Graco Mosaic

I loved the look of the graco mosaic travel system & while our son was a new born it was perfect. Although when he started getting bigger it began to get harder to push. I had to have the back repaired quite early on & soon after that the footstrap ( which did nothing anyway because of the strange angle) had started to spilt, i eventually had to cut it off as it was dangerous. I would warn people well away from this pushchair...far too much money for a bad item. Also the seat didn't sit up fully & it was very weak & flimsy. spend your money on something else.

Car seat was nice and snug when little one was a baby and it was great how you could just pop it on the pram and it felt secure. The pram itself is a pain. Sometimes it wont close up and I spend ages messing with it. The brakes work when they want to work and the wheels squeak like mad and it doesn't matter how much WD40 you spray on it, its not going! When using the pram in a sitting position it doesn't sit up all the way. My Son never gets to see what's going on around him because he's always half lying down. As for the rain cover, I just but a universal one. Don't even attempt the one it comes with. Will probably save you relationship by following this advice.

On a plus side its a light pram that folds to fit the smallest of boots when it does fold down. And it doesn't matter how much you kick it, its still not snapped or bent so I guess it has something going for it.

I have no problems at all with the car seat part i loved it, was so easy t take on and off and was very secure. Now that m daughter is in the buggy i am very disapointed...the wheels get worn very easily and the wheels squeak. The buggy doesnt seem to sit up at all and slides back down to a lie down position..i feel it was a waste of money for the buggy side of things and the storage under neath is very small. O the plus side of the bugg i found the pocket at back very handy for my keys and purse.

i brought this pram before my son was born as it seemed to have everything i needed, my son is now 15 weeks old and the pram is nearly useless the wheels squeak< go in what ever direction they please and the wheels have worn down so far. the brake sticks so sometimes i need to press twice for it to work. he rain cover in my opinion does not fit properly leaving many parts of the pram open to the rain. the only good thing i found with this system was the car seat easy to clip on and off of the pram but the pram is awful and i do not rate it at all. i would not recommend this to anyone, we are now having to buy a new stroller for my son at such an early age :(

We bought the Graco Mosaic Travel System 2 months before my daughter was born from Mothercare and initially thought it was a great price, think it was £180 and looked like it would do the job, my husband gave it a test drive around the store and thought it was great. When my daughter was born, the pram was great with the car seat as it just clicks in and has padding round the head to support the baby's necks, I have no problems with the car seat it is brilliant. But the pram itself isn't so good.. the wheels are rubbish, they have worn down after only 5 months of using it (and not walking with it that much either) the brake sometimes gets stuck and I have been in situations where I'm on a train and it stops at the stop I want to get off at and I couldnt take the brake off so have had to stay on- very frustrating!

Also, when you lie your baby down in it when they aren't in the car seat anymore, it isn't very supportive of their back and it's very worrying going over cobbles or bumpy paths cos the baby wobbles inside, it also doesn't sit upright it slips back down. There is a strap at the back that u pull and its meant to sit the pram up, it does but then it slips back down after about 30 seconds of pushing the pram.

I also think it looks unsightly when it has the car seat clipped in, it doesn't look smart or nice like some other prams, can see the big red clip on the front and has the stickers on it about the safety warnings, looks awful.

We have just bought a new pram because of all these problems after 6 months of having it! Not good, hopefully the new pram will be better.

Wouldn't recommend it at all.

I hate this travel system and would advise anyone to stay well clear of it! To begin with it was fine, everything I was looking for, lightweight etc, but there is a serious flaw in the design, which I only discoverd when my baby was 5 months. You cannot sit the seat up very high at all, even in the most upright position baby is still really reclined, and as my baby has got older she wants to be sat up, rendering this pushchair pretty useless. She is only 5 months and Im gonna have to buy a new pushchair! although its cheap its bad value for money as it just wont last, im in the preocess of trying to refund mine now!

The travel system was good initially when used with the car seat. However, the pram only stays in the recline position. There is a strap which is meant to be used to hold the seat into 5 different positions. however, the seat just falls straight back down into the recline position. I have had to buy a new buggy as my baby does not like lying down all the time. this travel system is only good when used with the car seat. in addition, it is very heavy and difficult to fit through doors and also takes up a whole boot of a car.i would not recommend this.

thought this buggy was ok at first always been a bit weary of graco, but thought it looked ok, however after just a week of having it the catch got stuck in the up position for no reason, took it back to toys r us where i bought it they sorted it out and made me feel very intimadated when they asked me what i wanted to do about it as so they said there was nothing wrong with it. i ased for an exchange but they said they would not do this unless it happenes again. also my 2 year old son who is short for his age seams to be too long for the buggy his feet rub on the weels also i cant use the five point harness to strap him in safley as they are too tight, so over all not safe at all the pram says suitable from birth to 36 months but it dosnt seam suitable for birth age as it does not lay completeley flat and is deffinatley not suitable for children over 18months as it is not big enough.

This seemed ideal when I bought it, the right size, lightweight, travel system, just what I was looking for. However, I soon realised that the plastic wheels are no good for steering on smooth surfaces (shopping mall or supermarket floors) so had to keep the wheels in a locked position which is very annoying when trying to steer in tight spots. Also, the fabric ripped and one of the supports holding up the seat pack popped out. It lasted less than a year! Very disappointing! Unfortunately there's not much in this size & weight on the market so still seems tempting but I think you will definitley regret this purchase.

I bought this travel system when my son was born and it advertises from birth up to 36 months however my son is not even 1 yet and I have had to go and buy him another pushchair as the straps are too tight on him. I have them at the last and they are still too tight especially when he has his coat on and my son is not a big baby, he is actually small for his age. He is only 22lbs and still in 6-9 mth clothing so its not even the clothes that are too bulky. When I am strapping him in I had to pull his shoulders down so the straps would reach the croch strap, it was terrible. I contacted the company however surprise surprise never heard back from them. Before this though I never had any probs with it. The only other downfall was when the carseat is attached to the buggy to make it into a pram you cannot get your hand into the basket underneath its impossible. Its an average pushchair and done the job for us for a year but not the 3 years it advertises. It also has very squeaky wheels and the wheels pull to one side. The design is nice and looks more expensive than it is.
