It's that time of year, everyone! The Holiday shopping season is upon us! (At least it is if you're like me and get an early start to avoid the mad rush of frazzled, last-minute shoppers in December!) 

For the 2018 Holiday season, I will be featuring tons of great gift ideas for babies, kids, men, women, pets, and even for the person who has everything. We all have some of those on our gift lists, don't we? There will even be loads and loads of chances to win many of the gifts I am featuring. How cool is that?! You can check out my 2018 Holiday Gift Guide at any time from now till Christmas. Make sure to check often, as it will be growing by the day! 

Today, I want to talk about ​babies! Well, babies and their new or expectant parents. See, babies require a lot of stuff. A LOT. There are so many choices for new parents from strollers to carseats to bassinets and more....

What if I told you that Safety 1st created an eco-friendly Travel System that offers you not one...not two...But SIX different ways to transport baby in safety and style. The Safety 1st RIVA 6-in-1 Flex Modular Travel System is an incredibly versatile travel system that offers parents tons of variety and convenience while offering baby ultimate comfort. As we know, a happy baby means happy Mom and Dad! 

The Safety 1st RIVA 6-in-1 FLEX Lightweight Travel System is perhaps the smartest way to travel with your baby. It comes complete with an incredibly lightweight stroller, and onBoard35 FLX Infant Car Seat and base.

Here are some of the RIVA 6-in-1 FLEX key features:
​
CAR SEAT FEATURES

• Give your child a better fit, from 4-35 pounds
• Rigorously crash and side-impact tested to exceed safety standards
• Side impact protection with deep side walls and energy absorbing foam
• Machine washable and dryer-safe seat pad
• Adjustable base for the right fit to your car
• LATCH equipped and airplane ready
• Ultra lightweight design, weighs only 7.5 lbs.
• QuickClick® connect for stroller allows you to securely attach the car seat to your stroller with one simple click

STROLLER FEATURES

• Never wake a sleeping baby with our innovative Smooth Recline for Downtime™ that easily pivots from riding stroller to a completely flat recline in carriage mode
• 6-in-1 flexibility of this premium travel system allows for forward- and parent-facing modes whether child is in car seat, stroller, or napping in the carriage
• Innovative American manufacturing of recycled materials makes this stroller incredibly lightweight
• The only easy-to-clean, zip off machine wash and dry stroller fabrics
• One hand, flexible, self-standing Lift-to-fold™ makes heading out with baby easier than ever
• Multi-position extended SPF 30 sun canopy, flip-flop friendly brakes, and a large storage basket
• 2 dual use parent cupholders/cell phone stands (dishwasher top rack safe)

With 6 modes of flexibility, it transitions easily from car, to stroller, and back to car, all without waking baby. Pretty genius, eh?

Where was this Travel System when my kiddos were babies?! I would have absolutely loved this, as will the lucky new mom I'll be donating this to. Ssssh! Don't tell anyone, it's kind of a surprise!

OUR THOUGHTS: 

We're definitely quite impressed with the Safety 1st RIVA 6-in-1 Flex Travel System. It's made in the USA from recycled materials, which automatically earns massive brownie points from this Mama. While it's made from recycled plastic, it's surprisingly lightweight and super durable. This will come in very handy when loading and unloading the stroller. 

This system is also really easy to assemble and switch up. There's very little guesswork involved and smooth transitions from position to position. We love the fact that, whether in the bassinet or car seat, baby can face Mom or Dad or face away to see the world around them. Multiple positions are great, and the RIVA Flex has them all covered! 

We also really like the storage space in the stroller, and the fact that the base is included for the carseat. This base makes transitioning from the stroller into the car super simple. Baby will sleep right through it, most likely! 

Baby spit up, like littles tend to do? No worries! The awesome folks at Safety 1st have thought of everything. The RIVA Flex is so easy to clean, and is has machine washable parts that are easy to remove for laundering. 

Overall, this is a fantastic travel system and I'd definitely recommend this to any new or expecting parents out there. It's well made, versatile, and offers so many convenient features for both parent and baby. It truly feels like one of those high dollar systems that shall remain nameless, but at a much friendlier price point. 

​Well done, Safety 1st!
