Graco FastAction Jogger LX-Stylish,Yet Functional
on January 19, 2019
Posted by: PERSONALINSIGHTS
The design of the Graco FastAction Jogger LX Stroller is absolutely genius. It has well thought out features. At first glance it looks like it could be difficult to maneuver-but it is not difficult at all. It is very easy to maneuver. The stroller is a highly durable, yet very compact jogger stroller that was easy for me to be able to carry and store. Just pull the covered strap upward, located near the padded seating, and the stroller easily collapses and automatically locked into place for storage.
The side locking mechanism easily lifts up in order to re-open the stroller.
Not only is it functional and spacious, it is an attractive looking stroller that is well engineered. I love the spacious, plush padded seating area because it looks so comfortable and cozy for our little one. It was not a problem for me to adjust the seating to varying positions. It's a relatively perfect jogger stroller for colder weather; and yet it also has built-in features designed for warmer weather. The maneuverability of this stroller is unbelievable! I was actually able to maneuver the stroller with no difficulty. The wheels glide effortlessly. The wheels are like mini-tires with safety reflectors on it.

Great activity stroller
on January 19, 2019
Posted by: TAsh88
I received the Graco FastAction Jogger LX Stroller from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The stroller makes for a great walking and light activity stroller, perfect for walks, shopping, and outdoor activities. It is also a serviceable running stroller, but if used mostly for running, leaves some things to be desired.
PRO:
• The stroller is light weight making it easy to push when extended and easy to carry around when folded.
• The stroller is more compact and narrow then typical jogging stroller, allowing for easy maneuvering into tighter spots, and it does not take up much space in a trunk.
• The folding mechanism is easy to use.
• The seat sits up high providing better view for child.
• Large storage compartment underneath.
CON:
• Because of narrowness, did not feel stable while at jog or run. Was concerned about tipping during tight turns.
• Front wheel lock mechanism is located above wheel, which makes locking and unlocking during run inconvenient.
• Easy fold mechanism lock seems somewhat flimsy. I would be concerned that this would wear after extended use.
• Some difficult assembling stroller (button snaps in rear of head area would not reach).
Overall, this is a great active stroller and makes for an average but servicable running stroller.

Twin mom loves this single stroller!
on January 20, 2019
Posted by: emmagpatterson
This is a great overall jogging stroller. I have 8 month old twins, so when I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I was a little concerned how I would get any use out a single stroller. After using it for awhile, I can now see all of the possibilities! I can take one twin out on a jog if they're getting fussy. As they grow, I can take this with us just in case one twin decides they're too tired to walk.
It's incredibly lightweight and fits into my trunk much better than my double stroller. My twins are JUST big enough to use the toddler seat and they have a blast in it. The 5 point harness is secure and I know they are safe in it. I love the reclining option, so they can take a nap if they need to.
I wish the assembly instructions were a little more clear. There were more pictures than words, and I needed more concise instructions on some parts. It took me awhile to assemble.
What really surprised me was how easy it was to fold. There's a little strap in the toddler seat that you just have to pull up on and it folds up completely and latches! Like I mentioned before, its incredibly light weight and folds up relatively small. Its easy for me to pick up and put in my trunk.
I love the adjustable handle. I'm 4'11" and I have issues sharing strollers with my 6'2" husband. We are both able to use this stroller comfortably. Switching over the handle is incredibly simple!
The swivel front wheel is AMAZING, and allows you to turn on a dime. It is however difficult to lock and unlock unless you're on the ground looking at the mechanism. It's just hard to do from feel alone.
Overall, I love this stroller and the pros well outweigh the cons. I can't wait to keep using this stroller as my twins age!

Quick assemble, easy to maneuver
on January 20, 2019
Posted by: Jphan23
I've always wanted a jogging stroller, but I couldn't justify getting a jogging instead of a travel system stroller. Little did I know a jogging travel system was available. I wish I would have gotten this one. I'm able to maneuver it easily and it is so easy to open and close. I could not easily open and close my current one while holding my little one, but with this one I can do it with ease. I love the adjustable handle, the peek a boo window, and the parent/child snack tray. A lot of the strollers in the market, when I was looking only had either or, so it's great that this one has both and the cost is so reasonable. My daughter looked so comfortable in there even though I was jogging on non smooth surfaces at times. She did not complain or cry out at all. I also love how compact it is when folded and the side snap to hold it in place when closed is a plus. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this Jogging Stroller!

Smooth ride
on January 20, 2019
Posted by: Glowbug01
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this Jogging Stroller. We previously had a jogging stroller and we're in love with them. Once we receive this stroller, there were things that I really enjoyed compared to the other one, and things that I feel could use some tweaking, at least for our family. I love the fact that the basket is so far away from the seat that when we put her diaper bag in the basket, it does not touch her. Also, the basket is incredibly large! We could easily fit her giant diaper bag, both of my husbands and my jacket, her blanket, and her little tiny backpack that she likes to carry. Due to the basket size and distance from the seat, she was able to ride comfortably without anyting pushing her up or forward. I also enjoy the size of the wheels as it feels like it provides a smoother ride. When we do happen to go over bumps, it doesn't jostle her around, as it does with our previous jogger. The ability to collapse it with one hand is amazing and pulling it when one smooth motion was truly helpful. Any product that aims to make a parent's life easier with less motions or actions required, is fantastic in my book, and this product definitely helps with that. I will say though, the trays to hold your items, felt a bit lacking as the tray that holds the your miscellaneous items for seems quite small and there's nothing to really protect it from falling out, looking at you cell phone, especially if you're jogging. The tray for the kiddos also left me feeling a little underwhelmed and nervous, as I feared when snapping in the tray, I may catch her finger. Now, we are very careful when we snapit in. I do like the fact that she can fully recline so if she does need to take a nap, she is able to comfortably. Thankfully, because of the height of the seat, she is never missing out on anything when she is sitting upright. All I know I would give this a four out of five due to the convenience, along with comfort for both parent and child, but there could be a few small tweaks, to make this a 5/5.

A very dependable and nice jogging stroller!
on January 22, 2019
Posted by: JulieRogs
As a part of a WeeSpring parent panel I was able to use and review this great jogger. We live in a rural area in the foothills outside of Denver so our neighborhood is rocky, bumpy and mountainous. I'm basing my review on that as well as loading it up to go walk and also run errands one day. It seems to handle "off road" environments quite well. The tires are large and extremely sturdy. It was easy to assemble and I find it folds down and back up quite easily. I would note that this jogger felt big to me as compared to others that I've tried of friends. It's a bit on the heavy side as far as when I needed to load and unload a number of times from our vehicles. It fits fine in our Rav4, however again it does feel a bit on the bigger side. Once in a jogging area with pavement, I found this jogger to be fantastic!! It runs smooth and my 15 month old has seemed to be happy with it too. It offers really good storage space underneath and has cup holders for parent and child which I like. Aesthetically I love that it's crisp but neutral and looks very sleek.

Feels Great! Looks Great!
on January 22, 2019
Posted by: Gypsyfairy
I love the feel of this stroller. It has a very smooth ride and the tires ensure a fairly bump free ride. Baby was loving the ride. I have a graco three wheel stroller which is great for basic trips but this jogger is perfect for more adventurous outings. Out of the box it was fairly simple to assemble. I have to mention the harness straps were quite difficult to reposition to a higher setting. But otherwise an easy setup. I love the height of the seat and the adjustable handle for pushing. Folds up super easy and also easy to open. Not as light as my basic graco stroller but that is to be expected. I was still able to get it in and out of my trunk fairly easily. I like the little feature on the handlebar which keeps it from getting dirty or damaged in the standing position when folded. The infant car seat clicks into the stroller easily and is easily removed. Love the mesh back and sides for air circulation. Without the infant car seat the toddler seat is quite comfortable. The canopy is quite generous. I like the option to remove the tray. It does seem a bit far away from my baby at one year. But I suppose the distance will be better as she gets older. And I LOVE the roomy storage basket underneath. Lots of room which is so important. There are two foot breaks, which are necessary. I find the stroller drifts away easily if not in break mode. Steering feels good as well although there is a slight pull. I have only used it with the front wheel unlocked. Overall a really nice stroller. Feels great and looks great!! Can’t wait to use it on more adventures! Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this Jogging Stroller.

This running mama loves this jogger!
on January 22, 2019
Posted by: Peabboud
As a mom who loves to run, I’ve been looking for a jogging stroller that is functional, is easy to use and won’t cost a small fortune. The Graco FastAction Jogger LX does that and more! My 1 year old baby girl was super comfortable in the seat and did not seem to be jarred by my running over rough terrain! What I really love is the FastAction folding mechanism- it’s very easy to use and the stroller folds just like that! It’s also very simple to open and I didn’t feel like I had to fight with it. The stroller is very functional and I like that the front wheel is not fixed. What I really love are the extra deep cup holders for mom and the generous storage basket- nothing is flying out of those cup holders! The only reason I gave the stroller 4 stars is because it is quite heavy even though it is relatively compact... that being said, it’s a pretty sturdy jogger so it’s expected. I’ll take easy to store but heavy any day. Thanks to weeSpring parent panel for providing me with this jogger!
