Graco’s Passage 530 travel system line improves upon an
already established and well-designed mode of transportation for baby. The
system comes with Graco’s popular SnugRide infant car seat/carrier combination,
which safely contains baby within an adjustable five-point harness and a soft,
padded infant head support. The carrier clips into a stay-in-car base that is
equipped with LATCH, the current standard in car seat safety, and has an
ergonomic handle that is easier on Mom’s wrists.
The carrier snaps into the Passage 530 stroller for continuous movement
without disturbing baby and the carrier and stroller canopies can be adjusted to
completely block out light if baby is sleeping. Alternately, older toddlers can
be strapped right into the stroller’s padded seat with the 3-point harness.
Toddlers are kept just as comfy as babies with a multi-position reclining seat,
an adjustable canopy, and a pivoting snack tray with a cup holder. Innovations
on this stroller include the convenience of folding it with one hand without
bending and having it stand on its own while parents put the carrier in the car.
Parents will also appreciate the storage basket below the seat that lowers for
loading and the organizer tray with cup holders and covered storage
compartments. --Cristina Vaamonde

 The car seat is
excellent, and the stroller is okay too!, January 21, 2006
After much review prior to my son being born, I found that Graco car seats
were some of the safest around. We have been very happy with ours, and we felt
very secure using this seat with our son, who is now 5 months old and has
graduated to a convertible car seat. We even had to take the lining out to wash
it after an "accident", and it was easy to remove and reassemble. As I said in
the title, the car seat was excellent, and we will certainly be using this same
seat with our future children.
As for the stroller, it is very nice, but if you travel by plane any at all,
this stroller is not very durable. We have now taken 8 plane trips and have had
to gate check our stroller each time. The stroller now has a few rips and tears
as a result. This is partially due to rough flights and airline employees not
handling the stroller gently, but it also has to due with fabric that is not as
durable as it could be. The rips and tears are minor, but if you travel more
than we do, you may consider finding an alternate traveling stroller.

Perfect!, November 9, 2005
I recieved this stroller (in the Theresa pattern) for my baby shower and I
absolutley love it! Although my little girl is not here yet, I have been playing
with it and the ride is so smooth. The best thing about this stroller is the way
it folds...it folds up to you and then stands on its own. The only thing that
touches the ground when folded is the wheels...which is the way it is supposed
to be. I also like the fact that the carrier locks into the stroller in the back
and the front since the stroller comes equipped with car seat latches. I have
looked at just about every single stroller out there, and this is by far the
BEST! Highly recommended! I will review again in a few months on how it works
with baby, but I cant imagine it not being just perfect!

Love it!!!!, October 24,
2005
I looked forever when I was pregnant with my daughter who is now 6 months for
a travel system. I love it!!!! Since I was having a girl I didn't want a
stroller that was boyish and I away have people telling me how much they love
it. My friends that have babies say its a smoother ride then their strollers
that cost mroe then mine did. It is easy to take down I just maek sure the
breaks are locked and I have never had any problems and its not heavy. The only
thing I don't like is I wish they had more padding in the stroller for when my
little girl sits in it.

This is a great travel system! I went to babies r us after seeing a different
stroller on line and did not like it once I saw it in person, but I found this
one and I absolutely love it! The car seat clips into the stroller no problems.
My favorite feature is the way it folds; it is super easy and it folds up to
you!! Also it is not too bulky when it is closed. It is not heavy, therefore
making it easty to lift in and out of the car! I would recommend this stroller
to anyone particularly busy moms with other children who are running between
swim lessons, soccer practice, cub scouts etc. It just makes life much simpler!
