Reviews of the 10-pound Graco Ipo are good overall. Professional reviewers as well as parents give this stroller high marks for maneuverability. However, we found comments from several parents that the seat back isn't very sturdy and that it can collapse easily into a lower seating position. Parents and experts do praise its tall handle, sun canopy, all-wheel suspension and one-hand fold. They like that it accommodates children up to 50 pounds. Graco calls the Ipo a toddler stroller: intended for kids who are old enough to sit down by themselves. Another good choice in this price range is the Maclaren Volo (*Est. $125), a parent favorite which can handle children up to 55 pounds.
The Graco Ipo umbrella stroller is included in a roundup review at ConsumerReports.org. The Ipo is also the subject of a blurb from ConsumerGuide.com that (despite claims of testing) reads like it was taken from a press kit. More revealingly, parents have posted their experiences with this recent addition to the Graco line on sites such as Car-Seat.org and Amazon.com.

A mom reports her experience with the Graco Ipo on a trip to Busch Gardens with her 39-pound 3-year-old. She likes its tall handle, sun canopy and easy folding, but notes that it's larger and heavier than a regular umbrella stroller (though it still "feels" compact and is easy to push).
Review: Graco Ipo Review, "trailrunnermom", June 8, 2007
ConsumerGuide.com claims to have tested the Graco Ipo, but once again, this review reads like a marketing blurb. The writer praises this stroller's all-wheel suspension, one-hand fold and combination three- or five-point harness, but warns that it's meant for children who have learned how to sit down on their own.

Scores of parents review the Graco Ipo stroller here. Reviews are very good overall, but several comment that the seat, when in a fully upright position, collapses easily into a lower position, sometimes when the child is getting into the stroller.
