Graco Safe Seat Infant Car Seat, Rittenhouse

0 comments

This is a beautiful carseat. I purchased the Graco Safe Seat in the portica line. I absolutely loved the base, the fabric, the sturdiness of the seat, BUT WHERE IS THE SLACK?????
The only reason that I purchased this seat is my son has almost outgrown his Graco Snugride (the snugride is only rated until 22 lbs and 29 in). I wanted a carseat that would still work with my stroller and that I didn't have to take my sleeping son out of everytime we went somewhere. I had read reviews that this seat was heavier than the snugride, but I really expected that. What I didn't expect is that I can barely fit my 20 pound 27 3/4 inch baby into this safeseat that is supposed to fit a child up to 30 pounds and 32 inches!
We followed the instructions for loosening the belt, the belt was only on the center (not even the top) and it is still TOO TIGHT! I can barely get my son in there (and it is summer so he doesn't even have layers of clothing on!). There is no way that we could use this seat with the belt on the top setting!
We switched back to our snugride (which he can still use because he is only 20 pounds and 27 3/4 inches-plenty of slack). I contacted Graco, they did not have a "fix" for this issue. They are going to send me a shipping label and I will return this seat to them for a refund.
Save your money! It is not worth buying this seat. It is heavier than a snugride, more money, and you won't be able to use it any longer than a snugride because of the seatbelt issue (NO SLACK).

Overall: VERY DISAPPOINTED! Seat is being returned to Graco.Buy Graco Safe Seat Infant Car Seat, Rittenhouse!

Graco MetroLite Travel System in Wesley

I PURCHASES METROLITE TRAVEL SYSTEM - ISBELLA IN 8/08, NOT SATIFISY WITH THE CARSEAT. MY DAUGHTER IS KNOW 4 MONTHS AND WEIGHS 16 LBS, THE STRIPS ARE HARD TO ADJUST AND THE RED LEVER IN THE BACK WILL NOT LET YOU ADJUST THE STRIPS WHEN YOUR BABY IS IN THE SEAT. WE HAVE THE STRIPS PULLED TO THE MAX AND STILL IS TO TIGHT FOR MY 4 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER. IT IS NOT THE THE 3 POINT HARNESS WHERE YOU CAN ADJUST THE STRIPS ONE AT A TIME. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT BEFORE YOU PURCHASE, NOT SATIFISIED, WISH I COULD RETURN FOR BETTER. CUTE AND PRETTY BUT NOT SATIFISIED WITH PRODUCT. Buy Graco MetroLite Travel System in Wesley!

Graco Diaper Bag in Marlowe

0 comments

For me this bag really was the perfect size... not too big, not too small. It had compartments for everything I needed. Even had a removable zippered pouch. The only thing that I wish they would have done differently is the zipper into the bag. First it doesn't meet the material from end to end so when it's closed you have about an inch on each side that you can put your fingers in the bag. So when the bag is unzipped you have a terrible time getting things out of the bag since essentially the bag is wider than the zipper will open. I struggled to get the changing pad out and really struggled getting the cardboard packing out, finally had to try and fold it in half while still in the bag. I'm returning this bag as it really just won't function right with this current zipper. I'd also like to point out that it says the strap is adjustable... it isn't (that wasn't a problem but thought some folks might like to know)Buy Graco Diaper Bag in Marlowe!

Chicco Cortina KeyFit 30 Travel System in Adventure

First, I bought this system in the Discovery design...which is basically the same as the others, just a differnt fabric. This is by far the best travel system on the market. I was about to buy a Graco travel system, when my eldest daughter spotted this. Although quite a bit pricier than the Graco or Evenflo systems, I feel much more comfortable having my baby in this carseat. I love the level in the base that shows you it is installed correctly for baby's positioning. One of my favorite features is that it can be fitted for a bench seat (such as a minivan's) or a bucket seat (such as a Mustang!) by adjusting the base vertically...I've never seen that feature on any other carseat! I also love the little insert in the carseat that just sort of hugs my son when he's in it. The shoulder straps are comfortable and the strap easily pulls and tightens to make sure your baby is snugly fit. My only negative comment would be that when the stroller is reclined all the way with the car seat in the stroller, it is very difficult to get a diaper bag in and out of the basket w/o taking out the carseat first. That gets kind of annoying. The stroller sets up easy and closes with ease. I wish it had bigger cup holders for drinks, but overall, I am more than pleased and would highly recommend to everyone!Buy Chicco Cortina KeyFit 30 Travel System in Adventure!

Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller, Ionic

0 comments

The stroller came with snags in the green fabric. The green fabric is like a satin material. It isn't a material that a stroller should be made out of. We returned it for the zurich pattern, which is made with a better quality material, one more suitable for a stroller. Buy Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller, Ionic!

It does everything a hi-tech pack 'n play should. It sings, chirps, vibrates, has a changing table, night light, bassinet AND it comes in a great fabric. I found the Graco pack 'n play much easier to set up and take down compared to the Chicco.

Graco Swept Frame Pack 'n Play Portable Playard with Bassinet & Changing Table in Graham

0 comments

Hello! I recently purchased the pack n play in Graham for my Son and his new daughter. In the photographs it appears to be a brown frame, with pale neutral covering. When it arrived, (very quickly, in few days) the frame was actually dark blue, with the neutral covers. My son is happy with it, I love it because the changing table is so convenient and the baby can be lulled to sleep with the vibrator. I am very happy with the product, I just would like the color combinations to be mentioned in the decription of the product, because the pictures are sometimes hard to make out. Thanks Amazon!

Beautiful but horribly heavy. This 'sport' version weighed more than our carriage stroller! I am happier with our Chicco! Buy Graco Quattro Tour Sport Stroller in Soho!

Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Stroller, Zurich

Great stroller. Easy to fold, and handle. A tight squeeze to get into my small trunk, have to push and shove a bit.
Love the parent cup holders, and storage for sunglasses, and compartments for kids cup and snacks!
We used this stroller a lot until we had our second child and had to get a double stroller.Buy Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Stroller, Zurich!

Graco Quattro Tour Travel System with SnugRide in Marlowe

0 comments

My wife and I recently had our first child. As her due date approached (Nov 7, 2008) we started shopping around for all the necessary products, including strollers and car seats. Once we settled on getting a travel system (based on various recommendations from friends), we shopped around at local stores for the right one.

We had always heard good things about the Graco name, so we compared the various Graco systems with the more expensive Eddie Bauer versions. This Graco system was clearly lighter than others, but it did not appear to sacrifice quality and durability. So, we settled on Graco.

Well, on October 9 (4 weeks early) my daughter was ready to be born, so I immediately ordered this travel system from Amazon (on my iPhone). We have been using it faithfully since we brought our daughter home a few days later.

The car seat is very well constructed and I feel comfortable that my baby is safe. The stroller is very maneuverable and the rubber wheels roll smoothly on asphalt and concrete. The system is kind of heavy and bulky with the baby in it, but I think that drawback is clearly offset by the convenience of an all-in-one system that will grow with your child and being able to keep your baby in the infant seat when you take him/her out of car.

In general, we are extremely satisfied with this product, and will continue using it when we have our next child.Buy Graco Quattro Tour Travel System with SnugRide in Marlowe!

Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System with SafeSeat in Imperial

I almost did not buy a travel system because I was looking at a more versatile carseat, but my friends who have children talked me into buying this, and I am so glad they did. My son loves his carseat, he falls asleep in it all the time and I have never had a problem with his head getting cranked to the side like I have seen with some other carseats when the baby falls asleep. He has fit into it just fine, from coming home from the hospital to now, and he is almost 4 months and 16 lbs. It is a little heavy at first, but you get used to it once you get your buff "mom arms." The stroller is solid and had lots of little comparments to put your stuff in, like a sunglasses holder and we use the cup holders everytime. Underneath there is plenty of room for the diaper bag as well as shopping bags. The seat snaps right into the stroller and I honestly don't know what people who say it is not secure are talking about. This has been one of the best purchases I have made, and we couldn't be more happy with it!Buy Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System with SafeSeat in Imperial!

Graco Quattro Tour Travel System with SnugRide, Marlowe 2009

0 comments

We purchased this stroller system (in a different color) in 2006. I still love it. The frame is solid, the wheels big and turn easy, folds great and quick set up, not that heavy, and the snugride car seat is a breeze to click in and out. I love the huge basket bellow, and it drops down to make it easy to get things out when stroller seat is reclined or you have the car seat clicked in. It is a bit stiff at first and hard to drop...but the more you use it the easier it gets. And if you live some place that gets freezing temps (we live in Alaska) the plastic viewing window in the canopy can freeze and crack if left outside in the car too long (like overnight). Otherwise this stroller has taken a beating with the extreme temps and done great. Compared to other strollers it is a bit heavy, but that is because of the solid construction. I am 5 foot and do just fine with it. This thing has gone through grass, sand, gravel, dirt, ice, snow, North Carolina heat, and Alaskan winters. Now, it isn't a jog-runner with those cool go anywhere wheels...but this thing can hold its own just fine. We have a Honda Odyssey mini van and it fits just fine in the "trunk" with all 3 rows up with room left over for groceries. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Plus, the car seat is awesome. It clicks in and out of the base to stroller in a flash. Easy to install, easy to clean and has a great safety record. We purchased a second snugride car seat and the quattro tour duo stroller when we had our twins (they are now 5 months old). Buy Graco Quattro Tour Travel System with SnugRide, Marlowe 2009!

I love this travel system! My husband picked out the colors, and I wasnt sure at first but when it arrived, i fell in love. I love the material and its very easy to assemble. Not sure what the other review was referring to but this is brown and turquoise...very lovely! Turns very easily and the push bar is high enough that we dont have to slouch (I am 5'9" and my husband is 6'0). That is a first for us! Overall, very impressed with this item...Buy Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System in Townsend!

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.Buy Graco Quattro Tour Sport Travel System in Boone!
