This is our second Graco travel system, as we needed to replace our Graco Vienna system for a new baby (the safety clip on the car seat broke). We were deciding between this system and the Metrolite travel system. We purchased an Alano Flip-It in a gray/yellow combination that is great looking and gender-neutral. We are still using the carseat with the stroller, and so haven't tried to reverse the direction of the handle yet, but I'll update this review when we try that.
<br/>
<br/>PRO
<br/>1. The stroller folds down to a compact size, so that it fits nicely in the trunk of our compact car (we can't fit the larger Graco models, like the Quattro Tour). It is actually smaller than our Graco Vienna stroller, because the handle is jointed near the top. This is also a great feature, as my husband and I can adjust the handle to different heights when pushing the stroller.
<br/>2. The stroller has a standing fold, where the back of the stroller (where the handle is) and the front (where the snack tray is) fold toward each other, and the stroller locks into place. This is better than the Metrolite, which has a hook you have to fasten while holding the stroller folded. We also liked it better than some other Graco strollers that fold down toward the ground.
<br/>3. The material covering the car seat is sueded, so it feels softer and warmer that other carseats.
<br/>
<br/>CON
<br/>1. The stroller is more difficult to unlock (to fold or unfold) that other Graco strollers. It feels like the rotating handle must go more than 180º to unlock, which is awkward.
<br/>2. The cup holder is awkward and sticks out from the side of the stroller. Also, it is pretty far away from you while you are pushing the stroller - I am average height, and couldn't actually reach the cup while pushing the stroller. I removed the cup holder and replaced it with an after-market model, which I have attached to the handle closer to me.
<br/>3. I do wish it had a console tray - I miss that from my old stroller. It does have a small zippered pocket on the back of the stroller that can fit keys and cell phone, but not much else.
<br/>
<br/>Overall, we are happy with the size and performance of the stroller, although there are a few features that I feel are sub-par or missing. The light weight and maneuverability of this stroller are huge advantages.
