Graco Quattro Tour (Ultralite) —
I bought one of these from Babies R Us when the GracoMetroLite Stroller kept collapsing on our baby. The Quattrotour was bigger and heavier, but still fit fine in the back of our station wagon, and was very sturdy. I LOVED it. It has a HUGE basket at the bottom for shopping, fairs, etc., It sits up or lies flat--my kids slept in it many times. I took it into the airport with me when traveling by air alone with my daughter (18 months at the time) and her enormous Britax Marathon. I was able to have the seat rest in the basket and tuck in behind the handle. I had them gate-check it and it was very easy.When I had my second daughter, I often just pulled it out of the station wagon and let it snap open by itself. This was hard on it, and it started to look it. I also regularly took it to the hike and bike trail for long walks. I would fold the seat down flat, then let both kids sit in it while we walked around the rocky trail. Eventually, something on it broke, and since we were moving, we thought we didn't need another stroller. However, I then found out that I'd be traveling with BOTH kids by air--TWO enormous Britax carseats! I went out and bought another Quattrotour right away, and used it for the flight. I was able to put one carseat resting in the basket and the handle, have both girls ride in the flat seat, and carry the other carseat strapped to the rolling carry-on. It was not easy, but managable due to this stroller. My girls are six and four now, and we don't use it often, but it's still handy for carnivals and large outdoor events. We even had my six year old, her six year old friend, and my four year old riding in it all together the last time we went to the zoo.
Now a word from my six year old daughter: I really liked it. It's not that comfortable when my sister is also riding in it, but it's better than walking when I'm tired or getting sand in my shoes from walking. I don't really like the thing that goes over your head because I'm so tall that my head hits it. It's good for carrying water bottles or jackets or umbrellas or even toys. There's just one problem. If you bring little toys, they may get lost because it's a big stroller. I just really like it.
