Advantages: Good sturdy pram, reasonable price, good features. Disadvantages: large pram, not for the bus.
...I was not sure about Graco before buying this pram but we have since had a total of 6 Graco prams including a newer version of this one, two Graco stadium duo, one side by side twin and a light weight buggy. We have found them all to be good quality, hardwearing, long lasting and reasonably priced. ...

~**~ Graco Sterling Travel System ~**~
After hours of searching the Internet for the right pram, both my partner and I decided that the Graco Sterling Travel System was the one we wanted.
This travel system is suitable from birth - to around 3 years. Comes complete with car seat, cosy toes, rain cover and instruction manual. There's also an auto base available at an extra cost. I think if you buy the auto base with the travel system you'll get ... ...travel system, the base would cost £33.99
We bought our Travel system off eBay. We managed to get a really good price. Someone was selling their brand new Sterling Travel system as an unwanted gift, so we got it for £130 Inc P+P. Prices vary for this travel system, depending on what you have with it. Prices range from £169.99 - £300
When it arrived I had to put it together, by this, I mean the wheels weren't intact. How to do this was explained ...

Advantages: Lightweight and very easy to use Disadvantages: Rain cover only fits properly without the car seat on
...This was for a Graco Sterling Travel System. We paid around £170. Just before Ben was due I easily fitted the car seat base into my Corsa and was pleased that it didn't move at all once the seat belt was in place. Since I have been ferrying Ben around he's been in and out of the car seat and the car seat has been in and out of the car (on the fitted base). It certainly makes car journeys VERY easy. The pushchair part is very lightweight and easy ... ...'up' position the car seat fits onto the pushchair just as easily as it fits in the car. We have only used the actual pushchair a couple of times so far but Ben seems to like it and as the back goes down flat he can have a good comfortable sleep.
The only negative point I have is that the rain cover only fits on WITHOUT the car seat on. You can put it over the whole travelsystem but doesn't fit very well. ...

Advantages: Good package, thoughtful handy gadgets Disadvantages: Squeaky wheels, getting down
Having used the Sterling for my daughter for the past 3 months, I think that it was a good first choice.
The package offered by ToysRUs inlcuded raincover, car base, cosytoes & matching bag for less than 200pounds. The fabric is navy with beige check & though I worried that it would be difficult to keep clean, we have had no problems.
THe car seat is getting very heavy now that she weighs over 14lbs, but has been very handy with the car base that ... ...instructions however, wheich I would have liked. THe sunshade on the car seat is very useful.
THe temerature guage on the parent tray is usualy wrong (it said 35 degrees the other day!) but the clock is handy.
THe pushchair seat seems comfy though the straps are still a bit too big & I would have preferred to have them shorter so I could have used the pushchair alone sooner (as it is better for long walks than putting the car seat in)
The shopping ...

Advantages: light weight, easy to steer Disadvantages: folding mechanism weak
We purchased this travel system for the birth of our baby who arrived a month early in may.
After seven months of use I am very disappointed to say that the back chassis is wobbly and the wheels look like they are coming loose, also that the folding mechanism (despite not being folded that often) is very loose and is starting to pull apart when the pushchair is in use.
We were also disappointed that our child despite being premature didn't fit ... ...being about 4 months of age.
On a more positive note the package we bought we felt was value for money and graco's customer services were fabtastic in trying to help us to rectify the problems we had (unlike toys r us were we bought the pushchair).
I beleive we just had a 'bad one' as relatives have had the same pushchair and ha no problems. ...

Advantages: STERDY SOLID PRAM Disadvantages: HARD TO FOLD, RAIN COVER BAD FIT
Like the message before totally agree, But unfortunately for me this was bought has a presant and i was stuck with it. I couldn't put the pram down and if i ever needed to it took two of us to do it, not including holding the baby very unpractical, i found that one of the wheel locks broke after a month, On the good side it sterdy pram the cars seats are great along with the cosy toe, but again with the rain cover i could never attach it properly ...

Advantages: Looks good, great value for money Disadvantages: Mechanisms are fiddly and difficult to use.
I'm very glad I tried this pram out before buying, because I would've been very disappointed. The mechanism for raising and lowering the back rest was difficult to use, as was the folding mechanism. Even the assistant who demonstrated the pram had difficulties. On the plus side, it is very sturdy and the steering is easy. The shopping basket is huge, so there's plenty of space for your shopping. You do get alot in the package, including a rain cover ... ...believe there is an offer still on at Toys R Us, so it's even cheaper.
All in all, I'm glad I didn't buy this pram. Just trying it out for 10 minutes left me in no doubt that I'd struggle to use it day in, day out. Maybe I just didn't have the knack. ...
