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

Pros:

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

Cons:

Difficult basket

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.
