    Amazon.com Product Description
    Keeping baby on the go is one step easier with the Graco SnugRider Infant Car Seat Stroller Frame. Its streamlined, lightweight, and cost-effective design makes this stroller frame an ideal choice for parents who want to the convenience that a stroller affords but without the bulk and expense of a car-seat-compatible stroller. This stroller can be used by infants who fit the car seat's size recommendations, but it's especially ideal for a young baby who is unable to sit up unassisted and isn't yet ready for a sleek, upright, umbrella-style stroller.

    The Graco SnugRider Infant Car Seat Stroller Frame offers:
    • Lightweight but sturdy construction.
    • Height-adjustable handle for extra comfort.
    • Automatic storage latch allows for compact fold up with one hand.


    An extra-large storage basket in back holds all your gears and extras. View larger.
    Built for Convenience>
    Designed especially for use with the Graco SnugRide and Infant SafeSeat car seats (sold separately), this extremely lightweight yet sturdy stroller frame quickly locks the car seat into place, so baby is ready to roll in no time. An extra-large storage basket provides room to stash all your gear, whether you're picnicking at the park or browsing at the mall, and two cup holders at the handle provide a handy place for your coffee, soft drink, or even your cell phone.

    Easy Maneuverability
    Along with its lightweight design, the stroller includes several features that make for easier use. The height-adjustable handle prevents reaching and /or stooping, making for safer and more comfortable use; the front swivel wheels with locks and suspension provide improved maneuverability and control. Once you're done with your walk, the stroller has an automatic storage latch and can be folded up compactly with just one hand for easy portability.

    About Graco
    In 1942, Russell Gray and Robert Cone formed Graco Metal Products, in Philadelphia, PA. For 11 years, the firm fabricated machine and car parts for local manufacturers. In 1953, Gray left the firm, leaving Cone as sole owner. Cone decided to manufacture his own line of products, but had trouble coming up with ideas. Enter David Saint, an engineer, tinkerer, and stained glass artisan who worked for Graco. Saint, himself a father of nine, was intrigued when an associate told him how his wife would soothe their tired and cranky baby while swinging in a backyard glider swing. Acting on this inspiration, he went to the drawing board and 18 months of hard work later, the world's first wind-up infant swing, the Graco Swyngomatic, was born. Graco sold millions of Swyngomatics in the coming years, becoming one of the world's leading manufacturers of juvenile products in the process. Today, Graco is a Newell Rubbermaid company, with 1500 associates worldwide. While a half-century has brought many changes to Graco, their dedication and commitment to designing and manufacturing top-quality products remains, and continues on.

    4 out of 5 stars Mostly good, but some cheap plastic pieces   November 9, 2008
    Ian C. Guch (VA)
    This item is quite good, but the cupholder tends to fall off at the drop of a hat and the plastic piece that secures the child car seat seems to bend quite easily. We use it a lot, but wish it were a little heavier duty.


    4 out of 5 stars much better than a full-on stroller for 0-6 mo   October 23, 2008

    I'm so glad we elected to do the baby bucket + stroller base frame rather than one of those full-metal stroller systems. For one thing, the frame is a lot lighter and easier to fold and get in and out of a trunk -- a LOT easier. Also, by the time my son reached the age when the bucket + frame no longer worked for us, we had come to realize that the kind of stroller we wanted was a lightweight umbrella-style stroller, NOT one of those massive things that come as part of a stroller-carseat-base system.

    My only quibble with this frame is that it didn't quite stand up to the huge strain we put on it. My son needed to be pushed back and forth for hours at a time in order to sleep when he was a newborn, and so the beating this frame took was probably miles more than it was designed for. It started to squeak and became a little wobbly, such that my husband had to keep spraying lubricant and tightening bolts to keep it quiet enough not to wake the boy up and sturdy enough that we didn't worry about it falling to bits.

    For normal use, though, I'm sure it would be just fine.



    4 out of 5 stars So far so good   October 21, 2008
    Apryl C. Clark (Pennsylvania)
    I just received my stroller frame in the mail today and I LOVE IT! I have not used it but I can imagine the usage that I will get out of it. It is perfect for those quick runs to doctors appointments, mall, to the store. I love my Graco travel system however it is heavy and it is not good to pull out for a quick errand. My baby is 2 months old today so hopefully I will have this for a while. I will use it for future kids and will recommend this to friends and family. I do agree with the small cup holders, however with my safe seat it looks like I can get to the basket with no problem. This is a very econmical option and a must for any parent!


    5 out of 5 stars I love this stroller frame!   October 16, 2008
    Psyche (Pasco, WA United States)
    With my first child, I did what a lot of parents do: buy a Travel System. The stroller part of that system was bulky and heavy and I dreaded trying to get it into the trunk of my compact car. Once my first child was old enough, I dumped the Travel System stroller and bought another lightweight stroller.
    With my second child, I bought this frame and it fit my SnugRider carseat just fine. The car seat part snap/latches in the front and 2 levers pull out to hold the sides. This stroller pushes incredibly smoothly. With the Travel System I bought previously, it was always an effort to push the stroller. I have taken this over smooth sidewalks, unpaved trails and light gravel and it rolls over them with a minimal of effort. The only 2 complaints are almost not worth mentioning but I will anyway. First, the single handed closing of the frame isn't single handed for left handed parents. This is a common problem I have being left-handed and my 11-yr old who is right handed has no problem with it. Second, when you open and close the latch that holds the system standing up, it isn't always easy. Sometimes it comes apart and I have to do it again or I have to turn it around to unlatch it. I think this also is because I'm left-handed but it is workable.



    4 out of 5 stars great for the money   October 7, 2008
    K. Langford (Tallahassee, FL)
    We were given a very nice Graco car seat and base for our new baby, so we didn't want to register for an entire new travel system, but we liked the idea of the convenience for those occasions when we do need a stroller.

    The stroller frame was very easy to assemble. I'm petite, and getting it in and out of the car is very easy for me, though it does take two hands to fold and unfold. The car seat attaches securely and it feels sturdy. My only major complaint is that the ride is very rough on asphalt, so it isn't good for walking with my baby in the neighborhood for exercise.

    This product meets our needs and was a good buy.
