This version seems to have some different features than the one I bought last week, but still pretty similar. Mine does not have the thermometer mentioned or clock, and also does not have the zipper cover for the plastic window, but I still love it.

I bought this stroller when I was expecting my second child, and before she was born I used it with my then-3-year-old for awhile. She fit, and it’s roomy, but it’s not great for us. I used it with my newborns car seat, and I love that the canopies meet, it’s a great feature, but you can get the same result with a blanket, and we always have those on hand. I have to say, I love the bassinet feature. That’s great. But my baby grew out of it fast, and when it came time for her to use the stroller without the infant seat, it wasn’t fun anymore. She had room, but never seemed comfy. She’s 15 months old now and we’ve given it to my sister to try out. My daughter could get out of the straps and the footrest was in the wrong spot. It was a bumpy ride, and pushing it was hard for me, it’s a big stroller and it pushes like a double. It shouldn’t. It’s also not very well padded, and the handle isn’t in the right place for me and I’m 5’7. It’s not right for us.

Overall, it’s good if all you do is walk on smooth surfaces, just remember, you get what you pay for.

I happen to think my Quattro Tour is wonderful, mine has rubber tread tires, not the hard plastic ones and the ride seems quite comfortable for my daughter, however, the one thing I do agree with on your review is the zippered window on the canopy. Graco could have done a better job there, but that’s a very minor issue.

We have both the Quattro Tour and the Quattro Duo (the double version) and love both of them! The one downfall of the Quattro Tour is it’s size. It’s HUGE. Otherwise, we’ve had ours for 4 years and two kids and it still looks and handles brand new.

My favorite part is the fully reclineable seat. We used the stroller from birth on and never used it with a carseat.

I actually disagree with what the reviewer says about not using it for walks and on muddy terrain. We never had any problem at all and that’s what we use ours for 90% of the time. The Quattro Tour Deluxe actually has rubber wheels instead of plastic too, so it depends on the style, but ours has plastic and they work fine. It handles bumps easily and I wheel it on dirt and even mulch all the time with no problems.

It certainly isn’t a stroller you want to pop in and out of the trunk of your car everyday, but otherwise for the price I thought it was exceptional.
