Graco Quattro Tour Reverse Travel System Stroller - Capri

My husband is an engineer and it drives me crazy that he spends a lot of time in the store testing out items for our son. In this case, I learned the importance of it. The travel system that I had on the registry did not hold up to his test. He checks the handles and where the pressure points are on the stroller. He also tests out locking mechanisms and ease of use. We came down to 2 different systems. Both were Graco. We chose this one because it allowed a preemie baby to use the car seat. The hospital put him under a car seat test that monitored his oxygen and other levels. He was born preemie and the hospital was very impressed. If he didn't pass the car seat test we would have been forced to purchase another car seat. I would highly recommend this product. It is also recommended that you keep the baby in this car seat until he/she reaches the maximum height and weight restrictions.

For all those who have had "storage basket" complaints, if you bend down and squeeze the thin metal bar underneath the plastic piece on the storage basket it will come down for easier access. You can fit plenty in there no problem. It took me a moment to figure it out but I believe it's also in the "directions" for the stroller as well.

That being said, I've used this stroller for the last 18 months and love it. It's a bit bulky but I used it all the time from the click-in car seat days to toddler years. My daughter also seems very comfortable in it as well.

Friend who had this same stroller stated that there was no room underneath to put diaper bag, shopping bags, purse... Just ordered what the kids wanted off their registry. Not here to judge the product.

Love the system and I trust Graco one of the major complaints I have is the storage! Can't even fit my purse in the under basket. It is heavy and bulky which pretty much all travel systems are the brakes sometimes give me a little trouble unlocking. The material is soft and easy o clean and baby is snug and comfy

Overall I like this product. I would say the one downfall about the stroller is the bottom carrying compartment. Since the seat can flip there is a stationary foot rest that doesn't lift up. So you have to really work to get anything that is of a larger size in the bottom basket.
Have not had any problems with the make of either pieces. Although the seat is heavy when the baby is in it I was never worried for his safety. The hospital said the seat was very sturdy and good.

I would buy this product again. I just wish the carseat was also compatible in the jogging strollers from Graco or other companies.

I really like this travel system but the stroller is pretty bulky and heavy. Other than that, I have no complaints about this purchase! Looks and handles great!

Initally, we loved this product. But, by 9 months, we needed to replace the wheels, and the foam padding on the stroller handlebar began ripping.

I would say, we had a moderate use on the stroller. We didn't use it much at all for the first four months due to the intense heat during the TX summers. We even kept it in a climate controlled area inside our house. Around five months, I would take it out for a half mile walk about ever other day. (We use a jogging stroller for longer walks). This is where the wear and tear began, and very quickly.

I have already purchaed replacement wheels and are tearing through those (on new sidewalks) very quickly.

Other drawbacks:
1. The canopy does not fully sheild the child from sunlight or wind on the stoller. In fact, the space where the sun shines through is right in eyes of the head position for a 3-12 mos child, when they are facing forward.

2. The positions of the stroller seat are not great. Either the child must sit very upright (which is not great if the child gets drowsy on the walk, because their head falls forward), the next closest angle is so far down that the child cannot see in front of them easily. The tray blocks anything in front of them. My daugter tries to hold her head up to see during the walk when we have it in this position, which I cannot imagine would be comfortable. In either position, the sun beams under the cannopy right into her eyes.

Aside from that the product is good. We attended a baby class, and had to bring the car seat in. The hospital said, it looked good safety-wise (a big priority for us, like most new parents). The carrier is a bit heavy, but not outrageous for the price.

Given the hassles however, I would not purchase this product again.

I bought it because I loved the carseat and the quality it was made with. We go it home and my husband put it together while I was at work. I was quite dissapionted when i picked it up (im currently 26 weeks pregnant) and couldn't believe how much heavier it was than my Chicco stroller. When I put the car seat in the stroller it stuck out so far it felt like I was pushing a school bus it was so long. I wish I could keep the carseat, but the stroller stinks. I'm taking it back tomorrow and getting the chicco carseat much more compact. Oh yeah and the stroller doesn't lock when it's folded so it makes it that much harder to carry with how heavy it is.

Love the infant carrier. Light and easy to use. For some reasons ours is a little harder to detach from base, but it works well with the "extra" base we bought for it.

Stroller is nice and strudry. It is a little heavy over all, but we wanted something strong. I do not know if the reverse seat is needed or not. I will admit we really liked the darker color pattern and that was a factor in decided on which system to purchase. Dirt is not easily seen in this pattern.

I was worried about the basket after reading other posts, with our larger diaper bag it fits and also has room for my purse. I have no problems with it.

I rated this product ok because it is made well but also has its downfalls. It has been ok when I go walking around with the stroller but when putting the car seat in my Saturn Ion it is a little cramped. I have to push the front seat all the way forward to get the carseat in my car and it is very uncomfortable for the passanger to sit in my car.
