The Graco Snugrider Elite Stroller is meant to carry all Graco infant car seats, including the Graco Classic Connect and Click Connect Infant Car Seats.
Carrying around a car seat with an infant in it can get heavy as your child grows. It is ideal to have a stroller to click your Graco car seat into so you can easily move around with no hassle.
Here Are The 8 Important Things About The Graco Snugrider Elite Stroller
Graco Snugrider Elite Stroller*
1. It Is Easy To Maneuver With One Hand
This is a major advantage because you never know what you need your other hand for.
Parents often multi-task. If you can deal with pushing this stroller single handedly without compromising safety, then it sure is a good thing.
2. It Will Fit Your Car Seat Perfectly
If you have a Graco Classic Connect infant car seat or a Graco Click Connect car seat,* you are assured that it’s an easy click and go experience.
3. You Can Adjust The Handle To Your Desired Height
It’s also a bonus to be able to push a stroller without hunching your back. It’s something that tall parents will appreciate.
4. The Storage Basket Is Hard To Access Once The Car Seat Is In The Stroller
I hope that will Graco somehow redesign the stroller because accessibility to your things is one of the most important things to consider.
Parents who bought this stroller complain that once the infant car seat is clicked onto the stroller frame, it is tricky to access your diaper bag underneath.
While it is never ideal to hang your diaper bag to a stroller handle, carrying a diaper bag backpack will probably help if you are going to get this stroller frame.
Take note, however, that the basket has a zippered pocket should you need to keep some of your essentials that need safe-keeping.
5. It Has AÂ Parent Tray With Two DEEP Cup Holders
I swear that some parents take this seriously. Having a means to easily access your drinks, for instance, is a big plus for parents who are always on the go.
And the cup holders being deep means that your drinks will be extra secured from spills.
6. It Is Challenging To Open And Close It
The button to press so that it can be folded and opened can get stuck as you use it.
In order to help you see how it works, watch this video.
7. It Is Bulky When Folded
Is the stroller’s dimension when it is folded important to you? Do you have limited space in your car trunk to put this to? Take note that it can take some space in your trunk.
But don’t worry. It’s nothing compared to when you are putting in a humungous jogging stroller. LOL
Here are the dimensions when folded.
- Height: 10.5 inches
- Length: 31.5 inches
- Width: 19.4 inches
8. It Can Stand On Its Own When Folded
A parent who always goes out of the house alone will surely love that once the stroller is folded, it can be left alone as it can stand on its own.
There is nothing worse than finding yourself holding so many things at the same time.

Conclusion
Graco has made this stroller exclusive for Graco infant car seats. That being said, parents who decide to get an infant car seat carrying a different brand should look into getting a stroller frame that is compatible with their brand.
Are you a parent who is not looking to acquire a travel system stroller but needs the means to be mobile without torturing yourself with the weight of your infant car seat? Then the Graco Snugrider Elite Stroller And Car Seat Carrier is a decent choice that can help you with the job.
Using a stroller organizer* will tremendously help with easily accessing your important stuff. Also, you can show the wheels some love by frequently avoiding rough roads.

Is this gonna be something you’ll be including in your baby registry wish list?
I highly suggest that you check out the feedbacks of parents who got this stroller frame to help you decide more.

Hi Pitin, I read each of the points you raised regarding the Graco Stroller for Graco car seats.
And yes, I hear that it may make it difficult to access the storage net underneath. Or that it may be bulkier than expected when folded.
But I wish I’d had a stroller to carry my car seat when my son was a baby!! I bought a pushchair where you could clip the car seat onto. The difference, I expect, is that the pushchair would have been even bulkier and heavier than an aluminum framed stroller.
The way I see it is this: mums to be, don’t miss this opportunity, grab yourselves a car seat stroller, because you’ve got no idea how heavy your baby is going to turn in no time through gaining growing weight, but more so after you start accumulating tiredness by having your sleep disrupted regularly!!!
Hi Giulia,
I think a car seat stroller is a practical choice for parents who are not decided yet what stroller to get but needs to be mobile in the early months of their child. It is not as expensive as a full-featured stroller but it will tremendously help carry the growing weight of the baby inside an infant car seat.
And yes I agree that the first few months of being a first time parent is the most tiring of all! The least we want is to be drained up by carrying a heavy car seat around.

Pitin
Hi! As a new mom I have been looking for ways to help transport my baby around without breaking my back. So I really appreciated this article. When do you think this would be useful to use? Is it for going to the park, or the store? I just put the baby’s carseat on the cart as I shop, and I don’t think this would be very convenient in a store having to also push a shopping cart. Do you think it should be used to replace a jogging stroller? Is it going to be durable enough to withstand a lot of walking?
Hi Rachel,
I think if you will be doing your grocery shopping and expect to buy a lot, it would be good that someone else would be in charge to push the shopping cart (hubby) and the stroller separately (mommy). It’s because it is never safe to place an infant car seat in a grocery shopping cart. It is one of the most unsafe practices that most parents are guilty of doing.
I think this would be useful to use when you are going somewhere with a flat surface. It will not perform well off-roads. The park should be okay as well as long walking, as long as the road is not that rough.
Also, the wheels of this stroller is not meant for jogging.

Pitin
