I love this stroller! I have owned 6 strollers in total for my 20 month old and was never satisfied. My daughter is big for her age and the light-weight strollers didn't feel too sturdy when I would turn the stroller. This one moves great and turns smoothly on a dime!
The basket is the perfect size for my diaper bag and the one-hand fold is great! The only drawback is the lack of a cup holder for the parents, but I ordered the Buddy Buggy organizer and think this will work out great!
My daughter loves the stroller and has plenty of room to grow into it. It's umbrella-style fold leaves plenty of room in the trunk of my SUV for groceries.
I am relieved to be able to stop searching for the perfect stroller, since I have found it!!! |
Great for heavy babies, very sturdy, easy to use

I bought this stroller for my heavy 1 year old daughter, and sometimes my 3 year old uses it, I had a Chicco umbrella that fell apart.
The pros:
Sturdy
Manuevers well, even with very heavy children
Tall handles, I am 5'9" and my husband is 6'1" and it fits perfectly
Very compact size, fits through shopping aisles in crowded stores
Easy to fold, one step
Reclines easily and enough for a child to fall asleep in
Easy locking wheels
When folded it is very compact would fit perfectly in a small car
Very comfortable, even has an option to lower or lift the leg rest
Nice size basket that is easy to get to
The price is pretty reasonable, it is cheaper than the Maclaren and nicer in many ways
Cons:
The directions to put it together were not very clear, MAKE sure you don't put the wheels on before opening the stroller. Also the canopy has a specific spot it has to go on the stroller, but the directions don't make that clear, if you just pop the canopy on near the handles it will come off easily.
This is not a super light stroller, but it is not ridiculously heavy like a jogging stroller.
I have three kids age 8, 3 and 1 and have had many strollers, this is the best buy I have made, I am very happy with it

Great Stroller for Big kids

| I did a lot of research on several Light weight strollers, before settling for this one, based on the reviews and the best selling items. My son who's 3+ yrs old is 42" tall and none of the light weight strollers seemed to accomodate his height...I bought the MacLauren stroller from Target only to find his head dangling backwards as there's a gap b/w the seat and the canopy.Finally I chose this one on amazon and belive me the amazon best selling items never dissappoint you...The customer reviews are worth considering and I was happy i did...It's a great stroller , light weight, easily foldable and I just don't have to excert pressure to push the stroller, ...It goes upto 40 lbs and that's awesome..The features are very much same as the Maclauren, except that this's more comfortable for the kid and seems more durabl too..and yah..it's a $20/0 less too...The pricing on amazon was just great....I highly recommend this product to tall kids...They just don't have to stoop any more sitting in a stroller.... |
I wish I found it sooner!

We looked in every store at strollers, trying to find one to fit our 32 pound 3 year old who is a bit tall. I did NOT want a big jogger and did not want to pay 300 bucks for a big name. We did look at an IPO at Target. It felt solid and was easy to push, but I did not like the print at all. Also, when I tried it out the canopy wouldn't stay clipped, so I just moved along.
I am so glad I found the IPO here at amazon in different prints. I was still nervous about the canopy, but after reading all the reviews I figured it must have just been assembled wrong on display.
Now, when I assembled mine (very easy) it did take a minute or two to find the exact place where the canopy hooks on, which is why some people may be having trouble (because the instructions aren't super clear on this point, the pegs are a bit hidden down the pole under the fabric).
This stroller is great for me. I wanted something for an older child and it goes up to 55 pounds (50 in the handbook). Something that would fit in a small car (perfectly). I don't mind that it is a little heavy, it is so sturdy and so small it is easy to move around.
I only wish we found this stroller years ago. We used the big stroller with the carseat combo until it wore out. What a giant bulky monster compared to this dreamboat! The carrier underneath can hold water bottle, cellphone, etc. But I have just ordered the reccomended Buggy Buddy accessory, since it will really make this the perfect stroller (for me).

| I am very impressed with this stroller! It definitely is a lot heavier than a traditional umbrella stroller, but if you want something that feels extremely sturdy than this is your stroller. It came almost put together, all we had to install were that wheels and canopy (which was super easy). The wheels are very smooth and turn incredibly easy. It is easy to open and close. The recline is a lot better than you expect, my son can almost lay completely flat. The best thing about this stroller is how tall the handles are. My husband and I are both tall (I'm 5"9 he's almost 6'0) so we always worry about having to hunch over to push an umbrella stroller. We read the reviews, trusted what people said and they were right! It is a perfect height for both us! The basket at the bottom is pretty small and a little hard to get into. But all in all this is a fantastic buy! I'm glad I got it for our trip next week and I can't wait to try it at Disneyland later this year! |
Great for tall people!

I'm very impressed with this stroller so far. I'm 6'2" and I've had trouble in the past with the stroller handles not being high enough for a tall person like myself. I usually get hunched over and it's very uncomfortable. Not so with this stroller, I don't slouch one bit while pushing this stroller.
Another thing I like is the canopy. Many other strollers I've had in the past have the canopy as a second piece you attach to the stroller. You can either attach and use the canopy, or you need to take it off. This stroller has the canopy attached, but it's very easy to retract it when you don't want to use it. The canopy also has a window that you can view your child from the top.
The seat can be tilted back to a near horizontal position to the ground. Great for little ones to get a good nap in a comfortable yet agile position while you are out and about.
Walking with the stroller is a breeze, you can turn the stroller on a dime, and it easily travels over rough surfaces.
The stroller even has a handle! Yes, after you fold it up, there is a convenient handle to carry the stroller instead of trying to manhandle the stroller to your trunk or wherever you store it.
It's also got a 50lb weight limit, You can stroller your 4-year old if you had to!
I definitely recommend this stroller.

BEST STROLLER OUT THERE!

| After so much research and "testing" out strollers, this is by far the best umbrella stroller out there, esp for the price. Mac Claren's are waaaaaaaay over rated. This is all you need! |
