Review on πŸ‘Ά Graco FastAction Fold Jogging Stroller, Gotham: Efficient & Convenient 40x24x42 Inch Stroller (Pack of 1) by Andrew Griggs

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Finally a stroller for a big baby.

After trying several strollers I decided on this one because my son is big and only 2.5 years old so I wanted to find one that lasts more than 5 minutes (at least he feels the speed at which he growing lol). had a graco trax but i had to return it because it wouldn't stand up when folded and its design wouldn't fit in my trunk (impala) without removing all the wheels (like they designed the stand). I tried a few much more expensive store bought babies and babies for us but most of them were 40-42 inches. My son is already 37.5. This one reaches 45 inches in size and weighs up to 50 pounds. This gives my son a lot more room to grow and I can even lean him back when he falls asleep. It folds down in a second with one hand, which is nice, and I don't have to take any of it off to fit in my trunk. My son seems to like it too. I don't jog, so I can't say how it will be, but I can walk long distances. What I really like about the stroller is the great folding system, the automatic locking and the upright position when folded, I also love the large canopy with the ventilated sides. If you have a smaller smartphone the phone part will do, but I have a zte x blade with a 6 inch screen so it's too big for it. I also like the food tray for my son, he has two cup holders. and a place for snacks and he can put his books down and look at them while shopping. Another thing I really like is that it has reflective panels (like you see on bikes) on both rear wheels and both sides. snack tray. It also has a very large basket so fits in my large diaper bag, I also like the footrest and maneuverability. I would give it 5 stars but the only downside is if you are shorter than me (5'3) it will appear to be a very large stroller as well as 30lbs. Some days she doesn't seem heavy, her weight is the same as my son's right now, and some days she seems heavier. So I wish the handle was adjustable (it's not), another thing I would wish would be to put UV protection in the hood, they have that in the modes and the track model so I know that it is possible. All in all I am very happy with this stroller so far. I recommend if your child is Houdini like mine you can get the chest clamp from Diono Lock Tite Harness, it was a bit of a hassle to put on but at least with this stroller it's very doable and well worth it. My son can't wriggle out of the harness and lean out or try to get up like in previous strollers and was comfortable enough to sleep in when he fell asleep in the car. Another thing I really like is the seat recline, it's not the pull straps that a lot of strollers have that I find painful, this one actually has a handle that you pull from the back. to lower the seat (it doesn't go completely flat, at about a 45 degree angle I'd say). So don't put your baby in this stroller without being in the car seat, it has a click connection system.
