Graco Strollers: What's better?

Soon2B-Mrs.McC

I'm trying to decide between a Metrolite or Quattro Tour stroller, both come in the pattern we want.  Can anyone tell me pros/cons of each model, what's better in your opinion?

FWIW, we live in a rural area, so the use of the stroller will be mainly on gravel (no city sidewalks!), grass, etc. when we have the baby at the farm, at cattle shows, fairs, family picnics, etc.

We have the Graco Quattro, and it has worked great for us. We don't live in a rural area, but it's been great when we needed it to go on grass. We were actually just at a county fair last weekend, and it did well there through the gravel, grass, dirt (ok, mud) etc. as well. Pretty sturdy. HTH.

I have the Metrolite and one of my best friends has the Quattro Tour.  They are both really nice strollers.  The Metrolite is MUCH lighter, though.  The reason we didn't get the Quattro Tour is because we were planning on getting pregnant again before my daughter was 1 and I couldn't imagine getting that in and out of my truck while being pregnant.  So as long as you're OK lifting the weight of the Quattro Tour, I would probably recommend that one just because of the hard use it sounds like it is going to get.  We actually just got the Quattro Tour Duo and I love it!

We have the Metrolite and it is FANTASTIC. I have practiced wheeling it all over the place and the ride is supersmooth, and it is light. I highly recommend it!

We did the Metrolite because it seemed to have most of the same features as the Quattro but lighter.

We have the Quattro, and although we have not used it yet, we've put it together and it looks very sturdy! I'm really excited.

The basket is huge, too!
