Graco’s strengths in stroller design include their popular travel systems (such as the Graco CoachRider Chauffeur), their equally popular full-sized strollers (the Graco Quattro, Graco MetroLite) and some of their two-seated strollers (Graco’s DuoGlider and DuoRider). Although parents frequently purchase a Graco as their first stroller—perhaps, because of brand familiarity, once their child/ren gain enough weight and mobility, most parents default to another name brand for a second lighter weight stroller.

In terms of overall performance, Graco’s strollers are fairly solid and safe, although there are more reports of minor breakdowns, for Graco’s more “affordable” models, than in their “luxury” models. Comparatively speaking, Graco does not make it into “the most durable stroller” category, of some higher-end manufacturers. Most parents are quite satisfied with their Graco strollers, but tend to have some minor complaints against their stroller—frequently related to the bulk of the stroller or squeaky wheels.

By in large, Graco strollers run between $100 and $200, excluding some of Graco’s newer model two-seaters and more luxurious travel systems. Graco also sells a limited number of lightweight strollers for under $100, but they tend to be slightly more flimsy. Graco’s customer service and support functions at about the same level as their strollers: generally fine with some minor breakdowns in quality.
