Convenient, comfortable, but bulky
on January 17, 2019
Posted by: Jwolpe
I received this stroller through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The Grace FastAction Stroller was really simple to assemble. It took me about 15-20 minutes to put it together. It is very heavy and it doesn’t fold up super compact but it fits in the back of my mini van without a problem. It easily unfolds and folds back up which is very convenient when getting it out or putting it away. I took it on a few 2-3 mile jogs and my daughter was very comfortable in the seat. It does tend to rattle a little during the run but overal it glides nicely on the road and track. I will definitely use it for future jogs with my daughter as well as on wake and while running errands. The only reason I gave it four stars and not five is because of how much space it takes when folded and how heavy it is.

My Favorite Jogger!
on January 17, 2019
Posted by: Charlee786
I love this jogger!!! I was so excited to receive and try out the Graco FastAction Jogger LX and when it arrived, it did not disappoint! Assembly was pretty easy, except attaching the canopy to the parent cup holder; the snaps kept unbuttoning every time I moved to the other snap. I eventually got them both snapped, and the rest was a breeze! I was able to assemble the entire stroller within half an hour while my 1 year old played right next to me (and tried to help). Once it was fully assembled, I couldn’t wait to take it for a spin! I strapped my 1 year old in and off we went! This stroller glides like a dream! I love how smooth the ride is! My husband loves the nice, sturdy bicycle tires which definitely make maneuvering through different terrains much easier! We had some snow fall during my trial period with this jogger and it handled the snow like nothing! I was able to push through unshoveled sidewalks and icy streets with no problems whatsoever. My son was completely relaxed the entire ride, and even though he never napped, I tested out how easily his seat would recline and it just requires a little loosening of a strap on the back and pushing down on the seat, and he could easily nap! Then when he wakes up, you just pull that strap nice and snug and the seat goes back up to a sitting position, nice and quick! Another feature that I thought was pretty cool was a tether that you can attach to your wrist while jogging so if you slip or lose control, the stroller stops with you. This was a nice feature that I’m sure many people can appreciate! I also like the large basket underneath that was large enough to hold my diaper bag plus any shopping bags or groceries that I acquired! It’s seriusly so big! I had plenty of room for anything I needed and never had to worry about anything falling out or getting in the way of the jogger or my feet. Once we get home, this thing folds up so easily and is so easy to store! There is one strap under the seat cushion that you pull up and the entire stroller collapses on itself and locks shut! I was able to fold it with one hand! It has a small snap on the side that automatically locks and keeps the stroller nice and folded so you don’t have to worry about it opening back up while in storage, but it is super easy to unsnap and unfold when ready for use again. I was worried that it would be bulky, but it’s no bigger than any other jogger I’ve seen and it fits in the back of my Nissan Murano, no problem! I would absolutely recommend this stroller to anyone in the market! Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this amazing jogging stroller!

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
Posted by: Krissy526
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
Posted by: pnj203
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!
