"A great buy!"
As a mummy to three children, ranging fom 8 down to just turned 1, I have been through no less than 40 different pushchairs. From the small folding compact stroller, through to the all changing 9 in 1 travel system. Some call me a buggyholic, I personally call myself a buggy lover.
My first thoughts on the Graco Fusio was amazement on how small the box was. My thoughts were surely there has got to be more boxes, they must of forgot to send me half of it. But opening it up, it all came clear.
As you open the box, the contents are, a newbornh liner for the newborn baby, a rain cover, an apron and a footmuff. Then there is the actual pushchair.
Not being very technically minded, I was very concerned that I wouldn’t be able to assemble it and that Mr P, who is a mechanic, would be called in aided with tools. But I need not fear, it was so easy my 8 year old could of completed it and then laughed at me for it being too easy. All you have to do it simply pop the wheels on! Amazingly simple even for me!
This buggy is a brilliant buy. It does everything you need it to. It is suitable not only for the newborn baby but also for the growing toddler. There is no need to buy a smaller stroller as your child grows.
It fold downs so compact it fits easily in the boot of a car, I have a Vauxhall Astra sporthatch and there is still loads of room for the all important shopping! It is easy to fold down, just pull up the rear handle behind the seat and squeeze the handles and its down! There is no need to remove the seat unit, which is amazing.
The Fusio is so easy to push. It glides easily through aisles in shops, without taking half of the shop with you! The wheels can be turned to static mode on the front if you so wish, but personally I found the swivel wheels so light and they actually went where you wanted them too, no wonky wheel syndrome!
The seat unit easily changes from rear facing to forward facing with just a squeeze of a button. Perfect. The pushchair comes complete with a newborn liner snuggle insert, making it cozy and supportive for the new baby. This makes the pushchair into a pramette without a need for buying anything else. It also has an apron which you can put on the front so combined with the large hood, the wind won’t get to baby. There is also harness covers so the straps don’t rub against baby, I found these really handy for my active baby who frequently moves around looking at the world.
The seat is height adjustable with just a squeeze of a button on the rear of a seat. There is so many options, from lying flat to sitting up just a little for the younger baby, to the full upright position for a nosey toddler!
You can add a Graco carseat (Logico S HP) which just fits on top on the pushchair, meaning that you can transfer baby from the car to the pushchair without having to wake them.
All of the wheels are completely removable, so those trips to the muddy park don’t result in needing to have your car boot valeted! They are so easy to take off, you simply push in the button, and they simply pop back on with a click!
The handles are rotating, meaning you can have them at just the right angle for you. I was concerned at first about there being no adjustable height, due to being only 5’1 myself and my husband being 6’4! But they really do suit us both.
The straps are easily adjusted and once by baby was strapped in, he was very secure, I had no worries about him being able to escape. There is also a bumper bar on the front which makes them seem even safer and is great for hanging toys on to keep baby amused!
I can’t find anything bad to say about the Graco Fusio. I can hardly believe all these years of trying different pushchairs and wasting so much money and this was what we needed right from the start. My advice to you? Don’t waste your money buying lots of different pushchairs, this does everything you will ever need.

"The only pushchair I'll ever need"
With a RRP of just £299, I personally think The Fusio is great value for money. The price includes the Pushchair, Footmuf, Apron, Rain Cover and a very cosy Newborn Liner. It’s really easy to assemble as it’s just a case of snapping on the wheels and it comes with a really clear set of instructions.
It can also be used as a travel system by adding the Logio S Deluxe Car Seat and adapter and you can also purchase a hard Carry Cot if you wish. The seat is reversible and it’s really simple to do so, you just unclip turn around, clip in one side then stretch the seat and clip in the other side. The Seat has four reclining positions from lying down flat (for newborns) to sat up straight (for toddlers up to 3) as well as a five point harness.
The hood is nice and big to shade little eyes from the sun and has a lovely see through bit to allow you to peek in if baby is facing out or for baby to take a look at the clouds. It’s also made from UV tested fabrics which offers great peace of mind.
It folds and unfolds very easily with colour codes to let you know if the pushchair is not fully open. The step on/off foot break is also colour coded as well as the locking wheels, which is on the side of pushchair - no need to bend down. Because it umbrella folds, when folded it’s nice and compact and doesn’t take up much room in the boot. I have a Megane, which doesn’t have the biggest boot, and there is still plenty of room for a weeks shopping and my changing bag. When folded it’s also free standing which created a lot of interest in the doctors surgery whilst visiting the health visitor.
As it only has small wheels I was concerned about taking it off road, but it’s handled really well. We’ve been across bumpy streets, grassy parks and even a stony beach and my little boy still hasn’t been woken. It’s also great at doing a 360 degree turn, great for chasing after a tearaway toddler.
It has a huge shopping basket, big enough to take my rather large OiOi changing bag. The handles will also take a couple of shopping bags each if required. The handles swivel so can be adjusted for pushers of different heights and although they are very very low in the lowest position my Husband found the highest very comfortable and he’s six foot.
All in all I think it’s great and fantastic value for money as it’ll be the only pushchair I’ll need.
