Awesome stroller!
on March 22, 2019
Posted by: Campbell_like_the_soup
This stroller/car seat combo is AMAZEBALLS. It’s super convenient to use, easy to install into the car and/or the stroller, and as a MAJOR bonus, once baby grows out of the infant seat, she can still use the stroller. Perfect for a trying-to-be-more-frugal mom like me.
The stroller itself has a smooth ride and even has reflectors on the wheels, so I feel safer on my walks. The stroller folds SUPER easily and is nice and light, making it great for getting into the trunk; no awkward lifting of a heavy, bulky stroller.
My only issues with the stroller is that the trays have to be removed for storage, which makes it slightly inconvenient (again, super light stroller, so that overshadows this minor inconvenience). The padding on the infant car seat doesn’t seem super soft, but baby honestly didn’t seem to mind much (full disclosure, she is a cool as a cucumber baby, doesn’t complain much). Overall, this stroller/infant seat combination is GREAT and I’m excited that once baby outgrows the car seat, we can still use the stroller. A big THANK YOU to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this product and giving me the opportunity to test out this product!!

Excellent manuverability and ease of use
on March 23, 2019
Posted by: Memartin
This stroller has excellent manuverability. It is light, easy to turn, and fits perfectly on sidewalks for my daily runs around the neighborhood. I had a Baby jogger previously and this stroller is far and beyond in comfort for myself and my baby. I love the adjustable handle that has helped immensely with the back and wrist issues I normally have after taking the jogger out for a run. Additionally, the stroller is so streamlined that it doubles extremely well for errands, trips to the crowded zoo, etc. The carseat system snapped in easily from the car to the stroller. The padding and coziness of the carseat make me feel better about my baby being jostled when we go for a run over sidewalks and curbs.
The only drawbacks to this stroller come in the functionality of additional features. The cup holders are too shallow to hold a water bottle or even a sippy (except a very short one) without it falling out with even the tiniest bump. There also is no pocket on the back of the seat which would be an alternative place to put water bottles, etc. Also, I wish the hood of the stroller came down further to better block the sun from baby's eyes. As is, the hood only blocks the sun when it is directly overhead or close to. However, the ease of pushing the stroller strongly outweighs these features in importance. I received this stroller and carseat system as a part of the weeSpring Parent Panel, however, I would absolutely buy it myself.

Our Graco FastAction Travel System
on March 23, 2019
Posted by: Alymommydarling
As a mom of two under two I am always looking for things that make life easier. I have been wanting another stroller for quite sometime now because my son is still pretty much a baby and it’s easier to have him around in the stroller. I was given this stroller to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel and i have been loving it. The Graco FastAction Jogger LX Stroller is becoming my favorite yet! Not only is it super easy to use and maneuver but it has a child and mom cup tray included!! Which is just about my favorite feature because I definitely need somewhere to put my coffee. The Graco FastAction stroller and travel system comes with a car seat (and base) that you can easily place on the stroller in seconds! The car seat literally just “clicks” onto the stroller and you are good to go, no extra parts needed! My other favorite feature is the one hand fold, this is literally a game changer and a life saver for moms. I love the clean and modern look of the whole travel system, the handle has the coolest feature that allows you to raise or lower the handle depending on your comfort level or height. The wheels ride super easily and you can totally push the stroller with one hand “mom win” (safely thanks to the added grip belt) and not feel any weight from the stroller and it just glides so smoothly. The low recline is also perfect because it’s almost flat which makes it super easy for when my son needs to nap while we are out and it has a peekaboo cover at the top so i can check on him. The car seat is just about the perfect size, it is not too small or too big and it’s super lightweight. I like that it already comes with the car seat base and that makes it easy to take the car seat in and out. I definitely recommend it it’s perfect for both of my kids.

Great Jogging System
on March 23, 2019
Posted by: ChelsieD
I have been looking for a great jogging stroller for around my new, more rural, neighborhood. The jogging stroller in this system is very smooth, it even works in the areas we do not have a sidewalk. The locking wheel is easy to use (I even was able to adjust it with my baby in a carrier on me) and the foot break can be used with a flip flop should you walk instead of run. The carseat is easy to use with the base as well as the stroller. I love that it even feels wider than my old infant seat without taking up more room, which is great for hot weather and chunky babies. The carseat base is extremely easy to install and even has a compartment for the latches to be stowed when storing it for the next baby to use. I also love that my tall two and a half year old fits with room to spare. The features I would like to see improved were with the stroller. I wish it had a small pump for the air tires included/stored in the (very large) storage basket underneath. I don't see it being needed; however, I would rather have the peace of mind with a tiny addition. The parent console barely holds anything (phone or drink) and I worry things will fall out while running, so I do not use it while running. Also, the fully adjustable seat needs two hands to work, which is smooth but I would prefer to be able to use one hand. Preferences aside, I think this is overall an amazing system and would recommend it to a friend looking for a jogging stroller. Thank you weeSpring Parent Panel for allowing me to try out such an awesome product.

Everything you could hope for at this price point!
on March 24, 2019
Posted by: atotandatyke123
I have a lot to say about this stroller and travel system! Both good and bad. One of my favorite features was the ability to easily go from infant to toddler-ready.
Anyone with two under two will understand this: there are times for a double stroller but there are, in my opinion, many more times when you need a quick, easy,
versatile single stroller. Sometimes you are running errands w one child while the other naps at home with your husband. Or vice versa! OR sometimes you are out as a
family and wearing the baby, and the toddler gets tired or wants a snack, and you need a single stroller to always be able to put ONE of them in, but dont necessarily
want the bulk of the double... moms of two - how many times are BOTH of them really happy in the stroller at the same time?? With my kids, it's not enough to make the
heaviness and bulk of a double worth it all the time.

This stroller is great for this. My youngest is 6 months old so I am able to put him in the toddler seat and use with the car seat. However, one of the cons I have in
this area is how ridiculously difficult it is to adjust the height of the harness straps on the stroller. It was almost impossible for me to get the plastic piece through the holes,
so once I finally did it I knew I would not want to be doing it again anytime soon. I felt like I needed to pick a size that could "work for both" so I ended up with a
height that was not perfect for either, but good enough. Luckily, I don't jog aggressively, so I was able to get the fit to my satisfaction but this was very
disappointing! Even though it is huge and heavy and I hate lugging it around, the harness height is SO EASY to adjust on our uppababy vista!!! AND on my AMAZING Graco
convertible carseat that my toddler uses for that matter. So, this product was VERY disappointing in this department. SAME complaint with the car seat - OMG. Especially after apparently being so spoiled with the no-rethread-harness on both my
Graco convertible and uppababy mesa. Will literally never buy a car seat without this feature again after experiencing how awful the other side is!!! Re-threading the harness was
next to impossible. I will say, in favor of this carseat however, that it is very easy to carry - seems to have an ergonomic shape if that makes sense and the
installation was CAKE. Assuming you are able to get the straps re-threaded properly so that your kid can be strapped in safely (good luck with that!) it is so easy to attach
to this stroller and to get in and out of the car AND to move the base around between cars. As I said, we have an uppababy mesa too, but it's been so great moving this
around between different caregivers' vehicles with ease (it takes a village amirite mamas!!?) One other con about the car seat is the fabric on the headrest - it feels kind of cheap/rough/scratchy. My 6 month old doesn't care but I don't know that I would have wanted to use it on a newborn.

Another con in terms of the travel system features is the snack tray. You need it to attach the car seat which is mildly annoying, but taking it on and off is also super
clunky. And, the angle and distance is not comfortable for my toddler. He is tall for his age and still looks like he is reaching very far for his snacks/sippy cup and
it's hard for him to see what he is grabbing at. I could easily see myself forgetting this one day and not being able to attach the car seat. In general isn't it just implied that as moms we prefer the LEAST amount of gadgets possible?? I will say that the parent tray was a nice touch though!! You'd be surprised how many strollers DON'T come with this very essential item and force you to purchase it separately.

My other favorite feature was the jogging itself - soooooo much better than with my uppababy vista! I have to admit I never understood the value of getting a "jogging"
stroller unless you were a serious, daily runner. And even then, I usually try to work out when someone is watching my kids for me! But, I received this product from
the weeSpring parent panel so I wanted to give it an honest try. I loved jogging with this, and with my son for the first time. From what I could tell, (his face read that he was having the time of his life!) his ride was
very comfortable and it was SO easy to maneuver at different speeds, turns and terrains. It is very thin, while still having plenty of room for him to sit
comfortably, so as I passed people and things I never had the feeling like someone or thing was going to need to move off the path like I do constantly w the wide footprint of our vista.

Overall, there are blaring bells and whistles missing, but the convenience factor is on point and especially for the price!!
