I am looking to purchase a new Travel System for my Baby. (I am due in july) I did have a Graco Quatro with my son, but I hated it. It was too bulky and hard to steer. I have been looking at some Aluminum frame strollers and My husband and I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions, or any feedback they can share on
1.) Safety 1st Evolution Travel System
2.) Quinny 4 Freestyle Travel System
3.) Maxi-Cosi Foray Stroller /Maxi-Cosi Mico Infant Car Seat
We would like to know what you liked and didn’t like, pro’s and cons. (Including the Car Seats.) We have had trouble finding reviews on-line.
If you have any personal experience, good or bad, please let me know
Thanks!

I have a maxi cosi car seat, I really like it, I also have a quinny buzz, I had the carry cot to put on it, but ended up not using it after 2 months as my baby wanted to see out and I resorted to using the maxi cosi car seat on the pram. I love my quinny, but it is quite wide! Its easy to steer using one hand and the adjustable handle height is really useful. I would suggest getting the basket to go underneath as you cannot hang bags over the handles as with some other prams!

If you are still interested in a Graco product, I highly recommend a Graco MetroLite car seat and stroller travel system combo. It is slimmer, less bulky, and much lighter than the Quattro. I absolutely love ours!

You might want to consider another option - the Chicco Cortina KeyFit 22 Travel System. This is a very popular stroller/car seat because it just works. Any mom who has four different strollers in her garage knows what I mean.
I suggest this brand because it lasts. I’ve had a Safety 1st stroller and just sort of fell apart and got wobbly. I too, LOVE the Quinny Buzz, but it’s a pricey option. This might be a more affordable option.
The Chicco car seat is very safe and the stroller has many features that make it last.
Stroller features include:
- made of light-weight aluminum
- a one-hand fold and automatic storage latch
- a multi-position/fully reclining seat
- parent and child cup holders
- a dishwasher-safe tray liner, large storage basket
- three-position leg rest, water-repellent canopy,
- height-adjustable handle
- all-wheel suspension
It retails for $279. You should visit this site to shop for strollers. http://www.babyearth.com/baby-strollers.html
They have info, photos and a "learn more" tab for many of the popular brands.

the safety 1st evolution travel system is what we had,and I hated it…I got a Graco twin stoller and I love it…Maybe it is all about personal preference…and not which is better…what someone hates, you may love.

I am not sure what the Quatro is but I have the Graco Metrolite travel system and it’s awesome. I can steer the stroller with one hand if I am at a store and carry a basket in the other, it is very lightweight and easy to steer in my opinion.
Sorry I am not familiar with the ones you listed but thought I would share my experience.
