Graco GoMax Travel System - Ace

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very compact which is nice. But it is hard to snap the stroller in and it drives me crazy. I liked the older version, you just place the car seat in and it immediately clicks in. With this one, you have to make sure it’s aligned just right. Some days I get it in the first try but most days it is too difficult and annoying especially when I’m in a rush. Also the bottom storage is a lot smaller than the older version. You can’t even stick the diaper bag underneath.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So easy to install and switch from car to to car without having to worry about a base!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a game changer if you have multiple cars! No more buying extra bases or having empty bases in the car you aren’t using. This baseless car seat snaps in so easily. It works really well for me as a grandma who takes my grandbaby and daughter in-law to doctor appointments while my son works. It also looks very high end and comfortable. I was worried about movement but it stays secure and I feel like it’s very safe!

I have really enjoyed using this car seat and the travel system altogether. I can click it into any vehicle that we go into without a base although I do have a base in my main vehicle. The car seat is kind of low to the ground when it is in the stroller, but that is really the only complaint I have. The installation was super easy.

I have been using the GoMax car seat for traveling with my infant since August 2025, and it has been wonderful for traveling in cars (rental cars, other people's cars, taxis, etc) and is FAA-approved for travel on airplanes (a complaint on this below...) It works well with Graco strollers and adapters via the quick connect system, but it unfortunately does not click into a typical Graco base. They have a separate base you can purchase but it's not as convenient if you have more than one car seat and you want to use the same base. However, the feet that flip down to connect to the LATCH points in vehicles makes it easy to install in any modern car. I would be giving this car seat 5 stars but after traveling with it on a flight this past weekend, I have a complaint based on my experience. As I was boarding my flight with my infant who was strapped into the car seat, I was asked by flight attendants if the car seat was FAA-approved and that they needed to see the sticker that said so. They were unable to find the sticker, as it was not clearly visible on the side or back, so they had me go to my seat and take my baby out so they could look for it since I was struggling to lift the car seat up high enough with my baby strapped in. They finally found it on the bottom underneath the straps, which is a terrible location. Also, the flight attendants were initially looking for an airplane icon, but the sticker only has red text in a small font, located in a large paragraph of text. It is very difficult to find, especially when you're trying to board an aircraft quickly with a baby! This was a huge pain and inconvenience while traveling with my infant, especially solo. Graco should place this sticker in a much more accessible location, especially if it is going to be advertised as THE travel car seat to buy. Graco should also consider adding the airplane icon because the flight attendants said they were looking for that specifically to help them identify the location of the FAA approval sticker. I plan on sending in a formal complaint but wanted to leave a review to let others know who are looking at purchasing this car seat so they can plan accordingly during travel. That's really my only negative feedback, but it was a big deal to me on this trip and tarnished my view of the product. If they change the location of the sticker, I'd give this car seat 5 stars again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this stroller.I love the compactness of it and being able to store it in a backpack.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this car seat caddy! I had a bigger single stroller I used as a travel system with my first baby and this time around I wanted something super small and simple when I just have the one baby to run errands. This fits the bill. It’s not super fancy, but it doesn’t feel super cheap or flimsy and it’s much more sturdy and secure than the universal alternative. I also love how small and light it is. The car seat sticks a little when you take it out, but a light jiggle works every time to remove it. I’m only using this for 6-9 months or so but it’s worth the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lightweight, easy to install in whatever car you’re using. Very well padded and comfortable for little one! Would repurchase again and again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] had high expectations for the Go Max Frame since I previously owned the original version and loved it. Unfortunately, one of the biggest frustrations has been getting the car seat to snap in securely—it often takes multiple attempts, which can be especially stressful when you’re on the go. Another drawback is the storage space. The basket is quite small, fitting only a compact diaper bag, and accessing it becomes even more difficult when the car seat is attached. That said, there are definitely positives. The frame is very compact and folds easily, which makes it convenient for everyday use and travel. In the end, I chose to keep it because, despite its flaws, it still performs better than other Snap & Go options I’ve tried.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this to go with the Graco carseat we had already purchased. We love it. It is compact, lightweight, and has great maneuverability. The affordability was important to us. I have had people comment and ask me if it is a different more expensive brand. Nope, but it’s just as great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect Setup for new moms or moms with other children.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered this for a solo travel with my four month old. It was super easy to use and fold up into the included bag which I could wear like a backpack. I was able to gate check it, but it is also small enough to take as a carry on. I took a few two to three mile walks on our trip and had no issues. If you’re also looking for a stroller that is smaller for shopping trips this would be helpful as well. Great to also fold up and put in the backseat to keep the trunk clear. The only issue I have is the brake will sometimes stay locked even when it is unlocked.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We really like this travel system but as it is right now it’s not truly baseless. I have a Honda pilot and my husband has an f150. There was no way for the seat to be at the proper angle in my pilot without the base. Same with my mother in laws Subaru. We even had a cpst check the install. Other than that, it’s super convenient and easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this travel stroller. It is easy to use and compact.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No base required ! Works easily with the Nest 2 Grow stroller !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best little light stroller. Looks sharp. Moves with ease. Wheel locks really work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A bit tricky to put in, but fits with 3 child seats across!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to install and easy to take out especially having 3 kids now it makes life easier

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this car seat a month or so ago and so far I’m not liking the headrest part, the straps will go over his shoulders where they should but the pads are way above his head it makes zero sense. Not safe especially for babies

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this lightweight stroller frame that can go with us wherever we go. The car seat clicks in and out with ease and It’s a great alternative to our wagon when we want to go shopping or do a quick trip somewhere. I can collapse it and throw it in my trunk with one arm!
