Graco Metrolite Stroller Review

I'm not usually brand conscious, but I've become such a Graco mom!  It's a brand I trust and so far none of their items have let me down.  I love the Metrolite stroller, both with the Snugride carseat and without.  When my guy was tiny, it was great to be able to snap his carseat directly into the stroller.  I loved being able to go from home to car to store and back without waking him up.  Now that he's a big guy, the stroller is still great.  It's comfy for him, easy to use, and easy on me to push.  I like how easily it pivots and how much I can store underneath it when I'm shopping.  I didn't like a lot of the prints it came in, but I do like the nice neutral grey I ended up with.  The only real downsides are that I find it a little bit heavy (can't believe it's considered compact) and a little bit of a pain to set up each time (lots of steps to set up and then fold up when done).  So, I sometimes just grab my $20 umbrella stroller instead for quick trips.
