The verdict
When the budget is real, this Graco delivers the most stroller per dollar without cutting the corners that matter. It clicks together with a Graco SnugRide infant car seat as a travel system, reclines for a newborn, and reconfigures many ways as your kid grows. It is heavier and bulkier than premium frames and the fold is not as slick, so plan for a bit more muscle at the trunk. Skip it if you want a compact city stroller or a lightweight everyday pusher, but for a value-first first stroller it covers the bases.
What we love
- ✓Excellent price for a full travel system
- ✓Multiple seating configurations as baby grows
- ✓Reclines for newborn use
- ✓Pairs with widely available Graco infant seats
- ✓Large storage basket
Keep in mind
- –Heavier and bulkier than premium frames
- –Fold is bulkier and less one-handed
- –Plastic-heavy feel and firmer ride
