Easy to use; Light.
Best little light stroller. Looks sharp. Moves with ease. Wheel locks really work.
Lightweight alternative to big wagon
We love this lightweight stroller frame that can go with us wherever we go. The car seat clicks in and out with ease and It’s a great alternative to our wagon when we want to go shopping or do a quick trip somewhere. I can collapse it and throw it in my trunk with one arm!
Difficult to remove car seat!!
I bought this to help with ease during my daily routine as I have a lot of back pain from a recent surgery. I found it incredibly difficult to get the car seat onto the frame. My husband even tried it and he had difficulties then when you want to remove the car seat from the frame that is also not easy. The actual frame itself folds up really nice and is lightweight for reference. It seems that there are two different designs as the go max I have the most recent design without the bar.
Recommend
Love how lightweight and convenient it is. Can use with one hand. Space saving
Best purchase!
We Love it! It was exactly what we were looking for it’s light weight easy to fold and put away.
Everything I have been looking for!
Buy it!! This stroller frame is everything I wish I would have bought with my first two children. It is so easy to use, can be folded with one hand, lightweight, and compact. I can fit it between the front and back seats by the car seat so it’s easy to just grab and go. The car seat can also face you as your pushing the stroller, or can face away to give baby a better view. I use this several times a day. I could not love this product more.
Great Product
I love how compact and light it is. I also grabbed this on sale, so I would recommend this product for that alone. It is 100x more attractive than the original car seat caddy. It can click with any Graco click connect car seat so it is perfect in my opinion. I didn't want anything else and am excited to use it.
One flaw
This is a Great product just wish it was adjustable
Fits perfectly with my infant carseat and its simple and sleek
Worth every penny!
Used it for my babies first flight and truly a life saver! The carrying bag is one of the main reasons I got it and the stroller is so easy to open and close before or after flights. Worth the money!! I love Graco
Compact stroller, worth the buy!
Compact stroller that fits our lifestyle. We have the modes nest stroller for heavier duty days that require the space but while traveling on quick errands or eating at restaurants, this stroller is the best! It’s folds down easily and fits in the space between the car seat and the vehicle seat. It works with any intact car seat from graco.
Best compact stroller frame!
I absolutely love this stroller frame! It's compatible with the Graco infant click seat I already have so that's a plus for me. As a first-time mom I dont like to leave the house too much with my newborn, but this frame is so lightweight and compact it makes it easy to go to the stores and run errands! Highly recommend!
Great purchase
This stroller is perfect. I was gifted a travel system for my shower which is great but the stroller frame that it came with is kind of bulky. My husband and I both drive sedans and of course have full trunks so traveling with that could be difficult. When I saw this stroller I knew it would be perfect. It’s so lightweight and super easy to fold and unfold. And even in my full trunk fits perfectly! It rides so smoothly as well. The bag it comes with is nice but honestly we don’t really use it. We keep this stroller in my car for all our outings but use the bigger frame for walks.
Stroller - streamlined design
Easy to use stroller attachment. Not tons of bells and whistles since it is basic but that makes it more compact for the car and lighter for me to manage. Buttons easy to use.
100% recommend! Very compact lightweight stroller!
I love this stroller! Folds very compact and is very very lightweight!! Love that my car seat clicks securely into it! Safe for baby and not super hefty to push around! I love it and 100% recommend!!!
Lightweight, Sleek, Stylish
Love this! It’s super easy and functionable to use.
Small and mighty
This is a great combat stroller to use with a Graco car seat! Easy to fold and store, very lightweight! The travel bag is great as well.
Light and compatible
I love that this worked with the graco snug ride car seat that we already had! It is so easy to fold and unfold. Very very light but still sturdy!
Go max Frame Stroller
Enjoy how compact this stroller is! Very convenient for doing errands.
Worth every penny.
The stroller is fantastic. It compact down and fits below the car seat in my car so when I go to unload, I can just pull it out open it up and pull the car seat directly out and set it on there. No going to the back of your car to grab the stroller attachment. It’s a lightweight and is perfect for your day-to-day outings where you just need something quick And easy. The car seat does sit lower down to the ground then your other strollers, which Can make it hard to store anything in the under storage bin and I don’t quite like how far away my baby is at that point but overall the stroller is amazing
Great Buy
I use this as my main stroller whenever I'm out shopping etc because its so compact and leaves a lot of space in my trunk. My only complaint is that the handle feels a little flimsy sometimes.
Light weight and compact
I recently received this stroller as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and have genuinely fallen in love with it. This stroller has a gorgeous leatherette wrapped handle that quickly and easily adjusts making it comfortable for me and my husband to push our little around. The swivel wheels on the front make for a smooth ride, quickly turning corners without jerking and tugging to keep the stroller straight and jolting our boy awake. My favorite thing about it is how practical it is for us to store and travel with. It folds down in less than 3 seconds and can be stored pretty much anywhere. My car doesn’t have a huge trunk and we live in an apartment with little storage space. Being able to travel with it in the floorboard of the back seat or fold down and store in the coat closet by the front door makes it 10x easier to travel with our boy. It comes with a backpack like bag as well, that while I personally haven’t had a use for yet, might be handy for parents who fly often or travel. The only con I have found is that when the car seat is clicked in, there isn’t much room to store anything in the basket underneath. Oh, and the fact that I didn’t have this for my first born because it would’ve made life a lot easier!
Perfect Accessory
I received this product from the Stellar Review Panel in conjunction with the car seat. This is a must have if you have the attachable car seat! We use it every time we get the seat out due to how light weight and convenient it is. It opens and folds with ease, it comes with a carrying bag and has really nice features. We especially appreciate the built in cup holder, tray by the handle, and the basket on the bottom! These additions make us reach for this stroller over other ones that we already had. I would highly recommend this accessory to the easy latch car seat!! It makes taking the baby in and out a breeze!
My cup fits in the holder
The design of the stroller is really sleek and premium looking. It's has a very high quality appearance and the leather accent is a nice complement. While I personally feel like the car seat sits a bit low in the frame and it's close to the storage basket, the height adjustable handle makes pushing the stroller comfortable. It rides nice and smooth over bumps and the wheels make it a breeze to maneuver. It took me a few trial runs to learn how to fold the car seat but it's easy to do one handed and it's small enough that it fits easily in my 2 door car. I haven't use the carrying bag that came with it just yet but it's a very thoughtful addition to the stroller and I think it'll come in very handy when traveling.
The ULTIMATE Travel Companion
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I’ve been able to take this travel stroller on a few adventures, and it did not disappoint! It's not only extremely functional, it looks sleek and classy too! Having had 4 children I have tested many different strollers. I had a tendency to choose large travel systems. When I received this product I used it every time we had to leave the house. I was amazed at how simple it was to open and close the stroller with one hand. It was so light weight as well making it effortless to get in and out of my vehicle and set up. The compact nature of the frame folds perfectly so that it fits almost anywhere easily. It even came with a backpack storage bag, making using this anywhere, a breeze. With the cup holder and storage right at hand, everything I needed was easily accessible while strolling. Additional storage under the car seat is small but that's what makes this stroller so perfect for traveling. It's truly the perfect stroller for families on the go or even for those quick trips in and out of stores. No more car seat in the shopping cart for us. The swivel wheels make it simple and smooth to maneuver and the leather like handle is a beautiful touch. I would 100% recommend this product to family and friends. If light weight, convenient and comfortable is what you're looking for, THIS is your stroller!
One stop shop car seat
I am so glad I received this through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. With already being a mom with a toddler I was definitely looking for anything to make life simpler. The GoMax frame Stroller definitely made this happen. It is so lightweight and compact I can bring it with me anywhere. The ease of using just one hand to open and close the stroller is a plus especially being a mom of two and hands always being full with something. I promise you it will feel like your gliding on air the way it moves so effortlessly and feels so lightweight. I love the carrying case because it’s a thick material that will definitely protect the stroller and you can throw it on your back just like a backpack. I think what I love the most is the way once you attach the car seat the stroller makes it feel so lightweight like there is basically nothing there. The frame is sturdy and quality material. The wheels are made for longevity and multiple terrains. I absolutely think this is a game changer and a must have for moms. Equipped with a tray and cup holder for the adult and storage space underneath it’s everything you need.
Great Travel Stroller
The sleek and compact design of this stroller immediately caught my eye, making it both stylish and practical. While the height-adjustable handle felt a bit on the shorter side, I really appreciated the flexibility it offered for a more comfortable pushing experience. The front-wheel suspension and swivel wheels were the standout feature for me—it felt incredibly sturdy and made maneuvering effortless, providing a smooth and stable ride for my little one. Folding and unfolding the stroller was a breeze, easily done with one hand, and its compact size made storage a dream, fitting neatly into small spaces like my car trunk or closet. The included backpack storage bag is the ultimate convenience—an absolute game-changer for traveling and on-the-go adventures, making transport seamless and hassle-free. (I received the product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel)
Great stroller
I’ve used a lot of different strollers over the years, but this one stands out in a few ways. For a non-jogging stroller, this stroller moves pretty smoothly over bumps and is easy to maneuver. Joggers I’ve used have better shock absorbing and don’t get caught on my neighborhood’s bumpy sidewalks, but this stroller is lighter, more compact, and easier to transport in my minivan. I The fact that this stroller is part of a system with a car seat also is super convenient for my baby’s age. I’ll be using this stroller as long as she’s in an infant car seat and I’ll use it for any future babies we have. I also really like the sleek look of this stroller and that it comes with a handy carrying case. Stylish and convenient! I received this stroller from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
Easy to maneuver but sits low
I recently received the GoMax Frame Stroller from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Prior to that, I was using a stroller with big bulky back wheels and a wider frame. I really appreciate the smaller frame and wheels of the GoMax for moving around store aisles and tight corners without getting caught on things. The ride feels very smooth even on concrete sidewalks. This stroller is very light and has a nice leatherette handle that matches the infant car seat. It's easy to fold and open and stores fairly flat in my compact trunk with room for groceries. I'm short but my partner appreciates the height-adjustable handle for when we switch off. Personally, I feel the infant car seat sits low when installed on the GoMax frame and would prefer to have my baby closer to me while pushing. I tried the backpack storage bag while taking the baby on a trip to the park. I don't feel like I need the bag because I keep the stroller in my car; however I can see it coming in handy when traveling. Overall, I would recommend the GoMax Frame Stroller for use with the GoMax infant seat if you don't mind that it sits low. I would be 100% satisfied if it came with a toddler seat or was compatible with other seats in addition to the infant car seat.
Great strollee
I am a foster mom who is always on the go with infants and I am thrilled to have been sent the GoMax Frame Stroller through Stellar product review. This stroller is so nice for all of the appointments I am always on the run for. It is the lightest most compact frame stroller I’ve ever owned, and it fits perfectly right behind the seat in my sedan. I will be using this lots while traveling especially in airports, because it comes with a carrying bag and will fit in the carryon space overhead. It folds with one hand, has adjustable handlebar positioning AND has cupholders!!! I love that I can use this with any of the Graco click connect car seats. I will forsure be getting my use out of this product daily, as it’s the best for church, shopping, traveling, and morning walks. I wish the storage basket underneath was a little bit bigger but other than that I am very impressed!!
Space saver or travel companion
Overall I enjoy the simple mainstream and modern look of this stroller. The leather touch handle is a nice visual design and was comfortable to hold while pushing. I used the lower handle setting comfortably but think the higher adjustment would be nice for a taller person (I’m 5’7” for reference). I found the stroller easy to maneuver as I used it to run errands through parking lots and on sidewalks not having to go over rough terrain. I would not say it’s the smoothest ride compared to a higher end travel system but it was easy to push around. My 4 month old seemed to enjoy the ride without complaint. I found it fairly easy to fold and unfold the stroller after a couple practices. It gets a hitch now and then but is pretty straight forward and similar to most stroller set ups. I really enjoy the compact storage ability. It fits nicely in the back of my suv or in the back seat behind the car seat. I think this would be fantastic for traveling! I have also recommended it as an option for those who have part time caregivers for their child so it could easily be stored away when not in use. The included backpack is perfect for traveling or storing away when not in use and is a great packaging feature. I would not use the backpack on a regular basis, just for storage or travel. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller.
Great Travel Stroller
I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This is a great lightweight and compact stroller. I LOVE how small it folds up. You can even fit it in the area right behind the passenger seat below the car seat. This makes it ideal for travel or if you just have a quick errand and don’t want to bring the big stroller. Even the handlebar folds down. I love how you can adjust the height of the handle bar. I also found that it was super comfortable to maneuver. On my other stroller, my feet constantly kick the bar by the wheels, but with this stroller I have plenty of room. As an additional plus, the look of this stroller is super cute. I also like that it has a small area for storage underneath and comes with a backpack style carrying case. I’d imagine this would make it super easy to travel with, but I didn’t actually use it for just running errands.
GoMax Frame Stroller
*I was given this stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This stroller is perfect for on the go errands. It’s super easy to fold in and out. It’s lightweight, so it’s easy to grab and go and the Car seat install is easy, it just clicks in so you’re ready to roll in seconds which makes it super convenient to have for running errands where your going to be in and out of multiple places which is what I have been using it for. I also like that it’s easy to push and has a tray to hold drinks. I love that it’s compact so it’s easy to store in the car or closet! We do not have a lot of storage space so it’s nice that I can fit it in then living room closet when it’s not being used.
BEST Travel Car Seat and Stroller EVER
Let me start off by saying I already loved the car seat immensely. But adding the stroller was the best bonus! It’s thin and sleek and folds up so nice and easily to fit in the car. It comes with a little “backpack” carrying case that I’ve yet to have to use but I’m excited for when I do. It’s lightweight and easy to pick up on the go if you’re traveling alone. I’m short so being able to adjust the handle was also a huge plus. It glides so smoothly compared to our other stroller and felt very secure for our little one! It feels very easy to maneuver in tight spaces as well if need be. If I had to choose a downside - it is a little low for my liking and there’s a space for storage but once the seat is in there it’s hard to get to. Otherwise this stroller is fantastic and worth it! *I received this as part of the Stellar Product Review Panel*
GoMax Frame Stroller
I received the GoMax Frame Stroller through Stellar Product Testing Panel. I would have given it 5 stars aside from I wish there was an additional seat option that didn’t require use of the infant car seat attached. The aesthetic of this frame stroller is beautiful and its small footprint when folded into its backpack carrier makes it perfect for travel. The storage compartment underneath is small but for a secondary stroller that folds as small as it does, it’s better than not having one at all. The functionality of folding and unfolding was smooth but again I don’t often keep my baby in their car seat so I wish there was another seat option. I would recommend this to friends in certain scenarios but not as their sole stroller.
GoMax Frame Stroller
I was given the GoMax Frame Stroller to test as part of the Stellar product panel. My overall thoughts on the product were that it was a great on the go travel option. The wrap around leather handle made it very comfortable to hold and push. This also made it visually appealing as well! My baby seemed comfortable, for an easy smooth ride. My favorite parts of the stroller were that it was easy fold up and light weight. I felt like it was a perfect alternative for a jogging or every day stroller. The travel bag is also a really cool feature! We are keeping it in my husband's car due to the fact that he has less trunk space. This is the perfect fit. Sometimes you want an easy on the go travel option for a quick pediatrician appointment or shopping trip. My only dislikes on the products were the height and the wheels. Your baby sits pretty low to the ground which is not ideal for tall people. Bending pretty low to reach your baby can be uncomfortable sometimes. I'm pretty average height so it wasn't bad for me but may be harder for a taller mom. Another con to this product is that you really have to make sure the wheels are in the perfect position when folding up the stroller. I found myself moving too quickly and having to reposition the wheels, which I've seen with other strollers in the past. The wheels are also best for indoor outings or walks on the pavement or sidewalks. They aren't all terrain wheels and seem to get stuck in grass or dirt areas. That's what makes this a better on the go travel option! It also only allows for one child, not an ideal stroller for two littles. Id recommend this as a secondary stroller option, but not as a primary since it's not as functional in all areas. It's a nice option for a second vehicle or even traveling on an airplane! I'll definitely bring this on a flight or to a quick appointment that I am only bringing my infant to. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller.
Light weight stroller
The GoMax Frame Stroller is a must have for a first time mom or a sixth time mom, like myself!! It’s so easy to collapse and carry, it’s so light weight, you can even get your older kids to help! The carry bag is nice when traveling, it’s compact enough it can fit in small spaces. It’s him right adjustable handle bar is so nice when mom and dads heights are so different (5ft mom, 6ft dad and both can comfortably push the stroller). The leather handle bar is a nice touch to make it look and feel high quality! The front wheel suspension makes for a nice, smooth ride for mom and baby as well! Couldn’t recommend this stroller enough. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller.
Lightweight and smooth
This product was received through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. As a mom of 4, I have to have a 7 seater car, which with the rear seats up makes my trunk space almost nonexistent. The sleek, compact design of this stroller allows me to still fit the stroller and it can even fit under the car seat in the leg space! This stroller is lightweight but durable and glides so smoothly even with bumps in the sidewalks, thanks to the suspension and swivel-wheels. I love that the car seat sits so low and the handle bar has adjustable height settings, which allows my 5 year old to push while still being able to see where he’s going. Although I have yet to use the backpack, I do love this feature and plan to use the backpack and carry with me when we take the train for our upcoming trip! This stroller has been the perfect addition for my little one, but the only thing I do wish is that the under storage basket was larger as not even my diaper bag can fit, so storage while traveling can be a challenge.
Good travel stroller
I was given this stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I was immediately impressed by how lightweight it is and how compact it is when folded up, which makes it a great travel stroller. It is definitely not as stable/sturdy as other strollers and the storage compartment is very small so I would not recommend this as an everyday stroller. I would recommend it as a secondary travel stroller, however. I can easily store it without it taking up much room and will use it mainly when going out of town or don’t have enough room to bring the main stroller.
Lightweight Compact and Seriously Impressive
At first, I wasn’t sure if I was getting a stroller or a magic trick. Seriously, it doesn’t get much more lightweight or compact than this! The unexpected hero? The included backpack storage bag. My 13 year old can effortlessly wear the whole stroller like a school bag, which tells you just how portable it is. And despite its lightweight design, pushing this stroller is a dream. The height adjustable handle means no more awkward hunching for my 6 foot tall husband. It’s such a smooth ride that my little dozes off mid stroll, a rare and glorious parenting win. Folding it up is also ridiculously easy, so easy I can do it one handed while holding the car seat in the other. One quick motion, and boom, it’s compact enough to fit in my trunk with room left over for groceries, a diaper bag, and at least one rogue bottle. If you need a lightweight, space saving stroller that won’t turn every outing into an upper body workout, this one’s a winner. A big thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller.
An ultralight and portable stroller
*I was given this stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.* Strollers can be unwieldy and clunky and this one was neither of those things. It was easy to set-up and install the car seat into the stroller. No height adjustment was needed but the process seemed quite simple. The leatherette handle makes it feel more comfortable and premium. Maneuvering the stroller was super easy and the wheels moved really smoothly. There was no jerkiness or difficulty in moving around turns or bumps. Folding up the stroller was really simple too. I loved how it was as simple as pushing a button and having the stroller neatly collapse together. It folded up super small and didn’t take up much space in the trunk. I really like the added addition of the storage bag. I think that will be an extremely useful feature when flying. There were a few features I’d change. The brake didn’t seem all that stable and the stroller moved a lot even with it on. Secondly, I wish the basket was a bit bigger. I know this stroller is built for compactness and portability but I couldn’t fit my diaper bag in it which was a bit frustrating. Overall, this frame seems like a great addition to a smaller space or for someone who travels frequently. I would recommend it (I would love to see an insert for the stroller so it can be used beyond the infant years).
Good stroller frame but no longevity
I’ve been using this stroller for a while, and while it has some great features, there are a few drawbacks to consider. What I like: It comes with a parent tray, which is super convenient for holding drinks, keys, or a phone. The lightweight frame makes it easy to lift in and out of the car. It’s narrow, which is great for maneuvering through tight spaces like store aisles or crowded sidewalks. The ride is smooth, and it handles well on different surfaces. The adjustable handle is a big plus, especially if multiple people of different heights are using it. What I dislike: It can only be used with the infant car seat, meaning once your baby outgrows that, you’ll need a new stroller. No adapters for other car seat brands, so you’re limited to using it with the matching car seat. The storage basket is very small, making it tough to fit a diaper bag or much else underneath. Baby sits lower to the ground, which some parents might not prefer. Overall, this stroller is a great option if you’re looking for something lightweight, compact, and easy to maneuver. However, the lack of adaptability and short lifespan mean it’s best suited for those who only need it during the infant stage and don’t mind upgrading later. I was given this stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
Compact and Lightweight
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I had the opportunity to try out the GoMax Frame Stroller, and I have been thoroughly impressed! The compact and lightweight design is a game-changer. It fits perfectly in small spaces, including the floorboard between baby's car seat and the passenger seat (no more taking up all your trunk space)! The height-adjustable handle is convenient —at 5 feet tall, I found it comfortable to push, and my 6-foot-tall husband had no issues either. Maneuverability is key when navigating with baby. The front-wheel suspension and swivel wheels allow it to glide smoothly, even in tight spaces. It turns effortlessly, making outings with a baby much easier. Folding and unfolding took a little practice at first, but once we got the hang of it, it became second nature. The stroller pops up in seconds and is ready to roll, which is super convenient for being on the go. While we haven’t used the included backpack storage bag much, I can see how it would be incredibly useful for travel. Being able to carry the stroller easily when not in use is a nice bonus. One of the biggest highlights is how seamlessly the car seat clicks into place. In just seconds, you're ready to roll—perfect for quick errands or longer outings. Of course, once the baby outgrows the infant car seat, you’ll need a different stroller, but I can see us using this frequently until that time comes. Overall, I highly recommend the GoMax Frame Stroller for new moms (and dads!) looking for a lightweight, compact, and easy-to-use stroller system. It’s practical, convenient, and makes life with a little one just a bit easier!
Great Compact Stroller
As a busy mom of two little kiddos, I am always on the go and am all for convenient ways to travel. This stroller is honestly great for toting around a car seat when you don’t have a ton of trunk space. I am able to easily fold the stroller with one hand (or two if you want to make it the most compact) and it fits in my hatchback trunk with room to spare. My husband and I are very different heights, so the adjustable handle height is a big bonus! The stroller itself is easy to maneuver and provides a smooth ride. Its narrow frame made it easy to push in and out of stores. I didn’t use the carrying case that it came with, but I imagine it would be handy when traveling through airports or such. The only downside for me personally is that when a car seat is locked in, the storage basket underneath is very small. So if you are like us and carry everything and the kitchen sink with you, you might need to get creative with storage. Otherwise, this stroller really is a great choice! Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me this stroller in exchange for my honest review.
Excellent quality stroller frame
I was given this stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This is a great stroller with many excellent features. It’s high quality and looks very high end. I appreciated the adjustable height handle bar, which worked great for me and my very tall partner. The stroller also feels very sturdy with a smoother ride and the wheels feel like they will last a very long time. It folds up very small, fits in my small closet, and comes with a nice carrying bag which will be a huge benefit for air travel, but I don’t need to use it in a daily basis. I love the huge basket and convenient parent tray. I’m very excited about this stroller and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something high quality, compact, and lightweight.
Compact Stroller Frame
I was given the opportunity to try the Graco GoMax Frame Stroller as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Several Graco car seats are compatible with this frame stroller, and I personally used it with the Graco GoMax Infant Car Seat featuring Insta-Install Rigid LATCH. As someone who is new to frame strollers, I was initially skeptical. With my first two children, I used full-sized strollers, and I always thought frame strollers were unnecessary since most car seats easily click into a full-sized stroller. However, after using a frame stroller, I can honestly say it's a game changer. With my older children now attending preschool, I walk them into school every morning. My baby often falls asleep in the car, and having something lightweight and compact that stays in my trunk has been incredibly convenient. I can quickly get it in and out of the car with minimal effort and click his car seat right into it. Here are some pros and cons I’ve noted about this particular frame stroller: Pros: - Aesthetically pleasing: The leather handlebar adds a nice touch. - Lightweight and compact: I can lift it with one hand, and it folds into a small square, making it easy to store in my trunk without taking up much space. - Travel bag included: If you travel often, this travel bag is a great addition. The stroller fits inside, and you can wear it on your back through the airport or check it in, knowing it’s protected. - Convenient features: It includes a small tray for items like your cell phone and keys, plus a cup holder. - Smooth ride: The front-wheel suspension makes the stroller ride much smoother compared to other frame strollers I’ve used. Cons: - Collapsing the stroller: You need to make sure the wheels are positioned correctly when collapsing the stroller; otherwise, it won’t collapse and “snap” together properly. - Limited storage: The storage space is minimal. While there is a small mesh net, it’s not big enough to store a full diaper bag. Final Verdict: Overall, if you're looking for a stroller that’s easy to get in and out of the car, takes up little space, and works well for light packing, this frame stroller could be the right fit for you. However, if you need more storage for items like diaper bags, jackets, water bottles, etc. you might want to look into one of Graco’s other frame strollers that has a larger storage basket.
Perfect out and about stroller
I received this stroller frame through the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I’m so thankful for it. We live in a city and have a 7 month old and a busy toddler so we’re in and out of the car a lot. Getting around with this super compact stroller frame is SO easy. It’s light enough for me to carry along with a car seat and stores well. We can even keep it in our entryway for an easy grab as we head out the door and the carrying bag makes that even easier. The leather details on the handle is both pretty and comfortable. My husband loves that the handle height is adjustable as he finds this much more comfortable to push than our full size stroller. My favorite part about this stroller is the cup holder and tray by the handle. I hate the ones that hang off to the side, always getting knocked around in tight spaces. This securely holds my water bottle and gives me an easy access spot for toddler snacks or my phone. The only thing I have found tough is that there isn’t a ton of space between the bottom of the car seat and the storage basket, so trying to fit a larger diaper bag can be tricky. But it’s perfect for smaller items. Other than that, this stroller provides a smooth ride on bumpy city sidewalks and makes errands a breeze!
Perfectly lightweight and compact
I got to try out this stroller as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I am a huge fan! This is the perfect stroller frame for on-the-go families or frequent travelers. It is extremely lightweight and packs down very small, making it easy to put in the backseat/footwell of any car. Since it's lightweight, it's slightly more finicky to collapse than my other stroller (for me, it consistently took two hands) but that's far from a deal breaker for me. We have a larger car, so space isn't at a premium, but I can see how this would be really ideal on our next plane trip, if we get a rental car, or need to rideshare somewhere. You don't always know how much space you'll have and it's fantastic how small this frame can get. We used the backpack carrier a couple times. It's easy to get in and out and lightweight on the back. I don't know that I'd use it a lot personally but I feel like it adds value and would keep the frame more protected. Myself (mom), grandma, and dad all used this stroller and found it easy to maneuver on sidewalks and paved paths. It would not be the right stroller for "off roading" but would do really well in cities and parks. We're all about the same height but it's nice to have the adjustable handle. There's a small amount of storage which is great for a jacket or purse. I primarily used this considering I'd be on the go and would have my daughter's diaper bag (backpack) with me. I'd definitely have to carry that myself with this stroller, but I don't think that's a bad thing. There's also a small tray and drink holder too. I would recommend families consider this frame if they do a lot of quick errands where your baby and the car seat will be coming in and out of the car a lot, or a lot of travel where lightweight and compact options will be key.
Incredibly compact travel stroller
I am impressed by this Graco GoMax compact stroller! The modern aesthetic is great and looks similar to many other high end strollers on the market. The leatherette handle is comfortable and sleek. I appreciate that it’s height-adjustable so my husband and I can both push our 6 month old baby comfortably. It has a great turning radius that allows you to squeeze through tight store aisles or navigate around crowds at the zoo! I also enjoy the basket and built in cup holder for outings. The most impressive feature is the compact size and easy fold. At less than 9 pounds, it’s ridiculously lightweight! Though a little tricky at first, it’s possible to fold down with just one hand and it stands on its own. As a new mom, I never realized how many things I’d have to accomplish one handed! It comes with a super convenient backpack for carrying the stroller. With other strollers, a padded travel bag is often an additional expense. This is the perfect travel stroller because it can squeeze into your trunk next to all of the other baby gear you inevitably need for your infant. My only downsides are though it has front-wheel suspension, I still felt most of the bumps in my neighborhood sidewalk. The plastic wheels can only do so much. The infant car seat also sits pretty low to the ground and can only be rear facing. My little one is so observant and often likes to look outward during our walks, so I wish that was an option! There isn’t an option for a bumper seat so once your baby outgrows their infant car seat, they outgrow the stroller. Overall, if you’re looking for an incredibly compact, sleek, lightweight infant stroller for your daily errands or travel this one is for you! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me this stroller to review.
Very portable and versatile
I received this product through Stellar Testing Panel. My review was not influenced and is my own honest opinion of the product. This travel system stroller is very portable and versatile. The stroller itself is very light that even my 2 year old boy can lift the frame while inside the travel bag. I appreciate the built in basket under the car seat of the stroller. We were able to fit 64 oz tumbler, clothes and wipes all at the same time! The seat carrier is also light and easy to install and remove from stroller to car and vice versa. Even without the car seat base, the car seat is safe, sturdy and made of great quality. The car seat can be attached to the car easily due to attach its built in latch. The stroller is very easy to maneuver even with just one hand. We stroll to the park almost everyday and it always give us a nice and easy time handling the stroller. The wheels swivels nice and responsive. The stroller runs smoothly even on a bit rough surface. Our infant sleeps nice and sound while being wheeled in the stroller. I appreciate the leather on handle to make handling more comfortable to hold and made the stroller look more premium. The handle can be height adjusted which make it versatile for any height. The frame can be folded easily and comes with a travel bag that makes it carrying and storing anywhere very convinient and easy. Due to it’s slim profile while in the bag, it can easily be stored anywhere in the car or in the closet. It’s almost the same size as a diaper bag! We’ve had no problems encountered using this stroller. I am very happy using this product and I highly recommend this product for any family with infants.
Functional Stroller Frame
My first impression of the GoMax Frame Stroller was that it looks nice and compact. And I love that it comes with an already attached parent console. All I had to do was unfold the frame and pop on the front wheels. I was disappointed in the wheels as they are a hard smooth plastic and have no traction. And the hands-free lock by the back wheels only locks the back wheels. The lack of traction made it difficult pushing the stroller on sidewalk and in the parking lot of the supermarket. In the store and on smooth surfaces it pushes and maneuver beautifully. The under basket looks nice, however is not easily accessible because where the car- seat clicks in, it sits very low and covers the basket. As a parent of a six-month-old and four other children, strollers that are compact, yet durable are important especially when traveling. This stroller takes up very little space in the trunk of my Chevy Equinox and the backpack to store the stroller would make it convenient for taking through an airport. Handle adjustment is another feature that I look for. The handle adjusts slightly, personally I do not like that it does not allow for multiple height adjustments. My husband who is a little over 6ft tall loves that when he pushes the stroller his feet are far enough from the wheel that his feet are not bumping into the wheels. When folding down the stroller frame you need make sure to push down to hear the click of the side lock so that it does not unfold on you when lifting it up. I forgot to do this when I was putting the stroller in the trunk, and it started to unfold on me. Once folded it is super compact and easy to store anywhere in my house even less 12-inch space between my bookshelf and couch. Regarding durability, I am not convinced that this frame will last very long if I use it everyday as it does not feel very sturdy. Overall, this is a useful stroller for parents that travel a lot and are looking for a stroller that takes up little space in a home because of how compact it is. And it is functional for a short-term use. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller.
Amazing Stroller
I just received this stroller and I’m so glad I did. It is extremely light weight and compact. It folds up nicely, and they included a backpack to put it in. Super easy to use and figure out. Probably one of the best purchases for new baby.
