Best stroller on the market!
June 17, 2015
When my son was born in 2008 was the last time I had purchased a stroller, fast forward to now, I have a 6 month old daughter and WOW have strollers changed. It seems like they are vastly lighter weight, more durable and have so many nice features such as new parent trays with deep compartments and quickly connecting accessories. When I started stroller shopping a few months ago I was stumped. There are so many different ones on the market its hard to know which one to choose. Luckily Graco helped me make my decision using their Product Comparison Chart on their site and I was able to receive the travel system for free to facilitate this review in exchange for giving you my honest opinion. After comparing all their strollers I finally settled on the Soho Click Connect Travel System. Mine is the Manor fabric pattern and I am not disappointed. It is a great neutral color scheme for a boy or a girl (or both) and is the perfect grey that seems like I will not show dirt or wear very easy. I also is super easily cleaned and the manual had very clear instructions on it. I don't know about other parents but how easy it is to clean is a HUGE selling point for me. The stroller: When the box arrived it was so big I worried there was no way this travel system would be light weight, but after opening it I realized I was able to easily lift the parts, with one hand out of the box. Stroller assembly took less than 5 minutes and was super clear and very easy instructions. Once together I can easily lift and fold the 17.5lb super compact stroller with only one hand. The seat itself is very comfortable and I love the fact that I can reline to so many positions, including flat like a carriage. My daughter loved riding sitting straight up and then when she got tired I went to recline for her to relax, then I went to flat when she fell asleep. Perfect for taking babies with you on day trips with older kids. Keeps my daughter comfortable and is so easy to push on every surface I've tried so far, including gravel! The height of the stroller is also perfect for me or my partner to push. We used it at a convention this past week and he had no complaints at all! The harness is adjustable and converts from a 5 point to a 3 point. The parent tray is wonderful with 2 deep cup holders and a deep organizer that fits my cell phone, my keys and a few other small objects all at once with no problem. The canopy has a great cover from sun and any light rain misting and even has a vent in the top where you can see from the top and check on your child. The storage basket is super large and positioned well for you to carry a full sized diaper bag or breast pump bag with no problem and room to spare. And lastly the seat connects with ease to the stroller without a second thought. But you have to use a Click Connect car seat that it comes with this travel system or another from the click connect line. It is a special connector, not the hook and latch kind. The Car seat: Included is the SnugRide Click Connect 35 Infant Car Seat. It's got great safety ratings and the latch system was very simple to install into my car. The base has simple and clear instructions to install in the correct position and make sure it is level the first time. Sitting the seat into the base and squeezing the latch to lift it back up is super easy. The 5 point harness is simple and is easily adjustable as your baby grows. Fitting it for my daughter the first time was simple and took no time at all. The straps have a good fit around her and I feel like she is safe. Without the base the seat weights a little over 7lbs so it's very light weight, I am a smaller woman, only 5 feet tall, and my daughter is a little on the small size so having a light weight seat as she gets bigger is going to make it much easier on me to carry her. All in all I really love this stroller more than any stroller I have ever used and highly recommend it. It so cozy for your babies, safe and has all the features of the best strollers, yet is so compact and lightweight it's unbelievable! I think this travel system is definitely awesome and would certainly buy it for another baby or a friend, hands down.
