out of 5 stars It could have been the best umbrella stroller ever built, but..., August 19, 2005
 

 
Reviewer: Eddie V. Koo (Seoul, Korea)

The great features:

-Very well designed; I admit it looks really sharp
-Front wheels have shocks (springs) for smooth rides and runs over small bumps (while most strollers get stopped and nearly tips forward by small obstacles like pebbles and twigs)
-Easily folds up with a kick of your foot
-Taller than normal strollers (great for parents 5'9" & over; no longer have to hunch forward to reach the handles)
-Foam grips feel great on the hands; no sweat or blisters
-Light in weight (considering all the meterials used)
-Very sturdy; Unlike the average "cheap" umbrella stroller where even a 30 lbs child can make the wheels squeak and not roll easily, I think this stroller can roll around a 100 lbs dumbbell without problems.
-The 'roll up' pillow is innovative; no more sweaty backside for the child in the summer
-Maneuvers really well; zig zags through tight spots easily
-Quiet; no rattling wheels. No squeaks (yet, after six months of use)

Everything is just about perfect on this stroller...but,

-Seat is too shallow overall; a toddler a little over three years would look like he's hanging on the seat (like a stretcher) rather than sitting in it.
-It says it can fit a child up to 35 lbs, but my son outgrew it long before that, and he's still not 35 lbs.
-It's overall frame is too narrow; If it were only about 4-5" wider...my son, who is almost four now, has to sit diagonally to fit in there; he can't use it no more.
-Luckily, I have a second child who will grow into using it soon, but I don't like the fact he will grow out of it faster than the average umbrella stroller

This seat issue really puzzles me. This stroller was so close to perfection. It just needed to be a little wider and have deeper, bucket seat to really fit a child up to 35 lbs. Did the manufacturer spend too much time on the other features and forget an actual child will be sitting in it?

out of 5 stars Has so much potential but could be better..., October 20, 2005
 

 
Reviewer: ThreePeas (CA)

This stroller "could" be great. Here are the negs:
I have come to realize I hate the handles (doesn't work for single handed steering), canopy is eh - doesn't shade much at all BUT these two issues aren't deal breakers this IS a $29.00 stroller not a bugaboo. What IS the deal breaker is that as other reviewers have stated this seat is WAY TOO NARROW and not deep enough. Let me make sure you all know exactly how narrow this seat it...My son was a PREEMIE. He's skinny as can be and very very narrow and he is STUFFED into this seat. Well not anymore, I'm getting rid of it. It worked for us for about a month. Yes the wheels are very good but not if my son can't ride in it (my handbag can't even ride in it, it's too shallow). Looks hot (for an umbrella stroller) and sounds good but don't fall for it's sexy style - this is a complete waste.

out of 5 stars Great SPICA stroller, January 11, 2006
 

 
Reviewer: Cynthia Toth (Mentor, Ohio)

Searching for a stroller that would accomodate my son who is in a spica cast was near to impossible. The wonderful (and expensive) travel system no longer works because he is too wide. The seat in this stroller is PERFECT for us. It is deep enough that his butt can fit in, but shallow so that his thighs can hang over and the cast fits! It is a miracle stroller for us and handles amazingly well too. If you know anyone whose child is either in or headed to spicaville recommend this stroller.

out of 5 stars Looks great, but doesn't meet expectations, January 1, 2006
 

 
Reviewer: Elspeth

This seemed a sturdy stroller for the price, and I liked some of the features like the little saddlebags and the roll-up backrest. However, within only a month of very rare use, the footrest (the rubber sling part) broke- and my child didn't even stand on it or anything like that. Also, the sun-hood is very flimsy and needs constantly to be fiddled with when folding the stroller. I plan to purchase an Inglesina Swift, which at $89 has all the features of a Maclaren and the durability I expect when purchasing any juvenile product.

out of 5 stars Pretty good, October 25, 2005
 

 
Reviewer: Sarah Flanagan "surfinsarah" (norfolk, va)

I like this stroller however there are a couple of things that i wish that it had. The good things about it are that the handles are higher up than normal umbrella stroller and are padded. The wheels turn really good and the all weather feature is great. The only problems i have with this stroller are that there are no cupholders. And there is no where to store toys or anything of the sort. Also the rain cover is not very big and therefore if out in the rain the child gets wet. I would recomment this stroller if going out on a sunny day!

out of 5 stars Missed perfect by a nose, October 13, 2005
 

 
Reviewer: Alycia (Tucson, AZ USA)

This stroller is almost perfect, but it's missing a basket underneath which is ok, but I have a 27 lb daughter who is 20 months old & can barely fit in it. She had to ride around in the store with her arms up over her head. The height of the handles were wonderful, no more back pain!! But the seat was too shallow & definately too skinny otherwise if you have a small framed child this would work great!!!
