THIS stroller is just right! Aug 05, 2010
By Natasha Stryker I am so happy with this stroller!
We were using the Chicco Cortina on loan from a friend for 6 months and had to return it as they are expecting their 2nd child in a couple weeks. We received a Jeep Cherokee Sport Stroller in Shock at our shower, so we broke that one out, but it wasn't comfortable for a 6 month old. I love the Jeep stroller and it will be great when traveling light when our daughter is about 18 months+, but right now she needed something more plush.
I was very sad to be without the Cortina and wanted to buy one of our own, but decided to shop around for one that wasn't so heavy and wide. I found this Graco Vie4 stroller to be just right. It is lighter, more agile, and narrower than the Cortina; but more padded, roomier and better equipped than the Jeep Sport.
Here is everything I love:
- The fabric is adorable and better looking in person, the flowers look Hawaiian
- The basket is better than the full size Cortina, longer and easier to get to
- The handling is zippy and silent
- There are 2 coffee cup holders AND a lidded cubby on the parent tray
- The child's tray can accomodate a sippy cup or juice box in the same hole
- I was able to snap it together in 20 minutes by myself without having to dig out the directions
- It reclines flat for sleeping and an emergency changing table
- It is much lighter than the Cortina
- The handle is adjustable for my tall husband
- The fabric is pink but the body is a nice cocoa brown which makes the pink it more subtle in person
- The canopy is large with a nice big clear porthole to check on baby
- The harness is very clever, the one buckle goes from a 3 to 5 point harness with sliding shoulder straps
- The harness straps adjust easily thanks to push buttons, no having to pull twice through a slide buckle
- The foot flap can fold up to create a bassinet, it also folds under the seat for more room on foot rest
- When the seat is in the upright position, there's a pocket behind the headrest I can stash a toy or snack
- It really does fold open and closed with one hand
Here are the things I wish were better:
- It doesn't fold as flat as you think it will, but I have a CRV and still have room in the back
- The canopy isn't designed to also fold in front like the Cortina, but if you don't secure it under the parent tray, it can!
- The Jeep has loops on canopy to hang toys, I wish this one did too so I made my own with ribbon
- I wish the buttons were pink or brown and not red, just the graphic designer in me being picky :)
I think a couple of the bad reviews here are because the poor people received a lemon, they should ask for a replacement. I think the gentleman who had the uncomfortable seat angle had a broken stroller since it sounds like it wouldn't unfold/open all the way. The gal who had a seat that wouldn't sit upright may have had a faulty adjustment strap. I am fortunate to not have experienced any of these problems.
Overall I highly recommend this stroller, especially if you get it on sale with the free shipping!

Great Value for the price Jun 03, 2008

This is my second stroller for my petite 10 month old daughter. She and I both love it. I was easy to assemble and all of the features are more than I expected. I purchased this stroller to take on vacation and it worked well. It fit nicely in the trunk of our Nissan Altima and left plenty of room for the cooler and luggage. She naps in it and it doubled as a feeding chair on vacation. The brown is easy to keep clean while the pink gives it the femanine look I wanted. I have not had the squeaky wheel problem, yet, but I did use some WD-40 on the axle as recomended in the instruction manual. I would recommend this stroller to anyone who wants a full size versatile light weight stoller for their daughter.

Great stroller, great price! Jun 02, 2008
By Kelly H. This stroller is awesome... the only reason why I did not give it five stars is because it does not easily fold with one hand. In fact, I have not yet been able to fold or unfold it using only one hand... but that doesn't matter too much, it is roomy, rides very smoothly, is lighter than previous big graco strollers we've had, and the multi position recline is much better than strollers that only have one or two set recline positions. It works great with 3 month old as well as 3.5 year old. The adjustable handle is an added plus too. Overall great stroller!!

Convenient to use Apr 05, 2008
By R.B.H.
"GrannyR."
Loved the convenience and ease of opening and closing. Also think it is very mobile and sturdy. Especially loved to find it will "stand' on its own when folded up. This is such a nice feature when your hands are already full and it doesn't slide down while your moving it.

I LOVE IT!! Sep 11, 2010
By Karla C. This stroller is awesome, I just received it a couple a days ago, it is easy to assemble and it is very sturdy. I especially love it that it completely reclines back, especially since my daughter loves to take naps when we go shopping. When the shade is pulled out it seems as if she is in her own little private area. I love it! The under basket is really spacious her big diaper bad fits and so does my purse. It is a bit bulky, but I really don't mind as long as my daughter is comfortable in it I am satisfied with it. I bought mine from Wal-mart online and my shipping was free and it only cost me $65. I think this was a great buy.
