++ Graco Alano Flip It Travel System Strata



We had a Graco Metrolite but exchanged it for the Alano flip it. Here are my thoughts and they are mostly concerning the stroller:





-It was easy to assemble for me and looks nice.

-I agree with the other users that using the stroller when flipped was awkward as the swivel wheels get in your way. I read somewhere that you can lock the wheels and that helps but to maneuver the thing would be kinda hard. I'm not sure if height, walking speed or even the length of your legs will be a factor. Try it on a store to find out first.

-The bar on the basket can be pushed down to widen access but it makes a snapping noise no matter how gentle you are and startles our newborn most of the time

-Stroller does not fully recline (maybe lacks about 45 degrees to be fully flat)

-Cup holder gets in the way but it can easily be removed

-Easy to fold one handed; most of the time requires 2 hands for opening or in my case, I use my foot to "nudge" the back to open. It's possible opening it by one hand by "flipping it open"



Please test it in the store to find out if it meets your requirements.
