Graco Premier Merge Travel System with SnugRide SnugFit 35 LX Infant Car Seat - Midtown

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the graco travel system from stellar reviews and was overjoyed! My overall impression is that is solid and stylish! It looks premium without that premium price tag. The system overall is beautiful. The leather handles are a nice touch, that I personally enjoy. I love the color, it’s a brownish grey very unique. The maneuverability of this stroller is comparable with my uppababy stroller, and that’s a HUGE compliment. Very smooth ride. I am so impressed with the rotation of this stroller also. THE ONE HAND FOLD?!!!!! Game changer; especially for a new mom of 2. I love how seamless the car seat to stroller transition is. It is so nice that you don’t have to buy extra adapters to be able to convert. Also a plus I don’t have to carry a bunch of different parts/attachments with me! Has made outings a breeze.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] * Product received as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel * This travel system is by far the best system we've tried for our little one! The car seat has a super soft insert to keep your newborn safe and comfy. The stroller is SO easy to use! With the 4 rotating wheels, you can maneuver through the smallest of spaces. The one-handed open/close is also so wonderful. It's actually easy to operate with one hand. I absolutely love this travel system and highly, highly recommend it. It's SO worth it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Graco Merge Travel System through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I have to say that this travel system is absolutely amazing. The assembly of the stroller is seamless. It comes almost all set up, just needing to attach the child tray, the adult cup holder and wheels. I really didn't need to look up the instructions at any time for the stroller portion. I can say without a doubt that it's the first time I assemble a stroller without help. The infant car seat was perfect and came with detailed instructions too about installation and safety measures. The quality of the system is superb. The fabric is absolutely soft but looks very sturdy at the same time. My baby is having a great time using these items. The 360 wheels are sturdy and make for a comfy ride. No more getting stroller stuck in small spaces. The canopy, handle and all parts in general have a great quality. You can feel how sturdy it is and how it glides very easily on any type of surface. The car seat is very lightweight and comfy. The color is very distinct, almost a chocolatey hue. I would just love they had more colors available. Averall, this is a great mid-range travel system that really looks and feels more expensive than it actually is. Highly recommend!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was lucky enough to have been sent this travel system to try out and provide my feedback and thoughts from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and overall I feel this is an incredible travel system and one of the more affordable options out there where you don’t have to give up the aesthetics aspect. This travel system has been one of the best when it comes to maneuvering it around and I truly love the 360 feature of all four wheels, this makes being able to push it around easy as cake and for such a pleasant experience using it. I love how this system doesn’t make you sacrifice on the aesthetics side but is still safe for your baby and very affordable. The handlebar has this leather like material that screams high end and gives such an elevated look to the stroller. The seating in the infant car seat as well as the stroller are well padded and seem to be very comfortable for your baby and not too thick to cause overheating issues. I found this stroller and infant car seat to latch together effortlessly and made taking my baby in and out of the car so simple. The underneath storage basket has so much space to store your things out of the way but still convenient to access. Overall I love this travel system and was so thrilled to test it out due to Stellar Product Testing Panel and would highly recommend it as a safe, reliable and easy to use travel system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this travel system through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. If you are a one person show trying to lug around a little one, this is an awesome travel system! Using this with airline travel would be ideal. It is lightweight yet sturdy, plus an elevated looking system. I really enjoy that the stroller can be closed with one hand, then held and lifted into a trunk easily! The brown color scheme is a beautiful natural espresso look if you are tired of grey and black. I feel like in person it is darker than on the website photos. The wheels glide smoothly and it is very cool that they can swivel laterally with a push of a button. This lateral movement is great when avoiding yucky stuff or other pedestrians on the sidewalk. The stroller seat also reclines easily with a pull tab. It goes fairly far back for little ones who can’t sit up well or for bigger ones who want to snooze. Having the convenience of a car seat that can be popped into a stroller without a separate ring attachment is such a life saver, since that ring attachment is often just another part to keep track of. This is so clutch if you need to run a quick errand. One thing I wish could be changed on the stroller would be having a single brake to press, rather than two separate wheel brakes. I’m not sure if that would negatively affect the lateral wheel movement. I also wish there were shoulder pads on the straps of the car seat, but I guess you could move them from the stroller to the car seat if you really wanted. Overall this is an awesome travel system for the price point!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to try this travel system. I love the ability to use the car seat directly with the stroller and have it grow with my child. The colors are very neutral and cute. The car seat is easy to install, although I’m still figuring out the shade on top! I really can’t tell if I’m missing a piece or just getting confused. It’s lightweight which is great when carrying around a newborn. The stroller has some great features. I’m loving how easy it is to fold and go. We have really been enjoying the tray feature for our toddler so he can bring things along on our walks such as snacks or toys. The lower storage is LARGE and easy to access which is a major win in my book. The wheels being 360 make maneuvering anywhere much easier! The entire stroller seems very well made and high quality. The only cons so far on the stroller are the lack of shock absorption and the height when folded. We go on a lot of walks in our neighborhood where there are uneven sidewalks and I find it to be more of a bumpy ride than other strollers and I seem to get stuck more when pushing. When folding the stroller into the car, it would be ideal to store it vertically so it’s not taking up the entire trunk floor - it’s just slightly too tall for that! Overall, a fabulous travel system and I would recommend to others! I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received this product as part of a stelar product testing panel. Overall the stroller has a good quality feel to it. The material is soft and seems comfortable for a kid to sit in. The handle bar is comfortable as well to push; however, it does not telescope so may not be comfortable for taller people. While you can attached a parent console, the cupholder that comes with it is nice and sturdy and can hold a 40 Oz. Stanley water bottle and doesn't feel like it will fall out easily. The canopy also has similar material as the seat which is nice but if the seat is reclined the shade won't cover their face so a bigger canopy could help. The snack tray is also great as it holds a kids water bottle. Sounds silly but we have seen some higher end strollers with snack trays that can't hold a 16oz kids water bottle. The snack tray is also hard to get off which I think is a plus and the kids can't take it on and off without help. Pushing the stroller is easy and smooth and the 360 function is a nice touch. The carseat is also nice. Is has the same material and quickly attaches to the stroller. I love that the canopy for stroller and carseat overlap and completely cover the baby.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I want to start off by saying this stroller has been a game changer. When it arrived, it was easy to assemble. All that was needed was the wheels attached and we were off and rolling; no instructions needed. The handle has a rich leather-like feel, and the seat has a great amount of padding for comfort. The grey color is super trendy too! At first, I thought the button on the handle was to fold up the stroller. To my surprise, it allowed the rear wheels to rotate 360°. Navigating through grocery stores has never been better. I also appreciate the large wheels. They roll super smooth and don’t have a loud thump when walking down the sidewalk or bumpy gravel. The included car seat and base are also the same great quality that you would expect from Graco. The car seat snaps into the stroller with ease and is perfect for letting your baby sleep rather than pulling them out of the car seat and putting them in the stroller. Everything is easy to use and is super lightweight. The stroller folds up much smaller than other strollers we’ve used in the past, and the one-handed fold feature is incredible. Overall, I’m super happy with this stroller and I have no complaints! Five stars! *I received this product for free as part of the stellar product testing panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a 6 month old baby and thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel we were given the opportunity to try the Graco Merge Travel System. Here are some things I enjoyed about this system. First the ease of putting the infant seat in the stroller was great. You don’t need to add any adapters, you just click it in. The design is very current and stylish. It has a mode that allows all 4 wheels to move and rotate freely. I liked this feature, I just don’t like that you have to hold the button down the whole time you want to use it. You can fold the stroller with just one hand and that makes it easy to use. I will say one design flaw I saw was with the car seat base. The LATCH straps are fastened to the underside of the base. I had a hard time getting my fingers/hand in the small area to unhook the latches. I wish it was easier to store and unstore those straps. Overall I enjoyed using this system. It has made our lives a bit easier to be able to drop the carrier in the stroller and go. Thanks again to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing us to try this travel system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This system is easy to set up, use, and very sleek looking. I love the warm sable color - it is a really pretty gray/brown. The infant seat is lightweight (important as baby gets heavier!) and clicks into and out of the base easily. I also love that the infant seat clicks into the stroller without having to buy an additional adapter. The easy recline only takes one hand to do - much easier than my last stroller! It's very smooth up and down which is key when kiddo falls asleep in the stroller and I need to recline it without waking them up. The 1-handed fold is convenient, I find most strollers have that nowadays so I have come to expect it. It comes with 2 accessories - cup holder and snack tray. The snack tray clips on in two different directions which will be great as kiddo grows. Another feature I love is the zipper compartment perfect for a phone (no need to buy a separate stroller organizer!) and the little flap to peek down at kiddo and see if they are asleep. The wheels turn 360 (you have to grasp the handlebar which I didn't realize at first!) which will be really helpful as I live in a busy city and often need to manuever in tight spaces and corners. But I honestly think the best part of this stroller is the storage basket! It is really big, but even better has a large opening in the back. My previous stroller had a large basket but the bar underneath was so far back that you couldn't get a large item into it easily. I added a photo showing my diaper bag in the bottom storage basket, easy in and out and I still have room for more down there as well. I hate carrying my diaper bag, so this is seriously huge for me! The only thing I am not sure about is the wheels - they are not inflated but rather a soft plastic, I hope they are long lasting but also could easily be replaced if needed after some time. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for letting me try out this stroller system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system. I love the brand Graco and have always used this trusted brand with my first two babies. Just had my 3rd baby and we are over the moon for this travel system. So easy to install, the materials on this stroller and car seat are so soft and nice for a newborn baby. With my two other kiddos being much older I only need a single travel system and this one is it. It’s so compact and easy to take out for running errands with a baby. Everything about it is lightweight, breathable material, compact for easy travel for quick errands and honestly top notch quality. It’s even so easy for my oldest who’s 7 to be able to push his new baby brother in the stroller for a quick stroll. The wheels and easy 360 maneuver makes for a durable and easy ride when trying to navigate through doorways or aisles for errands. Love the fact that this stroller came with a snack tray and will definitely make use of this as my newest smallest babe grows more and more. The storage on the bottom compartment is a great size. Was worried that the stroller being so compact would effect its storage ability as I do have 3 kids but it didn’t take away from being able to make full use of its bin underneath. Overall we really love this and it’s easy use to adapt for our growing family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a busy mother of two I’m constantly looking for the newest and best products for my children. I’ve previously tried another full travel system as well as a compact stroller/car seat combo; neither of which really met my expectations of comfort, style, and practicality. I’m thrilled to be able to say I finally found a travel system that does it all! Graco’s Merge Travel System has been a game changer as a mom who runs errands solo most of the time its lightweight car seat and stroller have been great. The four 360° wheels and slim frame make navigating tight spaces a breeze, while the large basket underneath can easily accommodate everything my baby needs on a walk or trip to the store with extra room to fit groceries! The look of the stroller is sleek and luxurious, I LOVE the brown leather on the handle of the stroller and the material in the car seat and stroller seat is a beautiful color and comfy for my baby. I can’t forget my favorite part: ONE HANDED FOLD! This has been such a game changer when out and about just baby and me, it’s so convenient and easy to do while I have my hands full. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system. I was very excited about it and getting the opportunity to try it. With my first son I was a Graco loyalist and only used their products for his car seats and strollers, so I really wanted to love this product. And it’s a decent option, but was also kind of a miss for me personally. I love the look of it. It’s a great classic color and at first glance looks really well made. The car seat is compact but roomy, my son was very comfortable in it. However, I think the canopy on the car seat looks very cheaply made. Same with the stroller. I love the color and my son actually liked sitting in it and riding in it. I loved that they included a snack tray and cup holder for the parents. The maneuverability of the stroller is incredible. It’s sturdy and lightweight and moves like a dream around corners and through crowds. We took it to a couple trunk or treats and the way it moved came in handy. Honestly, that feature alone makes the system worth it. It’s incredibly easy to set up and fold down with one hand. It’s also light enough that I was able to put it into the trunk while holding my baby. Besides the cheapness of the canopy, the other reason it’s not getting 5 stars is mostly related to the car seat. The base does not have LATCH straps and is difficult to loosen and tighten and install into the car. It is even more difficult to remove. The straps on the car seat itself is also incredibly difficult to tighten and loosen. When unlatching the car seat from the base when exiting the car, if you don’t pull it straight up, it will not unlatch and can be difficult to get out which is incredibly frustrating when your hands are full with bags and stuff. If you’re just looking for a stroller, I definitely recommend this one. But I think there are better car seats out there.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system. Overall, the Merge travel system is a winner. I'm going to break down my thoughts of both the stroller and car seat! Car seat (SnugRide® Lite DLX) Pros: this car seat is LIGHTWEIGHT! For a mama with weak arms, this makes such a difference in my ability to lift/carry her around. The seat attaches to the car without a base, which is a necessity for travel. It's a super simple buckle process and the flat front edge of the car seat makes the buckling nice and tight. Considerations: I would have liked the canopy to be slightly longer since my girl hates having the sun in her eyes! Though when using the seat in the stroller, the stroller canopy adds more coverage. Lastly, my baby girl is very little and I added an additional padding around her head for her to be a bit more snug/secure in the seat. I don't mind this becuase I know she will have more time in the seat before growing out of it, but it is an important consideration. Stroller Pros: This stroller folds nice and compact and really easily. It's a one hand fold! My other stroller isn't and for the amount of times you open/close a stroller, it gets frustrating! For such a sturdy stroller, it's great that it isn't as chunky/heavy as some competitors. The compact size doesn't include the storage basket, which is nice and big! The fancy wheel movement is a bonus; I used it the most at the airport navigating security. I like the color, it doesn't show stains easily and the material is nice and soft! The wheels navigated neighborhood walks very well, along with some uneven grass. Considerations: There isn't much to dislike about this stroller! I'd say my one note here is that the handle bar height was great for me at 5'3", but a bit short for my husband. It would have been nice to be able to adjust it. I would have also liked the stroller accessories like the snack tray and cup holder to be a bit higher quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay, let’s talk about this Graco Merge travel system that I was so generously gifted by the Stellar Product Testing Panel — because wow, it honestly surprised me in the best way. For the price point, it delivers so much more than I expected. The first thing that caught my attention? The maneuverability. I’ve owned my fair share of strollers and travel systems over the years, but I’ve never seen anything quite like this. With just the click of a button, all four wheels can completely rotate sideways, which means no more awkward lifting or redirecting in tight spaces. You literally glide past people, displays, or doorways with ease. It’s a total game-changer for moms who are always on the go (and especially if you’re trying to juggle holding a toddler’s hand while pushing the stroller like I am). Visually, the design is just as impressive. The color palette is sleek and neutral — perfect for my minimalist, neutral-loving aesthetic. It looks polished without screaming for attention, which I absolutely love. The frame feels modern, but still practical for everyday life. Now, let’s talk about convenience — because as a mom of four, I don’t have time for complicated setups. The one-hand fold? Chef’s kiss. Truly, it’s one of those features you don’t realize how much you’ll rely on until you have it. Whether I’m holding a diaper bag, a coffee, or wrangling a little one, being able to fold the stroller with one hand makes life so much easier. Outings with my littles have become noticeably smoother. I can maneuver and fold single-handedly, click the car seat into place, and be out the door in seconds. It’s given me such peace of mind knowing that I can handle everything solo — no fumbling, no frustration, just smooth transitions. If I had to mention one drawback, it would be purely from an aesthetic standpoint. The stroller seat is permanent, so while you can click the car seat right into it, it doesn’t have that ultra-streamlined “travel system” look where the car seat replaces the stroller seat. Personally, I prefer the clean look of the car seat-only setup, but I totally understand the design choice — it makes the system more practical and easier to use on the go. Overall, this travel system delivers major value. Between the beautiful design, the unbeatable maneuverability, and the pure convenience of being able to do everything with one hand, it’s quickly become a favorite in our home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mom of four, including a 7-month-old, I’ve tried many strollers and car seat systems over the years, and the Graco Merge Travel System has been one of the most user-friendly. The car seat clicks securely into the base and stroller, giving me confidence that my baby is safe and snug. Installation was straightforward, and the seat feels sturdy but still comfortable for longer rides. I'm glad I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel so I could try it out! What stands out most is how easy it is to handle and maneuver. The stroller glides smoothly, even on uneven pathways, and it’s light enough that I can steer it easily with one hand — a big help when I’m making calls or drinking my coffee on the go. The one-handed fold is another huge plus; it collapses quickly and fits neatly into my trunk without any hassle, even among all the other belongings taking up the space. The overall design feels well thought out — there’s plenty of storage underneath, and the canopy offers good coverage. It’s a reliable, safe, and practical travel system that makes getting out of the house with a baby much simpler.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received this product as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and absolutely love this travel system, everything from the car seat to the stroller and functionality. Appearance: The system overall is absolutely beautiful. The warm brownish color is very unique and elegant, while the leather handles provide an elegant feel and upscale look. Feel: lightweight yet sturdy. We have another travel system and stroller that is very similar in function and size, but it is incredibly lightweight and will move in slight wind. Ultimately it feels like structure and integrity was sacrificed a bit for a lighter weight in the other stroller but that is not the case with the Graco Merge. Functionality: the merge stroller is super easy to handle, with or without the car seat. It folds nicely and stands by itself in a storage position which is very convenient. It collapses easily either one hand and unfolds without issue. The car seats clicks in with ease and we haven’t had any issues with the connection or any type of wobbling or unsteadiness. Features: The size of the canopy on both the stroller the car seat are fantastic and provide ample coverage. When used simultaneously it creates an enclosure for a sleeping baby or just to give your little one a break from external stimulation. The padding of the seats seems perfect and the straps sre positioned for ultimate comfort and security. The 360 degree swivel on all 4 wheels makes navigating crowded or tight areas a breeze. It’s very easy to push without much effort - we’ve used it in stores, on walks, at the zoo, in the children’s museum, on vacation, etc. and couldn’t be happier with it. Overall: We recommend this travel system to anyone looking for a functional and visually appealing travel system that doesn’t break the bank. It hasn’t fallen short in any category, from everyday use and functionality to comfort and appearance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This system is incredible! There is no turn too tight for the stroller. When you have pushed a cart with 4-wheel maneuverability it is hard to go back. The car seat snaps in and out of the base with ease. I really like the accents on the handle. It is a great color. It looks so classy. My only criticism is that there is a bit of a learning curve when folding up the stroller. You have to find the pull strap which isn't super intuitive. Once you know what you are doing it is easy. I did receive this system through the Stellar Product Testing Panel! I could not be happier with the product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is SO much easier to navigate crowded spaces when all four wheels of your stroller can swivel! I was given this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. My wife & I did our best to put it through the paces with our 3 week old. The set includes a great stroller and versatile infant car seat, with an optional base. From narrow aisles in the grocery store, to waves of people at the fall festival, the stroller handles obstacles smoothly. Under normal use, the back wheels are locked in the forward/backward orientation, but with the press of a button in the handlebar, those same wheels rotate 360 degrees. This truly gives you so much freedom to cruise around any tight passageway. Additionally, the storage space underneath the seat is very roomy and easily fit our large diaper bag. I love that the infant car seat allows you to use it with or without the included base, depending on your needs. Installation of the base in my sedan was a little cumbersome, but we managed to get setup in about 15 minutes. The sun shade is fairly easy to adjust, but I wish it extended further down to provide more protection. When used with the stroller, the baby can be fully covered; however, shade was lacking for those times when we didn't want to bring the full setup with us. Overall, I am very pleased with the Graco Merge Travel System! My wife and I found the features to be well thought out and more functional than we had initially anticipated. Despite the minor issues with the car seat, I would still recommend this product. It really does make traversing congested areas so much simpler and I love that the set will grow with our baby as he gets older.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this travel system from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. My overall impression of the Graco Merge Travel System is that it’s a thoughtfully designed, high-quality combo that really simplifies outings with a baby. It looks sleek and modern, with great attention to detail — I especially love the leatherette handle, which gives it a more premium feel, and the removable child’s tray, which makes cleaning up after snack time so easy. It feels sturdy and stylish, not bulky or overly complicated. When it comes to maneuverability, this stroller is a standout. It glides smoothly and feels light to push, even one-handed. My favorite feature is the 360° maneuver mode, activated by a button in the middle of the handle. When pressed, it allows the back wheels to rotate 360°, making navigating smaller spaces effortless. When you release the button and the wheels straighten, they automatically lock back in place. It’s such a clever design and genuinely useful in day-to-day use. The one-hand fold is another feature that makes a huge difference for everyday outings. It’s truly easy to do while holding your baby or bags, and the stroller folds down compactly with a solid click that feels secure. It fits neatly in the trunk and doesn’t require any wrestling or readjusting to store. The included Graco SnugRide Lite DLX Infant Car Seat also adds a ton of convenience. It clicks in and out smoothly, both from the base in the car and onto the stroller frame, so transitions between car rides and walks are quick and seamless — especially helpful when your baby falls asleep mid-trip. My baby also seems really comfortable in the seat, which gives me peace of mind on longer drives. Things to watch for: There’s really not much to complain about, but if you’re often on rough terrain or gravel paths, you might prefer something with larger, more rugged tires. The Merge is best suited for everyday use — sidewalks, stores, parks, and errands — where smooth maneuverability and compact folding matter most. Overall, the Graco Merge Travel System feels like a perfect mix of style, practicality, and innovation. The 360° maneuver mode and one-hand fold make life easier, while the SnugRide Lite DLX Car Seat keeps things simple and safe for quick transitions. It’s a great choice for parents who want function without sacrificing looks or convenience.
