The Mutsy 4Rider Light is a versatile model with several seating options, including a bassinet, a fully reclining seat and an optional DuoSeat that converts to a double tandem stroller. Both the bassinet and standard seat are reversible, and adapters are available for use with most car seats. Other optional accessories include a FunSeat with handlebar for toddlers who like to "steer," a step-up board for older toddlers, and matching diaper bags, rain covers and more. The 4Rider Light is consistently praised for its maneuverability, which is aided by a padded, adjustable-height handlebar, and 10-inch front and 12-inch rear rubber wheels that provide a smooth ride even on rough terrain. It has a weight capacity of 45 pounds.
Despite its name, reviewers find the 4Rider Light heavy and bulky to transport when folded. While Mutsy's website reports the stroller's weight at 19 pounds, one respected product review source says it actually weighs 29 pounds. Owners agree that the stroller's weight and bulk are problems, saying it doesn't fit in their cars.

Authors Denise and Alan Fields say Mutsy strollers got a slow start in the U.S. market, primarily due to the weight of their first offerings, which topped 30 pounds. Newer models including the 4Rider Light are still heavy, but the authors praise the stroller's comfort and ease of use.
