Awwwwwwwesome!!!!! I am SO getting it!!!!! It is exactly what I have been looking for. I have a Chicco Travel System from my DD (almost 4.5 yrs old now) so I am ready for something new for our son who is due in March, I have some complaints about my Chicco but this new Graco just looks perfect. Sold!!!

if you get it make sure to get click connect car seat. That's the only one that will go with the frame. But any Graco (and I think other brands) goes with the seat to make it a travel system.

Thanks for the tip, I did read that so I will make sure. Glad you like it! It looks like EXACTLY what I am looking for.

updating, I'm trying to decide if I should keep it or not.
It doesn't fold when rear facing unless you take the seat out. which is pain in the neck.
also lot of squeaking and clicking when pushing it. smooth ride , light , but sounds like an old stroller. also seems a bit too wobbly.
maybe it's just this one, who knows.

Sounds like maybe you need to tighten it up a bit. I tried it in the store and it didn't make a sound. Maybe a loose screw???

DH did, I called Graco and was told they have gotten calls about it and seems to resolve if you oil the wheels, I did but still making the noise. Then I spoke to another mom at DD's school who just got one last week also and she says she is having the same issue. She also thinks it's a bit too flimsy and wobbly, which wasn't noticeable at all when I tried at the store. I was just reading the reviews on TRU and saw another person complaining about the same thing .
I 'm so sad because I finally found what I wanted. I want to give it a chance but DH isn't happy and wants a refund

That stinks.

You know what though, after four years of searching and owning different baby items I have come to realize there is no one perfect thing out there. Especially with the strollers, you have to find one that meets MOST of your criteria and realize nothing is perfect. If a squeak is its worst offense, I will deal because compared to my complaints about the Chicco that's nothing. It has so many other things I like that I am willing to compromise.

Another possibility, maybe the squeak is because it's new and needs to be broken in. All the plastic and parts are so new, maybe they are just rubbing right now but will loosen up over time.

Sorry you're disappointed. Hope you figure it out, I know you were so excited about it.

Re: New Graco Modes stroller

As long as you have the 90 days then I would give it some time. It might all work out fine and then you'll be glad you didn't make a snap decision.
