...a good experience with a Graco buggie previously and a recommendation from a friend who insisted Graco was the way forwards we decided that this was the brand for us and our new arrival, Natalie. The fact that this is one of the cheapest brands of baby products was also a major factor in our decision.
We browsed the range and chose the quattro model due to its chunky wheels mainly as we have had problems before with buggy wheels wearing out due ... ...most most expensive in the graco range at £220 when I bought it around six months ago. This is not including the deluxe model which is more expensive and includes a pram insert which i don't fully understand, sorry! It is still a relatively cheap buggy in comparison with the offerings of similar specification from other brands.
Due to the sheer size of the buggy it may not be suitable for people who use public transport a lot or those with small ...

Advantages: Comfy, easy to steer, easy to fold Disadvantages: Bulky when folded; quite heavy with a toddler
I bought my Graco Quattro Tour Travel System in 2003 for my first child. It cost £239.99, which included pushchair, apron, car seat and in car base. I felt this was excellent value for money, giving us everything we needed.
After 17 months of use, I still have a mostly positive opinion.

There was also a head hugger which I only used for a short time as it seemed to get on his nerves and make him agitated - this is probably just my baby's personality rather than a negative comment on the actual product!
Now he is a toddler the seat is still roomy with plenty of support to rest his head.
The seat is easy to adjust, even with ...

Graco Quattro deluxe travel system I actually had this bought for me by my uncle (but I picked it) when I gave birth to my daughter nearly 2 years ago, and this pushchair is still going strong.

The trouble is then, is you have to teach everyone else how to do it. And if they mess about with the bar trying to lower it flat while she's asleep it will wake her up. It is suitable for weight 0-15kgs which is ...

Advantages: Very sturdy, handle tall enough, easy to assemble Disadvantages: HEAVY, HUGE,
I did a bit of research and found this stroller on Amazon from Babies 'R Us. It cost $99.99(USD), plus I had a coupon for $10(USD) off any stroller, so with shipping and everything, it cost less than $120(USD). So the price wasn't too bad
The first thing I liked about it was the ease in putting it together. Once I got past the instructions that were in four other languages, I found that they had written instructions as well as a picture part list ... ...put it together. No tools were required. The only thing I had to have was a knife to cut off the plastic bands that held pieces together. You simply snap the wheels into the legs of the stroller, put the parent and child trays on, and voila! You have a stroller together. Took me less than 10 minutes. The child tray will hold any sippy cup or bottle or juice box I have seen, and it has a small middle compartment that would fit some nice Cheerios for ...

We bought the Graco Quattro Tour Travel System after looking at everything on the market comparing costs, accessories, weight etc.
This travel system was for my first child so I had no previous experience to help me. The whole concept of the travel system is revolutionary; my mom was so impressed.

It came with an auto base, weather shield, foot muff and changing bag (the only thing I have had to buy additionally is a parasol). The autobase is a brilliant idea. You fix it in the car once and the infant carrier just clicks in place. No messing around with intricate lacing of seat belts while your baby is screaming their head off. The carrier can also be used without the base. We fitted ...

As a present from my mum, I knew the buggy for our little monster would be good, but the quality of this product has astounded me. Although not the smallest of contraptions, it is sturdy and is good for running through ignorant people when christmas shopping! (no, seriously, this does count!).

We already had a pram/travel system (a second hand one off friends)! But we went to babies r us for an autobase for the car and came out £229.99 down! Purely because we saw this travel system and fell in love with it!
The lovely lady in babies r us showed us all the special funky little moves this travel system makes!

BRILLIANT! Although I say this is handy for public transport due to the size of the buggy it is very heavy compared to other buggys so you could srtuggle lifting it onto a bus or train (unless you have friendly drivers)!
Next is the one click autobase that comes free with the system! Put it in your car once (very easy to put in with arrows on the base to show you the way!) and then ...

We only had a limited budget for our pram and I desperatley wanted a travel system that had a carrycot for the newborn so that it did not spend ages in the card seat ( I had read a report that babies should only spend 2 hours at a time in a car seat.) At the cheaper end of the market there was very little choice but for an extra £30 you can buy a soft carry cot insert that transforms this forward facing buggy into a pram in which the baby faces you, ... ...see his face and talk to him.
I loved the colour, (I bought the oakwood version) which is cream and pale brown. It is different to all the black and navy prams on the market. I can see the cream suede effect material getting dirty very easily, especially as my son gets older but the covers are removable and washable so you freshen up your pram and make it look like new again.
The car seat came with the automatic base which unfortunatley did not ...

Advantages: Strong and sturdy Disadvantages: Difficult to use on the bus.
I really like this stroller. It feels very sturdy and reliable, which I really appreciate. It's a little on the heavy side, but I think that's a fair trade-off considering how safe and secure it keeps my baby. This stroller is built like a tank.
It's pretty easy to store, too. It folds up when you twist the handle (I don't think you would be able to accidentally fold it up while using it, however). I keep mine laying on its side under the dining ... ...is also very easy to adjust, and it can be adjusted to accommodate different sizes of babies. My baby is still very small, but I imagine that a toddler would still be very comfortable in there. I also like how long the seat is when you lay it all the way down flat.

The steering is pretty decent as well. It takes corners well and I don't find myself having to strain my arms ...

Advantages: Folding down, multifunctional Disadvantages: Slightly heavy
Being a first time Mum, I searched around all the high street shops for a functional and attractive travel system. Out of all the prams this one had the easiest folding down system, even tho it was slightly on the heavy side I could fold it down with 1 hand! The carry cot was great for the first 4 months fitting in to the pram snuggly as the seat folded flat (which I found alot of other prams didn't do) The car seat had a base that made it so easy ... ...(no messing around with seat belts every time!) It is also very well padded, however it didnt come with cushioned protectors on the straps.

She's in the buggy part now which has three postions and harnesses which is great. Overall fab travel system highly recommended! ...
