Where to Buy
 

Overall, reviews of the Graco Glider travel system are mixed. Although it's lighter than most travel systems, some reviewers say it's bulky when folded and takes up considerable space in a trunk. Parents say the Glider is affordable, and many say the quality is great for the price. The Graco Glider includes a Graco infant car seat, which attaches easily to both the stroller and the included car seat base. Owners appreciate the parent and child trays and the roomy storage basket and many report that it's spacious enough to store a large diaper bag and other accessories. The seat reclines to only two positions, and the handle isn't adjustable, although we found few complaints about these issues. The primary downsides mentioned in reviews are the large folded size of the Glider and a humming sound that the wheels make.

There is one detailed product review on StrollerIQ.com, and owner feedback from Amazon.com, Walmart.com and MySears.com that help us round out the overall opinion on the Graco Glider.
