It says on Walmart that is 29" wide, seems really wide! (Hoping that's shipping width)

Dream On Me seems to always make crummy strollers that have a little extra padding and cost way more. Shockingly misleading to steal the name Turbo, anyone think Graco's gonna sue them? Or did they sell them the seat and name and let them put the full cover on it? Hmmmmm..... Quick, someone buy one!

In the description it says "promote correct installment of the seatbelt". Am I the only one wondering if you get part now and the rest will come in pieces over the next six months?

Dream On Me tends to license designs from others. Their infant seat is a Mia Moda. Strollers identical to others. This looks like it could be a Graco in new clothes.

It looks more like a Harmony to me. But if it isn't a Graco I can't imagine they'd be able to use the Turbo name without getting in trouble for it.

That's what I meant, I said it backwards. The stroller we had, an online return, was definitely just a Kolcraft with extra padding and cost twice as much.

I totally thought it was a Graco and Dream On Me was part of the name!

Wow... That's pretty blatant, stealing the Turbo Booster name.

I love that blue cover. I think the seat looks like a harmony or team tex/nania more than anything else. The seat looks blow molded to me. I will consider buying one to try out. I might like it. I love the cover. (I love the hybrid's cover as well. It's disappointing that it isn't a good seat for my family.)
