Graco Safe Seat Infant Car Seat, Ionic

This is a beautiful carseat. I purchased the Graco Safe Seat in the portica line. I absolutely loved the base, the fabric, the sturdiness of the seat, BUT WHERE IS THE SLACK?????
The only reason that I purchased this seat is my son has almost outgrown his Graco Snugride (the snugride is only rated until 22 lbs and 29 in). I wanted a carseat that would still work with my stroller and that I didn't have to take my sleeping son out of everytime we went somewhere. I had read reviews that this seat was heavier than the snugride, but I really expected that. What I didn't expect is that I can barely fit my 20 pound 27 3/4 inch baby into this safeseat that is supposed to fit a child up to 30 pounds and 32 inches!
We followed the instructions for loosening the belt, the belt was only on the center (not even the top) and it is still TOO TIGHT! I can barely get my son in there (and it is summer so he doesn't even have layers of clothing on!). There is no way that we could use this seat with the belt on the top setting!
We switched back to our snugride (which he can still use because he is only 20 pounds and 27 3/4 inches-plenty of slack). I contacted Graco, they did not have a "fix" for this issue. They are going to send me a shipping label and I will return this seat to them for a refund.
Save your money! It is not worth buying this seat. It is heavier than a snugride, more money, and you won't be able to use it any longer than a snugride because of the seatbelt issue (NO SLACK).

Overall: VERY DISAPPOINTED! Seat is being returned to Graco.Buy Graco Safe Seat Infant Car Seat, Ionic!

Graco Mosaic Stroller in Ionic

****The Graco Mosaic Stroller in Ionic, is really a great stroller! I am 6' tall and my husband 6'4" and the handles are the perfect height for us. My mom who is 5'4" loved the position of the handles too, very comfortable! I also just flew for the first time with my 8 week old daughter and we brought the stroller, it was perfect. Light weight, folds up neatly, and you can collapse it with one hand (other hand holding the baby!) It was easy to put together when it arrived (5 minutes and done). The color is great too, I have the matching car seat and it fits in nicely onto the stroller (its very secure). I recommend this stroller to anyone who is searching for one. I researched a lot of strollers and carseats and found this set to be wonderful!!! ****Buy Graco Mosaic Stroller in Ionic!

Graco SnugRide 32 Infant Car Seat in Zurich

I ordered this carseat for my baby when I was expecting because it just seemed the smart thing to do with babies coming into this world at 8+ lbs and 19"+ long! Well our little boy came into this world weighing 7.06 lbs and measuring 20" long! Most rear facing carseats only go up to 22 lbs and 22" long, so this was definitely a wise choice. He's only 13 days old and we have used the carseat on 3 occassions and so far so good! It's spacious enough so that he doesn't feel cramped or confined once buckled in. The downfall to that is that his head bobs a bit too much for me because the infant insert is still a little too big. We purchased an additional head support piece (not Graco) to resolve this issue. It works well... He was awake when he was placed in it the second time and he cried a bit but calmed down after he was all tucked in. The other times he was asleep and remained sleeping... The carrier is easy enough to remove from the base which is a huge plus. The colors are rich looking with a baby feel (the green), and can work for either boy or girl (I didn't know what I was having when I ordered it)...The straps are easy enough to adjust once you read the instructions. To date the carrier is not too heavy, but that may change once he puts on some pounds... Overall I love this carseat so far... If that changes I'll add to this later on.Buy Graco SnugRide 32 Infant Car Seat in Zurich!

Graco Silhouette Pack 'n Play Playard with Bassinet & Changer, Townsend

It does everything a hi-tech pack 'n play should. It sings, chirps, vibrates, has a changing table, night light, bassinet AND it comes in a great fabric. I found the Graco pack 'n play much easier to set up and take down compared to the Chicco.

Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller - Metropolitan

I've been using this stroller for a year. After doing a lot of research I chose this stroller because of the ability to recline both seats and the large basket on the bottom. The cup holders for everyone is great!

When I bought this my older daughter was 21 months and my newborn was 1 month. Now the older one is almost 3 and the younger one is 14 months. They both seem to love riding in this stroller. They switch seats all the time. I didn't notice too much of a difference in steering one way or another. This thing is a beast to steer.

I was disappointed that the front wheels started to squeak almost right away. It took about half a year for it to finally stop doing that. The lever to lower the basket doesn't always work. You have to jiggle it a few times.

I was hesitant to get rid of this stroller because I love the basket and the cup holders. Ultimately, after trying my friend's Bob Duallie, I made the switch. Even though the Duallie is wider because it's side by side I can get through a lot more spaces than this stroller because it maneuvers a lot better. And even though the strollers may weigh about the same the Duallie feels 10 times lighter because it maneuvers so much better. Yes...the Bob Duallie costs a lot more but it really holds up its resell value.Buy Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller - Metropolitan!

Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller - Gianni

I received this as a gift when I was pregnant with my 2nd. I have a 2 year old and an infant now. I have to agree with the other review - it can be very difficult to set this stroller up. It is heavy and you have to have a system in place to get it in and out of the car. I have to line it up parallel with my minivan trunk and then lift it up and put it in the same parallel position. It can be very difficult to manuever once you have lifted it into the trunk. It just barely fits sideways in my trunk. Same story here with getting my infant into the rear seat. You have to always recline the back seat first which was tricky at first but now I am used to it. Then you have to tip the infant seat in a weird way to get it to lock into the seat. The front wheels lock in a straight position each time and the back brake goes on each time you fold it up. I'm used to all those weird features now.

BROKEN HANDLES - we just flew to FL last week and the stroller didn't make it through the gate check in process without breaking. BOTH handles broke off completely when they gave me my stroller back at the gate. I'm about to start my research on how I get replacement handles - I'll be sure to edit my review based on what I hear back from Graco.

I did a lot of research before suggesting this stroller and it does get great reviews. I'm not sure what went wrong here...Buy Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller - Gianni!

Graco Quattro Tour Sport Stroller - Gianni

I researched strollers quite a bit for our second child and was torn between this one (the Quattro Tour Sport) and the Quattro Tour Deluxe. I have to say that I wish I would have bought the Deluxe rather than this one. I ended up buying this one on eBay and saving about $35.00 on the stroller compared to the Deluxe I wanted and also because this stroller was just recently rated #1 on Consumer Reports. That's the main reason I bought it. The blue is beautiful! I like it because it's different and I haven't seen anybody else with this stroller. I like the sleek design, but now realize that as my son grows the foot rest might be too small for him. The Deluxe had a foot rest all the way across. The stroller is sturdy and the fabric is really nice. I am disappointed because the basket is not as big as the Deluxe stroller. It's smaller than I thought and just fits a large diaper bag. The stroller rides very smooth on flat even surfaces, but when I walked on a bumpy path it didn't take the shock too well, and the wheels in front kept wobbling back and forth really bad, which produced a very bumpy ride. Also, the stroller I got sways back and forth when it's pushed on a smooth surface - almost like the wheels are crooked. This is rather annoying when pushing the stroller, but I guess it could be helpful to "rock" my son to sleep while pushing him. Unfortunately, there were no returns accepted from the eBay store I bought this from so that was out. I wasn't able to "test" this stroller out in a store because, as far as I know, nobody has demo models yet. The Deluxe I was able to test out at our Toys R Us in town. Anyway, now, I wish I would have bought the Deluxe. I do like the fact that it has a heavier weight limit, and it fits our Graco Snugride seat.Buy Graco Quattro Tour Sport Stroller - Gianni!

Graco Quattro Tour Stroller in Portica

This stroller offers many features including dual cup holders for mom and dad, adjustable seat, storage underneath, and one hand folding. The ride is nice and smooth for baby. The ONLY negative I have on this is that even folded, it is huge. Do not buy this stroller if you have a compact car. I have a mid size sedan and a compact. It JUST fits in the mid-size but is a no go on the Corolla.

Otherwise, this is a great stroller and I would recommend it to anyone.Buy Graco Quattro Tour Stroller in Portica!

Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System with SafeSeat in Imperial

I almost did not buy a travel system because I was looking at a more versatile carseat, but my friends who have children talked me into buying this, and I am so glad they did. My son loves his carseat, he falls asleep in it all the time and I have never had a problem with his head getting cranked to the side like I have seen with some other carseats when the baby falls asleep. He has fit into it just fine, from coming home from the hospital to now, and he is almost 4 months and 16 lbs. It is a little heavy at first, but you get used to it once you get your buff "mom arms." The stroller is solid and had lots of little comparments to put your stuff in, like a sunglasses holder and we use the cup holders everytime. Underneath there is plenty of room for the diaper bag as well as shopping bags. The seat snaps right into the stroller and I honestly don't know what people who say it is not secure are talking about. This has been one of the best purchases I have made, and we couldn't be more happy with it!Buy Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System with SafeSeat in Imperial!

Graco Quattro Tour Travel System with SnugRide in Marlowe

My wife and I recently had our first child. As her due date approached (Nov 7, 2008) we started shopping around for all the necessary products, including strollers and car seats. Once we settled on getting a travel system (based on various recommendations from friends), we shopped around at local stores for the right one.

We had always heard good things about the Graco name, so we compared the various Graco systems with the more expensive Eddie Bauer versions. This Graco system was clearly lighter than others, but it did not appear to sacrifice quality and durability. So, we settled on Graco.

Well, on October 9 (4 weeks early) my daughter was ready to be born, so I immediately ordered this travel system from Amazon (on my iPhone). We have been using it faithfully since we brought our daughter home a few days later.

The car seat is very well constructed and I feel comfortable that my baby is safe. The stroller is very maneuverable and the rubber wheels roll smoothly on asphalt and concrete. The system is kind of heavy and bulky with the baby in it, but I think that drawback is clearly offset by the convenience of an all-in-one system that will grow with your child and being able to keep your baby in the infant seat when you take him/her out of car.

In general, we are extremely satisfied with this product, and will continue using it when we have our next child.Buy Graco Quattro Tour Travel System with SnugRide in Marlowe!

Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller, Soho

The stroller came with snags in the green fabric. The green fabric is like a satin material. It isn't a material that a stroller should be made out of. We returned it for the zurich pattern, which is made with a better quality material, one more suitable for a stroller. Buy Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller, Soho!

Graco Quattro Tour Travel System with SnugRide, Marlowe 2009

We purchased this stroller system (in a different color) in 2006. I still love it. The frame is solid, the wheels big and turn easy, folds great and quick set up, not that heavy, and the snugride car seat is a breeze to click in and out. I love the huge basket bellow, and it drops down to make it easy to get things out when stroller seat is reclined or you have the car seat clicked in. It is a bit stiff at first and hard to drop...but the more you use it the easier it gets. And if you live some place that gets freezing temps (we live in Alaska) the plastic viewing window in the canopy can freeze and crack if left outside in the car too long (like overnight). Otherwise this stroller has taken a beating with the extreme temps and done great. Compared to other strollers it is a bit heavy, but that is because of the solid construction. I am 5 foot and do just fine with it. This thing has gone through grass, sand, gravel, dirt, ice, snow, North Carolina heat, and Alaskan winters. Now, it isn't a jog-runner with those cool go anywhere wheels...but this thing can hold its own just fine. We have a Honda Odyssey mini van and it fits just fine in the "trunk" with all 3 rows up with room left over for groceries. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Plus, the car seat is awesome. It clicks in and out of the base to stroller in a flash. Easy to install, easy to clean and has a great safety record. We purchased a second snugride car seat and the quattro tour duo stroller when we had our twins (they are now 5 months old). Buy Graco Quattro Tour Travel System with SnugRide, Marlowe 2009!

Beautiful but horribly heavy. This 'sport' version weighed more than our carriage stroller! I am happier with our Chicco! Buy Graco Quattro Tour Sport Stroller in Soho!

Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System in Townsend

I love this travel system! My husband picked out the colors, and I wasnt sure at first but when it arrived, i fell in love. I love the material and its very easy to assemble. Not sure what the other review was referring to but this is brown and turquoise...very lovely! Turns very easily and the push bar is high enough that we dont have to slouch (I am 5'9" and my husband is 6'0). That is a first for us! Overall, very impressed with this item...Buy Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System in Townsend!

Graco Quattro Tour Sport Travel System in Boone

We just received this Graco Quattro Tour Sport stroller/car seat combo yesterday.

1. In the picture it looks like the color is gray with cherry red accents. The color is NOT RED, it's actually a coppery-orange color.
2. When folded up, the stroller does not stand by itself upright, which many strollers these days do.

For me #2 was not a big enough deal to return the item, but I am a little disappointed.Buy Graco Quattro Tour Sport Travel System in Boone!

Great stroller. Easy to fold, and handle. A tight squeeze to get into my small trunk, have to push and shove a bit.
Love the parent cup holders, and storage for sunglasses, and compartments for kids cup and snacks!
