Overview

Highlights

  • Only 13.6 lbs and folds up into an ultra-compact bundle
  • Generous under carriage basket that fits lots of groceries
  • One-handed fold

Description

The advantage of buying a stroller frame for your car seat, rather than a full stroller, is that it can be lighter and more compact for hoisting into the trunk of your car. The lightweight feature is particularly great for when you’re exhausted after birth. Of course, the downside is that your baby outgrows it along with the infant car seat.

This is one of the best stroller options for a newborn if you have any of the Graco car seats, but keep in mind it isn’t compatible with other car seat brands.

It folds up very small indeed, so it’s great for people with small trunks. It’s also great for people who travel a lot by rail or bus, because it’s easier to haul up steps than a travel system (infant car seat + full stroller). What about ease of folding? Although the fold can be accomplished one-handed, some people find the little levers tricky to maneuver. Plus, the wheels have a harder time with bumps than the larger wheels on full strollers. On the plus side, the storage space is generous and the cup holders are included.

What we  about it

Graco makes the lightest infant car seats around, and this is the lightest stroller frame option to go with them.

Great purchase, almost wish I had started with it

Really great. Very lightweight, easy to open and close, good size. The only sacrifice compared to a larger size stroller is that there is less under carriage space and it is a bit less sturdy feeling, but that should be a given.

Better than I could’ve imagined
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I already had confidence in the brand overall but this really exceeded my expectations. First of all it’s insanely easy to assemble which I appreciate. Attaching and detaching the car seat also super simple. Folds down easily very compact and fairly light. Seems to maneuver well easy to steer. Most importantly it feels very secure and safe for baby.

Must Have for Infants with Snugride Car Seat
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I first bought this snugride carseat carrier starting with baby number one and I absolutely love it. It’s very easy to get open and closed, lightweight, easy to click the car seat into, folds down slim (I actually keep it right in the backseat with baby instead of trunk), pushes smoothly, has cup holders, and last but not least has storage on the bottom. I actually ended up using this every single time I left the house with baby. I’m so glad I went with this over car seats with the strollers

Great stroller!

I love that it’s light weight and small. It’s far easier to carry the snug ride car seat in this stroller than others. I am very happy with my purchase.

Easy to use and lightweight.

The stroller is lightweight, compact and easy to use. It's not as bulky as others I've seen and doesn't take up too much space.

Lightweight, easy to fold and pop back open. Car seat snaps in and out easily. Only complaint is that anywhere outside other than very smooth pavement, it’s very bumpy (even on some sidewalks when hitting little cracks).

Lightweight and very easy to use, love it so much!
This review was collected as part of a promotion
Although I haven’t had my baby yet, I have purchased the Snugriderelite stroller and snugride car seat already. I have set it up and I love how extremely light and compact it is. I wish I had known about these with my first instead of the full car seat stroller combos, having a smaller car. But even tho the stroller is light weight, it seems very durable and not flimsy. I’m very excited to use it and see just how much I love it. I have always used Graco and will always continue to in the future.

Such a great compact stroller!
This review was collected as part of a promotion
We bought this as our travel stroller but have been now using it as our primary stroller due to how compact it is and easy to get around with. The only thing I wish it had was slightly more robust wheels, as sometimes it has trouble going over bumps and cracks in sidewalks.
