Which travel system do you have?

Does anyone have the Quattro Tour travel system or the Passage travel system?

I am trying to decide between the two and I was looking for some feedback. TIA!

Even if you dont have either of these, which system do you have and do you like it?

Re: Which travel system do you have?

I have the "Glider Travel System" from Graco and went with that one over the MetroLite or any other Graco models basically because I liked the pattern the best on this stroller.

If I were to do it over again I would get the Metrolite in another pattern -- the pattern isn't the most important thing in the long run -- but some Graco models are made more sturdily then others, and the Glider isn't one of the best.

I don't know about the passage or quattro tour models, but my sister has the Metrolite and it is AWESOME.

My complaints about my model are:
1. The canopy seems to have tons of extra fabric and doesn't seemed secured well yet we think we put it on properly. The velcro comes undone OFTEN and there is nowhere to tuck the fabric into so it flaps in the breeze a lot which is just annoying.

2. The basket in the bottom could be a lot bigger and is hard to get at when the stroller is reclined (which it needs to be in order to put the infant seat in).

3. The recline is done with a drawstring which is very hard to get even, so sometimes one side is reclined more then the other and the baby looks slumped.

I would definately look at ALL models of the Graco system, because I LOVE having a travel system, love the convinience of the infant seat going back and forth between the stroller and car, and do use it every single day, even for small errands, but feel that there are a lot of imperfections with my model so definately do your homework!

Good Luck, and sorry I typed so much!

Re: Which travel system do you have?

I have the quattro tour - and I have to admit - its not my fav.

I like it for big shopping trips (to the mall) and for when the baby is younger - but it's big and bulky.

In addition to the quattro I have the Peg Perego PLiko P3 _ and I love it. It's great for travel - takes up much less space in my car and its easier to take in and out.

Re: Which travel system do you have?

I have the quattro tour also. I think it is a great stroller. I loved how I could hook the car seat right on top when my son was younger. The cup holders, trays, and compartment is great. The huge basket underneath is amazing. It holds a lot of stuff and can be put down without having to put the baby's seat up all the way. The only complaint I have is that the back wheels are SO WIDE. I don't know why they have to be like that, but it makes moving through tight spaces very difficult. It is a bit bulky also, but that doesn't bother me because I own an SUV. When I put it in my moms nissan altima, though, it takes up the entire trunk.

I have a Peg Perego Pliko P3 that I use as a travel system. My infant carrier snaps right into it. I love it because it's so light and folds up really small. I thought that the Graco strollers were so heavy and bulky. If I didn't have the Pliko I would have used a Snap & Go and then a lighter weight stroller for when DS grew out of the carrier.

I registered and received the Graco Quatrotour but returned it. Too big and bulky. I got the Snap 'n Go instead and another stroller for when the baby outgrows the bucket. I love the Snap n Go and highly recommend it!!
