The first is brand. Looking at the brand of the product is often a really good indicator for judging product quality. For example you’d expect a much higher quality product from a brand known for providing excellent quality than you would from an unknown or even a budget brand. If the brand you buy is important to you, our best advice is to spend some time writing up your own list of ideal brands. That way when you come to the point where you’re comparing product options you can filter to only show the products from brands in your list.

The next step after looking at products in the same category, was to look at products from the same brand, Graco. The wheels on the Graco Evo Avant travel system are hard, rather than air or foam-filled (there is the Graco Evo’s big brother, the Evo XT if off-roading wheels are a must for you), but yet I was surprised at the noticeable smoothness of the suspension. The next step was to try and narrow down our search even more. So we’ve already looked the prices of products in the Travel systems category. Then we’ve also looked at the prices of products from Graco. So this step combines the two and looks specifically at the price you’d expect to pay for Graco branded products in the Travel systems category. The Graco Evo is fully reversible and can be forward facing or parent facing depending on the way you position the reversible seat on the Graco Evo frame. It can lie flat from newborn however there is a Graco Evo Carrycot that’s sold separately that can also be used from birth as well as a matching Junior Babyor SnugSafe Car Seats that can also be used with the stroller to create the Graco Evo travel system. The car seat we reviewed previously as part of the Graco Sky review and there isn’t a dedicated Graco Evo car seat.The Graco Near2Me Travel System is for strolling closer than ever together. Raise the Slide2Me height adjustment in pushchair, carrycot or infant car seat modes to bring your infant closer for face-to-face smiles and precious interactions on everyday strolls. We found the shopping basket on the Graco Evo is a really good size and we could fit our changing bag, raincover and a lot of shopping into it – a definite plus point for any family. The Graco Evo pushchair is one of the best strollers and travel systems we have used and a great investment for any new mum or young family.

The brand of product you buy can vary in importance, from person to person. Some people will of course be much more particular about the brands they will use. Whilst others aren’t interested in the brand and are more interested in the overall quality or price of the product itself. Thankfully Graco is a brand that many customers have grown to love over the years and is very popular for items in the Travel systems category. To clean the harness straps: surface wash only with mild soap and a damp cloth. Do not immerse the harness straps in water, doing so may weaken the straps. I might have gone a little bit overboard with the photos of our Graco Evo Avant pushchair. Otto was in such a good mood for posing for the camera, this entire review is really just an excuse to show you how cute he was being! It has hard tyres which were ok, you can tell they aren't pneumatic when pushing but they took most surfaces really well including mulch and gravel (as long as your not going too fast) and the vibrations weren't too much on my hands (as other hard tyres often are). There are lots of extra features to bear in mind when choosing a travel system. Most travel systems have a compact fold to fit your boot. Look out for models with one-hand or one-push folding systems—they’ll make sure you always have a hand free for baby. Some models will include a changing bag or shopping basket for baby’s essentials, or a canopy for shade. And in the UK a travel system that comes with a raincover is always a good choice!As my first Graco Ambassador review since the Graco Sky we have been putting the Graco Evo through its paces. The Graco Evo is very similar to the Graco Sky and so from the minute we took it out the box it felt familiar and has been a great pushchair to use. What were our first impressions of the Graco Evo Stroller? Next up is material. Read through the product description for Graco Evo Travel System to get an understanding of the materials the product is made from. Some materials will obviously be known for delivering better quality item than others. You might also have decided that you’ll only accept a product made from a particular material. The Mutsy Evo looks really pretty and the fabric on mine really glistens in the sunlight. I also get lots of people stop me and ask what it is as it looks very sleek, for the price I think thats one of its best features is how it looks. We’ve used several infant car seats in the past, and they’ve all been very similar, with limited additional features. Which is why I was so pleased to see that Graco’s SnugRide has extra functionality that really comes in useful.
