3D Mini compared to Graco TraveLite
I ordered both the Graco and Summer 3D stroller. Here is my opinion on the Graco compared with the Summer.
Graco has taller handles, great for taller people, not necessary for my husband and me since we are of average height.
The storage bin is much more accessible and is larger on the Graco due to thefolding mechanism (see photos). I prefer the Graco when it comes to folding and unfolding, they have provided larger handles for those maneuvers. However the latch that keeps the stroller closed doesn’t keep the stroller as compact as it could be. Graco has provided a carrying handle mounted onto a side bar, a nice feature I think. The seat does recline, but certainly not suited for a baby under 6months. The straps are adjustable, but the Summer stroller allows for much more adjustable variations. Both strollers reclined with ease. One downside of the Graco strap: when unbuckled the over the shoulder straps don’t stay attached to the waist straps. This make for 2 issues. 1. The strap comfort pads slide off every time you unbuckle 2. You have to reattach these every time you want to buckle up the kiddo. I appreciated the Summer stroller in this aspect, the shoulder straps clip onto the waist straps. Allowing them to be removed, only when you so choose. I preferred the Graco cup holder over the Summer, because it’s removable and plastic. The Summer cup holder is made of material, it is flimsy, and not easily cleanable. The plus on the Summer stroller cup holder is that it has a zipper pouch for accessories, phone, etc. The Graco has a removable lap bar, while the Summer stroller does not offer this feature. They both seemed equally easy to push. The Graco has bigger wheels, making it easier to push through dirt and rocks. Overall the Summer Lite Stroller is smaller, more compact, and lighter. My husband ended up picking the Summer Lite Stroller due to its smaller size and he preferred its features over the Graco. We gifted the Graco to my 6ft tall sister and brother-in law who we thought would appreciate its larger/taller size.
