Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller, Ionic

0 comments

The stroller came with snags in the green fabric. The green fabric is like a satin material. It isn't a material that a stroller should be made out of. We returned it for the zurich pattern, which is made with a better quality material, one more suitable for a stroller. Buy Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller, Ionic!

Graco LiteRider Stroller in Tango in the Tongo

0 comments

After doing a lot of research to find an affordable, lightweight stroller with the "perks" of a bigger stroller, we bought this stroller and are very happy with our choice. It folds up very nicely and I love that it reclines allowing our 13 month old to nap if he wants. The basket is huge and I love that you can still get to your diaper bag even when the seat is reclined. I definitely recommend this stroller! It's GREAT! :)Buy Graco LiteRider Stroller in Tango in the Tongo!

Graco Safe Seat Infant Car Seat, Ionic

0 comments

We just recieved our Graco SafeSeat in the Rittenhouse pattern. Just thought I'd add two specific comments directed toward those shopping on-line.

1. We bought from Amazon partially because of the really great price (it seems to vary every few days, so keep watching) and the free shipping. Supposedly it was going to take longer for the free shipping-- 3-5 days for order processing and 7-10 for shipping. I placed the order on the evening of 3/25 and it arrived 3/28. Now that's fast!!

2. If you are a first time parent you may not be aware that car seats have manufacture dates. It is virtually impossible to find out the manufacture date from customer service agents (I tried lots of different websites), as the phone operators have no acess to the acutal product that's being shipped. It is on the outside of the individual box or stamped on the underside of your carseat if you're looking in the store. Lots of horror stories out there of online purchased car seats that were manufactured 3 years or more prior. Usually its not too big a deal, as most are thought to be safe 5-6 years after their "manufacture date". But if you are specfically looking for a manufacture date to ensure it is compatible with your stroller system or plan to use it again for another child later.. it may be more important to you. The Graco Rittenhouse we bought on 3/25/09 was manufactured on 12/23/08. Yea! Good work amazon! We're happy with our online purchase.Buy Graco Safe Seat Infant Car Seat, Ionic!

I PURCHASES METROLITE TRAVEL SYSTEM - ISBELLA IN 8/08, NOT SATIFISY WITH THE CARSEAT. MY DAUGHTER IS KNOW 4 MONTHS AND WEIGHS 16 LBS, THE STRIPS ARE HARD TO ADJUST AND THE RED LEVER IN THE BACK WILL NOT LET YOU ADJUST THE STRIPS WHEN YOUR BABY IS IN THE SEAT. WE HAVE THE STRIPS PULLED TO THE MAX AND STILL IS TO TIGHT FOR MY 4 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER. IT IS NOT THE THE 3 POINT HARNESS WHERE YOU CAN ADJUST THE STRIPS ONE AT A TIME. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT BEFORE YOU PURCHASE, NOT SATIFISIED, WISH I COULD RETURN FOR BETTER. CUTE AND PRETTY BUT NOT SATIFISIED WITH PRODUCT. Buy Graco MetroLite Travel System in Wesley!

Graco Quattro Tour Sport Travel System in Boone

0 comments

We just received this Graco Quattro Tour Sport stroller/car seat combo yesterday.

1. In the picture it looks like the color is gray with cherry red accents. The color is NOT RED, it's actually a coppery-orange color.
2. When folded up, the stroller does not stand by itself upright, which many strollers these days do.

For me #2 was not a big enough deal to return the item, but I am a little disappointed.Buy Graco Quattro Tour Sport Travel System in Boone!

Graco Quattro Tour Travel System with SnugRide in Marlowe

My wife and I recently had our first child. As her due date approached (Nov 7, 2008) we started shopping around for all the necessary products, including strollers and car seats. Once we settled on getting a travel system (based on various recommendations from friends), we shopped around at local stores for the right one.

We had always heard good things about the Graco name, so we compared the various Graco systems with the more expensive Eddie Bauer versions. This Graco system was clearly lighter than others, but it did not appear to sacrifice quality and durability. So, we settled on Graco.

Well, on October 9 (4 weeks early) my daughter was ready to be born, so I immediately ordered this travel system from Amazon (on my iPhone). We have been using it faithfully since we brought our daughter home a few days later.

The car seat is very well constructed and I feel comfortable that my baby is safe. The stroller is very maneuverable and the rubber wheels roll smoothly on asphalt and concrete. The system is kind of heavy and bulky with the baby in it, but I think that drawback is clearly offset by the convenience of an all-in-one system that will grow with your child and being able to keep your baby in the infant seat when you take him/her out of car.

In general, we are extremely satisfied with this product, and will continue using it when we have our next child.Buy Graco Quattro Tour Travel System with SnugRide in Marlowe!

Graco MetroLite Stroller, Mondo

This is the absolute best stroller that I have ever used (and we have used a lot). Compared to our other heavy, bulky Peg Perego Venezia, this stroller is a dream. It is easy to assemble out of the box and ready to use. It is so simple to open and close and the latch keeps it closed so it can even stand up on the floor while closed. It is light and fits easily into the trunk of our small sedan. I couldn't fit an entire load of groceries in the trunk while the stroller is in there....but why would I bring the stroller to the grocery store?! It is narrow, and easy to pick up with one hand. The large, rubber, puncture proof wheels are awesome - we have walked through mud, and puddles and all over the place with no problems. It is like pushing nothing at all - totally effortless. The basket is large, the cups are great. It has 3 reclining positions which is very useful for an on the go nap, or diaper change. The 5 point harness is useful and actually works, unlike the Peg Perego Aria which slips out easily.

Overall, this stroller is a must. We use it every day, for walking outside (several miles a day) and at the mall, and the beach, etc. If you have been dissatisfied with other strollers, this is the one to get.Buy Graco MetroLite Stroller, Mondo!

Graco SnugRide Adjustable Base - Tan

0 comments

We went with the Graco Snugride because it received good safety ratings and fit our budget. Our newborn son fit nicely in it and seemed secure - the first few times. After the first couple of months I started to notice some definite drawbacks:
1) It is NOT particularly lightweight, and even though my son was a smaller baby, it still got really heavy really fast. After about 3mos. I refused to use it anymore. We put it in hubby's car and I put the convertible seat in mine.
2) The straps adjust from behind, and they are the kind that need to be threaded individually. So, if the season changes (or you just live in a variable region like we do) you'll find yourself fighting with it every time your child wears anything heavier than a onesie. THEN you have to re-thread again on the next warm (lighter clothes) day. And trust me - trying to adjust those things when you're in a hurry to be somewhere will frazzle your nerves in no time!
3) The handle was not very steady. What I mean is, these seats are pushed and pulled constantly, usually at a sideways angle in and out of the car or at your hip. I found that after just a few trips, the handle felt loose and would rock a little from side to side, and even back & forth slightly when supposedly locked in place.
4) Last thing, but definitely my biggest concern. The anchor strap slips! You don't notice it the first few times, and you probably won't ever notice it unless you ride in the back seat or test it occasionally. Because it was in my husband's car, we didn't notice it at first. Then I rode back there one day and found that the base was sliding like crazy - the BASE! The strap (it was the LATCH strap) had gradually gotten looser and looser, even though we used a towel to even out the seat (as recommended) and pulled the strap as tight as humanly possible. We fixed it, then found that several weeks later it was loose again!
I would accept that the loose strap thing was a fluke of this particular seat (since I've never heard anybody else complain of it), but taken as a whole we will NOT be using this seat again. Go with Britax or Chicco!Buy Graco SnugRide Adjustable Base - Tan!

Graco SnugRide 32 Infant Car Seat in Zurich

0 comments

I ordered this carseat for my baby when I was expecting because it just seemed the smart thing to do with babies coming into this world at 8+ lbs and 19"+ long! Well our little boy came into this world weighing 7.06 lbs and measuring 20" long! Most rear facing carseats only go up to 22 lbs and 22" long, so this was definitely a wise choice. He's only 13 days old and we have used the carseat on 3 occassions and so far so good! It's spacious enough so that he doesn't feel cramped or confined once buckled in. The downfall to that is that his head bobs a bit too much for me because the infant insert is still a little too big. We purchased an additional head support piece (not Graco) to resolve this issue. It works well... He was awake when he was placed in it the second time and he cried a bit but calmed down after he was all tucked in. The other times he was asleep and remained sleeping... The carrier is easy enough to remove from the base which is a huge plus. The colors are rich looking with a baby feel (the green), and can work for either boy or girl (I didn't know what I was having when I ordered it)...The straps are easy enough to adjust once you read the instructions. To date the carrier is not too heavy, but that may change once he puts on some pounds... Overall I love this carseat so far... If that changes I'll add to this later on.Buy Graco SnugRide 32 Infant Car Seat in Zurich!

I bought the SnugGlider as a baby shower gift and it arrived very promptly from Right Start. I was then contacted by the recipient of the gift and told that the motor did not work. I contacted Right Start who confirmed that they would exchange the item and sent me a UPS label for return of the item. When the family went to return the item for exchange, they discovered from Right Start that 2 days after my enquiry they went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The customer service representative was very polite and apologetic, but confirmed that there was no way to exchange the item and no possibility of a refund. Please don't buy from Right Start if it appears by chance as a vendor on Amazon.Buy Graco SnugGlider Swing holds SnugRide Infant Car Seat!

Graco Quattro Tour Travel System with SnugRide, Marlowe

We purchased this stroller system (in a different color) in 2006. I still love it. The frame is solid, the wheels big and turn easy, folds great and quick set up, not that heavy, and the snugride car seat is a breeze to click in and out. I love the huge basket bellow, and it drops down to make it easy to get things out when stroller seat is reclined or you have the car seat clicked in. It is a bit stiff at first and hard to drop...but the more you use it the easier it gets. And if you live some place that gets freezing temps (we live in Alaska) the plastic viewing window in the canopy can freeze and crack if left outside in the car too long (like overnight). Otherwise this stroller has taken a beating with the extreme temps and done great. Compared to other strollers it is a bit heavy, but that is because of the solid construction. I am 5 foot and do just fine with it. This thing has gone through grass, sand, gravel, dirt, ice, snow, North Carolina heat, and Alaskan winters. Now, it isn't a jog-runner with those cool go anywhere wheels...but this thing can hold its own just fine. We have a Honda Odyssey mini van and it fits just fine in the "trunk" with all 3 rows up with room left over for groceries. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Plus, the car seat is awesome. It clicks in and out of the base to stroller in a flash. Easy to install, easy to clean and has a great safety record. We purchased a second snugride car seat and the quattro tour duo stroller when we had our twins (they are now 5 months old). Buy Graco Quattro Tour Travel System with SnugRide, Marlowe!

Ordered extra base for hubbie, but after doing so, not really needed. The infant car seat can be used without the base as well, so the extra expense was unecessary; however, it is much easier.Buy Graco SnugRide 32 Base in Silver!
