Tested the new Graco Ready2Grow...and....

MommyMar2010 · February 2012

REALLY liked it...I'm kind of shocked. I'm usually not a fan of graco strollers period but I have to say......I'm actually quite impressed, and the price is amazing. IT was super easy to use, easy to turn, the handles were perfect (i'm short) and adjustable, and I loved the positions of the seat, etc and that you could change them! My graco carseat snaps right and I'm thinking now this is a frontrunner....i'ts between the baby jogger city mini double...or this new graco (I know, couldn't be more opposite!) I'm going to test both TOGETHER at the same store this weekend......we'll see who wins! Just wanted to post for those of you that haven't yet heard anything about the new graco in person!

Thanks for posting. I am considering this one as well. The only thing is I can't test it out, I have to buy online, so I am completely depending on online reviews. Did you try folding it? I heard it can be a pain.

I didn't fold it----i tried and then I tried looking around babies r us for someone to help me.....but of course there was no one in sight. It looks from the website like it's supposed to be a quick fold, one handed fold with BOTH seats in.....but I didn't get to actually experience it. When I go to buy buy baby this weekend, I will absolutely test the fold out and re-post!

Coming out of lurkdom.... I tested this out at my local BRU a week ago. It took me a long while to figure it out, but I was able to fold it. Once I figured it out, it was easy, and I think you can do it one-handed. I also like that there is a metal foot rest in front that kinda stops the stroller when it is being folded, so that the ground doesn't scrape the front snack tray. My 2 year old is 37 inches and I was comfortable in the front seat and on the jump seat.

I haven't bought it yet. Does anyone own this stroller?

I'm totally interested in seeing which one you like better. I haven't seen this in person and it looks really big and heavy in pictures. And the seats looks kinda small. I've called around and no one around us carries it and I really don't want to drive 1.5+ hours with 2 kids just to try out a stroller. Let us know how you like it!

I absolutely will let you gals know what I think once I FULLY test it out.

The people at buy buy baby have an in store "stroller expert" and I have an appointment with him (no kids in tow!) to REALLY spend some time comparing the graco ready2grow against the baby jogger city mini double.

TBD! I will post on Sunday evening when I get back!
