Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe

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.
