I have had this Graco Sterling TS pram for 6 months now and would not recommend it to anyone who wants it for the duration! The wheels on mine have started to bend in and are not straight any more, the hood is stuck forwards and the whole pram rocks when you push it, on of the bars at the bottom has broke off and if you don't get the pull string mechanism right when you adjust the back your child falls to one side! also once the foot muff is on my child cant move her legs and this often wakes her up! it is not a very sturdy pram once it has been used a few months, I would't buy another as i find it difficult to get out off the car while holding my child. on the plus side it will fit on public transport and if you have room to just wheel it in the house you will be fine!

I bought my graco sterling from a charity shop. Apart from it coming with no rain cover and being a bit squeaky i love this travel system. My son is now 8 weeks old and loves to see mum from the car seat. He was born a large baby and fits rather snug in the seat although i did have to remove the head hugger. I would definately buy this brand again as it is so hard wearing. I dont have any problems getting it on and off the bus either.
The only bad points are that its a bit bulky and takes up a lot of room. Its also quite hard to collapse down. The restraints in the car seat are uncomfortable for my son so i dont use them. Apart from there minor complaints its a hard wearing push chair.
Good all round push chair. Its better for younger babies because of the car seat. Not really sure if i would continue to use it after he is out of the car seat though as there are lighter push chairs around to buy.

I've had the Graco Sterling TS 14 months and am about to dispose of it. The hoods are damaged and bent. The try is all scratched up from the car seat. The pushchair is uncomfortable for my daughter, the seat doesn't come out far enough and she keeps bashing her legs on the playtray. Which is removable but leaves my child looking like their hanging for dear life. Its definitely not one for those who live in flats. unless it has lifts or who use Public transport. It is far too bulky and awkward for me to lift I have to store mine in the car so if my hubby takes it I'm housebound. Its okay for first few months with car seat but I would say don't pay more than 70 quid for it or you might regret it.

I absolutely adore this travel system, we have been using it for 7 weeks so far and cannot fault it. I had a c section with my daughter and so found the fact that this pushchair is so light to push a real bonus. I usually go off my pram but this one I have loved from the day I bought it. Has a viewing window in the main hood so you can keep an eye on baby and its really handy having a clock on the handles!
I would highly recommend this travel system to anyone as it also fits in the boot of my sisters car, which has a very small boot. We can fit this pushchair, my nephews stroller plus some shopping in the boot, fantastic!

Graco Sterling TS Pushchairs - We bought this buggy for our son just before he was born and liked it for about 4 weeks but then we realised we just couldn't keep it. We live in a second floor flat and there was no way in the world I could've got this up the stairs. I liked the fact that in the car seat our son could face us and our daughter could sit on the parent tray on the handle when she got tired. It also has a digital temperature guage, a clock and a drink holder (but the drink holder was useless, too big for a can, too small for anything else). When folding to go into the boot we had to fasten our son in the car then struggle to pull the stiff clips up, and try and lift this extremely heavy contraption into the not so big boot of our car. It didn't leave much room for anything else! I did enjoy pushing this buggy along when we finally got going but it was also a bit too big and bulky to go round the shops, into lifts etc and I struggled on many occasions trying to lift it up curbs, into public toilets, steps etc. When our son was in the car seat bit (which just clips on top of the buggy itself but scratches the pushchairs playtray) we could pull both visors shut completely protecting him from the sun, wind and rain but it also left him in the dark, probably getting hot and unable to see us, so we invested in a parasol. I would not advise anybody to buy one of these unless they live in ground floor accommodation with no car. I was also concerned about the fact that my son couldn't lie flat in his car seat, he looked uncomfortable at times when he was tiny. We only had this buggy for a few weeks.
