Strollers

Before buying this for our 13-months old baby we hesitated between this and the Maclaren, but decided on this due to the price, that it reclines so that our baby can sleep in comfortably and the weight. We had this stroller for a couple of weeks now and I am impressed with how lightweight it is. I travel with baby on NYC subway often and I have managed, with some effort, to take out baby, collapse it and put it on my shoulder to climb the steps. It is a little tricky to fold it out with one hand though, for you have to push the foot pedal hard and pull the handle bar to make sure it locks into place. If that part was easier I would easily give it 5 stars. My son sleeps comfortably in it, the pulldown sunshade protects his eyes and I like that the recline is seamless in the adjustment. Overall a very good stroller, really lightweight that will follow us on many travels. Please note that if you get the Uppababy travel bag you have insurance to any damage to the stroller if you gate check it!"..."  Read more

Just received this lightweight and eye catching full size stroller. I found it to be as expected. The positives are lightweight, appealing, ease of use, great adjustable handle, tray easily swings out. Two things I have found as negatives, which are the basket is not as large as I expected. Though it does handle a rather large baby bag, when using an infant seat, it is very difficult(next to impossible) to remove the baby bag without taking the baby seat out first. The second, and I really feel disappointed with this one, is that after only two uses, the padding material that is wrapped around the handle cracked near one of the seams. I thought, wow, that certainly stinks, since we are in the early stages of expected use. I am going to contact the company, though, and see what can be done to remedy the situation."..."  Read more

I shopped for an umbrella stroller for a while online as I don't have many stores to look at strollers in my area. I saw good reviews of this one, and have to agree with others. It is a lot taller, sturdier and nicer than a typical umbrella stroller. I love the harness as I started useing this with my 5 month old. He doesn't tip over, or slide with it. The back reclines nicely which also keeps my baby from slouching or tiping over. You can recline it with one hand, but is easier with two as you have to push two spots to make it go down. The basket is deep, but not wide. Still, it's enough for a few essentials like diapers, wipes, bottles, extra clothes or small blanket for baby. I like the way the leg rest goes up, perfect for a baby who can put their legs straight, and when it is down, it is a little padded for a toddlers legs. The shade works well, I can put it almost over my whole baby if we are walking into the sun, and it is out of his reach. The only thing I don't like is the crotch strap, it is only a few inches from the back rest, and doesn't seem comfortable. I had my 4 yr old sit with it and he doesn't like it, but he is big enough not to need the straps anyway. For this reason it is a 4 out of 5 stars for me. Easy to assemble, pushes nicely even on the road, stores compactly."..."  Read more
