If so what do you think? A quick search suggests no posts about this so am starting one. Seems to do most things I need it to, but would appreciate any opinions!

Hi. I have bought the Fusio few days ago so I cannot give you any feedback on usage - I did find a couple of good reviews online.
My first impression though is a good one.
I was looking for a light pushchair with reversible seat, attachable carrycot and foldable in 1 piece easily. The fusio foes all of it.
I have to say it looks less fancy than other pushchairs, like the SOLA or the Bugaboo Cameleon, but seems well made and lighter (also cheaper) than those.
The folding is super easy and can be done with the seat attached which is a must for me using public transport, I like the wheels swivel button being reachable from the pushing position (unlike other pushchair where you have to click something on the wheel therefore moving to the front of the pushchair.
The seat is well padded and so is the harness/footmuff ecc. The raincover is easy to put in.
Not sure how it will fare in the park but on city pavement seemed ok.
From reviews I have read the seat is slightly smaller than others so probably won't fit a big 3years old but from what I have heard from other mums when they reach 2/2,5 yrs you end up buying a simpler/5kgs heavy stroller anyways as you don't need the rearfacing and the padding so much.
Weighting 9kgs I can lift it withough folding it better than others.
Only concern is the handles, they are not really height adjustable but my husband who is tall says it is manageable. Also they are in hard plastic instead of the fancy foamy you see in other pushchairs.
It fits the Symbio Carrycot and also the Graco Drive Carrycot (I wish I had realised that and bought this so I could have used it in the car for the first few months too).

I've had one for just over three weeks now and it's great. As the PP said it's lightweight and folds really compact. I have an 11 week old son and a little girl who was 3 yesterday. I love how the seat is reversable and has 4 postions. Mine came with a newborn liner, footmuff, raincover and apron. It can be used with the carry cot and be used as a travel system if you add the car seat and adapter too. The handles swivel 360 degrees so can be used at different heights and although they aren't that high at the highest postion my Husband finds them fine and he's 6 foot. It really is great and fantastic value.

It's very similar functionality to the loola but Much lighter, bigger more accessible basket, better raincover and much nicer to push. I'm 5th 10'amd normally struggle with handle height but this seems fine.

Oh hadn't thought too much about the handle height, good to hear it is ok as I'm between 5'8 5'9! Will go and try it out when things are a bit further along. Littleshoe, it sounds like you brought yours for all the reasons I want mine! Grin

Can I ask those who have this, does it fold with the seat rear facing?

smurf41 · 12/04/2011 19:35

If you happened to find out if it folds in rear facing position please could u let me know... It's driving me nuts!! Many thanks.

Email Graco...They very quickly replied when i asked them something.

smurf41 · 12/04/2011 20:23

Oh right I'll try that, thanks.

daniellegoodchild · 23/04/2011 10:25

we love ours, if you do a search we have a review up :)

K111 · 25/05/2011 08:29

The Which reviews say this pushchair is heavy to steer, and not very manoeuverable - what do people think? Is the suspension adequate - do you think it would cope with cobbled streets? Also, has anyone had this or another graco pushchair for more than a few weeks? - I'd be interested to know how durable it is likely to be. Thanks!

suzie38 · 25/05/2011 17:01

I'm thinking of buying one so would be interested in a true review as it's the same ones everywhere...They've obviously been given the Fusio by Graco to test run so can't really slate it...I've had 2 Metrosports which were great to use...Still have 2 Citisports which i love and a Flip It but only available in America and isn't quite as easy to push as the above two.
