you just saved me a world of trouble! thank you! i was about to get this stroller but then you informed that in order to close the stroller it would have to be front facing. my whole purpose of purchase is so that it could be rear facing. i dont want to turn it every use! thank you for this warning!! :)
Great video! I had no clue about being able to lock the front wheels- that would've saved us at the beach! Also you can take the seat off and put your infant seat onto this stroller facing either your direction or forward which was originally why I bought mine. When you do it that way though you forfeit the extra sunshade from the seat and only have the one on the carseat. It's a lot lighter that way and it works well for little babies! I love throwing my car seat on the frame and using my stroller as a cart at the store lol. Thank you again for the review, I wish I had thought to look it up sooner!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. My toddler can still fit in it but got to tall for the foldable footrest and I couldn’t for the life of me, figure out how to gain access to the lower one. It’s not in the handbook that I have, nor in the online version. So thank you again 😊
Thank you so much for this review! I have a 4-1 convertible car seat that does not fit on ANY stroller. So I have been frantically looking for a separate stroller that can hold newborn to toddler and that can have a bassinet mode due to lack of car seat. I love this stroller because of the bassinet mode, and the other features are a total plus. I really really like that I can turn it so the baby can face me! Thank you so much for uploading this.
thank you for the video, I didn't realize it doesn't fold when the baby is watching the parent until I saw your video. Was looking all over to find how to fold this whole baby is facing you.
thank you so much for the review is very helpful. I just started my channel myself after finding out I'm pregnant and I'm already researching strollers this review was super helpful thank you again
Okay, so absolutely thank you for this video! :O :O We have the jogger version of this... but I got it second hand from a friend so no manual and I didn't even know I could do things like remove the pieces the cupholder attaches too. This is kind of a life changer as it will surprisingly open up space and make things easier for the toddler!
i have this stroller. daughter is almost 3. been thinking it's hard to push her in it. i feel like the center weight throws it off as your child gets bigger and heavier so i was looking into a lighter stroller. i used this today though and i still love every feature it has. I'm glad you showed me how to put the footrest inside for toddler mode. i had no idea but my daughter likes to sit with it out which leaves her squished in the seat. it's like she's not comfortable in the seat unless her legs are up. she's 25lbs, size 2t clothes so she should still fit. I also feel like it's getting too bulky. love,hate relationship lol. i seen your urbini review. not sure what,if at all, to get, as a lighter option....
I have the same relationship lol. It does get bulky. I like the urbini for lighter options. It's smaller, easier to push, and fits better in my trunk. It's my go to now he is older. The urbini is lighter in weight as well so you aren't pushing a heavier stroller. The down fall is the basket. I can't fit my diaper bag in the basket. My favorite part of the urbini is the weight without my child in it and it takes up less space.
navywifetales thanks for the reply. i think I'm going to go to babiesrus to take a second look at the zobo stroller. it has amazing reviews and it's affordable. a while ago i bought a kolcraft umbrella stroller. i just did a review. i hated it and thankfully just sold it.
Why I didn't watch this video when I was looking for a travel system..I bought the Graco Air 3 as it was highest rated stroller in Amazon..Its pretty good but I guess the features in this stroller is way too good...Now I regret not buying this one...When u have an infant why to carry the whole stroller..it works like those stroller frame..So cool..
Have you had any issues with it since you've had it??? I really like this stroller but i see a lot of negative reviews about the front wheel sticking or locking i i would love to hear you honest review
Brenda Camacho yes. After I owned it a couple of months the wheels would squeak. It did get harder to turn the older he got. I didn’t have too many issues of the wheels locking on me. I didn’t like pushing after owning it for a year.
Does this stroller work with any graco car seat? Im buying the graco 4ever 4 in 1 car seat and was wondering if that car seat fits into this stroller??
My special needs toddler is using the old kolcraft contours because it fully reclines and is a beast stroller.how would bassinet mode or full recline do with a 35 inch child?we have to have the lay down and sleep option without legs dangling
Hi, I just bought this second hand to use with a grandchild, yet to be born. They did not sell the car seat and I am wondering will it work with car seats on the market now? The couple we bought it from said yes but I am want to confirm and can not find information on GRACO web site. Also the storage lock does not seem to click and it opens while trying to put in car. We cannot seem to find this part anywhere. Any clue how to get it to stay locked. Other than a small bungee cord. I'm no spring chicken and need it ti stay shut as I put it in the car and take out.
when the car seat is in the bassinet and clicks, can you fully extend the canopy from the bassinet over the car seat comfortably or does that not really work well?
Madi Robinson it works well. You can fully extend it over the car seat. My friend has the stroller and did it that way all the time. It gives nice shade and privacy.
navywifetales ok great and I absolutely love it but I keep hearing that it can be squeaky??? And that as the kid gets older it becomes very difficult to maneuver and very heavyweight. What are your thoughts on these things?? Obviously a really heavy stroller that's hard to push around isn't nice at all and to top off with squeakyness it may be really annoying... does it even fit toddlers to age 3/4?
Thanks for the review. Which other stroller were you considering before deciding on this one? I’m comparing this with Chicco Bravo. I read that the former has issues with the wheels as it is plastic. Chicco Bravo wheels are filled with foam and has an all wheel suspension. It would be comfortable for the baby especially on rough roads in the park. However it costs USD100 more in my country (including the respective car seats). Not sure if the more comfortable ride is worth the USD100 upgrade.
How does this stroller fair on different terrains (e.g. Grass, concrete, gravel, etc.)? I've heard that the wheels are hard plastic and I'm just curious how it handles and if your wheels have held up since you've had the stroller? Thanks!
I have tried the stroller on grass and it is harder to push but it will roll. I also have pushed it on mulched and it did fine. I did not lock the front wheels when it was on mulch. On concrete is where it rolls the best. I used it most on concrete when I first got it. It is great to take walks with. For my 18 month old I do have to use two hands to turn it. One hand is possible but it is a little bit harder.
Saeideh torabi.d it is sold as a travel system. I had to buy separate b/c I lived in Japan and toy r us was the only one that sold it (at the time) they would not ship it as a travel system so I bought it separate
I wanted to update. I pushed this stroller on gravel today. It pushed so easy! I locked the front wheels. :)

Hi! I’m expecting first baby and let me ask u please! Do you regret getting a 4in 1 instead of travel system for your newborn at the time???
The best review I have yet to watch!!! You literally covered everything. Thanks you made my decision so easy

Thank you for showing how to fold the footrest back in toddler mode.
Sealstalker no problem
Thank you so much for this video!! This is the MOST thorough review I found!
Your demo was better that graco itself! I could not find a graco demo for this model in TH-cam

Nilam Nath it was the best. I know it’s so overwhelming when buying strollers.
Hello is this the Graco Modes closer?
Have you had any issues with it since you've had it??? I really like this stroller but i see a lot of negative reviews about the front wheel sticking or locking i i would love to hear you honest review

which stroller did you get in the end?
Your review was super helpful! I loved it
Thank you very much for the video. It was very helpful. I was stuck on something but i got the solution from the video.
Mike Mukasa I am so glad I could help

Jennifer Ramirez I think it would be great. You can lift the bottom and recline that way it’s flat. The straps go up really high.

Patty Reichert any graco will work I believe. I think mine broke too so it was just open. It was kind of pain.
What car seat will u use when the baby is about to be 1
Can I add a board?
when the car seat is in the bassinet and clicks, can you fully extend the canopy from the bassinet over the car seat comfortably or does that not really work well?
Madi Robinson it works well. You can fully extend it over the car seat. My friend has the stroller and did it that way all the time. It gives nice shade and privacy.

What are your thoughts on these things?? Obviously a really heavy stroller that's hard to push around isn't nice at all and to top off with squeakyness it may be really annoying... does it even fit toddlers to age 3/4?
They do squeak after awhile I noticed it. It is pretty hard to turn the heavier Emmett got. You might try WD-40 to help the squeaky wheels.
Please the link to the stroller

Can the stroller collapse if the car seat is resting on the infant stroller as well?
sweetart208 I don’t think so.
Thanks for posting this!!
where did you get the stroller and how much was it
Aubrey Gauthier we got our at babies r us (back then it was the only place you could get it) and it was$ 250 USD now you can find them more places.
ok thank you very much
Your video is better than thiers
Thank you!! What a compliment
The lock on the front wheel always locks up on itself making it really hard to turn, any way I can fix that?
iamfreedom1 I will look into that.
Great video 👍🏼 thank you!!
how do you unfold the stroller
+Ashley Turner You pull the handle up and lock it in place. It's very easy :)
How does this stroller fair on different terrains (e.g. Grass, concrete, gravel, etc.)? I've heard that the wheels are hard plastic and I'm just curious how it handles and if your wheels have held up since you've had the stroller? Thanks!

One hand is possible but it is a little bit harder.
+navywifetales did you notice any creeping or wobbliness as time passed with this stroller? thank you!
+Andrew Rozell It doesn't wobble. It does squeak. So when I push it makes a squeak nose like it needs wd-40.
is this a travel system or you bought the car seat and the stroller separately?
Saeideh torabi.d it is sold as a travel system. I had to buy separate b/c I lived in Japan and toy r us was the only one that sold it (at the time) they would not ship it as a travel system so I bought it separate
how do you change the straps on the stroller?
There is a zipper in the back. You open that then changed them that way. You have to re loop them yourself.
Thank you so much !!!!!
what kind of infant car seat did you use?
Aiko Wood Graco snug ride click connect 35. Any Graco infant seat will work.
Thank you you help me a lot 😍
sky baran so glad
thank you, this really helped
What color is this one?
I’m not sure. It was the very first one they released back in 2013
Great review thank you
