Great stroller travel system!
on March 25, 2019
Posted by: angkoehl
I received the Graco FastAction Jogger LX stroller travel system through WeeSpring Parent Panel a few weeks ago and so far I love it. It strolls very smoothly and I really like how my toddler sits up higher than my previous strollers. The under basket is nice and big. It was a little hard to collapse it at first, but after a couple of times it became really easy to collapse. The car seat installed into my vehicle easily and my newborn who is preemie size fits safely in it still. I have not been able to use the car seat with the the stroller with her yet since she is only a few days old but, when I tried it empty it connected easily. I am very happy with this stroller and highly suggest it.

A good all around system
on March 19, 2019
Posted by: Heather L
I loved this travel system! A jogging stroller is a must for me since I love hiking and it is the only kind that can handle rough terrain with ease. I have used several joggers and so far this has been my favorite. This one handles so nice. It turns on a dime so is able to navigate both retail stores and tight turns on the trail beautifuly. The air filled tires make it a softer ride for my littles and the storage basket is gigantic! I was impressed with how well it transitions between my two year old and my newborn. All of the adjustments are quick and most can easily be done with one hand. The car seat clicks in to the stroller securely and is easy to lift off when I move it back to the car. My favorite feature is the adjustable handle as my husband and I are not even close in height and it allows us to adjust it individually. The toddler seat is comfortable and the tray is nice for snaks and a drink to keep him busy while he rides. I had a hard time at first with the one hand fold but after messing with it a few times I figured out that it just needs a firm tug straight up and now I can fold it easily. Being a very petite person I sometimes have a hard time wrestling strollers into my car but I was able to manage this one just fine. It even fit in my trunk which has a rather small opening and doesn’t always fit strollers. The one complaint I have with this stroller is the buckle for the toddler seat. The sholder straps are not connected to the waist straps so they have to be connected and then plugged in to the crotch buckle but they don’t stay connected so you have to hold them together while you buckle. It is a bit too fiddly when buckling a squirming toddler. This is the only complaint I have so overall I am very happy with the whole system and still think it deserves a five star rating. Thank you weeSpring for giving me the Graco FastAction Jogger LX to test!

Great stroller/car seat combo!!! My baby loves it!
on March 19, 2019
Posted by: auds_30
Being a mom of two I had all this baby weight I needed to get rid of so I decided to become a little more active and wanted the perfect jogger for me. So for weespring to give me the opportunity to try out the Graco FastAction Jogger LX Stroller Travel System in Mansfield Fashion was perfect timing for me!! We opened the box and saw that installing the stroller was pretty easy for my husband and I, even my 3 year old helped! We were also looking for a new car seat because our old one my 6 month old hated and would scream in the car every time we put him in it because it made him hot especially the head area. This was perfect because the car seat had head support but enough space for him to air out so that was a plus for me! The car seat clicked pretty good on the stroller itself. It was easy to adjust the seat belts as well. The only thing was that the infant insert wouldn’t stay put, it kept sliding off so when my son would sit on it, the insert would slide and be a little off centered. The favorite feature for me was the wheels, They are real wheels! The stroller glides very well over every bump and was just smooth riding. My 6 month old seemed to think so too because he actually fell asleep in it while we were just testing it out in the living room! The stroller was easy to fold. When folded it was a little bulky for me in our car but what stroller isn’t?! The big test was the car seat so we went for a ride and sure enough, he loved it! No crying or fussing at all! I would highly recommend this stroller/car seat combo. I’ve always liked Graco for their products. They have great quality products and it shows especially in this stroller! Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this stroller to try out and review!

Perfect for Running and On-the-Go
on March 19, 2019
Posted by: kad2127
I had been wanting a jogging stroller to help me get back in shape post-baby and this stroller/travel system combo exceeded my expectations! Not only is it smooth to navigate on running trails, but it's compact, light, and foldable, which allows it to double for on-the-go travel. The stroller has a strap in the pocket under the toddler seat that you can easily pull to fold up the stroller compactly. It fits perfectly in my trunk so I can leave it there to also use for errands and activities. The infant car seat clicks right into the stroller, so you don't even need to take your baby out of the car seat to quickly pop into the store. The car seat is super easy to snap into the stroller. It has made running errands so much faster.
The stroller was extremely easy and straightforward to assemble. I put it together in less than 10 minutes. The car seat also effortlessly clicked into the backseat of my SUV. I like that the car seat is a snug fit so it's convenient if you have more than one car seat in the backseat (or just want more space in your backseat).
I love that the stroller can be used with my child as he grows from infant to toddler. The toddler seat also can recline for a comfier (and hopefully sleepy) ride. I was delightfully surprised how happy my son is on our runs. He really seems to enjoy seeing the sights and being outside with me. My son isn't quite ready for on-the-go snacks, but there is a toddler tray so he could have a sippy cup and snacks while we are out and about. There is plenty of storage room in the basket underneath the seat. I have a gigantic diaper bag and it easily fit in the basket.
There are a few features I appreciate that make this stroller special as a dual jogging stroller and travel system. For one, the front wheel can be locked or unlocked (red button at the front wheel). When running, locking the wheel helps keep the stroller stable regardless of the terrain so I usually lock the wheel on our jogs. But then I can easily unlock the wheel when I go run errands with the stroller and want to navigate store aisles with ease. The handlebar is also adjustable, which is great for when my (taller) husband wants to go for a run. The running safety leash can also be folded up into a pouch by the storage basket when it's not needed (like for errands). My overall favorite feature is just how smooth the ride is. Navigating turns is much, much easier with this stroller than other ones I have used. I really can't say enough good things about this stroller. I'm so glad I finally have a jogging stroller and that my son loves going for runs with me!
I received this stroller as a member of the weeSpring parent panel in exchange for my honest review.

Easy to use and comfortable for baby
on March 20, 2019
Posted by: TXMama2018
Pros: The stroller was easy to assemble and comes with a parent tray and child tray, which is great. The parent cupholder comfortably held my phone for walks, though I have a smaller iPhone. I also did not try to jog with it in the cupholder, so I don't know if it would have fallen out. The ride is smooth while walking or jogging, and the stroller seems to handle different terrains well so far. The seat seems comfortable for my daughter and is easily adjusted. The handlebar is also easily adjusted for my height as well as my husband's. The basket underneath has plenty of storage space for a diaper bag or other items. The car seat is sturdy and easily attaches to the stroller for times when my daughter has fallen asleep in the car and I don't want to wake her and take her out of it and put her in the stroller. I like that the stroller can be used with or without the car seat. The car seat and base themselves were fairly easy to install in my car, but they are a bit heavier than other brands. Overall, my favorite feature of the stroller is the ability to jog with it outdoors since my other stroller is really just for walking on even surfaces.
Cons: The shade doesn't really cover my daughter well so she has to wear child sunglasses on a really sunny day. The stroller could also use a zippered pouch or pocket for keys, a phone, and/or wallet. There's also a window on top for you to be able to look down at your child, but the flap that covers it is not secured by Velcro or anything else so it constantly flies around in the wind. These are pretty minor issues, however, and I would recommend the travel system.
I was given this travel system to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel, but it has not affected my review in any way.

Great Travel System!
on March 20, 2019
Posted by: Shelbymorris
This Graco Fast Action Travel System exceeded my expectations in every way. It is the perfect travel system for a busy mom of two with a very active lifestyle. I frequently take my kids for strolls in the neighborhood and often run the trails near my house. I’ll start with some of my favorite features of the stroller. The stroller is compact so it fits in my car perfectly with extra room for other items. I don’t have a big car so having a stroller that takes as little room as possible is a huge plus. I love that it only takes one hand to fold it so I can get on my way faster. I can’t speak to its durability, as I’ve only had it for a few weeks, but so far it’s holding up great. A few other features I like are the adjustable handlebar and large storage basket. This travel system also comes with an infant car seat. It uses SnugLock technology to install in your car fast and easy without compromising any safety features. I love that it’s installs in the stroller with ease making it especially convenient when my baby is still sleeping. The only issue I had is the front wheel can randomly lock at times which is a bit annoying. Overall, I love this travel system. It fits my needs perfectly and has made my life more convenient. It comes with many amazing features and looks very stylish. If you’re a busy parent and are very active, the Graco FastAction Jogger is the one for you. Thank you to weeSpring Parent Panel for sending me this travel system to try and review.

Love the adjustable handle and...everything else!
on March 20, 2019
Posted by: smileyriley10
Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this product!
I love everything about this stroller, but my two favorite things are how smooth the ride is and the adjustable handle heights. I am 5'7" and my husband is 6'4", it is great to have a handle that is super easy to adjust to both of our preferences. It's so quick and simple to adjust the handle and the stroller glides so nicely that we actually "fight" for who gets to push the stroller and have to take turns on family walks. We love walking in parks and around our neighborhood and are excited to take this stroller on hikes soon--it has handled really well when going across grass to walking paths and should do wonderfully on rougher terrain, once all the spring snowstorms subside.
My little one is 10 months old and tall, so we didn't use the infant setting as much as the toddler configuration, but loved it when we did! I love that the car seat is lightweight and so easy to install in the car and then pop in the stroller. I look forward to using this travel system from day 1 with our next child.
Other great features--the folding action of the stroller is easy enough that I am able to fold it with one hand while holding my baby in the other arm. I live in a 3rd floor apartment and haven't had a problem getting the stroller up or down the stairs--it's sturdy, but not too heavy. The basket is great as well, it's roomy enough to carry whatever you need but doesn't stick out so it trips you. We have delivered treats a few times to neighbors and have been able to throw them in the basket and they have made it 100% intact since the bottom is flat and the stroller rides so smoothly.
The only drawback is in the toddler configuration the pads on the harness straps are difficult to keep in place from use to use when you have a smaller toddler. Everything else is so perfect (and this won't matter in 6 months when our bug is a little older) that this still gets 5 stars!
This is the best jogging stroller I have ever pushed--we had a hand-me-down previous to this one, and I pushed the strollers of so many families I babysat as a younger person. The car seat is also amazing, it is perfect for safety (& love that clicking action) that doesn't weigh as much as 2 newborns on its own :)

Great jogger that grows with your child!
on March 20, 2019
Posted by: Nichole Kay
I received this product from the weeSpring Parent Panel.
I love Graco products and have owned a stroller of theirs in the past, however this is my first Jogger stroller! I have to say that this jogger is much easier to maneuver around (compared to my four wheeled stroller) and I love how lightweight it is. I’ve kept it in the back of my SUV to pull out when I take my daughter to the paved trails and it is very easy to set up and get her strapped in. I also absolutely love the one hand pull to break it back down, as I can hold my daughter and break down the stroller at the same time.
The car seat included in the travel system does connect easily to the stroller, however the one feature I do not like is how you have to remove the fabric seat to make it compatible with the infant car seat. I only like to use the car seat when my daughter is sleeping when we arrive somewhere, as then I can transfer her to the stroller without waking her. Otherwise, I like to pull her out of the car seat and have her sit up in the stroller for a different view and different position. To me, it felt like a hassle to switch it back and forth between these two options quickly- however once I got the hang of it, I was able to start converting it pretty fast. My other Graco stroller has a strap that pulls the seat down and then the car seat snaps on, without removing anything, and I wish this one used that same concept. However, if you are not planning on needing to switch between the two positions so often, it is still a nice feature to be able to snap on the car seat if you need to.
Other features I like about this stroller are how large the storage basket is underneath and that there are cup holders for both me and my child. When my daughter was a little younger, I used the cup holder to put her favorite lovey in there for her to reach. But now she uses it for her sippy cup. And of course, I need mine for my water bottle.
This is definitely a stroller that I would recommend for anybody looking for a jogger!
