Graco Stylus Travel System Stroller Negatives

The negatives for the Graco Stylus Travel System include a few reviewers saying the padding on the handle bars fell apart, the child cup holder is not deep enough, and the basket is not very accessible when the seat is fully reclined (like with lightweight strollers). Other cons for this travel system are similar to those of other negative reviews for Graco Travel Systems: The SnugRide Car Seat is too big for a compact car (forcing the front passenger seat forward) and the seat is too heavy.

However, reviewers do not complain about the Stylus stroller being too heavy or bulky for a travel system—a rare occurrence when reading reviews about travel systems. It is worth your time take this stroller for a test drive
