We really enjoy this travel system. Having a car seat that fits into both the base and the stroller allowed us to leave our sleeping daughter undisturbed when moving her in/out of the car. Being off of work for 3 months, I didn't have to feel cooped at home when I could easily take my daughter to the store or the park. As big as the stroller is compared to umbrella strollers, we still prefer to take it, because the diaper bag and other items fit easily underneath, the seat-back folds down (allowing sleep or diaper changes), and it has THREE cupholders, 2 side pockets that can hold other items (burp cloth, bottled water, toys), and a little compartment for sunglasses or cell phone. The basket underneath is accessible hands-free by pressing up or down on the basket with your foot. The stroller fits in the trunk of our compact Saturn 4-door, or if necessary, in the front passenger seat (upside-down to fit in the wide wheels, which are anyway relatively easy to remove). The loaded stroller is easy to guide with one hand, so I can push it if I happen to be carrying my daughter. The stroller is sturdy and smooth enough to take down the street, on paved park paths, and we always use it on the packed sand at the beach (it even works over the brief path over the unpacked sand, if you go backwards). In her car seat in the stroller, she could get complete protection from the sun and light rain with the two canopies, although I found that a draped blanket allowed for more air flow. We took the whole system on a 10-day trip, which included a flight out of town, and I felt like our load was lighter than those we took before our daughter was born. At 6 months, she has just outgrown the car seat (but she's basically off-the-charts in her height/weight), but we still use the stroller now that she can sit up.

br /Drawbacks, all fairly minor: Not easy to close stroller one-handed. Wheels are wider than the carriage appears from the top, so I'm always banging the wheels on something. It takes a few minutes to remove/replace washable carseat cover, but this is probably necessary due to the straps. As with any carseat, we would suggest getting help by certified people with proper installation of the carseeat in your car; we had many questions on installation, particularly since our car lacked the LATCH system. We purchased a second base so we didn't have to remove the one in our car for our trip or for our babysitter's car.

I put this stroller system on my registry and we've been using it since my son was born last year. He is now 11 months and still fits in the infant carrier. We like that the carrier can be used in multiple cars so we bought an extra base. The stroller height seems great for my husband (6'2") and for me (5'8"). We don't feel like we are hunched over when pushing it.
br /
br /The stroller seems like it folds very compactly, but it still doesn't fit into my VW Cabrio trunk (the trunk opening is just a bit small). So we use it with my husband's car and we are thinking about getting a compact stroller that will fit in my car.
br /
br /My major complaint is with using the stroller without the infant carrier. Now that my son is older and wants to see everything around him, he doesn't like to recline. The back is adjustable, but we can't get it to be fully upright, so he is always at a 20 degree angle recline. He has started pulling himself forward and leaning on the tray. It is OK for now, but I think he'll start to get annoyed and tired when sitting forward like this.
br /
br /Overall I would recommend this stroller system.

We've been using this stroller for our baby girl for abt 2 weeks now and this is just a perfect stroller. Its got good grip and wheels are big so moves nicely. Car-seat goes in and comes out in a snap. Folding this stroller is easy - cant say it can be done with one hand but doesnt take much effort and you dont have to sweat it out while closing/opening.
br /
br /Has canopy on Car-seat as well as the main stroller, together both give a complete cover from rain/wind.

The Graco Passage Travel System is definitely one of the best stroller/car seat combos around. Once you've got the base installed in your vehicle (which did take me a little time), the car seat easily pops in and out. The 5-point harness is excellent as well. The stroller is great for two key reasons: 1) The car seat snaps into it easily and stays put. 2) Once the child gets a little bigger, the stroller can still be used to tote them around. The stroller is also set at a nice heighth. As another reviewer stated, I don't feel as if I'm hunched over to move the stroller. It also moves very smoothly, making the ride a lot nicer for the child.
br /
br /The only knocks I have against this set is that the base was a bit hard to install in my car and the stroller doesn't collapse as easily as I was initially lead to believe. Other than these two miniscule problems, I'd have to say that this travel system is one of the best on the market.
br /
br /I highly recommend it.

I received this as a baby shower gift from my Mom and love it! It is so easy to manuever, you can do it with one hand. The stroller has ample space for bags, purse, etc. below and side pockets for cell phone or smaller items. The drink cup holders for mom and baby are a plus. The material is so pretty and the colors are great. The best feature is how the system allows you to completely protect the baby, should you get stuck in the rain or other bad weather. I would highly recommend this item.

Love-love-love it,....easy to use, love that the car seat goes into the carriage for easy transition. Carriage has smooth ride that baby sleeps through. Love that the feet flap can be velcro'd up for an infant to ride in the carriage like a bassinette without the car seat, too. Plenty of storage in basket underneath. LOVE the one-hand fold/unfold feature. Stroller seat reclines all the way done for naps, all the way up for sight-seeing. With car seat in stroller, the two hoods make a complete cover over baby for impromptu rain showers. Car seat works quick and easy with LATCH system. Highly recommended.

The car seat worked great and I loved having an extra base for my husbands truck. The big problem I have is now that my son is older. The seat doesn't sit fully up so he is always just a little reclined. He has to pull himself up to sit up straight. Also, the shade canopy doesn't adjust to cover the entire seat, it only covers from the rear. There are times when the canopy doesn't cover him at all. I have seen others that have a more adjustable canopy. If sun is a concern to you, I don't recommend it.

This system is great. Have only used it for 2 months now but its fantastic. Fits into our CRV perfectly. Its not as heavey as some of the others and very safe. We used it for several airline trips so far and the car seat fits great on plane. I would recommend to anyone.

we got this right before our baby arrived and it was so easy to install in the back of our SUV! and it can also go in a car without the base just in case baby needs to ride in a different car. The stroller is so easy to fold up and the storage on it is really pretty big. I highly recommend this even if it's just for the car seat being able to strap into the backseat of a car without the base. no other brands are doing that anymore.

sinple to use
br /great gift for expectant mothers
br /easy to fold up so makes travel much easier

This is a wonderful travel system that is very convenient and easy to use.
br /
br /I love the Snugride car seat. It is very good quality and fits well in a small car. It is lightweight (which is very important when your baby gets heavy!) and very easy to install. I love how the car seat fits right onto the stroller - this is very convenient when your baby is sleeping in the car and you need to put them in the stroller.
br /
br /The stroller is wonderful, it has a lot of great features. It is pretty lightweight and folds up well (you can easily fold it up with one hand!), however it does take up quite a bit of space in our trunk. I LOVE the basket, it is large and holds a LOT of stuff, which is very convenient for shopping. The cup holders are also a nice touch, they have come in handy a lot.
br /
br /I do wish, when my baby sits in the stroller, that the back would adjust even more so it is not reclined as much. It is adjustable, but in my opinion it needs to be able to adjust even more. My baby is constantly leaning forward to try and sit up straighter.
br /
br /This is a great travel system; it is very high quality for a great price.

I bought this stroller as a gift for my Great Grandson. This is my Granddaughter's first baby, and she has only been using it for a couple of weeks, but so far, she loves it. She says the car seat works great and is easy to get into and out of the car. I ask her if she had trouble getting the stroller in and out of the car, and she said it folded very easily and she has had no trouble with it. She said it rolls easy, and she is very pleased with it.

We love this travel system. I think it's a little less bulky and lighter than the similar Quattro; also less expensive! Yet the stroller has plenty of basket storage, cup holders and place to put your keys. Extremely convenient. The Snug Ride car seat has high safety ratings and easily snaps into the stroller. We also own the swing frame and it's so convenient to go from car to swing when our son is asleep! He is about to outgrow the seat at 4 months, and we're sad to have to leave the system behind but will still get plenty of use from the stroller.

I bought this item for my first daughter, who is having her second baby. I bought one for my second daughter for her first baby, and this item fits the bill. I have seen and bought another brand and this is the better of all of them. Two items in one package. Convienent, compact and totally complete. Definate-BUY!

We bought this travel system in 2005 when our son was born and now we are using it with our infant daughter and it is still going strong!!! It has been great in the airports; we always bring the carseat on the plane and just check the stroller at the gate. When we arrive at our destination, the stroller is waiting for us as we get off the plane!! The bottom cargo area is awesome - it stores our largest diaper bag with plenty of room to spare for other things. We've taken this stroller to theme parks, malls, you name it - it's been there!!! It really does great on all day outings - like to the zoo! With all the cup holders there is plenty of room for baby bottles, cameras, parent's drinks, etc. When you are still using the infant seat you can put up both 'awnings' and the baby is completely protected from rain, wind, sun, etc. And the little tinted skylight is one of the best features!!!!!! We are thrilled that we purchased this Travel System. We didn't have a chance to shop around and just feel we were really lucky to have found such a great product. Enjoy your purchase!!!!!!!!!

Since I purchased the Graco Passage Travel System from my daughter's baby registry and had it shipped to her home address, and since the child it's intended for won't use it for another two months, I'm unable to review this product at this time. I do, however, recommend Amazon's convenient Baby Registry. Amazon Wish Lists are ultimate example of Internet convenience.

Out of all the patterns I considered by Graco, this is the one I found to be girlish without it being completely pink. I always get complements on it. It is used on a daily basis, my daughter is now 3 months old she is still using her carrier and I love the base because I just have to snap her in and out of it and the stroller wherever I go. I love the two cup holders for drinks, the pockets and the basket is roomy. Overall I am very happy with my purchase.

I bought this for my first grandchild and when we opened it it was even better than we had expected. It was easy to put together and has some added features, such as a padded handle, and the fact that you are not able to fold the stroller with the carrier attached, for the babies safety. I would encourage others to consider this product when shopping for travel systems.

The car seat does not have enough cushion, dont know if it is same on all the car seats available in the market. Also the head support is poor. Stroller is light and very smooth to stroll. nice subtle color and spacious (with the underneath basket). In total a very good buy.

I bought this stroller a few weeks ago and so far I love it. It is easy to push, and turns using one hand. The storage basket it great, and fits a ton of stuff. The carseat can be used with or without the base, which is a great feature that many other travel systems don't have. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the plastic pieces have to pressed back into place. Overall, you can't go wrong for the price, and the color is great for either a boy or girl. I plan on using this system for the first year and then buying an umbrella stroller.

I have this travel system but in a different pattern, and absolutely love it! I did alot of research on the safest carseats and the SnugRide came out the best! Also love the stroller!

bought this for my new granddaughter, her mommy loves it and is well pleased with the versatility it offers.

I saw the older model of this travel system in a store and then ordered this newer model through Amazon. Because it is the 2008 model, I figured it had to be "better." To my extreme disappointment, the seat on the stroller does not recline fully as it did with the older model. It only reclines to about a 45 degree angle. Now I have to go through the hassle of trying to return it and exchange it for the older model. (The 2008 version is model# 7G07BAT3.)

We bought this item for our first daughter, and like many of the other products, I prefered to buy this product online and assemble it myself..the product came just fine..but the assembling manual , specially for the stroller is horrible..I have assembled most of the furnitures that we have today, and generally the manuals are pretty self-explanatory and simple...not with this product from Graco..the instructions are partial and clumsy to say the least...I would hope Graco would improve on this one..the installation of the base and car seat..I did it at the local fire station...go there...its fun, and U would feel secured...specially if its ur first baby...

I have had this for 4 months now and I love it! Very easy to assemble and the colors and pattern is so cute.

I had this mailed directly to my daughter for my new little grandaughter who is due in August. My daughter loved this set up and claims it will work perfectly for them. Product is well made, nice colors and a perfect addition for a new little baby girl.

br /Thank you.

I ordered this travel set after seeing it on numerous websites. I was nervous about ordering it online since I couldn't see it before paying for it, but it was the only set my husband and I could agree on. The set is well made and I was able to put it together myself in less than 20 minutes while my husband was at work. You can't tell, but the circle pattern on the green fabric is actually made of little pink and white flowers! It is absolutely adorable and definitely high quality!

My Husband and I are expecting our first child, a little girl, in July. We received this as an early shower gift from my grandmother and absolutely could not have asked for a better gift. It rides smoothly - everything is very easy to snap together and it's not complicated to figure out. There was minimal assembly which my husband did for me and he had a blast testing it out around our dining room! br /
It's a great system - we think everyone will love it.
