Graco Jogging Stroller

Review by Ghislaine Schwartz : Great lightweight stroller

I'm very satisified with this stroller: it is lightweight, easy to fold and open up, and easy to drive around. It folds up really small, has a harness that can be used as a 3- or 5-point, and it can recline up to about 60 degrees (=more than halfway between straight up and lying flat). It is also rather stylish, in colors that are fun and modern (and totally acceptable for Dads) and that also don't show dirt too much. My only regret is that the basket is not bigger -but I guess for that you'd probably need a bigger stroller altogether, which isn't what I was after. Oh! Also, my son (6 m.o.) regularly falls asleep in it, which he hadn't done since he was a newborn. So that's the vote for the comfort level, right?

Review by K. Hipkins "katieyhip" : The search is over...

I love this stroller! I have owned 6 strollers in total for my 20 month old and was never satisfied. My daughter is big for her age and the light-weight strollers didn't feel too sturdy when I would turn the stroller. This one moves great and turns smoothly on a dime! The basket is the perfect size for my diaper bag and the one-hand fold is great! The only drawback is the lack of a cup holder for the parents, but I ordered the Buddy Buggy organizer and think this will work out great! My daughter loves the stroller and has plenty of room to grow into it. It's umbrella-style fold leaves plenty of room in the trunk of my SUV for groceries. I am relieved to be able to stop searching for the perfect stroller, since I have found it!!!

Review by Kelly K : Love, love, love it!

I was excited to try out this stroller after researching it. We have a Graco travel system that we love and wanted an umbrella version for when our son grows out of the travel system stroller. This stroller gives you everything a travel stroller does (large basket, reclining seat and durability) but gives you the convenience of the umbrella stroller AND is great for taller parents! It also holds children up to 50 pounds. I wish this stroller was around when my daughter was little as we hated to cheap umbrella strollers that didn't give you any of the features that this one does! You will love this stroller!

Review by Brenda Boylan : Great for heavy babies, very sturdy, easy to use

I bought this stroller for my heavy 1 year old daughter, and sometimes my 3 year old uses it, I had a Chicco umbrella that fell apart. The pros: Sturdy Manuevers well, even with very heavy children Tall handles, I am 5'9" and my husband is 6'1" and it fits perfectly Very compact size, fits through shopping aisles in crowded stores Easy to fold, one step Reclines easily and enough for a child to fall asleep in Easy locking wheels When folded it is very compact would fit perfectly in a small car Very comfortable, even has an option to lower or lift the leg rest Nice size basket that is easy to get to The price is pretty reasonable, it is cheaper than the Maclaren and nicer in many ways Cons: The directions to put it together were not very clear, MAKE sure you don't put the wheels on before opening the stroller. Also the canopy has a specific spot it has to go on the stroller, but the directions don't make that clear, if you just pop the canopy on near the handles it will come off easily. This is not a super light stroller, but it is not ridiculously heavy like a jogging stroller. I have three kids age 8, 3 and 1 and have had many strollers, this is the best buy I have made, I am very happy with it

Review by M. Staudacher : Strollin'

I bought this stroller after searching for a sturdy yet light weight sto-and-go stroller. The price is what I would consider reasonable and the quality of it so far is excellent. It shipped quickly and I didn't have to assemble it. The canopy is detachable and small. I can't see it really blocking out a majority of the sun, but it seems somewhat practical. The seat has a five point harness system that is easy to use and holds my little guy in there safely. The basket under the stroller is actually pretty decent sized since this is supposed to be an umbrella stroller equivilant. I could easily put a light jacket under there and some other odds and ends. Maybe not a big ol' diaper bag, but I wouldn't expect to be able to since this is a small, fold up stroller not a full sized stroller. The seat does recline with the flick of a tab but ours doesn't easily slip in and out of place like another reviewers did. The seat sits fairly upright and is a nice leaned back position when fully reclined. The stroller easily manuevers around the sidewalks and side streets of our city. It is stable and turns quickly. The handles are tall enough for my 6'2" husband but still in a comfortable place for me at 5'2". The rear wheel base is a bit narrow for my husband's liking. Because his stride and foot size is larger then mine, he kicks the back tires or brace with his feet if he doesn't really watch it. I don't have this problem though. It folds up pretty easily, and even though it takes using both hands right now, I can tell that the more I use it I may be able to close it with only one hand. It is light enough to carry and folds up small enough to fit easily in the trunk of our car. Opening it? Now that's a different story. You are supposed to push with your foot on this little spot on the back and lock the stroller open. I've done this and several times, it doesn't really lock even though you see and hear the click of the "lock". I've had the stroller collapse in on my son when I put him in it. Not cool. One time I had to practically jump on the pedal/lock to get it to really lock. But then, other times it easily locks in place like no big deal. Maybe I'm just new at using it or something. It's a "User Error" & not a problem with the actual stroller, I'm sure. Overall, I really like this stroller and don't think I'll buy any other stroller. I would recommend it to a friend with the warning about the stroller not locking all the way if you don't do it right. Most importantly, my son loves riding around in it and I feel like he is safe in it. It isn't a burden to pack up and store and it isn't so big that I can't get around the city with it, in and out of stores etc. If you don't want to buy a cheap, umbrella stroller but don't want the next size up "light weight" stroller, this is the stroller for you. It was a great middle of the road choice for us since it wasn't cheaply made like the $25 stroller, was sturdy yet wasn't outrageously priced like the "high-end" strollers are.
