The description stated that this was a snugride 30, which is what I wanted for my son. I ordered this along with an extra base for the 30. When it came it didn't fit the extra base and I noticed it was a basic snugride 22 which I didn't want. I'm glad that I did not know beforehand because I would have missed out on a great seat! It is padded nicely and very easy to install. His evenflo was so difficult to latch tight enough. The stroller folds quickly and one handed. It also rides very smooth. I love that it isn't as huge as other travel systems. The car seat can be adjusted from the front which is great for Ohio, as in the winter he wears heavier clothing.

I have not used this with my baby yet (as he has not arrived yet). However, I will say that I went to Babies R Us before purchasing this at Amazon and I tried out several travel systems. I was mainly stuck between the Chicco ($300) and the Graco FastAction ($200). I got my Graco for about half the price of the Chicco(I got my Graco on sale!!). It is the best purchase I have made to date!! For the price I can't complain about anything! This is my first child (it's a boy) and I don't feel like I will be "stuck" with the system if I wanted a new one for the next baby b/c I didn't pay $300 for it!

Pros:

-Easily put together!

-Folds up literally within a second, with one hand!

-Unfolds quickly and easily! However, this is not with one hand!

-The basket is large, it is tilted but holds quite a bit!

-The car seat snaps into the stroller, and releases with one hand.

-The tray for the car seat can be lifted very easily when your child is older.

-It is easy to adjust the seat height!

Cons:

-The adjuster for the seat is kind of cheap, I don't see a huge problem with this however.

The description stated that this was a Snugride 30, which is what I wanted for my granddaughter. But the car seat is not the 30 but the Snugride 22. I purchased this item on February 19th but didn't realize until recently that I didn't receive the product that was advertised. The stroller is great and folds quickly and only have to use one hand. The cup holders are very handy as well. I looked at the current product description and it's been changed to the Snugride 22. Amazon must have realized the mistake and modified the listing which doesn't help those of us who purchased in late February.

Honest reviews on Graco FastAction Fold Classic Connect Travel System, Forecaster

Ok, the information on here is wrong. The stroller's maximum weight actually goes up to 50 lbs, not 30. I have to admit I haven't actually used this yet, but I'm due in a week. I was excited about this when I ordered it but a little disappointed when I got it in.

Cons:

-Difficult to UNfold,

Small under carriage basket that is at an angle and can't be adjusted. I hope my stuff doesn't fall out!

The back doesn't fully recline and it's adjustable by a flimsy piece of plastic and elasticreally?!? Not what I would expect for a $200 system.

When the seat is up right, the head sits directly next to the metal bars. I don't know if that will be comfortable for a baby who falls asleep.?.

-And lastly, the sun shade is attached to the cup holders, so it's not really adjustable other than opening it and closing it. I was really disappointed in this feature because my last Graco (quatro tour)I could adjust the sun shade to actually shade the baby's face.

Pros:

-light weight

-really easy to fold up

-car seat has great padding as well as the stroller

-stands up when folded

-good, cushioned handle bars

I hope this helps someone out there. It's really hard to see features by pictures.

After struggling for hours to figure out why the car seat would not fit in the extra base we bought for the snugride 30/35, I finally stumbled upon another review which stated that this car seat is actually the 22 lb car seat, not the 30 lb car seat as advertised on all sites where this product is sold! I double-checked, and the other reviewer was correct it is the 22 lb car seat! It's unfortunate because I really liked the stroller. It's light and easy to fold, but I bought it specifically because of the 30 lb car seat, and I am very upset that it is not what was advertised.
