As a member of Graco Nation, I was one of the lucky ones to get an advance look at the Graco Alano FlipIt Stroller.
It holds a child up to 50 pounds, and has a padded seat that reclines.
You can adjust the harness to be a 3 or 5-point harness. You can close it with one hand, and it remains upright once folded.
The Graco Alano FlipIt Stroller is easy to steer and has solid rubber tires (not plastic) for a smooth ride.
Other convenient features are a big storage basket that remains accessible even when the seat is fully reclined, an adjustable cup holder for the driver, a zippered storage pocket, and a reversible, height-adjustable handle that gives you the option of strolling FACING your baby, or allowing the baby to face out.
The Graco Alano FlipIt Stroller really has everything, and the suggested retail price is $129.99.
I put it through the paces with Jojo, who is 5 years old and weighs 41 pounds.
I think the Graco Alano FlipIt Stroller will be a fabulous stroller for my 2-year-old, but he wasn’t around on testing day.
I can’t wait to take him to the zoo in it.

In the “flipped” mode ie baby facing you, do the wheels swivel for ease in pushing?

I just purchased the Graco Flip It (Sachi), and while the reverse feature is awesome and the whole reason why I purchased it - it is extremely difficult to steer when the handle is reversed, which defeats the purpose of why I bought the stroller… works fine in the regular position. I’m hoping someone has a tip on making it work better otherwise I will have just wasted $129.

i used to have a reversible stroller and we had to lock the one set of wheels { i think the ones closest to the person pushing the stroller} in place so they didn’t swivel around making the stroller act goofy. hope this is helpful

When using the multi position recline in an upwards motion (from laying down to sitting up) is it like the metrolite with a lever, or with a drawstring??

Anything by Graco, I love it.
Did not get the Flip Flat but purchased the Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel Systems Snugride32.
Found it to be money well spent. It was a little bulky and heavy but it is nothing compared to the compartments, the lightweight and the convenience and ease to more around.
