5.0 out of 5 stars I agree, it is the best for the price. January 1, 2010

After owning it for two weeks, and navigating it through several airports, I am very happy with this stroller. I did a lot of research before purchasing it. I wanted a stroller that was smaller and easier to manage than the (used) Graco LiteRider that I had been using, but still a little more than just a standard umbrella stroller. This stroller fit the bill. (I've been using this stroller with my 10 month old who is 22 lbs and 28 inches).
PROS:
*Rolls very smoothly
*Navigates and turns very easily. I can easily push it with only one hand (when necessary) on indoor surfaces and sidewalks. Sorry, haven't tried it outdoors yet, other than sidewalks, so I can't comment there.
*Light enough to lift and move one-handed without difficulty.
*TRUE one-handed fold. You really CAN fold it, then lift it, with only one hand, and it is very easy and natural after just a little "practice"
*Reclines. Not to a fully horizontal position, but to a do-able napping position for my 10 month old.
*Relatively substantial (for a stroller this size/weight) basket underneath (I put a mid-size diaper bag and my purse in it).
*Trays for parent and child.
*Stands upright on its own after folding
*Nice sun canopy with "window"
CONS:
*It lacks any sort of "locking mechanism" to keep it from opening from the folded position. BUT NOTE: I don't see this being a problem in most daily use situations. Generally I probably would not even want to "lock" it, because, not being locked, it is very easy to open one handed. It does not come open in the car, and it stands upright on its own if you set it on a flat surface (at home, etc.). However, I was worried about it on airplanes. My solution: Zip Ties. Read more ›
