Of course the front wheel doesn't turn. It's a jogging stroller - that's kind of the point. And it's big and bulky, so it takes up a lot of room in the trunk. So no, this is not a good choice if you're driving a Geo and plan on spending your time maneuvering in and out of cramped department store aisles. <br />
<br />
BUT... for jogging trails or bumpy terrain, it's a clear winner. Big fat tires absorb shock well, even on cobblestones! Onboard pump in case the tires are low, too. Works perfectly as a travel system with the car seat - the canopy of the car seat and the canopy of the stroller overlap, so you can protect sensitive eyes on sunny days (and keep nosy strangers from poking and waking a sleeping baby). Buy an extra base if you have two cars - it's totally worth it. <br />

Had this since the baby was born - she's now 6 months old, sitting in the stroller by itself, and loving it.

I had to have a running stroller, and did not want to wait till the baby was 20lbs, so this travel system was a perfect fit. After the first use I was already having trouble keeping air in the tires. They are hard enough to turn but with low air it is a drag! Finally I took the stroller to my local bike shop and they changed the inner tubes in all three tires. The old tubes were cheap, thin and weak. The new ones they installed are heavy duty tubes that can hold 40lbs of pressure. Very tough to puncture and less likely to lose air. With that much more pressure it creates A much better drive. I am pleased with the results.

I have had this stroller for a year and a half, and have thoroughly enjoyed it. It folds up easily. I great for running, walking, and traveling. I get compliments everywhere I go, especially from men, which I find funny. :) It was a great deal for a stroller and carseat. No complaints.

My husband picked out this stroller because he liked the way it looked and we wanted a travel system for our baby. Well it's been nothing but problems. The tires were hard to get on and inflate and the first time I used it the tires fell off!!!!!<br />
<br />
I thought I was going to have to get a new travel system to go with the car seat but luckily Combi makes a stroller that will fit this car seat and can be used for older children also. <br />

The car seat is okay. It was difficult to install and the manual was not much help. I thought that Graco was one of the best manufacturers of baby products, but now I'm not so sure.<br />

You would be better off buying a regular stroller with uninflatable, plastic tires and saving the extra money.

My son is now almost 4 months old now and my husband and I are very happy with this travel system. We find it very convenient to attach the carseat right into the base, that stays strapped into the car, and into the stroller. Newborns sleep a lot and it was nice to move our baby in and out of the car, into the stroller and out, without disruption. We get complimented wherever we go. The only problem I do have with this travel system is that the stroller is very bulky and takes up majority of the trunk space. The stroller is also tricky to manuever, so I don't recommend using it in the mall. But otherwise, great for parks, rocky pathways, and amusement parks. I would recommend this stroller to be very useful.

This is a great middle of the road jog stroller. The travel system is fantastic. I like the plastic wheel rims, because you don't have to worry about rust. The fabric is nice, easy to clean. It's light enough to put away in the trunk, without too much struggle. I also like the smaller wheels. Oh, and it is a smoother ride than those 4 wheelers. This stroller proves that you don't need to spend $300.00 to get a nice jog stroller.

This is a very sturdy stroller. My baby is 11 weeks old now and this is the first jogging stroller I have owned. I haven't tried it on bumpy roads yet, but have tried it out in the stores and restaurants to break it in. One thing I didn't realize when I ordered it is that the front wheel does not unlock like some of the other jogging strollers do -it is frozen like that. I know that helps when going over bumpy terrain, however it makes it more difficult in regular situations. My other stroller I can steer with one hand and it is very lightweight and if the baby is fussy I have no trouble holding her in one arm while pushing my other stroller with my other arm. Just keep in mind with this jogging stroller you have to push down on the back of the stroller to raise the front wheel so you can change direction and steer the stroller. Also, you are not supposed to jog with the infant until the baby is one year old anyway, so the newborn car seat attachment is really only good if you are going to be out with the baby on bumpy rough terrain. I am glad I have a jogging stroller though, for when we go out as a family to parks and events where there is grass and rocks and gravel and perhaps even mud (but also with my husband to push the jogging stroller in case the baby gets fussy and cries to be held). I don't have to ruin my easy to steer regular stroller and get the wheels all dirty. Also, this jogging stroller is very nice for keeping sun and wind away from the baby. When you attach the infant car seat, you can put the hood of the car seat up and also the hood of the stroller at the same time from the other direction and the baby has a nice cozy protected place to rest.

Don't make the mistake of buying this stroller!! 7 months into owning it I went to the beach and a rear tire went flat - the tube inside the tire was what we needed replaced (a $3 item) but Graco only replaces entire wheel assembly for $25 (incl shipping) and to top that off there is a two month wait for the part!!! This from one of the major baby manufacturers!! This stroller was $200 and it is worth nothing to me now. The reason I am givcing it 2 stars is because I liked the car seat and the material of the product. I am so mad at Graco I am not giving them one more dollar of support and I will put that $25 toward another stroller from a different company. Don't think a flat tire won't happen to you - it will!!!

We have good and bad things to say about this system. The infant carrier was one of the lightest. At three months our son reached 16 lbs and still couldn't hold up his head, so he needed to be carried in the carrier. On the other hand, the stroller has had four flat tires in four months, and I am tired of changing intertubes. I did find out that at the local bike shop I can get solid cores for the tires and then not worry about flats again. So, I am on my way to do that. The stroller doesn't turn well, but it is manageable. Once folded up, it is rather large and awkward to handle, but really so are most strollers I tried out. If it weren't for the tires, I would probably rate this higher.

we just relocated to the south w/out a car so we needed something that can handle excessive walking. MOM to the rescue, she seen this stroller and immediately got it for her new grandson who surprised us all by coming 2 months early!! Alot of people compliment me on this stroller, at its uniqueness, and its durability. It also allows me the comfort of walking good distances without struggling with it. *who knows, maybe ill even walk off this before pregnancy weight?!?!? Definantly recommend for the weight conscience, and those who are not, just be prepared for a bulk when folded, and you may even need an extra pair of hands.

I've been using this stroller and travel system for the past 15 months. Overall it is a great value and worth the price. However, my only complaints are that the height of the handles isn't adjustable (it is a little uncomfortable for my 6'4 husband to jog with), and the carseat attachment mechanism is not as sturdy as I'd like. The carseat basically clicks into and rests on the tray and although it never fell out when we used it, I always worried and wouldn't use it when you're baby gets too heavy. I think we stopped clicking the carseat in when my daughter was about 5 months old, but by then we didn't really need that feature anyway. All in all, a good buy that we've been happy with.

This stroller/carseat/baby carrier is fabulous. My 8 month old daughter just outgrew the car seat part of the collection so she now rides in the stroller without the car seat attached. I purchased this stroller for jogging and an additional 4 wheeled stroller for shoppping/indoor use. It's been 8 months and the other stroller is still in the box in the garage! This jogging stroller stays in my car and manuevers through tight spots with just a little coordination. The color is great, the seat looks comfy, my daughter, husband & I love it. Lots of storage space below and bottle holders (3) above. Tons of compliments everywhere we go!

We just suffered a 45mph head-on collision and my 13 week old daughter was in this seat - middle of the back seat (Honda Civic), facing the rear. As the driver, I suffered several injuries even though my seatbelt was on and the airbags deployed, but aside from being scared, my baby had NOTHING wrong with her! This seat may have saved her life (or at least some pain) - she's not even sore. Other seats may function just as well as this one, but all I am saying is that I can VOUCH for this one. PS - the base was NOT installed during impact, we just had it strapped in following the without base directions.

This stroller is too heavy and too bulky. Some of the parts to the stroller and carseat are lost or broken. The wheels do not turn easy.

I LOVED THE WAY THIS LOOKED BUT I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN IT DOWN OFF THE SHELF AND PUSHED IT AROUND FOR 2 SECONDS AND I WOULD HAVE REALIZED WHAT A NIGHTMARE IT WAS. THE FRONT WHEEL NOT TURNING IS SO HARD TO DEAL WITH IN A STORE WITH NARROW ISLES. YOU HAVE TO LIFT IT TO TURN. NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!! ALSO THE STORAGE UNDERNEATH IS VERY SMALL. THE CAR SEAT IS ALSO VERY HEAVY TO CARRY. I AM ACTUALLY ON TARGETS SITE TO BUY A NEW STROLLER
