Quick Answer
The G5 Stroll & Ride Travel System includes the G5 stroller, the G5+ Infant Car Seat, and the components needed to switch between stroller and car modes. It's designed to grow with your child, and you can add the Helix+ attachment to make it a double.
Who Is This Travel System For?
This bundle is a strong fit if you want one cohesive system from birth through the toddler years. The included infant car seat handles babies from 4 to 30 pounds and up to 32 inches, so you won't need a separate infant seat for the first year or more.
The stroller itself is built on a lightweight aerospace-grade aluminum frame, which keeps the overall weight manageable even with the car seat attached. If you plan to have a second child close in age, the ability to convert to a double with the Helix+ attachment is a key advantage.
What's Not Included
The travel system does not include a second car seat base. If you have two vehicles, you'll need to purchase an extra base separately to avoid moving the base between cars.
The Helix+ attachment for converting to a double stroller is sold separately. Also, the newborn insert is not part of the bundle; it must be purchased separately if you want extra cushioning for very young infants.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the box?
The G5 Stroll & Ride Travel System includes the G5 stroller frame with seat, the G5+ Infant Car Seat, and the car seat adapter that lets you click the seat onto the stroller. The stroller seat rotates 360° and has three recline positions. Check the box contents list when it arrives so you know every piece is there before assembly.
Can I use the car seat without the base?
Yes. The G5+ Infant Car Seat is designed for off-base installation with European routing, which means you can secure it in a car using the seat belt without the base. This is handy for taxis, grandparents' cars, or travel. Practice the off-base install once at home so you're confident when you need it on the go.
How do I switch from stroller to car?
The car seat clicks out of the stroller frame and into the car base (or seat belt installation) without waking your baby. The stroller seat also rotates 360°, so you can face your child toward you or the world, and recline it to one of three positions for napping. Test the rotation and recline adjustments before your first outing to get comfortable with the mechanism.
Can this system become a double stroller?
Yes, with the Helix+ attachment, which is sold separately. This lets you convert the G5 into a double stroller, making it a long-term investment if you plan to have two children close in age. If a double is in your future, budget for the Helix+ attachment now so you're ready when the time comes.
Is the car seat suitable for newborns?
The G5+ Infant Car Seat is designed for infants from 4 pounds and 17 inches, so it can be used from birth. For extra support, you can purchase the newborn insert separately, which provides additional cushioning for smaller babies. If your baby is on the smaller side, consider adding the newborn insert to the car seat for a snugger fit.
