We really enjoy this travel system. Having a car seat that fits into both the base and the stroller allowed us to leave our sleeping daughter undisturbed when moving her in/out of the car. Being off of work for 3 months, I didn't have to feel cooped at home when I could easily take my daughter to the store or the park. As big as the stroller is compared to umbrella strollers, we still prefer to take it, because the diaper bag and other items fit easily underneath, the seat-back folds down (allowing sleep or diaper changes), and it has THREE cupholders, 2 side pockets that can hold other items (burp cloth, bottled water, toys), and a little compartment for sunglasses or cell phone. The basket underneath is accessible hands-free by pressing up or down on the basket with your foot. The stroller fits in the trunk of our compact Saturn 4-door, or if necessary, in the front passenger seat (upside-down to fit in the wide wheels, which are anyway relatively easy to remove). The loaded stroller is easy to guide with one hand, so I can push it if I happen to be carrying my daughter. The stroller is sturdy and smooth enough to take down the street, on paved park paths, and we always use it on the packed sand at the beach (it even works over the brief path over the unpacked sand, if you go backwards). In her car seat in the stroller, she could get complete protection from the sun and light rain with the two canopies, although I found that a draped blanket allowed for more air flow. We took the whole system on a 10-day trip, which included a flight out of town, and I felt like our load was lighter than those we took before our daughter was born. At 6 months, she has just outgrown the car seat (but she's basically off-the-charts in her height/weight), but we still use the stroller now that she can sit up.
Drawbacks, all fairly minor: Not easy to close stroller one-handed. Wheels are wider than the carriage appears from the top, so I'm always banging the wheels on something. It takes a few minutes to remove/replace washable carseat cover, but this is probably necessary due to the straps. As with any carseat, we would suggest getting help by certified people with proper installation of the carseeat in your car; we had many questions on installation, particularly since our car lacked the LATCH system. We purchased a second base so we didn't have to remove the one in our car for our trip or for our babysitter's car.

I put this stroller system on my registry and we've been using it since my son was born last year. He is now 11 months and still fits in the infant carrier. We like that the carrier can be used in multiple cars so we bought an extra base. The stroller height seems great for my husband (6'2") and for me (5'8"). We don't feel like we are hunched over when pushing it.
The stroller seems like it folds very compactly, but it still doesn't fit into my VW Cabrio trunk (the trunk opening is just a bit small). So we use it with my husband's car and we are thinking about getting a compact stroller that will fit in my car.
My major complaint is with using the stroller without the infant carrier. Now that my son is older and wants to see everything around him, he doesn't like to recline. The back is adjustable, but we can't get it to be fully upright, so he is always at a 20 degree angle recline. He has started pulling himself forward and leaning on the tray. It is OK for now, but I think he'll start to get annoyed and tired when sitting forward like this.
Overall I would recommend this stroller system.
Great! May 9, 2005

I received this as a baby shower gift from my Mom and love it! It is so easy to manuever, you can do it with one hand. The stroller has ample space for bags, purse, etc. below and side pockets for cell phone or smaller items. The drink cup holders for mom and baby are a plus. The material is so pretty and the colors are great. The best feature is how the system allows you to completely protect the baby, should you get stuck in the rain or other bad weather. I would highly recommend this item.
Very satisfied with this stroller! July 12, 2005

We've been using this stroller for our baby girl for abt 2 weeks now and this is just a perfect stroller. Its got good grip and wheels are big so moves nicely. Car-seat goes in and comes out in a snap. Folding this stroller is easy - cant say it can be done with one hand but doesnt take much effort and you dont have to sweat it out while closing/opening.
Has canopy on Car-seat as well as the main stroller, together both give a complete cover from rain/wind.

The Graco Passage Travel System is definitely one of the best stroller/car seat combos around. Once you've got the base installed in your vehicle (which did take me a little time), the car seat easily pops in and out. The 5-point harness is excellent as well. The stroller is great for two key reasons: 1) The car seat snaps into it easily and stays put. 2) Once the child gets a little bigger, the stroller can still be used to tote them around. The stroller is also set at a nice heighth. As another reviewer stated, I don't feel as if I'm hunched over to move the stroller. It also moves very smoothly, making the ride a lot nicer for the child.
The only knocks I have against this set is that the base was a bit hard to install in my car and the stroller doesn't collapse as easily as I was initially lead to believe. Other than these two miniscule problems, I'd have to say that this travel system is one of the best on the market.
I highly recommend it.
