Wheel assemblies break easily - replacements are very slow to arrive
I've had a Graco Quattro stroller for 18 months and have just had to order a replacement front wheel assembly for the second time. The plastic piece that connects the front wheels to the metal frame cracks easily. Graco charges more than $25 to ship you a replacement. The first time the wheel assembly cracked it took almost a month for the replacement part to arrive...
I just received my Graco Quattro Tour Samba and I have to say, I love it! It has everything the other Quattro Tour Deluxes have EXCEPT...this is the only one, yes the only one that also has an adjustable footrest, which was the main factor for my decision to buy this stroller.
The footrest also goes all they way up and makes a bassinet kind of space for the baby so you don't have to use the car seat all the time. I am actually planning to put the baby in facing me which seems absolutely possible...in fact in Europe the Quattro Tour Strollers are being used with a carrycot and a little fabric flap on top of the canopy to make it into a carriage. That's how I got the idea for turning the baby around.
The fabric is beautiful, very stylish, for moms and dads - and best of all - easy to clean. You can wipe it clean or throw the whole cover in the wash.
The Quattro steers wonderfully and I find the height of the handles just right (I am 5'4 - they are on the high side - perfect for either my husband, who is a little bigger or me)...too bad they didn't make it adjustable like in many other strollers.
The canopy is awesome...it's HUGE...and it rotates all the way with no problems so your child is protected from the sun from any angle.
The basket is huge and seems very sturdy. It can be lowered when the backrest is fully reclined which is very practical.
In the parent console is a time and temperature tracker which is not really necessary but a nice thing to have anyways...
I didn't give the stroller 5 stars because the backrest is way to low - my 2 1/2 year old is way above it (and he is average height). It just doesn't make sense to me why they would extend the weight range of the new strollers to 50lbs. but not change the size of the backrest.
I figure this is just going to be our travel system, first year and a half kind of stroller, depending of the size of our baby.
Other than that, if you are looking for a stroller with tons of features that looks stylish and even matches an amazing infant car seat (Graco SafeSeat) - this is the one. It's definitely worth the money.

We purchased this stroller as a travel system and are very happy with it. My son is now 2 and still loves riding in it. It has a good amount of storage and a snack tray with a cup holder which is great. It is very durable. We've taken it on hiking trails and on dirt walkways and it does fine. My husband even accidently started running over it with his truck and nothing happened to it! It is a little awkward to handle once it folds up, but I like the way it folds flat and easily fits in the car.

I've had a Graco Quattro stroller for 18 months and have just had to order a replacement front wheel assembly for the second time. The plastic piece that connects the front wheels to the metal frame cracks easily. Graco charges more than $25 to ship you a replacement. The first time the wheel assembly cracked it took almost a month for the replacement part to arrive. This time they tell me it could take almost two months. They tell me that this is because the parts come from Asia - they had no satisfactory answer when I asked why they could not anticipate demand and keep them in stock. This is highly unsatisfactory, especially considering the cost of the stroller. I will not be buying any Graco products again and would not recommend them.

We got this stroller in Blackwell pattern. It's not a midsized stroller, definately LARGE, but that's what we wanted for the long walks and zoo trips and such. It's GREAT! Folds with the twist of the wrist. Easy assembly, everything is sturdy. Adapts to hold our snugride car seat sturdy. very comfy for baby, great on bumps, easy to steer. When the seat is all the way down it's difficult to get anything in the carry net on the bottom, but the handles are perfect for draping the diaper bag over and we carry it that way.
The only complaint I have, if any, is that after it's folded, the latch that secures it so it doesn't open back up when you lift it pops off a lot. Doesn't stay fastened. I have to hold it onto the peg when I lift it. They should rethink that. But besides that, I think this stroller is great.

Great! Looks good too. Smooth riding, so my son loves going for a spin. He used to cry when placed into the first car seat we bought. Three lock seat belt, 180 degree canopy on carseat, and canopy on stroller with sunroof (put them together to keep out the elements and other undesirables). Time and temperature, cupholders, roomy for baby, huge storage basket...I could go on. It's just great. Just know it is a bit bulky when broken down to go into the trunk.

I received this stroller w/the carrier for my baby shower, and I LOVE it. At first, it felt chunky and hard to manuever after watching all these hip moms with their MacLaren's chic, lightweight, sportiness, but after watching a friend's MacLaren fall over backwards w/a coffee cup spilling out, after she had a shopping bag hanging on the handle, I am 100% satisfied with GRACO.
Not only is my 2 y/o son comfy in this stroller today, but I've changed his diaper in it, fed him a full finger food meal in the front tray area when he was too small for a high chair (or none available), laid him down for a nap in the fully reclining seat, and trekked him through an outdoor museum in AZ with dirt paths. I usually carry LOTS of stuff with me, so the storage compartment below has plenty of room for a large diaper bag, plus jackets and shopping bags! It handles great (ok, it will bump into racks at the store now and again), and has 2 cup holders and 2 compartments at the handle for your cell phone and keys.
If you can forego fashion, then GRACO strollers are the way to go for all its practicality.

I purchased this stroller for my 9 month old son. I love that it's light-weight and easier to carry than the other one we had, (evenflo travel system stroller or something like that). My son outweighs it by almost 10 pounds, (he's 26 lbs), so to me, it's lightweight. It's also much easier to turn the wheels- our other one was like a grocery store shopping cart with a bad wheel. I have two complaints about it though. It doesn't have a foot rest, which isn't that big of a deal, but the retractable shade thing doesn't fully cover my son's feet when it rains. (Yes, it's probably sounds dumb that I would take my child on a walk in the rain, but we live in Seattle) I wish the shade/hood thing extended further so his feet wouldn't get rained on. Also, the little tray part gets wet too. Besides that, it's a great stroller!

I was all set to get the Peg Perego P3 until one day I had to push my friend's P3 w/her daughter in it while holding onto my daughter w/my other hand. Man was it hard to push it straight one-handed. That completely made up my mind to go back to researching and in one day after reading the reviews I decided on the Graco Quattro Deluxe and my husband and I agree that it has been one of our best baby purchases (and cost only 1/2 of the P3!). We actually started out w/a snap and go and then moved on to the Maclaren Quest umbrella stroller which was great for awhile but soon my daughter hated being in it because the straps were so confining plus I really wanted a snack tray and cup holder. My daughter loves this stroller and I especially think she likes the height that she sits at since it's higher than her umbrella stroller and she can see what's going on around her much better.
PROS:
-FULL SIZE with option of using a 5-point or 3-point harness meaning that you have the option of strapping your child's shoulders and waist or only the waist. We use the 3-point all of the time and my daughter loves the full range of motion she gets from it. She hated her umbrella stroller because she couldn't move forward and back as she pleased.
-Awesome snack tray, cup holders for your child and you, compartment for your keys, clock
-Full canopy
-Full recline
-Leg Rests
-HUGE basket!!! I didn't think I'd really need it but I love just taking the stroller for grocery shopping trips.
-Very easy to open and close. I've even mastered opening it one-handed w/my 35lb child on my hip.
CONS:
-Takes up 70% of my camry's trunk but hey it's not called a full-sized stroller for nothing! I'd say it's about 30lbs or so.
small tip -- the small plastic red tab is for keeping the stroller locked once you fold it down.
overall LOVE IT! Btw we got the Rittenhouse pattern and it's very nice and classic. You could definitely consider it gender neutral since it's mostly black.

I love this stroller! I've had it for 25 months now and believe me, it has taken a beating. It easily folds with the baby on one hip & with only one free hand. It fits easily into the trunk of my Saturn sedan. I couldn't ask for a better stroller.
