| This is a sharp looking, light, wonderful stroller. It's easy to carry, it folds small. It seems very comfortable for my 3.5 year old. The canapy and storage are very nice. |

I bought this for a recent trip to from the East Coast to the Midwest. My baby was only 4-1/2 months old, but I bought this umbrella stroller even though it is recommended for age 6 months and up. When I unzipped the sides to make it recline, she was able to sit up comfortably. She hates the shoulder straps in her car set, but the harness on this stroller doesn't bother her. It is a little short as some other reviewers have mentioned. But I'm only 5'3" and my husband is only 5'6", so I bought it anyway. I find that it manouvers so well, I don't even need 2 hands. In the airport, I pushed my baby with one hand and pulled a carry-on bag with the other. I didn't have to stand directly behind it, I can push it with one hand while standing next to it, so I don't kick the tires.
The only drawback is that I had to use a wrench to remove the sun visor. It seemed to get in the way while we were in the airport, so I wanted to remove it. But I had to wait until we reached our destination to find a tool to remove it. And now I want to put it back on so I can take her for walks in it outside instead of using my giant stroller/car seat combo. |

| I REALLY love this stroller except for one major flaw, it hurts my back to push it, my husband's too. The handles are just out of reach for me at 5'8" so I have to hunch slightly. By the time I get down the street my back hurts so bad I have to turn around :( I'm so disappointed because it's a great stroller, especially for the price!! Nice canopy, nice basket, I would highly recommend it provided you were like 5'6" or shorter. |

"Good second stroller for outdoor use" | 2007-03-31 |

This seems like a really sturdy, lightweight stroller. I just wanted something simple and strong that can get us out of the house quickly--we live in a very hilly, sort of rustic area, so I needed something I could take my son to the park in without hauling out the big buggy. This is really light, and it folds and has a carrying strap in case the boy wants to walk a bit. (There is also a storage bag for travel.)
The tires have treads on them, so they can handle steep terrain, and they give a pretty smooth ride over bumps. The fabric is sort of a thick canvas-sy polyester--not removable, but it seems like it could easily be scrubbed/hosed clean if necessary. The seat also has some padding and back support (although, on the con side, it's probably not the coolest compared to mesh). The weight limit is given as 37 lbs, so my 19-month old still has plenty of room to grow--his shoulders are comfortable and his feet don't reach the footrest yet (he is 27 pounds and about 33 inches tall). On the plus side, it seems bigger than the Wrangler All-Weather umbrella stroller, plus it reclines a bit (you unzip/unbutton the sides to allow the fabric to unfold), unlike the Volo.
The square canopy is maybe not the greatest (it only covers the face, and could actually sit a little higher I think)--but as for everyone complaining that it falls off, I have found that when you flip the canopy to the back, if you then detach the back flap from the seat, you can attach the side flaps to that velcro on the back to keep it from sliding off.
Some people have also mentioned kicking the wheels, but I'm 5'6" and haven't had any problems--I think it's a matter of not standing right on top of the thing since it's an umbrella stroller and doesn't have a superwide wheelbase.
I would give it 4.5 stars I think, but am giving 5 because of the great price! I'm pretty happy with this--and my son is constantly trying to climb in, so he must like it too... I figure that with the money we saved, we can buy a nice Kettrike or some other form of transportation the boy can grow into. |

"Great Stroller" | 2005-11-06 |

| This is the lightest easiest stroller. It's small enough to stash in the trunk and still be able to buy groceries. If my son decides he doesn't want to ride in it, it's light enough to fold up and carry on my shoulder. I like that there is a sun shade and I love the 5-point harness, I have used the rain bonnet once in a marathon, I was the only one without a wet kid. The seat also is angled towards the back so the child doesn't slide right out when you release the buckes like some strollers. Has zippers on both sides to recline for sleeping. It does make for a slightly reclined chair, but he doesn't mind. Very well made and sturdy, mine has been through a lot. I have owned it for about 1 1/2 years with no problems. |
