Great for Travel
on April 28, 2019
Posted by: Lc22688
If you are looking for a compact stroller, this is it! It takes up less trunk space than any other I have tried, which makes it a great option for traveling and for just having in the trunk for around town errands. It doesn't fold up as much of an umbrella stroller of course but I would still choose this one over an umbrella stroller any day for a few different reasons (i.e. better ergonomics when pushing because you don't have to hunch over, moves easier, has bag storage).
Some other parts that I love about this travel system are:
*The dual cupholders (for baby and for mom/dad)
*Rear wheels lock and front wheels swivel and it seems to work well on both paved and lightly rocky areas
*So easy to put together which as a fellow new mom, the importance of this can't be underestimated. It comes as pictured out of the box and only needed minor assembly – took me ~15 minutes to assemble
*Stands up on it’s own when folded
*Cute gender neutral design (Carbie fashion is the one we tried)

Along with all these pros, there are some cons to consider. They may not be important to some people but they are worth mentioning:
*I love the car seat overall EXCEPT for the fact that you need 2 hands to release the handle. There is basically 1 red button release on each side. I’m all about one handed items because parents already have to juggle a baby, diaper bag, etc. so this was a definite con for me
*The car seat is easy to connect to the stroller but keep in mind the main stroller seat does not remove. This was not an issue for us but may be for some.
*A smaller stroller means a smaller basket underneath. So yes I love that it has one at least but the slope of the basket also makes it difficult to fit our backpack style diaper bag. It is however fine for smaller items such as a purse or snacks
*If you are looking for something to fold one handed, this is not it. When receiving this, I was excited because it looked like it would be able to be easily opened/closed with one hand. However, when pulling on the release handle (on the seat as pictured) you still need a 2nd hand to push up/down on the push handle to fully open/close the stroller. Despite needing 2 hands, it is pretty easy to open/close all in all
*Although the car seat cover removes for washing, the stroller seat does not. I really wish it did because you know how messy kids can be at any age!
*I like the fact that the stroller seat reclines, but it’s not super easy to do either. The buckle also sticks a little so definitely requires 2 hands to unfasten
*The canopy feels like a very flimsy plastic when opening/closing

Overall, my favorite part of this stroller is how slim it folds which makes travel and storage easy. We also fly often so this is slim and light enough for that. Our other stroller takes up way more space in the trunk (see pic attached). Thank you to the WeeSpring parent panel for allowing us to try this travel system and review!

Super quick and easy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this as a gift for our baby shower and it’s so perfect. The car seat and base click together so easy and make traveling a breeze. Also the stroller folds so easily and fits perfect in the trunk. Clicking the car seat into the stroller is simple and it’s so secure!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Quick, One hand fold, Light in weight but sturdy!

Posted by: Oily4Madi
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been using this for 5months and love it. We use the stroller about 2-3 times a week right now. I get comments in the parking lot on how quick it folds up (one hand needed). It fits in the trunk of my Jeep Cherokee (smaller suv) with room, which was extremely important as some other strollers barely fit across the back of my trunk. Occasionally it has gone in the front seat if necessary and fits fine in the smaller cars too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The stroller is so easy to use, not heavy. Car seat is perfect for new burns. And it fits right into the stroller with a quick click!

The smallest stroller I could find!
on February 5, 2020
Posted by: TSimpson
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this travel system last month in anticipation of our first child. My vehicle has a much smaller than average trunk size, so the key feature, after safety, was how compact the system was. I was elated to find that the FastAction system is easy to collapse with one hand, yet it still has the easy click connect features that ensure I will feel safe using it in the upcoming weeks.

Not good quality
on February 7, 2020

Not good quality. I have always purchased Grayco products for my children but I was not impressed with this stroller and car seat combo. For the price I expected a lot better quality. I have had the stroller for a couple of months and it’s already beginning to squeak and it’s very flimsy and cheap feeling. I wish I could’ve went with a different model if I would’ve known.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
