Review: Graco Expedition TS

Graco Expedition TS

Light, easy to fold and good to handle
Wheels have less 'give' in them than some other three-wheelers so your baby might get a more bumpy ride
Features: Price includes car seat, 'EZ fold' mechanism, matching footmuff and changing bag sold separately, padded canopy with window, washable seat cover, suitable from birth to 13kg
Price: £139.99
Weight: 8.5kg (3.5kg extra with car seat)
Handle: 101cm high
Dimensions: folded L37cmxW61xH86; open L99cmxW61cmxH101cm
Contact: www.graco.co.uk


The concept:
Graco's affordable but stylish three-wheeler travel system provides a one-stop buggy solution when you want funky design, from-birth travelling, easy movement and something that's easy to convert with your car seat when you're on the go.
Prices vary for the buggy but tend to average around £139.99, making it a light and competitive option.

In action:
The soft-grip handle, nifty 61cm width and the 'EZ fold' fold-down mechanism are all useful Graco details which every parent likes to tick off their wishlist.
However, the wheels do lack the bounce that other three-wheelers have because they have puncture-proof, solid tyres rather than air tyres. This does make for a bit of a bumpy ride, with much of the shock-absorption being taken by you!
This, and the medium sized basket (you really need a big basket for those busy, nappy-filled early months), are two things ThinkBaby member reviewer Heidi Moran also found disappointing.
At least the wheels are pretty easy to take off and put back on, when you want to get your travel system into the boot of your car, along with all the other new-baby paraphernalia.

The Expedition TS is available in black and blue.


The ThinkBaby verdict

A decent three-wheeler on a budget, but without the sporty frills you might want if you're going to be using it on- and off-road a lot.
Performance: 3/5
Value: 4/5
