Graco Breaze Click Connect Stroller Review

Sharing is caring!

Not every parent wants (or is able!) to drop three or four hundred dollars on a lightweight stroller. Luckily for everyone, Graco is stepping up their game and offering great new products such as the Breaze stroller. Yes, it is the “breaze” with an “a” – we didn’t misspell it. 🙂 Normally, the old saying is “you get what you paid for”, right? Well, with the Breaze, you get so much more!

Graco Breaze

The Breaze stroller is one of the easiest umbrella strollers we’ve ever tried. No need for a foot, knee and a trick-thumb with this one, the Breaze folds with one-hand using a lever near the handlebar. Don’t believe us, watch our video review! It really is easy-peasy!

STROLLER SEAT

The Breaze seat is roomy and accommodates up to 50 lbs, measuring 14″ wide, with an 18″ seat back and a measurement of 26″ from seat to canopy.  A padded, adjustable, 5-point harness keeps the baby safely in the seat and the adjustable calf rest keeps them comfy. The seat has a very deep recline (almost flat!) and I love that you can recline the seat with the one-handed mechanism.

STORAGE

There is a medium basket underneath the seat that can be tricky to access with the seat fully reclined but that is very standard in the world of umbrella strollers. A cup holder on the side of the handlebar is much appreciated for those of us parents who like to drink on the go. Coffee and water, that is!

CANOPY

The canopy is large for an umbrella stroller and sports a large, mesh peek-a-boo window. We do wish that the cover of the window stayed closed with a magnetic closure or at least Velcro for those parents who live in a lot of wind like Chicago.

HANDLES

The non-adjustable handles are 39″ from ground to handle which are tall but definitely not the tallest on the market. If you are a super tall parent, you definitely want to try this stroller out before committing to make sure they aren’t too short for you.

WHEELS

The Breaze rolls on 7″ hard rubber wheels in the back and 6″ hard rubber, swivel wheels in the front. The front wheels also have the ability to lock straight for “mommy terrain” but it’s important to note that like all umbrella strollers this one is best on smooth surfaces. The front wheel suspension does help with some of the bumps and the linked rear brake locks the stroller into place.

FOLD/UNFOLD

One of the best features of this stroller is the easy, one-handed fold. Like I said earlier, no need for a foot, knee and a trick-thumb with this one, the Breaze folds with one-hand using a button and lever near the handlebar. It folds down into an umbrella fold and locks automatically. The stroller weighs a little over 17 lbs which is a little heavier than other umbrella strollers but we welcome the extra weight because it gives it stability to hold an infant car seat.

TRAVEL SYSTEM

Speaking of infant car seats, the Breaze accepts the Graco Click Connect Infant Car Seats to turn it into a travel system. Plus, no need for any additional adapters because the adapters are built into the seat.

WRAP-UP

Overall, I think Graco did a fabulous job with the Breaze. The stroller retails for $169 and is available now.  It has the roomy seat, big canopy, and big basket we expect but they put the icing on the cake with the easy fold and the travel system option.

Thanks for the review Baby Gizmo! Good to know you don't have to spend an arm and a leg for a nice functional stroller/travel system.

This is almost exactly like the Chicco Liteway that I have and love. The new model Liteway Plus accepts an infant carseat, but you have to remove the seat cover which seems like a pain. If you need a carseat adapter I'd go with this new Graco, but I believe the 1st model of the Chicco Lite way is cheaper than this Graco so it would still be worth looking at.
