So much attention to detail!

I received this stroller for free in order to try it out and provide an honest, unbiased review. This was my first experience with a Graco product and I must say that the Relay Click Connect Travel System far exceeded my expectations. I truly did not expect for a travel system in this MSRP price range to be such high quality, so I was blown away then I opened the box. It is FANTASTIC! Sturdy, thoughtfully designed, extremely easy to assemble (you literally just snap on the wheels and shade and you're ready to go). With my firstborn, I had a much more expensive stroller that was ridiculously complicated to assemble, and it didn't have nearly as many features included- I had to spend a ton of extra money to buy the belly bar, cupholders, parent consoles, etc. separately. Graco included all of these things! As far as performance, the stroller is wonderful. Easy to fold, not too terribly heavy to lift (I can manage to lug it into the back of my car one-handed), and is fairly compact as far as jogging strollers go. The two side wheels easily pop off for even more compact storage. I have used it both for regular errands and light jogging. For everyday use, it's awesome. Extremely easy to maneuver through stores and around town. For jogging, you simply click the front swivel wheel into place and are on your way. The suspension allows for a smooth ride, the five-point harness keeps my daughter secure, and there is a wrist strap available for extra peace of mind. Personally, I don't run fast enough for it to be much of an issue, but it's nice to have the option! It does not have any sort of braking system, which is certainly something to consider if you live in an area with lots of hills. I live in a flat college town, so it is a non-issue for us. The sun shade is generous, which I really appreciate. The fabric is also reflective and extremely easy to clean. I wiped up a spilled smoothie with a damp cloth, no biggie. The basket below is generously sized, which, after having a "luxury" stroller with an obnoxiously small basket, is something I really appreciate. The parent console and cup holders are also adequately sized to hold regular water bottles and drinks. The SnugRide infant seat is also lovely! My daughter is 22lbs. and is plenty comfortable riding in it. I imagine she'll grow out of it height-wise before she'll meet the maximum weight. The seat uses the same fabric, so it's easy to clean, and it is really lightweight compared to other carriers I've looked at. The base is easy to correctly install, and the seat snaps in and out like a breeze. It's easy to snap onto the stroller as well, although my daughter is beginning to prefer facing forward. Overall, this is an excellent and versatile product at a very reasonable price point. If there's a chance you might want to jog with your child, do yourself a huge favor and kill two birds with one stone by considering the Relay Click Connect Travel System!
