Graco - FastAction™ Fold Jogger Click Connect™ Travel System

We did the Graco Click-Connect Jogger stroller and it still had lots of life left after 2 babies. It even fit in the hatch of our Prius if we removed the front wheel. Definitely recommend.

I have that system, with the jogging stroller? I've only taken it out a few times in the snow but it seems okay. We also got a wagon with skis for Christmas and have used that a bit just in the yard and stuff! Good luck with baby, hope everything progresses well!

If you want something that will be good on a walking trail, I’d suggest a jogging stroller. Look for a travel system specifically as those include a car seat. I had the graco fast action jogging travel system with my first and it was less than $400. If you want something with a bassinet attachment or that converts for more kids, it’s going to cost more.

With my first we got the Graco Jogger LX with the Graco Snugride Snugfit DLX carseat and loved this combo. We still love this stroller - easy to fold, love that it has air filled rubber tires. We are expecting #2 with a 15 month age gap so needed to upgrade our stroller to accommodate and bought the Cyber Gazelle after much research. It has an adapter so we can still use the Graco carseat and will buy a second seat once #2 gets a little bigger. It had one of the higher weight limits for the second seat and good reviews on being able to steer it with two children. Magically saw the black on sale for $350 last week on Amazon, will receive on Thursday!

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.

I'm curious about why you say Graco is junk. I got a 7 year old Graco jogger hand-me-down from my sister and ended up buying have 2 other Graco travel strollers to connect with the Graco carseat. While I don't rave about them, I wouldn't go so far to say they are junk. I'd probably give them 3.5-4 stars depending on the model.

I can see that. My star reductions for my Gracos travel strollers would be less ease when pushing on uneven surfaces for the travel strollers because both occasionally have trouble on uneven surfaces and a wheel will catch, but it's not so frequent that I hate the strollers. The jogger is much better because of bigger wheels, but it's a beast (takes up the whole trunk when folded up, it's big in crowds) and has issues due to its age (wobbly front wheel now & it's missing it's tray- but again, it's a 7 year old stroller used for 3 kids). If I hadn't been given the hand-me-down, I probably would have gone with an Uppababy, but since we have all the Graco gear now, we can't justify the price of a new stroller that won't connect to our car seat or bassinet. (although if we see a secondhand deal, we may try purchase one).

We are on baby #2 with our Graco jogger stroller and Graco ready 2 jet compact stroller. The carseat clicks into both and they both accommodate my 3 year old well. The jogger has been on frequent walks for 3 years now including the rough dirt road at our cabin, it’s great. My first absolutely hated the infant car seat so we ended up transitioning him out of the infant seat early, so grateful we didn’t spend an arm and a leg on the infant seat but it still worked just fine for 2 kids.

I second this. Graco is a clunky cheap stroller (had it with my first). Tried the Graco jogger and infinitely better than most of the others in their line, good for grass and soil/dirt etc. This one will constantly get stuck in the dirt. But the jogger might be your saving grace. Might be worth looking into.second hand on FB Marketplace.  Where i got mine

Budget matters… I am mid-tier budget so I’ll give you my two suggestions. IMHO I don’t think you need a swivel infant seat since the handle on the pumpkin is easy to maneuver into the base. I would save on the swivel for now and use that money for a nicer car seat when your child is older (1 year +). I also LOVE having a jogger stroller when comparing it to my friends with 4 wheels. I can maneuver stores, parks, grass, festivals much easier than my friends with the fancy mockingbirds. Main negative to my stroller is it’s heavy, but I’m strong 💪🏼. Diaper bag isn’t a big deal, I recommend backpack style though as it’s easy to carry both it and my child. https://a.co/d/3Li9Bqb - travel system… I got mine for $270 though so not sure why it’s so pricy right now. Maybe wait until Black Friday sales if you can and use your 15% discount from the baby registry. https://a.co/d/6lxOrNq - diaper bag… damn prices have raised 🥲 but I love my bag, it’s easy to see the bottom of the bag, lots of areas for various supplies, etc https://a.co/d/gNfzDnj Added suggestion… Baby Carrier - Tula FTG. It’s a splurge but something I used everyday from basically 4 weeks to 15 months. I still put her in it for long days as a backpack style at 20 months.

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

We went with the Graco Fast Action or whatever their jogging stroller is and it handles our crummy sidewalks, and grass, and the beach, like a champ. We use the travel stroller for short trips but I’m glad we didn’t go with the travel system and did this instead. It fits the car seat beautifully.
