Nice Stroller for Reasonable Price
by amanda , 2010-08-25

This stroller is great for walking or jogging. The front wheel can lock or swivel. It also comes with a cup holder tray for parents to use. Not too heavy. The wheels are like bike wheels so are very durable.

Awesome Stroller
by krogden , 2010-07-09

This stroller is amazing! First of all the price is right. I have had this stroller for a year and use it everyday. Recently I've been jogging four miles every other day and it works great. The tray in front of my baby is perfect for little snacks while we are out and about. My husband loves that the handle is adjustable since he is taller. I also love that I am able to unlock the front wheel. It turns very well when I take it to the mall or where ever we go. This is the only stroller that we have. This one does it all and we didn't feel the need to buy another one. One down side is that the stroller is a little big and takes up most of the space in our trunk. I would buy this stroller again.

Front wheel needs to be tightened
by C. Serrano from Hawaii, 2010-06-18

I received this stroller a few weeks ago and I noticed the front wheel was wobbly (as other reviewers have mentioned) and it was not possible to jog with it. I called amazon and was about to return it when I came across another review about taking the foot plate off and tightening the screw/bolt with a wrench (I had my dad do it for me so I'm not sure if it's a screw that he tightened) and it works perfectly now. We've gone out for walks twice since it was tightened and no sign of a wobbly wheel anymore. This is a great stroller. It's not too heavy, it has lots of room for my 13 month-old, parent tray, child tray (very important so baby can snack during walks), and it folds easily. I like how easy it is to pull the stroller into a reclining position, but it does take two hands to put it back up again. I've owned a baby jogger city mini because of the way it looked, but my son didn't like it as it was too reclined and he could not sit upright. This stroller is almost $100 less than the baby jogger and 1,000 times better. Another plus is that it comes with all the accessories (parent tray, child tray, etc) and the baby jogger accessories need to be purchased separately. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.

Absolutely LOVE this stroller

I got this stroller with my first son and used it all.the.time on the road, trails, etc. It is very easy to pack up and put in the car. It fits great in my Jetta and with tons of storage left. The back wheels easily come off as does the tray. I love this stroller, sad to upgrade to a double jogging but will be keeping this one.

a couple annoyances
by M. Ballard from North Dakota, 2010-05-23

overall this is a great stroller, it rides smooth and fit my 4 month old great with the adjustable 5 point harness and head support insert. The seat back is adjustable which is nice so they sit upright or lay back. It also came with an infant carseat adapter and bug sheild. My only disappointments are that when the front wheel is in the unlocked position, the whole stroller wobbles horribly, it has to be locked when using outdoors at all times. I did use it in mall once with it unlocked (to aide in manuvering in tight spaces) however there was still a very notable "sway" on the smooth surface. The other disappointment is that it has a tendency veer off to the left making jogging with it a real challenge--but for the most part I believe it does this because the front wheel needs to be locked to avoid the wobbling. the parent tray is awesome--many compartments. There are also 2 other storage bins that offer plenty of space for just about anything. I can fit my winter jacket and diaper bag in the bin underneath the seat. Lastly, the sun canopy is not nearly big enough to actually shade the sun, however, I have read that you can use a Kiddopomantus sun shade and it attaches nicely for extended coverage.
