| With the birth of our first daughter eight years ago we purchased a big bulky Eddie Bauer stroller. It was so heavy and hard to fold that we ended up getting a Metrolite stroller when she was six months old. Now with our second child, we didn't bother with the big systems and opted to go straight for the Metrolite. Best choice we ever made. Has all the features of the larger strollers with the light weights and ease of use that parents prefer. A+ product. |
Inexpensive and Great

| This stroller has all the features we were looking for: lightweight, compact, large wheels for easy NYC sidewalk manuvering, large and easily accessible basket, one hand push, cupholders. It is a far better stroller than those cost two/three times its cost. Love it. |
Greatest Stroller Ever!

This is the absolute best stroller that I have ever used (and we have used a lot). Compared to our other heavy, bulky Peg Perego Venezia, this stroller is a dream. It is easy to assemble out of the box and ready to use. It is so simple to open and close and the latch keeps it closed so it can even stand up on the floor while closed. It is light and fits easily into the trunk of our small sedan. I couldn't fit an entire load of groceries in the trunk while the stroller is in there....but why would I bring the stroller to the grocery store?! It is narrow, and easy to pick up with one hand. The large, rubber, puncture proof wheels are awesome - we have walked through mud, and puddles and all over the place with no problems. It is like pushing nothing at all - totally effortless. The basket is large, the cups are great. It has 3 reclining positions which is very useful for an on the go nap, or diaper change. The 5 point harness is useful and actually works, unlike the Peg Perego Aria which slips out easily.
Overall, this stroller is a must. We use it every day, for walking outside (several miles a day) and at the mall, and the beach, etc. If you have been dissatisfied with other strollers, this is the one to get.
Update July 2010: This stroller is still going strong and works as perfectly as it did the day we got it! |

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this stroller, it's not as bulky as most travel system strollers. It's light and easy to manuver - more like an umbrella stroller, but with more features! It's suprisingly small. The colors are so much better then the picture shows. If fact when my sister saw it, after we got it - she said "the pictures don't do it justice"
It was easy to assemble. It took me about 30 minutes, and my husband wasn't around. I love this stroller and the matching infant car seat. |
Great Lightweight Stroller with Essential Features

| I used a Graco Quattro stroller with my first child, but I got so tired of hefting that 30 pound monster into the trunk everytime I needed it. Plus, it took up the whole trunk of my mid-sized sedan. The Metrolite stroller is wonderful! It has all the necessary features that I liked on the Quattro (cup holders, large basket, holds snug ride carseat, child tray, full recline, large canopy, 1-handed steering), but it is 10 pounds lighter. Plus, the adjustable handle is great for people of different heights and it makes the stroller take up less room in the trunk, so I don't have to remove it when I go grocery shopping. I love this stroller! |
Great for Grandma's stroller

My daughter has one of the Graco Travel Systems for the baby, but I wanted my own stroller for when I take her shopping or for a walk around the neighborhood to lull her to sleep. At the time of purchase we needed the 5 point harness system as the baby could not sit up by herself. I shopped around extensively, and was pleased to find this one on a really good sale at Amazon--possibly a closeout color. I liked the neutral color as my daughter is planning to have one more baby and this one is gender neutral.
The stroller is great--it does roll nicely, was a cinch to assemble (well, with Daddy helping with the wheel assembly) and it does indeed fold with one hand and and stand alone. It's a little smaller than the travel system stroller, and I do miss some of the storage functions of the bigger stroller. However, for the price and ease of use, this one is great. I have no complaints about the quality or durability and as always, enjoyed my transaction with Amazon. It also arrived earlier than I expected with no shipping problems. |
Wonderful!

| This stroller is awesome and my favorite part- you can convert in to a travel system! It has the latches to attach your car-seat like the expensive travel systems you can buy. The best part is that any car seat that can attach to a base will work, we have a britax car seat and all you do is set it on top of the stroller and turn the latches to secure it! Amazing :) |
