Joie Ginger and Rue Travel System - Shale Dark

Seems like target is giving false advertisement…. Did not come with the car seat as it states, called target services. They refused to send the car seat, and had us go to store to do a whole return order. On top of that, still had to go and find another item around the store. I’m on my last trimester, and I don’t have time to be going up & down on something they did wrong.

we love the stroller and the bassinet. walks are smooth even on gravel/dirt. my biggest issue is the carseat. its nice material and over all looks nice. the ledge on the sides where the legs are are pretty high so its hard to quick peak in on baby from front seats. also its angled weird for infants. I would not trust this carseat for long rides as I am not confident that she can breath very well. there is a premature baby insert inside the infant insert. once I removed that, it did help a little and she looks a little more comfortable. I am hoping that as she gets bigger and we remove the infant insert that she will sit better in the seat. I do wish I would have spent the extra $100-$200 dollar and bought the travel system I originally wanted which was an evenflo as the whole system overall looks better and easier to use.

High quality and smooth

👍

Missing the parts for me to place the car seat on the stroller

Stolen

LOVE this stroller. This is my 4th child and we had our kids very spread apart so we have gotten a new stroller each time, this was it for us! The ease of all the attachments and it rides so smooth.

Love love this stroller combo. Totally worth the money. It’s easy to assemble, the wheels are smooth and you don’t have to worry about the car seat or bassinet getting stuck when you take it off the hinges. Would recommend this again and again. Such great quality!

Little expensive, but worth to buy.

I love this Travel System❤️❤️

10/10

Love the look and feel of this travel system. It is by far the easiest one i have ever had

Very good service and time

Unfortunately I had to return this item because the part that holds the wheel was bent. Very upsetting because this was a gift so now I’m shopping for a new stroller.

I’m missing pieces I’ve contacted the company Joie to see what they can do I don’t know how yall can help

First I would like to say this travel system is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. It’s definitely gives Nuna vibes. However the functionality of the car seat and stroller is lacking. I recently had my third baby and it’s been 7 years since my last child so I knew a lot had chanced. I typically always bought Graco products but I wanted to choose something different this time. I spent months of researching and watching TikTok videos and this travel system received so much praise. But honestly the cons have made me regret my purchase. For the pros, the stroller rides really smooth. The car seat releases easily out of the car seat base. Which has been an issue for me with other car seats. The car seat is also lightweight. But the cons had me stressed to the max. My baby was 6 pounds at birth and never looked comfortable in the seat. For some reason he always looked slouched which had me concerned about his airways. He’s now 2 months old and it has improved slightly. Next con is the canopy does not shade my baby from the sun. In the car, he cries when the sun gets in his face. This is also a problem when the car seat is connected to the stroller. Every time we are outside, the sun is in his face and he can barely open his eyes. One of the cons for the stroller is the car seat is hard to click in. There are special attachments for the car seat to click into the stroller and you have to do it just right. The first time I tried, I didn’t click it in just right and the car seat got stuck. I was in a panic by myself with the baby struggling in a parking lot to get the car seat to unlatch. This was super stressful. Also folding and opening the stroller hasn’t been fun either. Sometimes it was easy and other times it was a nightmare. I will say with lots of practice, it’s finally getting better after 2 months. But I don’t feel like it should take all of that. Also, I don’t feel like the stroller will properly grow with my child into his toddler years. The bassinet attachment that comes with it converts into an upright seat but it seems like it wouldn’t hold a toddler for long especially in length. In conclusion, I really regret my purchase. This is my last baby and I feel like the travel system is lacking. These new travel systems are just more complicated than needed. For a first time mom who never experience a nice basic sturdy travel system like they made 7 and 10 years ago , then maybe this system isn’t too bad. It’s pretty and affordable. But for me I wish I would have stuck with my tried and true brand Graco or maybe gone with a Chico this time. I suggest trying a brand like that or maybe a car seat that converts to a stroller. Don’t let social media influence you only. Sometimes a basic travel system is all you need. I really wanted to like this system. But you live and you learn.

I really wanted to love this item! It’s so perfect! My only issue is the chemical smell!
