The Kolcraft Contours Options 3-Wheeler Stroller is an inexpensive all-terrain stroller that gets very good marks from parents in owner-written reviews. On sites like Amazon.com and Buzzillions.com, parents say the stylish stroller looks just as good as more expensive models, and maneuvers well for everyday use. Although the Kolcraft Contours Options 3-Wheeler Stroller is not recommended for jogging, most parents say they are happy with its performance and they especially like the reversible seat that allows your baby to face forwards or backwards.

The Kolcraft Contours Options 3-Wheeler Stroller does have one downside and it's a big one. During independent testing in 2007, this all-terrain stroller received a "poor" rating for safety. Tip-over tests show that the optional car seat detached from the stroller frame if the stroller tipped over. Restraint straps keep the car seat from detaching completely, but the testers say the seat should have stayed latched in the event of a tip-over. The stroller performs well in all other areas, but the testing organization recommends that parents do not use an infant seat with this stroller. If you need a stroller that is more durable, reviewers say you can't beat the BOB Revolution (*est. $390). It's more expensive than the Kolcraft Contours Options 3-Wheeler, but parents rave about the BOB line and it receives high marks from professional reviewers.

We found the best feedback on the Kolcraft Contours Options 3-Wheeler from a major consumer testing organization that evaluated the stroller back in 2007. Parent feedback provides another great source of reviews for this stroller, and sites like Amazon.com and Buzzillions.com host hundreds of individual reviews.
