Quattro Tour

Do you have the Graco Quattro Tour Travel System? Do you like it?

Im 21 weeks pregnant with my first baby & my husband & I were looking at Babies R Us at the stroller/car seat sets & found one we seem to really like. Its the GRACO Quattro Tour Travel System . http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2813887.

Since this is our first baby, we dont know what to look for in quality. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Also we like the GRACO Portable Pack & Play. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2813888. We are thinking of using this in our bedroom the first few weeks in place of a bassinet. That way we can use it afterwards, Has anyone used a pack & play for a bassinet. Did it seem comfortable for the baby?

We love ours; we have it in the Bermuda pattern. The car seat is VERY heavy, though. When our son was about 4 months old (around 13 - 15 lbs), we stopped using it as a carrier. The car seat alone weighs 20 lbs, I think, so we just can't carry him very far in it. Other than that, I think it is very well made and very attractive. Also, this line of Graco car seats (the safe seat) is better (safer, higher quality) than the less expensive line (snugride). Our newborn son was very comfortable in his car seat, whereas our friends' baby looked very uncomfortable in her Evenflo car seat.

As for the pack & play; it's a must!! We didn't use it as a bassinet, but used it at my parents' house. Again, our son was comfortable in it, although we didn't use the changing station on it very much. I think that using the pack & play may be a better way to transition the baby into the crib because it's much bigger than a bassinet.

Yes, the Quattro Tour line is more expensive than other Graco travel systems and others, like Evenflo. But, I feel it is worth every penny. I do not doubt the safety of my son in the car, stroller, or pack & play. Just read the reviews on Babies 'R Us - parents love it!

And another thing, I HIGHLY suggest meeting with a fireman or policeman qualified to teach you about car seat safety. We did this before our son came, and I was SO glad I did; I learned so many things that I wouldn't have learned elsewhere.

Congrats and good luck!

Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System?

Please could I have personal reviews of this travel system before we purchase it, hubby's parents are buying us a travel system.

Please could I have your review of -

Weight
Sturdiness
Quality

And what else you feel you need to tell me!

I know is makes no difference what so ever but we are going to get the Chocolate Lime colour!!
I have managed to find this for £170

I have one in deco. I love love love it. Let me start with the car seat, it hold a baby up to 32 pound and it is not too heavy. When we were getting ours inspected the lady said it was one of the nicest she has see. I love the car seat.

Now on to the stroller. I love the fact that you can fold it with one hand. Also, when folding all the parts that baby touches fold inside the stroller. The bottom basket folds down so when the seat in reclined you can still get into the basket. The stroller it a little big but that is ok.

I would highly recommend this system!
