Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I spent countless hours researching travel systems before choosing this one.This was for my 3rd child and I've had several different strollers with my first 2 kids so I knew what I wanted/didn't want in a travel system.What I loved first about this one was the fabric!The colors are great and the fabric is soft and suede-like which was hard to find.Another hard to find feature this stroller/seat has is the rotating canopy-you can shield the baby from the sun from any angle. (not sure why all systems don't offer this feature) Another feature I looked for was a fully reclining seat-has it.Large storage basket, cup/stuff holders are great.
OK, I can't say that the system is perfect....things I don't like about it:The canopy has a large window that allows the sun through so it's not perfect in totally shading baby at all times (some systems have fabric that can cover this, but not the Townsend) so I've had to use a blanket to cover the window from time to time.The basket is hard to get into when the seat is fully reclined...it does drop down for easier access but I've found this difficult to do.And the stroller is huge and will take up alot of space in the back of any vehicle....but that is what you're going to get with a travel system and I was ok with it. I really do like this system....aside from the open window in the canopy it has all the features I was looking for in a color and fabric that I love.
12/29/09Now that I've been using this system for 8 months just thought I would add on.....I do overall really like this travel system.A couple things to point out is: because it is so huge I did go out and buy an additional Chicco umbrella stroller for the times we just don't have the extra room in the back our Acadia for the GINORMOUS Graco. (like when we went on vacation or I'm shopping with my SIL and she's got to bring her stroller too, or to our older son's soccer or baseball games when we have other equipment to haul around with us).Again, I knew the stroller was big when I bought it and there would be times it would not be practical to use.If you have a small car or live in the city using public transportation then this is not the stroller for you.
And so far the Snugride 32 has been no problem at all--I just figured out how to adjust the straps on the bottom to loosen more to accomodate my 8 month old son.Yes it's a bigger infant seat and heavy to lug around with baby in it but what do you expect?Even smaller infant seats are heavy when you have a 15+lb infant in them! If it's too hard to carry then leave it in the car.I like the option of leaving the baby in his seat if he's still sleeping while we're on the go--makes shopping trips/going out a whole lot easier if I don't have to disturb him by taking him out of his seat.
Anyway, I have kept an eye out for that "other" travel system that tops what I have now.....and I still haven't found one! I am happy with this purchase. :)
