Ease of use and convenience
Stroller seat
The stroller seat as I mentioned earlier reclines to multiple positions, including a flat carriage position for comfy outdoor naps. You can sit it upright when your child is awake and wants a better view of their environment. The back of the seat is hard so your child won’t sink into it.
This seat is equipped with a five point harness that is easy to use. It adjust for height and around the waist to ensure proper fit. Both the shoulder and crotch straps are padded for comfort.
This seat can receive a Graco infant car seat and other name brand car seats to make a travel system. When installed, the canopy of the stroller and that of the car seat can work together to make a comfortable and dark place for your baby to sleep. The infant car seat can only click connect in the rear direction.
The seats of both the stroller and car seat are soft and comfy even on long rides. Right in front of the stroller seat is a padded arm bar with a cup holder for your child.
The great thing about this stroller is that everything clicks to let you know you have done it right. The Poseidon and the pierce colors are fun and great and are easy to spot amongst black, red and blue strollers.
Wheels
The wheels on this stroller are not the best but it’s a cheap stroller so I expect it. The wheels swivel to provide easy maneuverability. The wheels are made of some sort of plastic that is not very durable but ok. You can lock the front wheel to give this stroller additional stability if you are riding on uneven terrain or want to ride straight.
Handlebar and parent console
The handlebar is unfortunately not adjustable. It is however set at a position that is comfortable for many parents. Close to the handle is a parent console that has a covered compartment for items like keys, phones and small purses. This console has two cup holders.
Canopy
This is one of the crowning features of this stroller. The canopy is big, adjustable and provides a lot of protection from the sun and wind. It can be unzipped to extend it even further and zippered down to get it out of the way when you take it indoors. The canopy has a viewing window for checking on your child as you stroll.
Storage
The storage under the seat is big but not easily assessible. It can hold many small things but you might have trouble fitting a big diaper bag in it. The design is very balance, so you can hang a diaper bag on the handlebar without tipping it over.
Fold
This stroller folds quick and easy. It auto locks and self stands when folded. It weighs 22 lbs. so it is easy to carry around when folded. It even has a carry strap for easy and convenient transportation. It is not bulky so you can fit it in the trunk of a small car.
Safety
First off it has a five point harness that is very easy to use. Then it has a one-step rear parking brake that is pretty easy to use too. The canopy is big and extends to protect your child from the elements. This stroller is lightweight but surprisingly well balanced. It does not tip over easily.

Final thoughts
The Graco Aire3 stroller makes a great everyday stroller. It is made to be convenient with a lightweight portable frame, a quick auto locking self-standing fold and a swiveling locking front wheel. It is designed with safety in mind as it is equipped with a five point harness, a one-step brake and a big adjustable canopy. It is comfortable for your child from the padded seat and straps to the flat carriage position. It can receive an infant car seat to become a travel system.
