Welcome to the website that lets you know everything there is to know about Graco Strollers.  We test them out, we review them and then we tell you all about it!  First off, congratulations on your bundle of joy, or if you’re expecting, congratulations and welcome to the world of parenthood.  This article will tell you all about the Graco Vie Stroller, a great option for those of you out there who are considering a stroller that is easy to handle with one hand and comfortable for both parents.  And because we’re a website that tells you all about Graco strollers, we’ll tell you about the issues that some owners have had with it.  So, you’ll definitely find out about the pros and cons.

The Pros:

What we (and other people) love about the Graco Vie4

1. Accepts all Graco infant car seats.  If you already have one, then you won’t have to go out and try to find a compatible car seat.
2. You’ll be able to fold this stroller one handed.  This is great if you’re trying to do a million things at once.
3. Height adjustable handle, so, mommy if you’re not as tall as daddy or vice versa, this stroller adjusts to you!  Kiss back pains good-bye.
4. The vie4 is self-standing once folded.
5. Extra large storage baskets, deep cup holders, parent-tray and child-tray offer wonderful storage space for all your child’s things while keeping in mind that parents have knick-knacks too!
6. Padded multi-position seat cuddles your baby while giving him or her the most comfortable ride.  It even reclines flat.
7. Convertible harness makes sure that the stroller adjusts to your growing baby…all the way to 50 lbs!
8. Lockable front swivel wheels with suspension. Comfort anyone?
9. You can wash the removable seat cushions in your washing machine!
10.  Comes in 4 different design patterns
    1. Olivia – pink and brown with a floral pattern
    2. Nobel – green and brown
    3. Betsey – pink and brown
    4. Inman Park – blue and brown

The Cons:

1. It’s bulky.
2. Some find it difficult to close and maneuver with one hand (though I didn’t)
3. At times, tricky to use the harness.

What do we think?

All of the above! The Graco Vie4 delivers on everything it promises to deliver.  But be warned, because of all its lovely features…I consider it bulky and you may too.

-          maneuverable

-          easy to store

-          smooth ride

After taking a look at the stroller for myself and taking it for a test drive…it really is a pretty good stroller.  Good quality, a lot of different designs to choose from, easy to handle and baby loves it!  However, having said that, I personally wouldn’t and didn’t get it because it is too bulky and heavy for my tastes.  I’m only 4’9 and for me to use the vie4 with my hefty baby…I’d rather use the carrier.  If you are a good deal taller than me (as most people are) you may not consider this bulky.  The other reason why my husband and I didn’t get this stroller is that where we live, having a slim, lightweight stroller would be more ideal so that we can get in and out of tight spaces with ease.  The Vie4 would have been just too difficult to use.

Conclusion:

Just because we didn’t go out and get the Vie4 doesn’t mean that it isn’t the stroller for you.  On Amazon, the price range for the Graco Vie4 is around $125 (Nobel) – $ 170 (Olivia) and that price estimate includes shipping costs.  Makes sure to check out all the available strollers on Amazon because as the price range suggests, the prices vary.
