Bought the Graco Alano Travel System recently via Amazon for my daughter. The brake assembly that fits on the rear axle gave way during assembly. On inspection, found that the small plastic wedge on the brake assembly (this is about 1 cm long and 2 mm thick) that fits into the recess on the rear stroller legs was way too flimsy.
