  • Another stroller

    People on Amazon.com seemed to like it and said they got compliments on it. Their complaints with it were folding ease and heaviness.

    I would lug the kids to the store and put them in it and see how they fit. Also take a car seat (Graco safe seat or snugride) from the other aisle and shove that in there too! You don't have to have a travel system for car seats to work with a stroller.

    Re: Another stroller

    I have the three-wheel version:

    The caveat is that I have nothing to compare it to since it's the only stroller I've used within the past eleven years, so maybe other strollers are way better and I just don't know it.

    I do love it for around town. Ours handles uneven sidewalks well and pushes easily and seems very comfortable for the baby. I haven't folded it or put it in the trunk since we graduated from the baby bucket to the "big girl seat" that it came with, and those seem to be two big complaints people had about it. We did fold it and put it in the trunk when Cora was tiny and it was our only stroller (now we have an umbrella stroller for that) and I didn't find it to be a problem at all then.

    My two complaints would be that (1) with the big girl seat on it, the basket is harder to get to than it was before, but like I said, I don't know how that compares to other strollers. The basket was very accessible when we were using the carseat on it, and I think I got spoiled. And (2) I wish the sunshade covered a little more, but again, maybe they're all that way. If it had better coverage, maybe it would be to unwieldy?

    For me, the bottom line is that for $140 we have definitely gotten our money's worth out of this one!! Multiple times over, I think. If I need a double stroller in the future I would probably get their double version. To my mind, it's been a very good value overall.
