Graco - FastAction Fold Jogger Travel System

I was going to post this too. It's enormous. It's great and well made, but no way I'm bringing this on an airplane or lugging it around a foreign city. We bought a Graco fold up that fits in an overhead compartment. Frankly, I keep that one in my car and use it around town as I just can't be bothered to dismantle a Vista every time I put it in the trunk. The Vista stays in our garage for walks from home. Or my wife uses it around town.

I have the Graco FastAction Fold Jogger Travel system, and I DO NOT RECOMMEND it. The tires seem to lose air very quickly, and the front tire does lock, but it goes sideways way to easily and gets stuck. It's good for different terrain, but it's an annoying stroller.

First 3 months — in no certain order! 1) my breast friend pillow - helped with positioning a tiny newborn to breastfeed 2) SO MANY burp cloths - I love the cheaper muslin ones 3) a carrier that you and your partner can easily use - my husband loves the baby bjorn and I love the boba wrap 4) the spectra s1 5) we love our inexpensive/lightweight/easy to use car seat/stroller system — Graco Snugride LX. We took walks every day and it was great for my mental health! 6) lots of diapers and wipes 7) a bunch of two way zip sleepers For us — that’s about all we needed to survive!

FTM and couldn’t convince myself that I need to spend over $1000. We went with the Graco FastAction Jogger LX travel system. It’s about $700 on Amazon and includes infant car seat. It’s on the bigger side compared to other strollers but idc tbh, it folds up super easy but it’s a bit heavy but nothing you can’t handle. It’s great for all terrain (I still need to test it out in the snow). The storage bin underneath is really big and it comes with cup holders. It’s great for walks with my dog! I think cons are it’s bigger so not ideal in super tight spaces - like I don’t love bringing it to the mall, it’s fine but just tight in some small stores, I’d rather just put him in my mabe carrier. I also don’t think this model is compatible with their bassinet add on, but I personally think the bassinets are a money grab and not necessary. Graco is a great brand so maybe even look into their other models too if you want something smaller

Also another con is it’s not great for like air travel bc it’s so big, I mean you could since it folds up fine but personally I’ll be buying a cheaper umbrella stroller for air travel.

Yes, I love having carseat compatibility with my stroller! We have the Graco snug ride snug fit DLX with the Graco Fastaction Jogger, we've used this with both kids and I love the ease it folds up, and the "real" tires which helps on all terrain. We also have the Cyber Gazelle with Graco adapter, because we have 2 under 2 and sometimes need the double stroller option. This stroller is so smooth and turns really easily even with one hand but is not so great in loose rocks or dirt. It really isn't a big deal to pop the carseat in to the stroller at home or get baby ready in the carseat and then take him out to the garage to pop it in when we go for walks. I like it because he then faces me, plus most strollers are not recommended until at least 6 months of age on their own so you either need to use a carseat or one with a bassinet attachment.

We started with the Graco fast action jogger. That thing was a beast and because it used actual bicycle wheels they rolled smooth and held up to grass, curbs, dirt paths etc. Once we had our second we got the Graco Duo glider. Another great stroller that held up to 3 kids (we usually had 2 in the stroller and sometimes 1standing on the footpad in the back. Both strollers are on the heavier side but both are still being passed through the friend group. I think the double is on its 3rd set of kids. We eventually got the wonderful 4 seater with upgraded wheels. It's nice and I wish we went to that after the jogger just so we got more use out of it. If you plan on having multiple kids, consider the wagon if you have the space.

Neat graphic! I ignored all suggestions, got the cheap Graco Fast Action Jogger, and it has done just fine 😆

Another Graco fan. We got the fast action jogging stroller and we can use it with the car seat, it’s very smooth, and it’s well put together. It is heavy though and we live in a walk up apartment so we picked up the ready 2 jet for quick trips and it’s been great also. Not necessarily an all-day, going to be outside for hours situation but for running errands and shorter walks it’s easy to handle, folds into a shape that’s manageable with one hand, and light enough that I can easily manage it and the bucket seat at the same time up the stairs.

We use the Graco FastAction Jogger Stroller. It fits in our little car and I like unclicking her car seat from the base in the car straight to the stroller, and I can keep using it as she gets bigger. I was lucky though and had a bunch of gift cards from the baby shower and got the stroller and the seat on sale.

When I got pregnant with my son we were gifted a Graco jogger stroller travel system. I hated that thing, it wouldn’t turn for crap and the infant car seat carrier had almost nothing to support his head. Once we started trying for a second baby I found an Uppababy vista with accessories for two kids for $500 and pulled the trigger. I love it and wish I would have gone with that from the start.
