Lightweight and Durable
The frame of this stroller is made from aluminum thus making it very lightweight compared to other strollers, but is still durable as the aluminum bars are welded together.

Consoles for Parent and Child
If the child has a revolving tray for his or her food and drinks, the parent too has a tray for where to place drinking cups or keys. There is also a large-sized basket under the seat where baby supplies can be stored.

Ease of Use
With just one hand, the parent can easily fold this stroller prior to storage plus a latch to secure it.

Handle and Canopy
The handle bars may be adjusted as per baby’s height. The canopy is something like a peek-a-boo aid to take a look at the baby from time to time. This canopy is also useful in keeping away elements that may harm the baby.

Seat or Recline
The stroller can so be set up in whatever position for the baby’s comfort, either sitting down or reclining.

Lock-able Wheels
The wheels at the front may be locked and secured especially on a rough terrain. The tires are not ever to go flat as it is not filled with air

light yet has the essential stroller features
an effective system of tires that makes bumps to be smoothened
the stroller itself can be adjusted in three varying positions for seating and reclining the baby
trays are very useful for both parent and baby supplies.

Cons:

Some strollers were recalled due to latch malfunctioning that can make the stroller to collapse, Graco offered repair kits for strollers that have not functioned perfectly.

The only problem that we have with this stroller was the fact that there were units that were recalled. However, there has been a solution to that problem as Graco has brought in back up to make sure that all babies are safe and parents satisfied.

Graco LiteRider Stroller Review

peachy — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:17:02 +0000

Graco is considered as one of the most trusted names in baby products nowadays. From infant car seat to strollers, the brand is synonymous with good quality and charming designs.

One model that comes with comfort and style is the Graco LiteRider Stroller. Make this your baby’s ride and you’re sure in for a treat.

Graco LiteRider Stroller Specifications:

Product dimensions: 27 x 19.5 x 40 inches
Weight: 15.75 lbs
Weight capacity: up to 40 lbs
Features: one-hand fold, three-point harness
Available colors: tango and lively dots

Quality
Most parents agree that this stroller has a sturdy built. The frames are made from high-grade materials and supporting parts are from hard plastics.

As proof of its quality and durability, this model has the capacity to accommodate up to 40 lbs.

Safety
For parents, the safety of their children is of utmost importance. Free your mind from worries as this model has a three-point safety harness that keeps your baby snugly in place.

The harnesses are strategically placed not only to provide security but comfort as well. Front swivel wheels are designed with suspension technology that provides smooth rides for your baby.

An additional safety feature is front swivel locks.

Convenience
It’s the model’s one-hand fold that makes this stroller endearing. This is very useful especially when you need to keep everything in the car while in a rush.

Added conveniences are the baby snack tray in which you can attach Mix ‘n Move Toys for all day fun. Toys are not part of the package though.

Next is the parents’ snack tray with cup holder. This is very helpful because you can utilize it as a key holder aside from it being also a cup holder.

This model also includes a basket tray that is very useful in keeping things organized and a large canopy with a peek-a-boo window to make sure that the baby is always okay.

Clean Up
Keeping the stroller clean is the next important consideration. Good thing that this model has a removable seat cushion that is machine-wash friendly.

Cleaning the frame is also a breeze using only mild soap and water.

Concern
The stroller seat only takes on a straight position and a half-recline. It would be much better if it also goes into full recline for napping time and diaper change.

Pros:

Lightweight and compact
One-hand fold feature
With three-point safety harness
Convenient snack tray, parents’ cup holder, canopy and basket

Graco Quattro Travel System Review

may — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 18:41:21 +0000

The Graco Quattro Travel System is a baby stroller and an infant car seat in one. The style and design of the Graco Quattro makes it very popular with its huge basket, one-hand fold system and beautiful parent tray. But this baby travel system is really heavy at 50 pounds but is still a winner with its infant car seat.

Graco Quattro Travel System Features:

Stroller and car seat come together
Stroller: For infants and children up to 4 years and less than 50 lbs.
Car Seat: Rear facing for infants 5-30 lbs and less than 32″
Stroller has one hand gravity fold, an aluminum welded frame, a tuck away sun visor,
Front swivel wheels with locks and suspension.
Stroller has a combination 3 or 5 point harness
4-position flat reclining seat
One-touch brakes
Car seat has a 5 point harness, a 2-piece chest clip, removable infant head support and cold weather boot, and a stay-in-car adjustable base.

Graco Quattro Travel System is abundant in features and accessories. This is a full-sized travel system for babies. It has an aluminum frame. The multi-position reclining seat can be fully reclined for infants or for sleeping toddlers. A drop-down basket provides ample storage space even when the seat is reclined.

The sunshade of the Quattro rotates to cover every angle you prefer. The nice parent tray has, not one, but two cup holders. The baby tray also has a cup holder and it can be opened sideways to accommodate bigger toddlers easily.

What really make Graco Quattro Travel System a good choice are its SnugRide car seats that are easy to use and can install as easily in most cars or vehicles. Unlike Graco’s early travel system models, the Graco Quattro systems are front-adjust which makes it more user-friendly.

The infant car seat can also be attached to the stroller facing the rear. The stroller has a combination of the 5-point safety harness and the 3-point safety harness. The reclining seats have four positions that can adapt very closely to the position you desire for your child. It also has a one-touch brake for safety.

The Graco Quattro Travel System can be easily assembled with the help of its easy instruction booklet but when it comes to the infant car seat and autobase, it really requires a little of figuring out. The seats are very soft and well-padded giving extreme comfort for younger babies.

Most parents find the material of the Quattro travel system really comfortable to the touch. The only downside to the material is that it easily catches dirt. Don’t worry though, the covers can be removed and can be washed by hand or washing machine. The accessories make the whole package complete such as the rain cover, removable infant head support and cold weather boots.

The Graco Quattro has two versions, the regular version and the Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe. The deluxe system is even heavier than the regular version. It is just but one downside of these Graco travel systems. It’s so heavy that it feels like it was built only for dads.

Graco Quattro Travel System at a glance

Pros:

Huge basket
One-hand fold system
Soft material suited for younger babies
Decent car seat
Accessories are brilliant
Price is just right

Cons:

Bulky
Heavy
Easily gets dirty because of the material

It is a beautiful stroller alright with all the lovely accessories but it is just so heavy for most moms. Surveys also show that it easily gets damaged because of its weight and bulky features. Well, it’s built for travel so who would expect it to last long. I would prefer a lighter travel system stroller but overall, the Graco Quattro Travel System stroller is still a great buy.

Graco Metrolite Travel System Review

may — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 18:24:54 +0000

The Graco Metrolite Travel System is one popular baby stroller because of its combined safety and style. Most parents agree that it is more than a baby stroller but a convenient baby travel system ergonomically designed to give parents and babies the comfort they need whenever they travel together, anywhere and anytime.

Graco Metrolite Travel System Features:

Graco Metrolite Travel System includes the Graco MetroLite Stroller and the Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat
Lightweight aluminum frame on the Graco Metrolite Stroller
Combination 3 point/5 point harness
Pivoting child tray with cup holder
Top parent organizer tray with 2 cup holders

The Graco Metrolite Travel System is a full-size baby stroller that is extra light for its size. It is because it is designed with a lightweight aluminum frame –light but not that tough. It comes with two seats, the main seat and the SnugRide infant car seats which come with a front-adjust harness and a combination of 3-point and 5-point safety harnesses.

The stroller wheels are made of plastic. For extra smooth ride, the front swivel wheels have shocks and the swivels can be locked with the front buttons for straight steering. The Graco Metrolite Travel System baby stroller can be folded with one hand. It has a front swing-out tray, and a huge basket compartment that drops down.

The stroller handle is height-adjustable. The seats can be reclined fully for newborn babies. It also has a parent tray. Head supports are available in the stroller and in the infant car seat. Other full-sized travel system strollers are really heavy averaging 25 pounds, while the weight of the Graco Metrolite is only 17 pounds, making the Graco Metrolite a winner in the weight category.

The Graco Metrolite Travel System baby stroller is easy to maneuver but steering becomes difficult when pushing through bumpy rough sidewalks. It is not an all-terrain stroller and using it like it is will easily damage the stroller. The rear foot brake is also convenient for parents and assured the safety of babies.

What’s really neat is that the infant car seat snaps perfectly into the stroller and has extra clips on the back bars that hold the infant car seat in place and that is an extra safety measure I really like with this travel stroller. It is amazingly light and it is one of the features that made this baby stroller a huge hit to users.

It also has the innovative easy to use SnugRide series baby car seat. Its lightweight features and nice steering handle make the Graco Metrolite Travel System one of the easiest baby strollers to maneuver. If you are looking for a full-size stroller with the travel system feature that is not heavy or bulky, the Graco Metrolite Travel System is just perfect for you and your baby

Graco Metrolite Travel System at a glance

Pros:

Very light, extra light!
Easy setup
Durable
Easy storage
Infant car seat is nice, fits perfectly into the stroller

Cons:

Difficult basket
The front wheels lock by itself on rougher terrain
Aluminum frame not so tough

If you want your baby to travel in style, buy the Graco Metrolite Travel System baby stroller but remember that the stroller is only made for smooth terrain. Its elegance call for a more elegant environment too, I mean like smooth sidewalks, indoor stroll in the mall and similar places. The weight is definitely a winner –full-size travel system stroller at 17 pounds? It’s simply amazing. This stroller is perfect for parents with babies who travel frequently.

Can use Graco infant seats in both positions.
Three- and five-point safety harnesses.

Graco prides itself with the sleek and stylish design of this duo stroller. A Graco infant car seat easily snaps in place into the rear seat.

Younger toddlers or newborns are situated on the rear end of the stroller so parents can easily see how the infant is doing during a stroll in a mall or park. The older child or toddler, of course is seated on the front end of the stroller. This makes the Quattro Tour Duo Stroller unique as well.

The Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller has convenient features for both parent and child that include a spacious storage space and another extra storage under the front seat. The only drawback is that there is no front tray for the front seat that could also serve as protection for the toddler seating on the front seat.

The handles are ergonomically designed and parents love the handles. Although the Graco Quattro Tour is kinda bulky, it becomes surprisingly compact when folded. Users also confirmed that folding the stroller is easy.

The Quattro Tour Duo Stroller has a flexible infant-comfy seating that is difficult to find from other strollers. The two seats are not positioned side by side but one seat is situated on the front of the other seat. The seats are compatible with infant car seats and the rear seat can be fully reclined for sleeping toddlers or infants. On top of that, the higher rear seat can be positioned towards the rear facing the parent pushing the stroller.

The Tour Duo Stroller has been proven to be very durable. Besides, Graco is well-known for designing durable and innovative strollers. Both parent and child will surely enjoy every bit of experience with this duo stroller and its durability guarantees parents that it will last for many years. Why not? The Quattro Tour was designed and built to last.

One cool feature of this stroller is that it has two options in maneuvering it, use its normal handle bar or use its extended grips. The swivel wheels and foot break add easier control of the stroller. For safety, it has 3-point and 5-point combination harnesses but a little difficult to adjust. Canopies for both seats add safety and protection for children.

For you to make the most of the stroll, the unit sees to it that you’ll have no trouble in keeping all the baby essentials like milk, feeding bottles, extra clothes and even toys. Have them all within your reach with the roomy underseat compartment. Snack time should not be a problem too as this comes with parent cup tray where you can put your water or soda bottles.

Parents tend to do two chores at a time. And with that, worry no more as this unit has one-hand handling features that make folding and keeping a breeze. The impressive gravity hold made this possible and is supported well by storage latch that makes keeping easy.
