Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe

I have a love/hate relationship with this thing. Pro's: big and comfy, lots of reclining positions, shades are perfect for baby, great for mall, lots of storage, big basket that's easy to get into,… sturdy. Simple to set up and build. Con's: Wide, rough steering, heavy, takes up A LOT of trunk space, bad for any aisle except a grocery aisle! In the end I regret my purchase on this stroller. I would have rather went with Chicco and now that I bought the Graco Frame my pocket book is really burning. I absolutely love the frame compared to this bulk of a stroller.

I ordered this after doing A LOT of research of my own on travel systems. I found the price at Amazon to be much cheaper than anywhere else that I looked, which included Target, Babies R Us, and Walmart. I… haven't actually used the system yet since my baby hasn't arrived yet (which is why I gave it four stars instead of five). I love the design as well as the material. The stroller is a bit big for our trunk but that's a downside to getting a travel system. Can't wait to use it with our little one!

This system definitely has it's pluses. It is stylish, includes both the car seat and stroller, and is a smooth riding stroller that appears to be very comfortable for baby. Not so much for mom though.… It is very heavy and bulky. It took up almost the entire trunk of my car, and was very heavy and cumbersome to remove from the trunk, especially with your hands full with baby or diaper bag. If you are looking for a stroller to take out for walks, and leave at home, this is probably a great option for you. If you are out and about a lot, or are planning to use this for things such a shopping, or going to other places with limited space, this is not the stroller for you. While going to the mall, it was almost impossible to maneuver this between clothes racks. I ended up passing this stroller along to my pregnant sister who was not even able to lift it out of the trunk herself. I ended up buying the Graco Mosaic stroller which I love. It is very compact, folder very easily, can be lifted one handed, and does allow for a carseat to be clipped in. The Travel System was good for me for a month or two, but save your money, and definitely try out some other strollers.

We searched online for good travel system using reviews, then went and checked out the best rated models in store. I wish there would be more different colors of same model, but unfortunately if color is… different then the fabric quality is different as well, so we went for for townsend, which we liked the best. The assembly was fast and easy. Note this travel system comes with the base for the car seat as well. The car seat is very good, 'cause you don't need to adjust the belts on the back on the seat (as with some car seats) every time you put your child in it, you just pull the belt in front and that is it. 360grad radius of canopy on the stroller is very nice and sturdy. Cup holders is a very nice touch as well. The stroller is a bit bid though, it is not the best size stroller to go shopping with the baby. Over all I'd recommend this TS to everyone, check it out in stores (Burlington, Babysrus) and get it if you like it, it is a good choice for the money.
