Where has this been all my life
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used the same travel system for all 3 of my babies. It has worked fine, but I had no clue what I was missing until the Stellar Product Testing panel sent me the Premier Merge Travel System. I immediately wanted to burn the old one, but settled for leaving it at Grandma’s! Everything about this system is 10x more convenient than my existing one. I’m 4’11 and could easily fold the stroller with one hand while holding my chunky 20lber on my other hip. Opening it is just as easy, and I love that it doesn’t fall over when closed. It looks like a high end stroller with the leather bar and sleek fabric. Don’t get me started on the ease of use for the car seat. You mean to tell me I’ve been fighting for my life with adjusting the handle on my old car seat for literal years, when I could have used this one?! It has one button at the top of the handle versus the button on either side that need to be pushed together at precisely the exact same time that most have. I’ve always been relieved when moving my kids to convertible car seats bc their so much easier to adjust for height, so I was very excited to see this car seat adjusts the same way; from the top without having to mess with the straps. It took me maybe a minute to get my son fitted perfectly! The fabric of the stroller is so so lightweight and breathable that I felt much more comfortable letting my baby take a nap during a long, hot, walk. But my favorite feature, hands down, is the magnetic clips on the stroller seat. Not only does this make it super quick to strap baby in, but when my baby fell asleep on that long, hot walk I mentioned, it was SO easy to open the magnetic clips to get him out without waking him up. That’s more than worth the money right there! I played around with the 360 wheels. They’re neat, but I didn’t have a need for them in the time I used it, so I can’t speak to how functional they really are. I could see them being helpful in tight spaces. The only feature that I didn’t love, was the way you attach the car seat to the stroller seat. I’m used to a system where the stroller seat is completely removed to insert the car seat, so I had a really hard time getting it in. This wasn’t a deal breaker for me bc my baby is 10 months old, so I didn’t necessarily need the feature. But I did like that this system has 2 pieces vs the 3 I had to carry around with my existing system. This travel system is magical! I will be recommending it to all of my friends, and am now using it as my primary system.

Sophisticate and Convenient
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We receive this travel system as part of a Stellar Product Testing panel. And we’ve enjoyed it so far! Out of the box, assembly was a breeze – extremely intuitive. We only referenced the instructions for confirmation that everything was assembled correctly, but never had to problem-solve. The aesthetic is sleek, modern, and classy – heather gray with patterned stitching and the brown leather handles/lap bar add a sophisticated feel. While we thankfully have not had to yet, the moisture-wicking fabric seems like it will be a cinch to clean and keep clean. We like that the car seat base is small and slim – it allows for easy loading, not having to lift the car seat as high into the seat. And allows the older littles to easily squeeze past on their way to the back row. And the smaller frame is still strong and mighty! The snug-fit feature allows us to secure the base tighter than we’ve ever been able to cinch a base – giving us a lot of confidence in our kiddo’s safety. The carrier is great. We love the continuity of the sophisticated aesthetic with some convenience features! The head cushion (and shoulder positioning of the restraints) is easily adjustable without have to disassemble and fish the straps through various holes – it effortlessly just slides up/down to find the right positioning. Love the one-hand operation of the carrier handle. And the restraint has an effortlessly smooth action when tightening/loosening. No need to fight it or find just the right angle to pull on. One con is the pull to release the carseat from the base. It gets covered by the sun-shade and is often hard to find and operate. The stroller has been great and super functional. The simple folding action is a game changer quick-action and fumble-free operation. The 360 degree wheels are a fun feature, but to be completely honestly, we have not found a situation in which we’ve needed it. This feature would be extremely useful for a double-stroller application, but as a single-stroller do not ever think to use it. The oversized, rubbery wheels make for an extremely smooth, gliding ride.

Graco Premiere Merge Travel System
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I didn’t expect to like this travel system as much as I did! Pros: Compact Lightweight Spacious Thick but soft fabric Easy handling I loved that everything in this system felt spacious without being bulky. Both the car seat and the stroller were super lightweight while still feeling sturdy. I also really like the fabric which was very soft and cooling. My infant was very comfortable and didn’t sink into this car seat like she has in other infant car seats. The fact that I can adjust the headrest like a convertible car seat is a game changer! The large canopies are also a huge plus for me. I like the magnetic lock on the straps, but did find some of the adjustment buttons to be a little difficult to push in. I really love that you don’t have to remove anything from the stroller to install the car seat, the click and go is so convenient. Cons: I’m not sure that the EZ spin wheels are necessary. The stroller is easy to maneuver and I feel like the functionality is overkill. While I appreciate extra locking wheels, I didn’t realize that the front wheel was locked at first and I had a really hard time figuring out what was wrong. Maybe make this a more mentioned feature in the manual. I also find the shoulder straps on the car seat to be too bulky. Generally, I love Graco products and this travel system is no exception. It feels sturdy, looks luxurious, and is a breeze to install and handle.

Great infant seat ok stroller
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from Steller Panel in exchange for my honest review. This travel system looks beautiful with great quality fabric and a sleek design. It has a nice sized basket and parent cup holder for 2! I love how the sun shade can unzip and cover the toddler seat completely especially when the toddler falls asleep in the stroller. The magnetic clasps are a game changer. With lighter weight children the stroller handles great and maneuvers well. The stroller folds up easily. The 360 wheels are great but you have to hold the button in or else the back wheels will lock up right away. The toddler seat does not come out and is not machine washable. When looking at the seat under the fabric, it’s just a plastic board and it is quite flimsy at the top. The plastic wheels make a loud noise when walking on sidewalks and are not very smooth compared to all terrain wheels. It was hard to get the infant seat to snap correctly on the sides of the stroller due to the mesh fabric in the way however, the infant seat is great and I would purchase it by itself! The infant seat is easy to install, comfortable, lightweight and easy to use!

Amazing seat and stroller setup
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have loved having this! My baby seems so comfortable in the car seat; she’s nestled in snugly but not smooshed and she doesn’t squirm around when I put her in it. I like that it’s easy to adjust the custom fit to her. It’s so lightweight which is so, so nice when you already have the weight of baby, diaper bags, etc. It’s easy to pop it out of the base and right into the stroller. The stroller is also super easy; it’s lightweight, easy to push/roll/turn corners, and I like the look of it too. The buckle is great as it feels secure since it’s magnetic. I like the adjustable recline of the stroller. There’s also lots of storage space which is great as I’m always taking extra baby stuff with me. This really is a great travel system; the seat is safe, seems comfortable, and easily pops into an easy to navigate stroller. I honestly have no complaints about it. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system.

Very nice and convenient
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a busy mom, I’ve found the Premier Merge Travel System to be an exceptional choice. This system stands out for its ease of use, style, and practical features. One of the MAJOR car seat highlights is that it's very lightweight! The car seat is easy to carry, even with a larger or older baby. It's well-padded and feels durable and premium, offering excellent value. It's also a very simple instal and it's very straightforward and secure, making it the easiest I've encountered compared to other high-end models. The base fits well in smaller cars due to its compact size. The most unique of the stroller highlights is obviously the 360-Degree wheels!! These wheels enhance maneuverability, making it a breeze to navigate tight spaces and turn easily. This feature is especially useful in restaurants and narrow aisles. I also LOVE that I can easily utilize this feature, by using one hand and the button is on the handlebar. Making it very simple to use the 360-degree wheels or just regular stroller wheels. The stroller also has one-handed recline and makes an easy transition from car seat to stroller. The stroller reclines with one hand, and the car seat clicks seamlessly onto the stroller, which is perfect for switching between baby and toddler needs. It's also very stylish while also practical. The stroller boasts a sleek design with leather accents and ample storage. It folds easily and stands on its own, which is great for storage. As for cons, I found the upper portion of the stroller seat to be flimsy. Which isn't a problem while the kids are smaller, but as they grow...could potentially be an issue. The stroller struggles on very rough or uneven surfaces, making it less ideal for bumpy sidewalks or off-road conditions. Overall, the Premier Merge Travel System delivers on convenience, style, and functionality. It excels in everyday use and is particularly well-suited for smooth surfaces and urban environments. If you need a stylish, easy-to-use travel system, this one is highly recommended. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for the opportunity to review this fantastic system!

Classy and Convenient Travel System
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The material and design of the travel system look sleek and work well. The neutral, gray color looks classy and the fabric really is moisture wicking. The basket under the stroller has ample storage and the seat can easily recline back. My favorite features of the stroller are the 360 degree wheels and magnetic buckle. It made it very easy to navigate around the busy aquarium! The magnetic buckle was a game changer in being able to hold my toddler with one hand and buckle/unbuckle my infant with the other hand. I also love that the travel system provides 100% coverage from the sun when the car seat is installed. I had a hard time remembering how to utilize the self-standing fold feature; the locking mechanism is on the bottom left part of the stroller, but I wish it was more conveniently located at the top of the stroller on or near the handle. I also had a hard time clicking the car seat into the travel system. It appears as if the fabric on the stroller is in the way of the notches on the car seat where it clicks into place. However, it was extremely easy to install in the car. There is a level built into the base, and the SnugLock made it fast and easy for a secure and safe installation. I love the contours on the car seat handle which allow you to comfortably carry it on your forearm. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system.
