The WHEELS! I live on gravel roads, and we also do a lot of things like our county fair, Ren Faire, etc.. no pavement! without a stroller like this, it’s near impossible to push! The adjustable handle is awesome too… FAR too many stollers, you are hunched over and that really stinks.

  106. Debbie/Africa's Blog says

    love the 3 wheeled design. my partner and i are desperate to win a stroller giveaway with our little due in a couple months.

  109. Barbara Mayes says

    I love the 3 Wheel Stroller..seems more efficient and easier to puch with only 3 wheels.

  111. Janice Cash says

    I love that the car seat attaches to the stroller, would love to win for my on the way grandchild.

  123. Stephanie L. says

    I like the 3 wheels, I’ve used the 4 wheeled strollers in the past and they’re hard to use.

  124. katherine d says

    i like the special QuickClick which attaches the car seat to the stroller with one simple click

  128. Myrna says

    I really like all the features! The cup holder is a nice touch. And I like that the car seat can go into the stroller.

  138. Kellie says

    I would love to win this for my sister in law. She’s due in June with a boy. It’s her first.

  143. Andrea M says

    I LOVE the adjustable shoulder straps on the carseat. I DEARLY missed that with my first two!

  145. Robyn Galloway says

    I like the weight limit on the stroller as i have a 38lb 2 yr old who I would like to still put in a stroller for a while longer!

  148. Angela F. says

    I love a lot of features about this travel system…lol!! Holds up to 50 lbs, the three wheel design, it’s safe, etc.!! LOVE it! Great giveaway! Thank you! 🙂

  156. Brooke M Adametz says

    I love all of the storage spaces! I also like the 3 wheel design, it seems like it would be easier to handle!

  158. Katie Campbell says

    As a first time mom I love the easy of a travel system that will work for so many things!

  164. Sarah says

    It’s tied between the three wheel design of the stroller and the ease of using a bucket seat with it!

  179. Emily B says

    Baby number 3 is on the way, and it’s been a while since the other two. We’re in desperate need of a stroller! This one would do the trick. So many changes in strollers since 2005! Love that this one is so, so simple!

  188. Jan says

    I like that you said it’s easy to assemble and the car seat is already assembled 🙂 I also like the spaces for storage of things you may need to carry along 🙂

  190. Ashley says

    I like that you can use it for an extended period of time – not just when they’re a certain age or weight.

  192. Eileen says

    My favorite feature is the 3 wheel design for easy maneuverability. I always had the 4 wheel clunky ones and you struggle so much with the wheel base. I’d love this for my daughter for her son, she does not have a stroller yet and he is over a year old.

  212. Jaelynn Branch says

    Honestly, just the fact that it is a stroller is great! Ours is kind of a piece of trash. I would love to know my little girl is comfortable and safe!

  216. Jamie Brigham says

    I love that the stroller holds kids up to 50 lbs. and that it rolls so smoothly over rough surfaces.

  217. Carolina T says

    I love that the stroller has a multi positon reclining seat and can hold up to a 50 lb child

  226. Karen Dorris says

    of course Eddie Bauer has reputation for quality……..and I like that it does not look too “complicated”

  230. Bella T. says

    I love everything about this stroller but mostly the multi-position seat recline and the three wheels!

  232. sam dock says

    I like that it accomidates an infant carseat but also still is large enough for your daughter to fit into! Also love the lower cargo space.

  239. Jen says

    I like the convenience of the seat right into stroller option for easy travel from car to your destination!

  240. holly says

    I love the three wheel design. I also love the red and black design that would be considered great for boy or girl!

  242. brandi hawn says

    i like that it’s really rugged b/c i live on a dirt road and it’s hard to push my son’s regular stroller so this would be really nice 🙂

  246. Sara Blose says

    I like that it holds a high capacity on weight and it looks like it would ride smooth with its 3 wheels

  254. Tina 'the book lady' says

    I’m especially interested in the stroller with it’s 3 wheel design. It looks like it moves smoothly and has a full handle instead of just a handle on each side. Thanks for the giveaway!

  256. jenna says

    I like the fact that is it so easy to manuver. I have a bad back and this would make life so much easier for me! Thanks!

  259. Addison Kat says

    I love that its a travel system and it doesn’t need an adapter to use the carseat with the stroller!

  272. Andrea T. says

    I love how safe the car seat seems! I also love the 3 wheels on the stroller! It can be easily stored! This would be awesome for #2 baby on the way!

  275. Holly S. says

    I love that the seat goes right from the car to the stroller. I wish I had one of these when my daughter was a baby! Thanks! hstorm799{at}gmail{dot}com

  282. Rajani Patil says

    The storage basket, reclining seat and easy maneuvering are the best features I love about this stroller

  284. Jill Myrick says

    I love that it has an adjustable handle as there is over a foot in height difference between my husband and me.

    jweezie43[at]gmail[dot]com

  285. Hannah says

    I love that it has 3 wheels instead of 4. That makes it easier to move around things, like if I am shopping.

  289. Robby Rob says

    the 3 wheel design is cool. makes it look like it takes up less space. and space is always an issue!

  291. Annette Rosenberg says

    I love that it fits kids up to 50 pounds so we’d get alot of use out of it before she outgrew it.

  293. Hesper Fry says

    I like the Quickclick feature which attaches the car seat to the stroller with one simple click.

  303. sarah says

    I love that the car seat just clicks quickly and easily into the stroller and also the stroller handle height adjustment would be really nice!

  308. Paol Trenny says

    I love that the stroller holds kids up to 50 lbs and the multi position seat recline—– Pauline aka Paol Trenny ….. emscout9 at Hotmail dot com

  313. Connie V. says

    I love the fact that it’s both a car seat, and a stroller in one. This would be great for a two month old.

    Thank you for hosting this very generous giveaway! =)

  314. Darlene Owen says

    I like that the Car Seat has added side impact protection and removable infant head support

  316. Kari Flores says

    I like that it folds with one hand since with a baby you always seem to be carrying something or someone in the other hand.

  317. Jill L says

    I love that the infant seat can latch right onto the stroller. No waking baby up to transfer to the stroller.

  318. Cristen Fischl says

    Love the red and black! Gender neutral. Nice large wheels for smooth ride. Holds infants to toddlers, baby seat goes from car to stroller without fiddling with straps and blankets. Great! what is not to like?

  321. Jayme Hennessy says

    I love the three wheel system. It makes maneuverability all the easier. It looks like it would have more of a feel of a running stroller.

  323. Dawn Sterner says

    I love everything about it & it would be great for my first grandson who was born yesterday morning!! 🙂

  326. Terri Moore says

    I like that it can be folded up using one hand and is easy to maneuver. Very important for a Mom.

  331. Tina LaBau says

    I like the tray and cup holder. Both look really deep so less chance of stuff falling off on a bumpy road.

  333. Charisse says

    I love that you can use the travel system for a longer amount of time compared to most other models! That and the three wheeled system looks very easy to maneuver, especially in more crowded situations.

  345. natasha tucker says

    I love that I could use the stroller until my son is 50 pounds, and love the reclining feature for his naps while we’re out and about 🙂

  347. Rebecca Orr says

    I love the weight limit and the front swivel wheels. Perfect for hikes and jogging! We do a lot of that and need something like this!

  353. Jenny says

    I love how long you can use it since the weight goes up to 50 lbs and with the car seat attachment it would get lots of use!!!
