Mom of one..., November 15, 2009

This is a great product. The reason why I choose this stroller was because my sister has purchased the same stroller but the double version and I used it and loved it. I couldn't believe how well it turned, specially, at the mall and in and out of stores. For use a large stroller (the double one) it maneuvered extremely well! Also, I owned three other strollers prior to this one and one being a Perego Pliko P3 stroller that is supposed to be an outstanding stroller (however the price is outrageous compared to this stroller), and of all the strollers I have owned and used, I disliked them all this is by far the best product! I have not had any problems with this stroller. I have recommended it to many people and many people have actually stopped me on the road to asked me what kind of stroller it was and where they can get it. It is so easy to maneuver and great looking. The only issue would be that it is a bit heavier than any of the other strollers I used but it's not that bad considering all the other great aspects about it. I love that it has a cup holder that detaches. It has a seat that reclines and also can be removed to face out or mommy. I LOVE THAT! Plus, it comes with a universal attachment for if your baby is an infant and you want to just take the babies car seat out of the car and click in right onto the stroller, it works. That is the best... the only thing I was disappointed with and didn't realize it until I purchased it and got home was that it wasn't quite compatible with my Britax car seat. You can still use it with Britax (although, the manufacturer doesn't recommend it) but it doesn't CLICK in and you MUST use the straps provided with the stroller to keep the car seat secure. It really wasn't so much an issue for me, as my child is 7 months old and big enough to use the seat provided. (I did use the car seat attachment a few times, but had to keep the straps on tight) I hope that this review is helpful. If you are debating about getting this stroller and something else, I HIGHLY recommend this one. Specially, the one with the one wheeled front. That way, you can use it for walking/running as well. This stroller truly is all in one and perfect.

great buy, November 2, 2009
We have been using this since April 2009 and dont have any significant complaints. we loved the fact that we could have our baby facing us in the beginning and now that he can sit up we have turned it around and he loves that. its held up well. it is a little bulky but then most of the strollers are. overall we are pleased with this model and would recommend it to anyone.
Good Stroller, Good Buy, November 1, 2009

We were looking for a reversible seat stroller and one that would allow our two-month old to grow into that was reasonably priced. As hoped the large wheels along with suspension make the ride very comfortable and smooth - even over sidewalk bumps. The front wheel can swivel for fast walking or lock into place allowing for fast walking or even jogging. It is easy to lock/unlock the rear wheels - it uses a bar across the rear axle connecting the wheels. The two large cup holders has a tray in between them where you can place other small items. Some drawbacks: The stroller requires two hands to fold and when folded is a bit large. For that reason we use it as our walking stroller that stays home. We keep a smaller folding, short transport stroller in our car. The canopy does not have a window making it difficult to see him while walking. Because of its small size, it was necessary to buy a sun screen right away. Even with the drawbacks, I highly recommend this stroller.

Love my stroller!, October 16, 2009
I got this stroller for my 4th baby. I absolutely love it and wish I had had one like this for my other 3!
Cool stroller, but made for small children and not perfect., October 15, 2009

I've had this stroller for a few days. I really like the design and the reversible feature. However, the seat is short and narrow. My son at only 3 months old, 14.5 lb and 25" already reaches the top of the seat. I'm afraid he will not fit in it in a snowsuit this winter. The seat does not fully recline and not good for newborns. Folding is a hassle. Also, the first day we went for a walk, a little rock stuck in a front wheel and made a crack/dent in it. I don't think this will impact the ride, but I am upset about it. I'll see how this stroller works for us.
