The Graco Passage 540 Travel System 7260BAN3 is a matching car seat and full-size stroller that comes in an attractive neutral pattern known as Bancroft  and also in a pink/plaid pattern.

The stroller that comes with the Graco Passage 540 Travel System is a practical choice. There is a five-point harness, and we like the option to convert it to a three-point harness. The seat reclines to multiple positions, including a lie-flat position. Unlike some strollers, it has plenty of storage (underseat, side pockets and a parent tray). But, as much as we like the total package this travel system presents, there are some design flaws we cannot overlook. We like the fact that the stroller has a child tray that pivots. There is a large canopy, but we do not like the peek-through window because it does not have a fabric cover. The sun coming through the window can make a child quite uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the handlebar does not adjust, and this is a feature we look for on strollers. Plus, the stroller doesn't live up to its one-hand fold hype. We find it takes two hands to get the job done. That said, the stroller automatically locks when in the folded position, and that's a feature we appreciate. The stroller isn't particularly easy to steer; it has front wheel suspension, but we'd prefer all-wheel suspension.

The matching car seat, however, has one of our favorite features: removable, machine-washable seat covers. It is comfortably padded and the five-point harness is easy to adjust. We like the two-piece chest clip. Unlike some one-piece chest clips, this one helps keep the straps from twisting, and it is easy to push together. The car seat snaps easily into the matching leave-in-car base (included).

The Graco Passage 540 Travel System in Bancroft is an attractive all-in-one package, but the stroller design could be improved.


Pros: One-hand fold, lightweight stroller, car seat easy to use
Cons: Handlebar doesn't adjust, seat cushions cannot be removed, hard to steer
