Great stroller but limited functionality
on January 18, 2019
Posted by: Schroedsrach
My review of this stroller was severely diminished by the fact that one of our tires came damaged in the box and would not stay inflated for more than 12 hours with a can of fix a flat. The stroller works well and is functional as a stroller. I love the way it folds up quickly and compactly with little effort. I did not love the way I needed to disassemble the canopy/seat area in order to get my car seat to lock in. When traveling, we like to utilize both functionalities at once and this made me not want to travel with it. If I have it completely formed, the car seat doesn’t lock in. If I take the insides out, I need to pack them separately in order to use it as a jogging stroller on my trip. When using the stroller, I love the smooth ride & large canopy. I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Easy compact strolling
on January 18, 2019

I would like to thank the Stelkar Product Testing Panel for the opportunity to review the Grace FastAction Jogger LX Stoller. All opinions are my own. When I received the box I was very excited to open it and put it to use. It came in about 3 pieces mostly the wheels needed to be attached. I loved how easy it was to put together (attach the wheels). I really like the bigger size wheel on strollers as we don’t always follow a path when out and about. It was so easy to fold up and set up that I could do it while holding my toddler. Way easier than others I’ve had. It folds to a very manageable size to move around and being 6 months pregnant am so excited that I don’t have to struggle moving and storing it. Both of my kids were so excited to try out their new wheels. The easy stroll with it made it fun for my daughter to give her brother a ride. The canopy is amazing in size and I don’t have to worry about the sun getting them if they fall asleep. Highly recommend this to anyone who goes out and about with kids. The multi position reclining seat is awesome as they take naps and dont have to worry about their necks getting sore.

Great jogging stroller, easy to use and convenient
on January 18, 2019
Posted by: cklowe2285
Note: Product was received as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel
I have 3 kids and this is my first product from Graco. I must say, I was quite surprised by how much I liked it. The stroller was convenient, easy to use and my 7 month old seemed comfortable in it.
Functionality: This stroller was perfect for taking the kids to the park, the large basket on the bottom held our jackets, water bottles, toys and snacks...and still had more space! The stroller was very easy to put together, which I admit, I didn't use the manual. However, I did review the manual afterwards to make sure I did it correctly. The stroller was smooth to push and easy to maneuver. This isn't a deal breaker, but if the seat was adjustable to have my son facing towards me, I would feel more comfortable running with him so the wind isn't blowing in his face. There is a large sun cover, but it would be nice if the cover can be adjustable to cover his face from the wind or like I said, be able to adjust the seat
Storage: The stroller was easy to open and collapse. There is a strap under the seat which you pull and the whole stroller collapse, very simple. As for the storage, it is quite large, I would prefer the stroller to be smaller. With that said, I have an SUV, this stroller would take up half my trunk space. I plan to keep this stroller at home to use for walks and the park.
Overall, I am impressed by the quality, ease of use and comfort of this product.

What a smooth ride!
on January 18, 2019
Posted by: jwied414
I received this stroller from the Stellar Product Testing Panel as a weeSpring Parent Panelist. And I LOVE this stroller! The overall look of the stroller is great, love the color and style. My husband was able to easily put it together in minutes. The size of the stroller is nice -- it has an adjustable handle for height, large basket underneath and folds up more compactly than I thought it would. It is a little heavier than the sport version, but I still could easily get it in and out of the back of my SUV. That's the only reason I knocked 1 star off my review, if it was a little lighter, it'd be 5 stars for sure. But what I love most about this stroller is how smooth it was to push around outside. Even through unshoveled snow covered sidewalks! And the canopy is large enough to completely cover the babe and shielded her from the cold/wind. It made being outside in the cold enjoyable. The click connect car seat fits perfectly - I couldn't wait to go on a walk the next day. You could use it inside easily for shopping too, it maneuvers really well.

Great and Affordable Jogger!
on January 18, 2019
Posted by: awalker
The Graco FastAction Jogger LX stroller is a great jogging stroller for anyone looking to have a jogging stroller but not spend tons of money. It is very affordable for all that you get and functions great too! It maneuvers easily, has good tires for different terrain, and the fabric also holds up well. I really like that the front wheel can swivel or lock for jogging. It's also really nice to have the option of clipping a car seat on while your baby is an infant. You can also remove the stroller seat which helps keep it in nice condition! The canopy has great coverage and I enjoy having the peek-a-boo flap, however, I wish there was a way for it to stay in place, either Velcro or magnet would be nice. Another great feature is that if comes with parent cup holders and a child snack/cup tray also! No need to buy after the fact. The storage basket underneath is amazing! So much space if you need to bring along a diaper bag, blankets, or even shopping bags. The stroller folds fairly easily, although it is pretty heavy (like most jogging strollers) and would be hard to do while holding a baby. I wouldn't recommend this as your primary stroller if you plan to take it in and out of a car often. It's also still pretty large once folded up. It is a great stroller to have for walks/jogs in a neighborhood, taking to the zoo or other events, and even various terrains that a regular stroller wouldn't handle well. My toddler loves the stroller and doesn't want to get out after we go on walks! We have been so happy to test and review this stroller thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel!

Great stroller with lots of great features
on January 18, 2019

I was given this Jogging Stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
The Stroller is easy to assemble with very clear and simple directions. It is very sturdy and has a very large storage basket under the seat. Love that you can recline the seat and it is quick and easy to do. Other great features are the adjustable handle so that people of different heights can comfortably use it, the locking front wheel, and the large canopy with peek-a-boo window. It has a parents tray which is great but I wish it had either a closed compartment on this tray or a zippered pocket somewhere on the jogger to ensure that you have a safe place to hold your belongings.
The best parts of this Jogging Stroller is the easy one hand fold and the fact that it stands up easily on its own when folded. The plastic lock on the stroller (to keep it folded) does not seem very sturdy but only time will tell. The stroller does not seem to take up as much room as other Jogging strollers which is a plus when storing and when having to put it into the car. It is a bit heavy but that can only be expected. Overall I would definitely recommend this stroller!

Quick and easy - fold and go!
on January 18, 2019
Posted by: sly194
I was given this product to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I really like the great new design, which makes the stroller easier for us to fold it up and get it in and out of the car. I was glad to see the stroller folds easily and I’m able to assemble it myself. The compatibility with the car seat makes it more versatile and convenient. The only part of the design I didn’t like was that the stroller does not have a kickstand to allow you to stand the stroller up when folded. Otherwise, the stroller is fantastic for traveling and transporting since it is so lightweight and compact. With 2 kids under the age of 2, having a stroller that I can fold up quickly and easily is extremely helpful. I can almost fold this stroller up one-handed!

Pleased

I received this product for free from the Stellar Product Testing Panel but my review is 100% my own and are my true feelings on the product. First, I want to start by saying I've never had or used a jogger stroller before so I can not compare to other products. I decided to put the stroller together without the assistance of my husband (who is very handy). It was incredibly easy to put together and the instructions were very easy to follow. The one handed pull strap and fold is easy and quick and I love how the stroller stands up after its folded. (And its very sturdy once closed as my baby was pulling on it and it did not tip). It is also easy to unfold, its light weight, and its pretty compact. It fits easily in my Subaru trunk. I love the huge basket underneath and the window in the canopy to see my child through. I would prefer if the canopy had UV protection but it does not. Adjusting the straps to fit my 38 lbs toddler should have been very easy (and will be from now on) but the seat came with the straps adjustment buckle pulled all the way through and it was not easy to pull back through. Now that the straps are in the right way, it will be easy to switch between my two children. My least favorite part of this stroller is the clipping mechanism. I am an on-the-go mama and I like an easy clip. Not only do the pads on the straps fall off constantly or get in my way while trying to clip, you need to slide one piece into another in order to then clip into place. Next, as I stated before, since I am a novice jogger stroller mama, I wasn't sure whether the front wheel was supposed to be fixed or swivel when running. The safety note on the canopy let me know it needs to be fixed. Knowing this, if you DON'T fix it, the stroller can easily tip at faster speeds, especially if you are only holding it with one hand. Its going to take getting used to lifting the front wheel for turns, but with any jogger, there is this same learning curve. On the move, my 3 year old said she loved how it felt and I could feel there was some great suspension and springy-ness. I like that you can easily move from fixed to unfixed by moving the lock under the front wheel. However, nowhere in the instruction manual does it tell you that to lock into fixed position, the wheel must be straight so that the piece can slide into a hole. You can move the red locking piece back and forth but it will only truly lock if it goes into the actual hole. In the unfixed position when walking, the stroller moves really nicely and easily but id recommend holding with two hands when turning so the back wheels don't lift up/tip. Overall, I think this is a good-looking, light weight, easy jogger stroller and I am looking forward to jogging regularly with it.
