Graco FastAction Fold Jogger Click Connect Jogging Stroller Travel System, featuring SnugRide Click Connect 35, in Gotham
Stroller That Keeps Up with Your Active Lifestyle
FastAction Fold Jogger Click Connect Jogging Stroller, in Gotham, is the ultimate crossover stroller: it combines all of the comfort and convenience features moms love from traditional Graco strollers with the performance and maneuverability of an all-terrain jogger. You get the best of both worlds, in one terrific infant jogging stroller. In this great jogging stroller travel system, you’ll also receive the top-rated SnugRide Click Connect 35.
Fold Up—Fast
The FastAction fold is one of parents’ favorite features on this terrific stroller: just pull the clearly marked red strap on the stroller’s seat and the stroller folds in one-second. Best of all, moms and dads can fold the stroller with one hand, so that their other arm is always free to comfort and hold baby. It’s a really unique feature that makes this set stand out among jogging stroller travel systems.
Lightweight Design Fits Your Lifestyle
The stroller weighs just 30 lbs. (without the infant car seat), so it’s lightweight. The lightweight—yet sturdy—design makes it a perfect stroller for any on-the-go mom, since it’s so portable.
Top-Rated Infant Car Seat
Graco’s top-rated SnugRide Click Connect 35 is a favorite of moms and respected consumer magazines. This seat is designed to accommodate rear-facing infants from 4 to 35 lbs. and includes a convenient stay-in-car base, for easy vehicle installation.
Click Connect
The infant car seat clicks into the stroller in one simple step, and the clear audio “click” lets you know it’s secure. In addition, the Click Connect feature applies to the stay-in-car base that comes with the car seat.
Comfortable Ride
Air-filled rubber tires offer suspension for a smooth ride on just about any terrain. Just lock the front wheel for added stability while jogging or unlock it for maneuverability on quiet, daily strolls. Deluxe, padded stroller seat ensures that your child—from baby to toddler—will ride comfortably, and it features Graco’s multi-position recline, so that you can find just the right position to suit him or her. This jogging stroller travel system is comfortable for baby and comfortable for you as you stay active with your child.
Maneuverability
Lockable front swivel wheels provide superior maneuverability and a smooth ride for those jogs and walks with baby—whether you’re strolling outdoors or inside.
Bring Essentials Along, Including Your Smartphone
The deluxe parents’ tray features a smartphone cradle that clips your phone securely in so that you can see it and even listen to tunes on your phone’s speakers while you stroll. Moms love the extra-large storage basket (perfect to store a diaper bag, snacks and other baby gear) and the parents’ tray with storage and two deep cup holders. It’s always convenient to have your essentials close-by.
Made for the Shade
The extra-large canopy allows your child to ride in the shade, protected from bright sunlight.
Reflectors
Reflectors on the child’s tray and wheels offer added safety for low-light visibility when you’re strolling in dimly lit places.
Easy In, Easy Out
It’s easy to get your toddler in and out of the FastAction Fold Jogger Click Connect Jogging Stroller: the child’s tray conveniently pivots out of the way. Your little one will love the tray with storage (for small games and treats) and a cup holder for drinks or a sippie cup.
Sophisticated Style
Gotham’s go-with-anything look will appeal to fashionable moms and babies. The solids of black, white and gray combine for a sophisticated look that is always in style.

CUSTOMER REVIEW
I am comparing the Graco FastAction Jogging Travel System vs. the BOB Revolution SE*
*I chose to compare against the BOB Revolution, as opposed to other the other BOB models, because we wanted the option of fixed wheel and swivel wheel.
I did a lot of research on the best jogging stroller and had narrowed it down to these two. We're currently expecting our first child, and will update this review after we've met our little one, so this review is only based on research. I am a light jogger and my partner runs 30+ miles per week. As we are only purchasing one stroller, we wanted our main stroller to be a jogging stroller. We made our decision and purchased the Graco FastAction Jogger Travel System. While price wasn't a huge factor, we do appreciate the overall value of the Graco system.
Graco
Dimensions: L: 40", W: 24", H: 42"
Folded Dimensions: L: 39", W: 23.6", H: 15.3"
Weight: 30lbs
Weight capacity: 50lbs
One-step folding
BOB
Dimensions (swivel mode): L: 46" W: 25.5" H: 40"
Folded Dimensions (swivel mode): L: 39", W: 25.5", H: 16"
Weight: 25lbs
Weight capacity: 70lbs (although most children will outgrow before reaching 70lbs)
Two-step folding
Why the Graco wins
We tested a few different strollers in store, and only looked at strollers with inflatable wheels, suspension, and specifically marked for jogging. I'm 5'8" and my partner is 6'0" and the Graco is a little more comfortable for us height-wise. If you are on the shorter side--say 5'4" and under--and a heavy jogger, you may prefer the BOB. If you are 5'10" or over, I'd recommend the Graco. At 5'8" I could go either way, but did find the Graco slightly more comfortable. Of course, if you can go to your local Babies R Us and try out the models yourself, that's best. The handlebar height is 40" on the BOB and 42" on the Graco. Neither are adjustable.
I liked the folding on the Graco better, as it's easier to be folded with one hand. The kickstand on the stroller to stand up while folded is a nice touch.
Included accessories: The Graco includes the parent's console--awesome, with the two rigid plastic cup holders, smartphone holder, and hidden compartment. Smartphones with 5in+ screens do not fit in the smartphone holder, but our iPhone 4s with rubber cases fit fine, and I've heard a naked iPhone 5 fits fine, while a case on an iPhone 5 may or may not work. But larger smartphones will fit in the hidden compartment. The child's tray, and wheel reflectors are also included. All of these must be purchased separately with the BOB and the parent's console is mesh on the BOB, which I didn't like as it didn't feel as sturdy. Additionally with the BOB, you have to buy the car seat adapter. And, the car seat!
I won't do a long review of the car seat, but the quality is important to us, and we feel the quality is on par or better than if we were to have bought the car seat separately. Besides the high safety ratings, we like that it is light, rated to hold an infant 4-35lbs., rear-facing, included infant insert, and is LATCH compatible.
Tie
Durability: I think the Graco is on par with durability with the BOB. Both have a metal frame and look they they can take a beating and certainly make it through infant to toddler, and another child. Contrary to the positive reviews I'd read about BOB fabric and canopy materials, I wasn't impressed, and felt the Graco fabric choices were higher quality. The BOB fabric looks like it will fade easily, and when looking at used BOBs on Craigslist, I noticed several noted a faded canopy.
Both strollers have the safety features of foot brake, wrist strap, and peakaboo window on top of canopy. Both canopy coverage was similar. Both strollers lack handle-bar brake.
Why the BOB wins
Suspension: The BOB does have better suspension, coil spring and elastomer core shock absorbers provide three inches of wheel travel. Adjustable shock release knobs allow for two shock positions to fine-tune suspension for varying occupants and cargo. This really made me lean towards the BOB at first, but we're not really trail runners and all of our running is done on level pavement. While we plan to take the stroller onto trails and beaches, we didn't think the suspension and shocks were as valuable there, given the other lacking features. But, if you are a trail runner or regularly run on uneven surfaces, this might make the BOB worth it.
Cost difference (online prices)
Graco system with carseat and attachments included: $300
BOB: $330 +carseat($150) +carseat attachment($55) +parent console($25) +child's tray($25) +tire reflectors($5) = $590
The Graco stroller comes in the following colors: RoadRunner (black/gray), Chili Red, Piazza (green), Grapeade (purple), Tangerine (orange), and Tidalwave (teal)
All are black or gray based with the color accent acting as kind of a "racing stripe," vroom!
Tip: For the carseat, if you do want the foot bootie (aka foot warmer or fabric boot) for your little one's tootsies, you can go to Graco Baby's website and find the SnugRide ClickConnect 35, find the color you like, get the product number of the item, and the fabric boot is available for purchase under the Replacement Parts section of the website for $13. Or you can call Graco and they'll do the order over the phone. While I couldn't find a bootie that matched the Chili Red, there is a bootie in black with white piping (called Lyric) that looks like a good match. Of course, color availability may change over time, so you might be better off making a phone call and asking.
Hope this helps with your purchase. Feel free to ask any questions about the Graco and I'll try to answer them. We're very pleased with our decision to get the Graco. Can't wait to meet our little guy and put this sucker to use!
