This article reviews legacy Graco stroller models and the features they were known for - double-seat capability, travel-system compatibility, designer-limited editions, lightweight designs, and practical convenience features. It emphasizes verifying exact model specs and safety standards for any older stroller you consider.

Overview

Graco has built a wide range of strollers over the years, from lightweight singes to full double strollers and travel systems. Many parents will still encounter older Graco models secondhand or in clearance bins. This update summarizes several legacy Graco strollers and the features they were known for, so you can compare them to today's options.

DuoGlider (Metropolitan Seat) - twin-ready

The DuoGlider was Graco's side-by-side double stroller option designed to carry two infants or toddlers. It offered reclining seats and headrests for comfort and was promoted for compatibility with Graco infant car seats as part of a travel-system approach.

Quattro Tour Travel System - stroller plus car seat

The Quattro Tour was sold as a travel system (stroller and matching infant car seat). Early listings highlighted a one-hand fold and a design that could stand on its wheels when folded for cleaner storage and easier handling. 1

Mosaic / Mosaic LX - style collaboration

The Mosaic and Mosaic LX were positioned as more fashion-forward Graco strollers. A limited-edition Mosaic collaboration with designer Cynthia Rowley was marketed in the mid-2000s with a charitable component tied to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation; the special run was reportedly limited in number. 2

Snugrider - lightweight option

The Snugrider was described as an ultra-light stroller intended for easy lifting and travel. Features commonly cited for models like this include a large storage basket and adjustable handle height for caregiver comfort. Specific published weights and dimensions should be confirmed before purchase. 3

Quattro Tour Deluxe / LX - aluminum frame and convenience features

Variants labeled Deluxe or LX emphasized a lightweight aluminum frame, sun canopies with peek-a-boo windows, easy folding mechanisms, and practical parent-facing features such as cup holders and storage. Some early model listings referenced built-in displays or monitors (for time/temperature); verify feature lists for any particular model before assuming it includes electronics. 4

Vienna - everyday practicality

The Vienna model focused on everyday convenience: adjustable handles, storage compartments, and parent cup holders. It was aimed at parents wanting a simple, durable stroller without many gimmicks.
