Parenting after a Loss

anyone with a graco quattro stroller???

My DH and I went to babies r us over the weekend to buy our quattro stroller and snugride 32 carseat.  We tested it out before we bought it and noticed something we didn't like. The stroller doesn't fully lock the carseat in place.  If you were go over a big bump it seemed like the carseat could fall out.  Anyone else notice this problem???

  • It does lock into place completely.  THe red think locks up near the drink holders and then there are two red leavers that lock on each side. I love mine but the stroller itself is really really heavy.  It is great if you do a lot of long distant walking (I generally do about 5 miles on the weekends and my mom probably logs in a good 20 miles a week with it).  If you get it, I suggest also getting a snap n go for shopping.

  • I have the Quattro Deluxe in Deco and yes it does lock in as PP said. Maybe go back and have a sales person show you how to lock it in. I like my Quattro ok but if I had to do it over I would not get it again. For me the stroller isn't too heavy, but I lift people for a living. Its big and takes up most of the cargo space in my Santa Fe. It is a nice stroller and def has a lot of cool things, nice wheels, big basket etc. but for me the car seat is turning into a problem. DS is 19lbs at 6mos and is getting too long for it already. Also he screams when we put him in it b/c he wants to sit up further to look around. he ready for a convertible. Once he's strappped in he's fine and usually falls asleep really fast but for us a 22lb car seat would have worked better. I feel like we have 13lbs of size left but won't be able to use it. Also at 19lbs he's already really heavy to carry in it. I always make DH carry it when we are together. We will be getting convertible seats very soon. HTH
