How can I describe the Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe? It’s an awesome travel system!
Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System – Best Full Car Seat Travel System
I thought I saw a bargain when surfing in Amazon – it was selling for a lot less than retail stores – and a bargain it was. Once it arrived at my doorstep, I couldn’t stop admiring the material. It’s so soft and lovely to the touch!
Baby must feel so comfortable in it! The seat is large enough so baby can enjoy the space and yet it’s very safe for baby with a 5-point harness. Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe gives a smooth ride even when we’re on not-so-smooth pavements.
As a stroller, I loved that it can recline as many as 4 positions, even though I only used 2 until baby got a bit older. The canopy provides enough shade for baby regardless of what position the seat is reclined to.
As a car seat, both the seat and the base are very easy to install. At first I thought I’d be stumped because I had imagined it to be harder.
The stroller frame is light enough to lift into the car after folding it down with one hand. The seat is very heavy, so I always have to install the car seat first before putting baby into it.
The weight also makes the stroller quite difficult to push, as I’m not heavy-built. But I’m sure this weight must contribute to the smooth rides for baby, so I try to put up with it.
I would recommend Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe to the mums who want a sturdy and comfortable travel system for baby but who’re not too petite to push a nearly-50-pound stroller plus baby.

The Graco Passage Travel System is one of the more popular travel system strollers in the market. It has got plenty of great features as a full size stroller and the car seat is awesome too!
Graco Passage Travel System
The Car Seat
Firstly, the car seat can be detached from the base that stays installed in the car. That’s convenient for switching cars when you want to take baby out. If you like, you can buy an extra base for the second car as well. The car seat is very easy to take in and out of the car once the base is properly installed. You can also bring it onto the plane as a couple of reviewers mentioned that it fits well.
The car seat has two canopies that can protect baby from sun and rain completely when the car seat is in the stroller.
The Stroller
There are many nice features on the stroller. Mums would love the many compartments to keep baby things in. The basket beneath which is good for bigger items like the diaper bag, is easily accessible by pressing it down with your foot. There are side pockets for sunglasses or cellphone, toys, hanky, and so on, plus 3 cupholders for mum and baby!
The seat reclines all the way but doesn’t come fully upright. This is more comfortable for baby but if your toddler is older and likes to look around, he/she will be sitting up and leaning on the tray.
The stroller steers well with one hand, but doesn’t fold as easily with one hand. It isn’t too difficult to fold, except that it was advertised as a one-hand-fold stroller but it is really not.
At $150 now, the Graco Passage Travel System is a good buy. It is cheaper than the Graco Quattro, and a few other highly rated travel systems that goes over $200. Click the link to see what others say.

If you are looking for an affordable travel system in dashing colors that is not the usual tan, blue, or pink, the Graco Alano Travel System fits the bill completely. This budget travel system comes in several unique fabric colors that you will love even more when you see it.
Graco Alano Travel System, Greer
This travel system comes with stroller, Snugride car seat, and car seat base. Did I say the colors are absolutely adorable? Really, the photos don’t do it justice. Once you take your baby in this stroller out walking, many parents will turn their heads wondering where you bought this lovely stroller.
One hand fold. That’s the best thing to have with travel systems. This stroller locks up when you fold it down with one hand, and you can easily lift it up to go through tight places or down the stairs/escalator, while holding baby in the other arm!
The convenient thing about Graco travel systems is that the car seat goes in and out of the car without the base, which can be installed in the car. You can put the car seat in the car without the base too, as long as you make sure it is secure.
“When you put the carseat on a shopping cart it latches on to the cart to prevent it from falling. I think it’s a nice feature!” – Mama714, at Walmart reviews.
The stroller reclines but not all the way down, so if your baby is still young, you will have to use the car seat. But it does fold down very compactly for storing away in the car, another score!
For a budget travel system, the Graco Alano Travel System doesn’t have many cons. Maybe the fabric isn’t as plush as the high end strollers, but it is washable and that’s what matters. It rolls smoothly. What more to ask for?
