5 out of 5 stars Rollin' & Lovin' It!!!   July 30, 2007
Jacklyn Fornstrom (Upton, WY USA)

I researched online for 2 weeks before buying this stroller. And was still nervous when I did for fear it would be "cheap". When the stroller arrived I took it out of the box and put it together in under 5 minutes. I bought it to use with my nine month old who weighs 22lbs. and is 29 inches tall. His older brother who is 3 and weighs 38lbs. and is 36in. tall climbed in and wanted a ride right away. I couldn't believe how well this stroller pushed with him in it. It turns on a dime, pushes like a dream, and folds to take up very little room in my Honda Odyesse. This stroller wouldn't make a great all-terrian stroller, but is perfect for shopping, trips to the park and everyday life. I also plug in my ipod shuffle in the ipod doc, even if it is for a mini. The holder is too big but it works and my baby loves the music and the ride. I LOVE IT!!

I bought this stroller less than a month ago and first of all it's not a lightweight stroller. The maximum weight is 35 pounds and my baby weighs only 30 and the seat is already coming apart at the seams. The reclining is so inconvenient when you have to be pulling the strap to adjust it. To release my child the button you have to press is extremely hard and so small that it digs into your finger. The customer service is HORRIBLE. I was planning to purchase the twin version of this stroller since I have 2nd baby on the way but I am going to spend a little more on a different brand. Save yourself a headache and don't buy this stroller.


5 out of 5 stars Great travel stroller   February 7, 2008
Happy Traveling Mom (North Carolina)

We first purchased this stroller because we needed a lightweight stroller for air travel. This stroller was exactly what we needed.

PROS
- Very lightweight
- Maneuvers easily through a crowded airport with one hand
- Snack tray is a saving grace with a toddler (even has a cup holder for baby and mom)
- Storage basket is large (you will be amazed how much you can fit in it)
- Seat reclines for baby to have a nap
- Sun shade provides lots of coverage
- Stroller folds up very compact and even fits through the x-ray scanner at the airport.

CONS
- The buttons that release the snack tray are small and hard to use, but after enough use they relax and release easier.
- The wheels could be made out of a more durable material. We haven't had problems with them, but they don't seem the toughest. I guess the material that they use is part of what keeps this stroller so light.

Overall a great stroller. There are a couple of different stores selling this stroller in different colors - green (seen here), red and wine.

The stroller is compact and you can push it easily. But, the recline is kind of a pain to get in the just right- position. Due to the seat incline position the croch belt seems to slip to one side of her inner thighor the other. The food tray is eye level and she has to pull herself up to it to retrieve her snack.


4 out of 5 stars Excellent value for price - good looks too!   November 12, 2007

After considering several lightweight strollers, from the Maclaren, Inglesina Swift and Zooper Twist, I decided to purchase this economical ($70 vs. $180 -$200) model in green. First, even my husband and sons like the color (enough to comment on it) and we constantly receive compliments on its nice modern looks. After using it for 3 months now, I can report that it offers several good features for its price and size range that couldn't be ignored.

I give it 4 stars because of the seat-recline mechanism as well as the canopy mechanism. Both are simple/primitive and awkward, but they work well considering. The seat recline is not a 3-position style but simply a strip of nylon webbing with a buckle which (ingenuise-ly) provides multiple recline levels. Despite this, it is a very STURDY, medium sized stroller that is still Lightweight!!! I can't say how surprised I am at how easy and convenient it is for me to use - I gave up on strollers until this came along.

That said, I love the height of the handle bar (I'm 5'2") & that it's padded and VERY EASY TO STEER - one handed most times. Also the parent cupholder is a nice amenity in this price range. I REALLY like the storage space underneath. Roomy for a lightweight/umbrella class. The wheels are a good size, so they don't get caught up on varied terrain - from up and down sidewalks and steps to grass and gravel, this has handled them all without needing to be lifted. (a more expensive stroller would probably handle diverse terrain better but this one doesn't stall or get stuck.) The canopy size is generous. And, the shoulder straps are nicely padded. It's a 3-pt. harness that makes removing the baby convenient yet safe for strapping in. (We don't have a climber yet either, though.) Also, a HUGE perk in this stroller is how easy it is to open and close! My favorite.

Additionally, I like the width of the seat and that the seat seems sturdy and is decently padded so as not to become too hard and uncomfortable on long outings.

The toddler bar is removable - somewhat awkward to do so but still removable. It's cupholder is nicely sized and conveniently placed as well.

I don't like the how high the toddler bar/cupholder sits. My baby is 8 mo. now, sitting up and reaching for her own cup, but the seat recline is too far back at its highest. Thus he's constantly trying to pull himself up just to reach his cup. But that doesn't frustrate him :)! We will probably remove the stroller/toddler bar for outings to the zoo or where the baby will want to look out.

On the flip side, my 4 y.o. loves sitting in the stroller to take a break and the recline works great for him - but we prefer to remove the toddler bar to give his knees more room.

All of this said, I would best recommend this for the toddler stage to whatever the weight limit is. It did work nicely for our newborn after 3 months when he was big enough to be buckled in reasonably. It's definitely a good buy at $70 with free shipping on Amazon or walmart.com.

Had I spent the extra $100 or so on the nicer models in this lightweight luxury umbrella class, I would have a stroller that could last another 10 lbs. or so, but this is our 3rd child and we just don't push our outings as long as we used to, where a 40 lb. child is begging for a break in the stroller! Also a more luxurious stroller will have more aluminum and would feel more sturdy. This one feels light because it has lots of plastic components, but that doesn't bother me.

I just really appreciate a safe, lightweight, affordable, single-solution stroller that will last a few years :)
