Delta Childrens Products Simmons Pearl Stroller in Orange

For a stroller that grows with your child, the Simmons Pearl Stroller is three models in one! In the beginning stages, the Pearl Stroller easily converts into a baby carriage enabling you to travel safely with your newborn. As your toddler (up to 33 lbs) becomes eager to explore his or her surroundings, the Pearl also features a reversible seat unit with three-position recline allowing your passenger to face forward or backwards. For added convenience, this versatile stroller turns into a car seat holder (compatible with Graco Snugride car seats) in a matter of minutes and also folds up small enough to fit overhead on an airplane. Safety comes first with Simmons. Equipped with a 5 point safety harness and sturdy aluminum frame, you can rest assured your youngster will be buckled in tight. The multi position canopy and on board foot cover protect against the elements outside; while the adjustable footrest and padded seat provide added comfort. On the go parents will love the ergonomonic, comfort grip handles which allow easy maneuverability and the quick release, dual brake system. Just step on the brake once and the wheels will lock for more stability; step on it twice and both wheels will unlock. Theres no fuss with this stroller- just fold and go! The Pearl Strollers snap-off front wheels and super light weight makes transporting a breeze. Exclusive Simmons Pearl Stroller Features include:
Easy transport when folded
Super light weight, only 18lbs
Strong aluminum frame
Ergonomic easy grip handles
5 point safety harness
Ultra compact, 33Hx23.5W x15D, stands when folded

3 Stars Preliminary review
The stroller just arrived yesterday, so I have not actually used it yet, but since there are apparently no reviews on this product yet, I thought people might still want to know what I think of it so far.

First, I love the fact that the seat can face either direction (one of the main reasons I bought it). It also folds up neatly and easily when the seat is faced away from the handle (although it does require both hands). However, it does not seem to fold completely when the seat is faced towards the handle, which could potentially become quite inconvenient.

The stroller is very nice and light and handles well (although I do not know yet how it handles with a child in it). However, it does not appear to be the best quality (my husband is concerned that it does not appear to be 100safe, for instance, because the seat is held in to the frame at only two points), but perhaps time will tell about that. The instructions booklet does say that the stroller is suitable for newborns, but I must admit that it does not look like something I would feel comfortable putting a newborn into. (Maybe that’s just me–baby is not born yet.)

Another thing that looks like it will be an issue: the sun awning will probably be adequate when the seat is in the upright position, but it seems that when the seat is in the reclined position, the awning will be completely ineffective.

A couple of other things, although I consider them trivial: the basket under the stroller opens in the front of the stroller, rather than near the person pushing–this makes no sense to me. Also there are no cup holders, but I’m not totally sure why people want cup holders on a stroller anyway.

I only paid $100 for this (not through Amazon), which is why I was willing to risk buying a product that had no customer reviews, but still, I doubt that I would buy it again having been able to investigate it in person.

UPDATE:

I still haven’t used the stroller yet, but someone who knows what he’s talking about has looked at it and assured me that this stroller is fine for a newborn. Also, I haven’t tried this yet either, but I bought a canopy extender which should hopefully take care of the awning issue. I would actually probably increase my rating (even though I still haven’t used the stroller), but the website won’t let me.

3 Stars Delta Simmons Pearl stroller: good but not amazing
Quick rundown:

lightest weight stroller I could find that has the option of facing baby toward you or away from you.

rear wheel covers popped off 7 times in first 15 minutes of use.

Instruction booklet for assembly is quite poor. Anyone who has assembled a stroller before or is adept at looking at things and seeing where they fit should be fine but if you rely on the user guide for actual help in assembling things, you are going to need a second person or a different stroller.

Very attractive and easy to use. When seat is facing the parent, stroller cannot be folded completely.

Sun shade needs improvement. It is on the narrow end of the spectrum and is not adequately adjustable.

The basket seems shallow.

There’s no parent-friendly places for a water bottle or cell phone, keys, iPod, etc.

With some after-market accessories, I am going to make it a great stroller, once I get these damn wheel covers to stay put.

5 Stars Great value-a high quality stroller at a great price for parents on the go
I bought this stroller as an upgrade from the stroller I registered for originally. I have a Combi stroller that I like, but after having used this one, I am a Chicco convert. The higher handles on this stroller make it more comfortable for both my husband and I to push. It is easy to maneuver through doors and has a decent size basket for a compact umbrella stroller. Nice that it includes a cup holder and rain cover (unlike other brand where you need to buy these items separately). Fairly compact, lightweight and good for travel. We bought this before a trip to Florida and it was great at the airport as well as at SeaWorld. My 1 1/2 year old daughter seems to like the ride and even slept in it well. The seat reclines nicely and has a range of positions. The colors are great and it has a great design look to it. Completely comparable to a Maclaren (in my opinion) but for a lower price. I highly recommend this stroller! Only problem I have encountered is that I occasionally have trouble getting the locking mechanism to lock when the stroller is folded to go into my trunk. I can usually do it but sometimes it is temperamental.

4 Stars Chicco C5 Stroller- thumbs up
I am really pleased with this stroller. I love the fact it came with a drink holder - not sure if that’s a recent thing, since I read some reviews saying they didn’t have one. It is the kind that’s removable, but it works.

I have only used this a couple times and I do think opening and closing it is a little tricky… Maybe it will be easier after I use it more? I hope… The concept is easy, but maybe mine is just not broke in yet? Or I’m doing something wrong? I hope it loosens up for our Disney trip coming up. It’s the main reason why I purchased it.

Overall for an umbrella stroller, this one is great! It has everything I was looking for and the price was cheaper than I thought I’d end up spending for all those features. Even though I have not mastered the opening part of it, collapsing it is very easy. I would still highly recommend this stroller.

4 Stars nice light weight stroller
I just got this stroller as a replacement for my larger stroller. My previous stroller was not overly large, but it did fit the car seat, as a frame of reference (Graco brand). I needed a lighter weight stroller for my toddler. I will compare this to the Maclaren Volo since I tried that as well.

My toddler never wanted to sit in the Maclaren. I was so disappointed because that stroller was so lightweight, easy to fold up and carry. Ultimately I’m glad it didn’t work out because the Maclaren has no cup holder and it did not recline. My Graco had 3 cup holders plus it reclined. I was having a hard time transitioning away from that.

The Chicco C5 has both - a (read 1) cup holder and it reclines! The wheels are also larger than the Maclaren and it has all wheel suspension. It has a very smooth ride and folds like a dream. The only caveat is that it weighs about 5lbs more than the Maclaren.

We do a lot of trips to Disney and I really wanted something to fold up more compact than my Graco for those bus rides back to the resort. This fits the bill. Additionally, there is a carrying handle when it’s folded and it comes with a rain guard (which the Maclaren Volo only offers as an added ($$) accessory).

I really liked the Maclaren but they should improve upon its included options. My son is happy in the Chicco C5 so that’s what we’re sticking with.

4 Stars so far so good
only had this stroller a couple of months but so far I like it. bought it to keep in the car and use for trips to the mall, short jaunts, etc. it is light, easy to fold and unfold, easy to maneuver, and seems pretty comfortable for our 20 month old.

4 Stars Great, affordable stroller!
We’ve had this stroller for a few weeks now and love it! Our son is almost 17 months old and rides comfortably in this stroller. My favorite features are how compact it is, really attractive design, reclines much farther than most umbrellas we tested, is easy to steer and navigate, has a cupholder and good storage underneath. It also comes with a really durable rain cover which we’ve used many times already. My only complaint is the sun shade. It provides minimal coverage. Overall, I think this stroller is well worth the price.

Closed-camera TV footage from Australia taken on Thursday reveals the harrowing moments a baby in a pram rolls off a Melbourne platform ahead of an oncoming train. When the mother realises what’s happening, she ran to the track’s edge, but it’s too late. She screams for the train, which had been slowing for the station anyway, to stop. But it still drags the child and pram for nearly 40 meters. Fortunately, the baby was strapped tightly in his pram and amazingly only suffered a bump on his head. The child was taken to Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital and was said to be in stable condition. His mother reportedly is distraught from the incident, which comes just one day after the train company launched a public awareness campaign to keep children safe around trains.

4 Stars Works great with Chicco Keyfit 30
We use this with a Chicco Keyfit 30 and it fits very nicely, it’s snug inside and although it does not “snap” I never felt the seat was not secure. There is a strap you can use to attach it but I never felt the need. We have a big diaper bag that you can’t get out once the seat is in place so you must left off the seat to access it but for us that’s no big deal, we never use the cup holders but the key holder works great for keys and cell phones.

4 Stars Pleased Mom
I purchased the snap n go stroller for use with my baby trend carseat at a conference. I am a mechanically capable person so assembly was easy though I did struggle a bit attaching the basket, which was on backwards out of package. At the conference the stroller was wonderful. It traversed the grounds of the conference center like a champ and even did some “off-roading” it is was a struggle but the stroller can be controlled with one hand. It is a challenge to get my mid sized diaper bag in and out from under the carrier, but it is just as easy to pick up the car seat grab the bag and replace the car seat. The carseat locks onto the front bar pretty well though I did have to check and make sure both locks caught. I am glad that I purchased the snap n go over a stoller system as it fits into my trunk is easy to get out and use and lets my baby stay sleeping from car to stoller. Overall I would recommend this to others.

4 Stars Really like for Chicco Keyfit 30
I bought this to carry my Chicco Keyfit 30 infant car seat. I really like it. Steers well. Is easy to fold. Feels well made. Looks good. Storage basket is a good size, but accessible from the front of stroller instead of the back, which is a weird design element. The car seat doesn’t clip in to the stroller (like the Graco car seats clip into the Graco snap n go), but there is a strap that keeps the seat in place. It’s good!

5 Stars Excellent product
This is a really handy item to have. I have gotten a great deal of use out of it, and have definitely got my money’s worth. It’s simple, easy, lightweight, compact and convenient. A must for all parents on the go.

5 Stars Favorite Shower Gift!
I received the Snap N’ Go as a shower gift and have loved it for 6 months and counting! It was super easy to assemble, but that’s just the beginning of its benefits. We use it with the Chicco Keyfit 30 carseat and it fits perfectly. Living in the city makes it hard to lug around a large stroller (in fact, I still have the Chicco Cortina stroller in its box!), but the Snap N’ Go is lightweight and easy to maneuver. In addition, it fits well in my midsize sedan’s trunk with tons of room to spare. I also love the cup-holders for my *cold* coffee and the little compartment for my keys. Great features for a fabulous price. . .highly, highly recommended!
