Cons of having the Graco Snugride Infant Car seat Plus Stroller Frame
- Doesn’t “grow” with your baby. Unlike other Graco strollers, because the stroller frame is made for the snugride infant car seat (and vice versa) it’s really only good for infants.
- Even if there is a big storage area, it doesn’t drop down like the other Graco strollers. You’ll probably have to take the car seat off if you don’t want to shake your baby awake in your attempt to get your things.
- Requires 2 hands to push around.
- Handles can be too low if you are above average height.
To Summarize:
This is what I did when I got this combo…I got it because, I’m pretty small and having a portable stroller that I could lug around everywhere that was easy to maneuver in tight spaces was a must. This duo was and continues to be perfect for me. It is difficult to get big items out of the storage basket and it will not last as long as the other more expensive Graco strollers but that’s why I got a light weight Graco umbrella stroller. The big plus for me is that I can move my baby in and out of the car and stroller without waking him up.
After reading this article, it’s really up to you. For me, this combo was perfect. If you think so too, the price is really reasonable on Amazon. It costs $125.99.
