Graco is best known for their top quality baby equipment ranging from baby seats to strollers. The Graco RoadMaster is a jogging stroller + infant car seat combo. It can be the only travel system you need for your child. Here are some of it key features:

• Fast Action Fold – Every parent knows the struggle of having to fold and put the stroller away after a long day outside. Luckily, the Graco RoadMaster has a fast action fold design that will allow you to fold it up with one easy step, and because the stroller folds up small, it can be stored easily.

How much should you pay for Graco Roadmaster Jogger?

If you’re looking to get the Graco RoadMaster for your family, you’ll be happy to know that the stroller is currently available on popular online stores for about $299, and less on sites that have the stroller on sale. Some popular sites were discounting the stroller up to 22% at the time of writing this review.  Not every site offer the complete color range, so you may shop around if you need to buy a specific color.

Any Cons

My research of customer feedback online show they are generally happy with the product. Some users have however mentioned that they found it slightly hard to maneuver, or steer the Graco Roadmaster with heavier children. But that is to be expected, especially if the child is either nearing the weight capacity or has already passed it.

Another issue is that the mesh back of the seat, although good for ventilation, it is said to be thin, and need care to avoid getting torn.

Aside from these minor complaints, the stroller has been reported to perform as expected, which made parents feel like the almost $300 price tag was well worth it.

Conclusion

A great item for a baby shower or for yourself, the Graco RoadMaster Travel System is the only one you will need for the first few years of your child’s life. After all, nothing can compare to the ease and comfort of your child especially during his early years.
