The book Baby Bargains covers the Graco MetroLite stroller along with Graco's other offerings. We also found good reviews of the Graco MetroLite Travel System or stroller at five online sources, including user ratings at ToysRUs.com and Amazon.com.

The Graco MetroLite Travel System teams the highly rated Graco SnugRide infant car seat with the MetroLite stroller. Besides performing well in safety tests, this travel system offers a height-adjustable handle, a multi-position recline, and a convertible three- or five-point harness. Although the MetroLite is designed to fold with one hand, some parents complain that folding it can be tricky. If you are set on the coordinated look of a travel system, the Graco MetroLite is the reigning favorite. But reviewers suggest using a stroller frame and then purchasing a stroller later on when your child outgrows the car seat. The top-rated Baby Trend Snap-N-Go stroller frame (*est. $65) is compatible with most infant car seat brands.
