I have a graco quattro stroller, and I had a safeseat, I did not buy them together though. It does click in easily and it has two tabs on the sides of carriage. to secure it fully.

What I hate about it.

When the carseat is attached, the seat of the carriage needs to be flat , and that makes it that you have zero access to the basket.

The stroller itself is heavy, and big, so if you are tight on space, its a big issue.

Honestly, I preferred using my kolcraft snap and go with the carseat, it was so much easier. I do like the carriage itself for my toddler.

As for the bigger Graco carseats, they weigh a ton, once your baby is 20 LBS, you do not want to be lugging him plus a carseat, a convertible car seat, and a stroller is the better option.

After my last baby, my husband forced me to give away the safe seat, as I ended up doing major damage to my shoulder, to the point I could not lift my arm to close the trunk on my van, and had to get a van with an automatic trunk because I could no longer lift my arms over my head.

I would choose a travel system that came with a safeseat for up to 22 lbs, anything else, seems excessive to me. (Most babies will not outgrow the 22 lbs weight limit in the first year.
