Overall, editors and users like the Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe full-featured stroller for its sturdy and safe feel, smooth ride, ample storage and hard-to-find features, such as a basket that can be accessed even when the seat is reclined. However, there are a number of complaints about its relatively heavy 26-pound frame, and many parents say this stroller is quite large when folded. Some reviewers say you're better off with a more maneuverable stroller like the Inglesina Zippy (*Est. $350). Still, if you'd rather not spend that much, most reviews say the Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe is an inexpensive stroller that is well suited for newborns because it has a fully reclining seat. The updated Graco Quattro Tour Sport (*Est. $170) weighs the same, but it gets better scores for maneuverability and ease of use.

The best comparison review we found for the Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe stroller is at ConsumerReports.org, where editors test and rate it as part of their latest round of stroller testing. Cookie magazine bases its ratings on parent feedback rather than on independent testing, but we appreciate the accompanying balanced write-ups. Testing at Celebrity Baby Blog is informal, but its coverage of the Quattro Tour Deluxe is complete and balanced. We also found some good information in "Baby Bargains," a book focused on buying advice for parents. In addition to these excellent reviews, we found some useful parent-written reviews at Amazon.com.
