TheMomBuzz received the Graco Aire3 to review and provide her honest opinion to other parents.
The other day my husband was assembling our newest stroller, the Graco Aire3 Click Connect Stroller. We’ve been assembling strollers since 2006, so we are pretty good at it. I still remember the first stroller my husband assembled, with all the parts on the floor and directions on hand. Since then we can take most of them out of the box and assemble under 30 minutes.
But I have to say, we were both impressed with the ease of assembly of the Graco Aire3 Click Connect Stroller. It took seconds. We simply had to put on the front wheels. The stroller came practically pre-assembled, with a wheel to put in place and an optional child armrest/cupholder bar. The stroller was amazingly compact in the box and I kept my fingers crossed that it would be easy to replicate that once I used it and tried to fold it again. (It did.)
The Graco Aire3 Click Connect Stroller is only 21 pounds. Considering I still hold my kids at church, during parades, or when they don’t feel good – 21 pounds is NOTHING. My oldest was 25 pounds when he was just 12 months old. And right now my boys are 38 and 42 pounds. So a 21 pound stroller is extremely lightweight nowadays, both compared to my kids and to other strollers that are on the market.
The Graco Aire3 Click Connect Stroller is intended for children up to 50 pounds. If you love using car seats, it is compatible with Graco SnugRide Click Connect Infant Car Seats. With my first, he was often moved around from stroller to car and back again in his car seat.
With my second, I liked just using the stroller sans car seat. He was usually awake anyways so I wasn’t trying to keep him asleep in a car seat. That said, you want a stroller that reclines for those instances. The Graco Aire3 Click Connect Stroller’s multi-position seat reclines flat for just this purpose, to allow your infant to be safely positioned and it allows toddlers and preschoolers to comfortably nap.
It can grow with your child from when they are an infant until those 50 pounds. use it with the infant car seat, 5 point harness or 3 point harness. Put up the child arm rest with cup holder or remove it when it gets in the way.
It has a 3 wheel design. The front wheels is actually two wheels on one pivoting axle, which gives it extreme maneuverability while maintaining its stability. It’s a huge plus when walking around the mall or theme parks.
It has the extras I expect, such as a canopy to protect the kids from the sun and a nice, deep basket. But what really makes it stand out is how lightweight and easy it is to fold.
