If you’ve been in the market for baby gear at all, there’s one brand that you should definitely recognize…. GRACO Baby! There’s a reason they’ve been around forever! Well, officially since 1955 when engineer Rex Thomas dreamed up their very first automatic swing, the Swyngomatic.
Graco has stood the test of time. As a matter of fact, when we had our first child over 20 years ago, our first travel system was from Graco!
I distinctly remember my husband and I buying it from Target. Then coming home and putting it together about 3 months before our daughter even arrived. We may or may have pushed it around the living room and house several times ‘to test it out’. Can you tell we were excited!?
Ever since that very first purchase, we were sold on Graco. To me, their brand represents function, practicality, ease of use, appealing designs, affordability, and so much more.
And I’m happy to report that they’ve really stepped up their game recently. Both Janessa and I are super excited to partner with them to share our brand new Graco GoMax Travel System reviews with you. Because not only is this system functional, it looks great too!
You may have seen that Janessa recently announced the gender of their baby! If you missed it, head on over here to find out their gender reveal announcement.
And while we’re not personally expecting, our current infant seat is almost expired so I wanted to have a new one on hand in case we get a call for another foster baby. So we’re both sending a big thank you to Graco for helping us get geared up!
Adding Style While Keeping Function In Mind
The GoMax Travel System comes with the GoMax Infant Car Seat, a base, a carry bag with backpack straps, and the GoMax Frame Stroller.
Must Have Features At A Glance
- Ultra Lightweight Stroller Frame: The carseat snaps easily on and off this lightweight frame. Weighing in at just 9 pounds, it’s super easy for me to get in and out of the trunk.
- Ultra Compact Design: Measuring in folded at 19.75″x17.25″x7.5″, this stroller chassis stores practically anywhere.
- Rear Facing Car Seat: The GoMax Infant Car Seat protects rear-facing infants from 4-30 pounds, and up to 32″ long.
- Backpack-Style Carry Bag For Easy Travel: Whether road-tripping or flying, the frame fits into the included backpack style bag for safe keeping. This bag is also great for storing the frame when not in use; protecting it from dirt, scratches, and damage.
- Easy Installation: This seat features a built-in Insta-Install Rigid LATCH which allows the car seat to install safely in any vehicle in seconds, without a base! ***NOTE: A stay-in-car base is included as well as extras available for purchase; however, it is not required for install.
- Storage Basket: Designed with a storage basket below, easily store the essentials you need.
- Parent Tray: You will definitely appreciate Graco’s design team as they’ve included a parent tray with cup holder on the stroller frame!
- Safely Designed With PureThreads: Parents will also appreciate how this seat features an inherently fire retardant fabric with no added flame-retardant chemicals anywhere on the seat, just pure safety for your little one.
- Smart, Easy To Use Design: This seat’s memory recline on LATCH connectors remembers the the last install recline position for an even faster install the next time you use it.
- No Re-Thread Harness: With the front-adjust, No-Rethread Simply Safe Adjust Harness System, the headrest and harness can be adjusted together while your child is in the seat. Once you own a seat with this, you’ll never go back!
- All Inclusive Set: This car seat, base, and chassis set comes with EVERYTHING you need to head out and about with baby!
- Comfort For All: A height-adjustable handlebar and front-wheel suspension help provide a comfy ride for both you and baby.
- Gorgeous: Both the car seat as well as the stroller chassis feature leatherette detailing that truly stands out.
Miranda’s Thoughts On The Graco GoMax Travel System
There is definitely a LOT to love about the Graco GoMax Travel System. So many great features, handy design aspects, and overall aesthetics. I love how compact this set is, as it allows me to save space in the vehicle and delay the need for a full-size stroller.
While many people do love the baseless install, I’ve found that I personally do prefer having a base. Thankfully, additional bases can be purchased separately if you need (or want) more than the one that’s included. But I definitely do appreciate how this seat can be used in other vehicles, very easily, without the base when needed.
Overall, I’m super thrilled with the Graco GoMax Travel System. It’s a great option for expectant and new parents! Definitely get this one on your baby shower gift registry for sure!
Janessa’s Review:
I’ve been using Graco products for the past 15 years and have been thrilled to see that the most recent items coming out of Graco look so modern and chic and yet they are still one of the most affordable brands on the market.
I love the vegan leather accents. It looks and feels so real that I actually had to look it up to be certain it’s not real leather. The infant car seat also looks and feels like a high-end seat. The fabric is so nice!
The stroller opens with ease and the car seat just clicks right into place. Because it’s so lightweight it’s extremely easy to push and maneuver.
Because I’m a mom of many kids, being able to put the car seat right onto a lightweight stroller means my hands are free for my other children (and everything I’m bringing with me) plus it enables my kids to help push the stroller if they want.
The stroller frame has a one-handed fold and the foot brake is so easy to use too.
I absolutely love the Graco GoMax Travel System and can’t say enough good things about it! It’s extremely lightweight and so easy to go from car to anywhere you need to go.
I can’t imagine anyone regretting this travel system. Get it!
In Closing…..
So as you can see, we both think Graco’s done a pretty spectacular job on the GoMax Travel System! If you’re in the market for an infant seat or travel system, definitely get this on your list to try.
