pushchair is comfortable, and i purchased the carrycot extra, which was great for walking about with a newborn. car seat is large and comfortable. car seat easy to get in and out of pushchair.
Car Seat base is not compatible with my car. A FORD FOCUS!! when car seat is inserted into base, the car seat is very upright. my newborn sons head fell forward out of head support when putting car seat in base on way from hospital, 4 month later and still unable to use it!! Pushchair is very large, and heavy, fills the boot of my focus, with very little room for anything else. Shopping Basket on bottom broke, 1st day of using it. Is too heavy and bulky to use one handed folding mechanism.
Bought this system as had one previously, and found the in car base a huge help. So this disappointed immediately, then when basket broke, i wished id bought something different. I did like the fact that you could turn it into a mini pram, however the canopy does have big gaps down the side, so wasn't sure if my son was warm enough or could feel breeze through gaps. Had forgotten how heavy and bulky it was, especially trying to get it in and out of car boot. Have been disappointed with this travel system this time round. contacted graco re car seat base, and was told its not compatible with all cars and that we should have had it fitted prior to buying it. Toys r us had discussed fitting with us, and as everyone would assume, the top selling family car should not be a problem. How wrong we were!!
We received the Graco Quattro Tour Travel System as a present from a family member. It was a brilliant item as it had everything we needed including changing bag, footmuff, raincover, ISO-fix base and car seat, pushchair and carry cot. We have used every item thoroughly BUT, we stopped using it when our daughter was about 5 months old as it was just too heavy and cumbersome. I struggled getting it in and out of our Volkswagon Passat boot (we had to remove the wheels in order for it to fit) and post-c-section, this was not easy. I did love the built in storage abilities (cup holder/clock/temp + sunglasses holder + BIG shopping basket underneath with very easy access) but the weight was the biggest factor. With a trip to America looming we purchased a 3 wheeler and haven't looked back. It is nice to have everything in one package and I can't fault the functionability or purpose of the Graco Travel System but I wouldn't get a Travel System again.
