A Brief Review Of The Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller

Graco Quattro Tour Duo

I doubt there is anyone who has children who has not heard of Graco. They are well known for their quality products and this includes their range of some of the best baby strollers available. One such range includes the Graco duo strollers. As the name suggests, this model is designed to carry two children in safety and comfort. If you just want to buy at a good price, click here, if not, read on!

One of the best strollers for baby is the Quattro Tour Duo. As you would expect, one of the most popular features is the one-handed gravity folding mechanism. Just push the button, and it will just fold itself down to the ground. Added to this, the handles are ergonomically designed and can be adjusted for greater maneuverability, even one-handed use is improved over a lot of models. Your children’s comfort is afforded by the use of an efficient spring suspension system and there is also sufficient storage, cup holders and a parent storage tray. A very useful feature is the removable seat pad as this facilitates easy washing along with the frame. On the down side, all that plastic is obvious but as the price is quite reasonable perhaps that is expected.

The model will accept two car seats from the range of Graco SnugRide 32 and Infant Safe Seat car seats with the front seat taking a child up to 50lbs the back seat will take a 40lb weight. The seating arrangement is a stadium system with the front seat being lower than the rear.

The reviews of Graco baby strollers are using good and the pricing is varied. Therefore, if you are looking for a stroller for baby, including a twin strollers, you need to give Graco some consideration.

What Is The Best Stroller Travel System For The Money?

The Graco Metrolite Travel System is the best stroller travel system I have seen.

The system comes with an infant carrier, stroller and carrier base (which is installed into the car). This is Graco’s lightweight stroller travel system, they have a heavier system called the Quattro, but it is too heavy and clumsy compared to the Metrolite.

The carrier base uses the LATCH hooks that are available in nearly every car made in the last decade and is easy to install. If you are sharing drop-off and pick-up with a spouse, additional carrier bases can be purchased. The infant carrier snaps into the stroller frame so transfering between car and stroller can be done without waking up a sleeping baby.

The stroller is light weight but full featured. It has ample storage in the underneath basket. It folds up easily to put into the trunk or back of the van/SUV. Since this is the lightweight version, it is easy to lift.

There are drink holders for both the adult and the child, along with a snack tray for the child. The stroller reclines all the way to the flat position to allow a baby to sleep without using the carrier. As the baby becomes old enough to support their own head, they can be put in the sitting position of the stroller. The stroller uses a 5 point harness to keep the child safe and secure.

This stroller can be used until the child has reached a height of about 36 inches, at which point their head will no longer be well supported by the backing of the stroller.

Having this stroller travel system has greatly reduced the number of strollers we have needed over the first few years of our child’s life.
