The Graco Fusio claims to be a compact travel system, suitable from birth; our full test results below reveal what parents and our lab experts thought about this pram.
While the Graco Fusio travel system is well padded and has an easy-to-use recline system, our parent panel didn't like the plastic handles, which made their hands sweaty.
It's also quite heavy, and scores are average for manoeuvring as it doesn't corner as well as others we've tested, although it's reasonably effortless to push in a straight line.
Reversible seat
One of the best features is the reversible seat, which is easy to change once you know how. The seat is slightly flexible - you attach one side and then stretch the seat over to attach the other side.
The seat, including the bumper bar, can also be kept on when folding, which is a bonus. When it's folded, the pram fits into the boot of a medium-sized car.
Folding takes practice
Like many pushchairs, folding this one takes practice - some will find it tricky at first, but it gets easier once you have the knack, although some of our parents thought there were too many steps.
Another useful feature on this pushchair is the seat recline. As you lower the seat back, the footrest flattens out at the same time to continually support your child's legs.
Excellent from birth
The seat reclines to a flat position of over 150 degrees, so it's suitable for newborn babies. You can convert it into a pramette by attaching the newborn liner and apron (included), and it's also compatible with the Graco Go carrycot, which can be bought separately.
We like the hood, which is easily adjustable, but access to the shopping basket can be obstructed.
The switch to lock the front wheels is on the body of the pushchair rather than on the wheels, so you don't have to lean down far to activate it, as you do with most other pushchairs.
Travel system
The Fusio comes with a rain cover, newborn liner, foot muff and apron.
To turn it into a travel system you'll need to buy the compatible Graco Logico car seat (and adaptors) for around £100.
Flip-flop-friendly brakes
The brakes can be used even if you like wearing flip-flop, as you don't need to push them up with your toes; both pedals lock and unlock the brakes by pressing down on them.
Pros: Easily reversible seat, handy recline mechanism, wheel lock switch on body of pushchair
Cons: Was a little tricky to fold at first, shopping basket obstructed from behind
