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.

This travel system is more beautiful than what d picture depicts!I am a woman and i was able to put it together easily!although when i receieved it,it had already been assembled all i had to do was fix the tyres,parent tray and child tray.The car seat also had been assembled all i had to do fortunately was to insert the car seat base using the latch system.I would recommend this travel system over and over again!

Got this for my baby boy, the stroller was a little tricky to get together (specifically there are pins that you push in and are supposed to pop out to lock things into place, we lost one inside the stroller so carefully push them in) but once it is together its great. The picture on here makes it look red/grey/white, but it's really orange/dark grey/light grey. The stroller does fit in the trunk of my car (Chrysler 300)but takes up most of the space. It's really easy to get going when you take it out of the trunk, it pops right up and snaps into place and you're ready to go. I also like that the stroller folds down with one hand. I would recommend this travel system to anyone.

As shown in the video, this stroller system is easy to use, even for a Grandma. Some of the great features are 1) it's ease of use 2) the handles are up higher which make for easy maneuvering and walking behind 3) the car seat snaps into and out of the stroller easily and 4) it folds down with one simple turn motion of the hand and lays flat in the car or van. One of the best features is how easy it glides along when pushing the stroller, it's like a "cadillac" with its smoothness. There are only two disadvantages I can think of and that is one, the stroller when collapsed does take up a lot of room and two, the price, it's around $250.00. But realize that for the price you are getting a stroller AND car seat. All in all, this is a great stroller and as a Grandma who hasn't used a stroller in a long time, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages. So I give this stroller a thumbs up!

this product is very easy to use including set up. We put this together this past weekend in preparation for our first child...and found it to be user friendly and sturdy. I will update once we are able to actually use it - but if you are looking for a good transitional item that is easy to set up and use - this is a great option.
