5 Stars Excellent everyday stroller
We love this stroller. Have now owned it for 13 months, 10 of those it was used with our son on a very regular basis with the matching carseat. This stroller has exceeded our expectations. It is quite light for its size; for those who state that this stroller is heavy and cumbersome, apparently have never lifted one of the popular Graco fully loaded strollers (which a friend of mine owns). I could not imagine trying to cram that thing into my small Honda Civic trunk. This one just fits. It is easy and quick to collapse and unfold. Making sure the front tire is turned to the side when sliding it into a trunk allows it to just roll right in. I have never had a problem with the front wheel. Recently it has started to jerk a bit, but this is something to expect with anything that swivels, it does need to be oiled once in a while. We have only had to fill the tires a hand full of times since purchasing it. I’ve never had to use the locking feature on the front wheel. The canopy is very sufficient. We have used this stroller everywhere, not just normal store use. We even took it down a steep and very rocky 1 1/2 mile trail with our one month old in the carseat to a cave and it performed beautifully and my son never woke up! LOTS of space for things underneath, I love how far back it reclines. It is a slight pain to adjust the seat to a fully upright position because it’s impossible to do it with your child in it. I have not run with this stroller–just walks. So can’t comment on how it might perform in that area but we didn’t buy this “jogger” stroller for that purpose. We bought it for everyday use because we liked the design much more then the standard 8 wheeled variety and as I said, it is MUCH lighter then those and a good price. My friend with the Graco even said she wished they had researched their purchase more and got something like ours. Something a lot of people don’t realize with the other wheel design: 1. they’re plastic 2. You can’t walk over rocks, grass or any other surface other then something smooth very easily 3. and they DO NOT maneuver well. This stroller is highly recommended!
4 Stars We really like this stroller
I was looking for a stroller that I could use in the mall. I also wanted something to go walking with on local trails. We ended up getting this one because it seemed to have everything I wanted without the big $ tag.
Pros & cons
*The shade- The huge shade cover is great. I know someone said theirs didn’t move forward all the way but ours does. No problems with ours.
*Storage basket- I like the nice size storage basket underneath. The only drawback is that it can be a little awkward to reach it but I can get a lot to fit in it.
*The front wheel hand lock/release- I like it though I don’t use it a lot since I don’t jog with it.
*Folding- No problems with folding it. It’s a little bulky but if you open up the tray it folds better. We have a minivan and it fits fine in the back.
Our main use for this stroller is walking. We walk paved (but not smooth) trails all the time and my daughter can fall asleep in the stroller no problem. We love it and have been using a lot since we got it nearly 4 months ago.
4 Stars Stroller
Love it. Just put your hands on it and walk. Not much pushing necessary. I don’t run, so I don’t have issues others had.
1 Star Horrible Wheel Shimmy while walking or jogging
My baby just turned 1 this weekend, and we’ve had this stroller an entire year. We’ve had problems from the first day of use with the front wheel shaking wildly from side to side. This happens not just while jogging, but also while walking. We’ve checked numerous times to make sure the wheel is tight and it is. It’s absolutely impossible to run and the shaking happens often while walking and is so bad that it jerks my son and myself around and I almost lose control of the stroller.
I am very dissappointed with this stroller and would NOT recommend this to anyone. Pick another brand and do some research. We definitely did not research enough for this.
There are a few other cons as well that other people have listed but this one tops the list and bothers me every day I take it out to use.
1 Star Broken Front Wheel
I have returned this stroller twice - only to have the same result of a loose front wheel that shakes the whole stroller when you are walking. Lousy design. Do not buy!
But I’m sure, come summer time this will be a MUST HAVE in the car and on a jog.. I’m just dreading the wind.
