Graco Metrolite Stroller Review Summary

What do reviewers have to say about the Graco Metrolite Baby Stroller? “It’s just everything you need out of an everyday stroller, and absolutely nothing more.” Minus trendy frills, the Graco Metrolite is described inexpensive, “lightweight“ and “very easy to push” - though it more difficult as baby gets bigger. Able to accommodate those with compact vehicles, the Graco Metrolite is compact and “easy to fold up and load and unload from the trunk.” Many parents note using the Metrolite as “a travel system with the SnugRide car seat” where you can just “slip [the] car seat on top and go.” In the top of the favorite features list is the well padded handle that suits both short and tall parents. “Comparable to the Peg Perego with half the price tag,” with the Graco Metrolite Stroller you get “all the stroller you need without spending too much money.”

The Graco MetroLite stroller still functions wonderfully for my two and a half year old daughter and me, and I am sure it will take us through another year. It isn't the fanciest or trendiest stroller, but I don't think any other model could be as versatile or well-suited to my lifestyle as a busy mom...

I received this stroller at my first baby shower for my first child.  We liked it at first, but then it started having trouble "locking" shut when we opened it.  It would *look* like it was locked, but we'd go for a couple of minutes and it would start folding shut!  Very scary with my baby in it! ... review »

We purchased this stroller in a travel system when we were expecting our son.  He is now 16 months old and we use this weekly.  It stays in the trunk of my car and is easy to fold up and load and unload from the trunk.  It is much lighter than other strollers we tried out.  I also liked the adjustable handle which works well for taller parents.  (I'm 5'9" and my husband is 6')  Another feature I like is the drop down basket so you can access the contents if baby is reclined. 

The only down side to this stroller, is that I see a lot of other people with the same style.  If you want to be...

This is the best stroller! I love that it is smaller than most strollers, so it's not bulky, yet it has all the great features of the big guys. The storage basket is big and I love the adjustable handle. It is easy to buckle, fold and unfold, it's not too heavy, it has a large canopy and it fits a snugride infant carseat. And the best feature of all is that although the basket appears to be hard to get to when the seat is reclined, there is a drop to the back of the basket that makes it accessable. It also works well as your baby gets bigger; my son is one now and he loves his stroller. This truely...

i do not like straps to secure the baby.  there are 4 straps you have to attach to the main buckle and it is very cumbersome, especially when you have a screaming child that you need to strap down and get moving.  the cup holder for the baby is too small to hold his sippy cups.  the cup holders for the parents are adequate sized.  the stroller is compact and light, however the closing mechanism under the handle broke and my husband had to rig it so it will collapse.  the seat is not very comfortable for the child and it does not sit up all the way or lay down all the way.  if i had to do...

I bought this stroller, after extensive comparison shopping.  I was looking for a good stoller, that was light weight, fairly compact and reasonably priced.  I also was not looking to spend alot on it since I will not be having any more children. and I got everything I was looking for in this stroller.  I had experience with my older child and a large, bulky stoller which was such a pain to get in and out of the car, this time around I just didn't want to deal with it.  The metrolite is extremely light, the handle folds to make it easier to fit in the trunk and I have a very rowdy 1 year... review »

My sister bought this stroller when she was having her first child. She also bought an umbrella stroller. Since it was much easier to use the umbrella stoller this stoller only was used when going to walk around the mall or do things like that (which wasnt very often). I say she used the stoller maybe 10-15 times. Then one day we went to take it out of the van so we could walk around the mall and just as I was putting my niece into it the wheel fell off. Thankfully she wasnt hurt but I couldnt believe it! Now we always double check everything on all of our stollers before putting our babies in...

I've actually spoken with strangers about this great deal. The car seat is sold with the stroller, not separately. For around $200 you get both. They are lightweight yet durable and there is a one handed release for easy assembly. We have friends with the same equipment and they would give the same recommendation.

The Graco Metrolite Stroller is an all-around wonderful stroller at a great price.  It is lightweight, easy to fold and unfold, and compact.  I can unfold it and snap it in place with one hand if I have to.  :)  I bought my first one while pregnant with my first child 8 years ago.  I tried all the strollers at Babies R Us and this is what I chose for its' ease of use.  It has anything you will need.  Comfortable, cup and snack holders, cup holder for the adult, adjustable handle which is great for taller people, large basket, reclining seat, large canopy, room for a baby carseat, easy... review »

I got this stroller in the pattern that matches my carseat on Clearance. I paid $79.99 marked down from $119.99. I was very happy to find this bargain!

The first thing that I like about this stroller is that the handle bar is higher, making it more comfortable for taller people to push. Also, the handle bar has very comfortable padding on it.

This stroller is very easy to push, the wheels rotate nicely and I very seldom have a problem with them getting stuck. They also fold in nicely when the stroller is collapsed, making it easy to put away. Recently I accidentally ran over the rear portion of...

I bought this stroller for my son 2 years ago for its lighter weight (18.9 lbs). It has all the comfort of a standard stroller. I like the G collection design and the materials. It has a smooth ride and it is very easy to maneuver. 

Cons: The storage basket is not easily accessible especially if the stroller is reclined although it has lower and load feature. Actually the lever that you lower the basket is always low anymore, it won't snap back to its place. The seat cover is not that easy to remove and to put on. 

Given the price and its cons; I would not recommend this product anymore,...

The Graco Metrolite travel stroller and infant car seat is a wonderful investment.  The infant seat provides secure seating for and infant in a rear facing possition. The base stays in the car and the baby can be lifted out with the infant carrier with a quick push of a button. You then place the carrier and secure the handle down on the Metrolite travel stroller. It is so helpful to not have to disturb and move the baby from the car seat and replace them in the stroller. It is upsetting to have a sleeping baby and then have to relocate them. This infant carrier helped to eliminate this step. ...

I really like my Graco Metrolite Stroller.  I received it as a baby shower gift to match my infant car seat.  It is now on its third year of use and going strong.

It is pretty compact -- fits in my trunk (Ford Focus) very easily -- and is pretty lightweight.  I like that I can use it by either snapping the carseat in directly or just plopping my kid in the seat.  I like that it has three back positions -- fully reclined, semi-reclined and straight up.  This is a big plus since it is now being used by two kids.  It is also super easy to change the back position.

The storage basket is a bit...

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. ...

My husband and I bought this quickly and without doing our homework and as new parents we didn't know all of the little features to look at/check out/compare.

There are a couple of things that I dislike about this stroller so much that I wish I had not bought it.  First of all, the storage underneath is very hard to get to especially if your child is reclined in the seat at all.  It also doesn't seem to be as big as other strollers I have seen since buying this one.

The second and most annoying feature is that this stroller does not secure in an upright position the way that it should.  Even...
