Graco Spree Travel System, Twister

Bought this for my first son after seeing it had good reviews. What I didn't realize was that this carseat does not have the strap on the front to tighten the harness. You have to pull each strap individually from the back to secure your child. Not only is this inconvenient, but the clasps on the back don't feel very secure to hold the proper amount of tension. Definitely would NOT recommend!

We bought this stroller and overall it did the job. However, we quickly realized that for time and sanity sake we needed a complete different model. The straps to tighten your little munchkin into the carseat are located in the back and you have to tighten each strap separately. It is hard to reach the straps while your little one is in the carseat and very hard to get the right amount of tension so that your little one is safely secured. I would definitely recommend spending a little extra money to get a carseat that has the strap adjustments in the front. Secondly, the wheels on the stroller are cheaply made. If you put a small amount of weight onto the stroller the wheels go off track. I agree with previous reviews, that the release button on the harness is hard to push in. Lastly, the head support is cheap. It did nothing to help my newborn's head stay in place. The last 3 cons were very minor to us, but the carseat strap adjustments really sealed the deal for us.

I have owned 5 strollers and have been using this stroller for over 7 months. The car seat removes from the base with ease and is easily secured into stroller. Simply clicks into car seat base and a squeeze of a button is removed effortlessly. The car seat secures to the stroller with a simple click in and secure. I love the quick one hand folding design of the stroller. Two cup holders and storage tray for keys,etc. The stroller seat does recline back for sleeping. There is a strap on the back of the stroller seat for adjusting seat position. All you do is slide the clip up or down and click to secure. None of those adjustable straps that take forever to loosen. The basket is a generous size. The canopy covers great with a viewing area. The tray lifts for older child to get into and out of stroller seat. The child's tray has a cup holder actually deep enough for a sipper cup or filling with cheerios. The stroller harness strap design is remarkably easily once I realized how it worked. My other strollers had very difficult harnesses and still didn't seem very secure. The car seat straps were also easily adjustable. I liked the infant head rest for positioning(it is removable for later), the seat base that can be reclined more or less(which is needed depending on your vehicles seat contour), and the canopy which is also removable. There are two brakes on the back wheels of the stroller(activate and release with your foot.) When using the car seat clicked into the stroller both canopies can be used ( one from car seat and one from stroller) and they totally shield baby from sun, rain, snow. I have a boy and love all the gender neutral colors of this system. They are warm and fun. The stroller easily fits in the back of our compact car and minivan with all the the van seats being utilized. Right now I have 2 folding chairs, the stroller, and all of my other 3 boys baseball and soccer gear in the trunk of my van. I still was able to fit my 7 year old's motorized scooter and protective gear without any problem and room to spare. (Again all seat of the van were in position and being used. So the stroller doesn't take up much space. The stroller was placed in the trunk of our Mazda 3 and we still had room for 2 bats, 2 gloves, 2 soccer balls, the baby's bag, and several bags of groceries plus 1 folding chair. Keep in mind if you have a compact car- the infant car seats are made longer now and rear facing they will usually only fit in the middle of the back seat. Getting the seat out of the base is a little more challenging even with a 4 door car. No problem with Sienna Van or my sister's mid-size SUV. Not sure how it would be with a mid-size 4 door car. We have used this stroller on grass, gravel, pavement, and indoors(mall). If the grass is higher then pushing the stroller can be challenging and I wish the handle on the car seat was an ergonomic design. I also wish the level indicator would be on both sides of the car seat- otherwise you must go around to passenger side to check it. Overall all very satisfied for the price and safety rating, you can't go wrong.

My husband and I have looked and looked for a travel system within our budget. We didn't think to find anything at Walmart, so by chance we came across this combo indeed, it was the only one hidden in the back of all the other travel systems in Walmart. For the price, we thought lets purchase it!! I'm so glad we did because it was very easy to assemble, easy to clean, my son is very comfy in it and he falls asleep in it with ease. Anything of the Graco brand is a safe product to purchase and is always highly recommended anyway. The color pattern is the same as you see on this site and just a wonderful product overall especially for the price.

Very easy to assemble and easy to install in the car. I did have to have my husband help put the wheels on (I guess I'm a wimp ;) ) I haven't given birth yet so I can't speak much about functionality. The fireman that inspected it tho said that this car seat can be hard to use because you have to adjust the straps from the back side instead from the front (which can be found on other models). He said the easy fix would be to place the car seat on a stable counter and adjust from there then place the baby in the car. Guess we'll see.
