Graco Stylus Travel System 22, Boxy

This is a great travel system. First, the price on Amazon beat all others by FAR. Also, the black/white/red is very classic and gender neutral. It just looks really nice! Installation was not hard at all. It took me about 20 minutes....I READ everything to make sure I'm doing it right. The stroller folds down very easily. However, the product description on Amazon says 'self standing fold..no bending'. That is not necessarily true. You do not need to bend to fold it....you flip the handle and gravity does the rest. BUT, it does not stand when folded...it lays on the floor. So you do have to bend to unfold it or move it. There are some strollers that stand when folded so you never have to bend. But those were heavier. This stroller is relatively light - for a full size. The car seat is small and lightweight as well. We wanted a lightweight car seat for when we're taking the whole seat wtih the baby out of the car. This seat only holds up to 22 lb babies. So you will...Read more

Overall, I find this to be a good travel system, but there are a few things I would change. Most importantly, the storage area under the stroller is very small and even our baby's diaper bag does not fit into it. I also feel that the material that the baby sits on in the car seat is hot, and does not breathe well ~ my baby is always getting very sweaty in it. Finally, the stroller is very bulky. The design makes opening and collapsing it very easy, but I have a 4 door mid sized car, and the stroller LITERALLY almost does not fit in the trunk. Though in the end I have managed to make it fit, I basically can't fit anything else in the trunk when it's in there. It is also rather bulky, and can be difficult to manage for some people. Overall, I do think that this is a well made, safe product, but I would probably purchase a different one if I had to do it again.

Great Travel System. The patter is even better than what I imagined. The cushion on the stroller and car seat are very well padded. The car seat is very light weight. Reclines to a laying down position easily. This travel system was easy to assemble. Even being in my 8th month of pregnancy I was able to assemble it on my own in 20 minutes. The stroller folds up in a very compact manner. This stroller as so many more features that I was not aware of when I purchased it that I love. I love how you can convert the stroller to a carriage so that the end is blocked so baby can not slide out the bottom. I also love the feature that allows for several different angles of the handle. I would definitely recommend this travel system.
