A nice stroller, easy to operate and fold. A bit heavy compared with the other strollers, but I live in CA, where I don't need to take the stroller far from my car. I think this is inferior compared to Chicco Cortina (e.g. seat not full reclining, not standing upright after fold, not all wheels suspension, quality is worse) But the Snugride car seat is lighter, and I personally found it a little easier to fold than the Chicco.

However, quality is really not that great. I have to use a hammer to bang the left front wheel in, and they use a low quality plastic.

Pros:
- Super easy to fold (twist the handle and let the whole thing drop to the ground)
- Not very expensive
- Shock-absorption front wheels

Cons:
- BIG, and weight a ton
- Cheaply made
- Quality control problem

I've been really pleased with this purchase. The car seat seems really comfortable (so much so that I finally gave in and let my colicky newborn nap in it because it was the only place he would sleep). The fabric is a really soft mesh-like material. I think it's about as lightweight as these types of car seats can be (at least my brother has commented several times how much lighter it is than his baby's car seat of another brand).

The stroller is nice and sturdy. I can get it into the trunk of my Honda Civic but it takes some minor strategic planning to make it happen, and it takes up the majority of the trunk space. It pushes and steers easily. I can't comment on the forward facing stroller function since my 5-month-old hasn't yet transitioned to that. Ideally the handlebar would be adjustable since I'm 6' and my husband is 6'4"; I wouldn't say that we have to hunch over but it's just slightly uncomfortable on long walks.

I really like the color scheme. I have a little boy but I feel like it could work just fine for a girl too, especially if you're not crazy about the standard pink or purple. Overall I have no complaints (except that my huge 5-month-old is about to outgrow the car seat, but there's no helping that; it's been great while it's lasted).

I bought this travel system first of all because I wanted something that was gender neutral. I love the hint of orange on this product! The stroller is very roomy and has many great features. I love taking this shopping because I have a place for all my belongings and purchases. The bottom basket is a great size. I usually put my purse in the basket along with anything I buy at the store. The top storage tray is great to store your keys and cell phone. And the drink holders come in handy. I like the recline feature of this travel system. It's so easy! The carseat is starting to feel heavier now that my daughter weighs 14 lbs. but I knew this was coming. The carseat with the car base is cool! All you have to do is install the car base and just place the carseat in it and listen for a "click". Very convenient! I love everything about this product except for one detail: the stroller is pretty big. The stroller fits in my jeep liberty but it does not fit in the trunk of a car. It's too bulky. I also find it hard to maneuver in clothing stores with numerous racks of clothes. I guess the frame is too wide. I mostly blame the stores not the stroller for my inaccessibility because their racks of clothing are too close together. Honestly I don't even think a person in a wheel chair would fit through those aisles. Overall, I love this travel system and would recommend to others.

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.

We have this same system (but different color/pattern). I love how comfortable it is to push and for my son to sit in. We purchased it for an infant (I am 6 months pregnant), but until the baby comes, my 3 1/2 year old son is using the stroller. He fits in it very comfortably and he loves riding in it - very smooth ride. My husband is 6'1" and I am 5'3" and we both find it easy to maneuver. Sometimes strollers are too short for him to push without getting a backache, but this height is great for him (and me too).

We have not used the car seat yet since I'm still pregnant but we love the look. We like the padding and that it is easy to clean. We had a Graco travel system with our older son, but this is more of a "loaded" model, and we like it a lot better! Looks sharp and at a decent price.

My ONLY issue is sort of a major one. The stroller does not fit into the trunk of my car (Pontiac G6 sedan). It is a HUGE stroller to fold up in comparison to the lower-end Graco model we used to have. It does fit in my husband's Saturn Ion trunk. We didn't realize this until we purchased it, and it's a pretty big deal...so please keep this in mind if you don't have a large trunk!! It is very tall when folded.

While I was pregnant I started searching for strollers. I looked online and in stores to get an idea of what was available. Of course I quickly found out that there are a ton of travel systems to choose from. After a lengthy search I finally settled on the Graco Quattro Tour Sport Travel System, Boone. I knew we were having a girl, but I wanted a somewhat neutral looking system in case we have a boy later on. Our daughter is now 4.5 months old and we are still thrilled with this system.

Car Seat: Overall it's solid, but not too heavy. The adjustable handle makes for easy carrying (of course it gets harder as baby gets bigger, but that's a given with any car seat). The sun shield is pretty large and covers the baby nicely as needed. At first I couldn't figure out how to un-tighten the straps, but once I found the little lever near my daughter's feet (it's hidden under a little flap of fabric) it's as easy as can be. The car seat easily snaps in and out of the base and stroller. It also locks on to most shopping carts which is very convenient at the grocery store.

Stroller: I was pleasantly surprised with how light the stroller is without losing any points on size and maneuverability. I can easily lift the stroller in and out of the car. In fact my 60 year old mother was able to do it as well. I am also thrilled with how well it steers. I can use one hand to guide the stroller while using my other hand to hold the dog's leash as we all take a walk. One of the features I was worried about was the basket underneath. I read that many of the strollers lost points due to tiny baskets which offered very little room for the diaper bag and other necessities. Not so with this stroller. The basket is quite large and I easily fit the diaper bag, my purse, and a few department shopping bags. In fact when we took the stroller with us on a plane (we gate checked it and the car seat) we were able to fit the car seat base in the stroller basket so we didn't have to carry it as we walked around the airport. This was made possible by a small little lever that drops the sides of the basket down so it's just flat. My other favorite feature is the one hand button to close the stroller down. Literally I use one hand to press the button in and the stroller folds right down. When I want to open it again I just pull up on the handlebar and it pops right open. The only negative I can say about the stroller is that there does not seem to be a locking mechanism to lock the stroller in the closed position. So when I lift it in and out of the car I just have to make sure I hold it together so it doesn't pop open. Really not a big deal, but thought I'd mention it.

Overall we are very happy with the whole system. I really can't say enough good things about it.

While I really liked the car seat for its convenience and colors, I would suggest just getting the car seat and skip on this travel system. The stroller is much too big. I didn't use the stroller at all and ended up selling it on craigslist. I had a Graco Infant Car Seat Frame Stroller, and that was so much more convenient to snap the car seat into. It's too bad that the car seat in these colors are not available to purchase alone. I live in Southern California and do a lot of driving to run errands and the frame stroller was so much lighter and easier to take in and out of the car. I exclusivelyused the frame stroller with the car seat for the first 6 months. I just purchased a lightweight stroller (Aprica Presto) to replace them. Bottom line, Travel Systems are not worth the money if you want something minimal.

Love this travel system. It is comfy, sturdy and super chic! Colors are neutral and I got a bag that goes perfectly with it ;)

Car is seat is very light weight. Stroller is a bit heavy however very sturdy. It has taken a lot of beating in a year so far and still works great. My does not mind the weight of it so we are ok. It is big though and takes up all trunk space in a mid-size car.
Car seat should have some more cushion at the bottom.

It is a amazing Product.
I bought two items to gift my brother.
The advantage Is that you can get two interchanged products by prices of one.
