otumuli2009 says "easy, fast and going" about Peg Perego Venezia MT Stroller Carriage

otumuli2009 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:58:21 GMT

I bought this stoller for my son a couple of weeks ago to replace his infact stroller which is way too big and its a hassle to store and put away when you try to get in the car. This stroller when i bought it i carelessly threw the box away along with the instructions, when we tried to fold the stoller so we can put it in the car, we couldn't. Imagine five adults trying to fold a baby's stoller at the parking lot at the mall around 7:30 in the evening and it was so funny because we had to force the stoller without folding it in the trunk of my intrepid. As we got up the next morning i was trying to find out information of how to fold this stoller, i tried calling toys are us and it didnt give me any help at all. I jumped online and they have installing ebooks for each type of stroller peg perego ever made which was awesome. Because i like the stroller so much i didnt think of getting another one instead i have to find a way to fold. Its easy to operate and easy to fold. For new moms, get...

barbie2 says "Worst stroller don't waste your money" about Peg Perego Aria Single Stroller 2006 Rubino

barbie2 — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:21:47 GMT

This stroller should be recalled. What a horrible design on a stroller, one would think you would make a stroller that a kid is going to sit in, move around and sleep in durable. But this is not. When you try to move the seat up and down to adjust if the child is sitting or sleeping the string you have to pull is the hardest thing to pull. And if your child is sleeping then good luck trying to hold yor child up in order to pull the string to adjust.

Please do not waste your money on this stroller, it is not easy to adjust and my daughter got very aggrivated everytime I would try to get her to lie down in it. To open and close this stroller is not easy either. This is not ideal for parents that want a easy stroller.

I have other Peg Pregos and they are made a lot better, I wonder why on earth they thought of making this model and though it would succed.

I would not reccomend this strollers to others. Especially the ARIA model.

pchef3 says "The Bob Revolution stroller is the best!!!" about BOB Trailer Revolution Jogger Stroller

pchef3 — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:12:22 GMT

My sisters and mom went together and bought the Bob Revolution Jogging Stroller for me as a baby shower gift. I honestly can say that it is the absolute best stroller that I have ever seen and used! I am not a runner, but I love the swivel wheel on the front which makes it so easy to turn corners, etc. while walking. This stroller is a bit bulkier that some of the other brands out there, but it makes up for that fact in its ease of use! I can fold it up in one step, and setting it up is just as easy! I have had people seeing me use this at the mall and stop to ask what kind of stroller it is because they are interested in getting one! You do have to go to their online website to see exactly which brands/styles of car seats will fit on the top of it for an infant, but there are many that will and I was able to use my Graco infant seat without any problems. This stroller also has plenty of room for storing toys, books, bottles, etc. so that you can be hands-free. I would HIGHLY...

lindsayrocksosu says "I strongly recommend the Chicco Cortina Stroller" about Chicco Cortina Stroller

lindsayrocksosu — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:48:11 GMT

I am a mom who is on a budget and we were lucky enough to get this stroller as a gift. If we had not and I had known how great it was then I would have made this my splurge for the baby. It comes as a travel system or by itself and fits the Keyfit 30 carseat. You can remove the carseat from the base or just the car with seatbelt and put it in the stroller rear facing so the baby is facing you and once you hear it click it is snapped in. There is a laying position which is the same position as the car seat and several sitting positions and easily goes between all of them, so when baby falls asleep sitting up, you can easily lower baby to laying flat. It has a visor or hood that moves so you can shield the baby from the sun, from other people, wind, whatever. I can put down and fold it up with one hand and a foot. We have a big diaper bag and it, along with a few shopping bags fit in the bottom basket area if it is in sitting position. It still holds a diaper bag in the laying...

nshelton21 says "Keeps my kids contained!" about Graco Graco Duoglider LX Stroller - Brentwood

nshelton21 — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:05:27 GMT

My mother in law bought me this and I LOVE this stroller. I couldn't even survive without it. This one is by far the easiest double to steer, and the most lightweight. I've had this, (same model, not print), for 1/2 year . It looks great and is still in excellent condition. I love that it matches my carseat perfectly. The colors are neutral too, so you could use it for a boy or girl. I never have used the front canopy, it was a little bit in the way. It folds easy when you learn how to fold it down while rolling it-so the wheels are aligned perfectly. I can do it in my sleep. =) The basket is so big I still use it to grocery shop. Everytime I get to the front to check out, the cashier always makes a surprised comment about how much stuff I keep pulling out-it still amazes me.
I give it 5 stars because double stollers are going to be big and cumbersome, but this is by far the best one. LOVE it! Great jog Graco!

austinspookie says "Very nice umbrella stroller" about Evenflo XSport convenience stroller

austinspookie — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:19:03 GMT

I received this umbrella stroller as a shower gift and have used it for 4 months now. My 8 year old son loves riding in it. So far, it has been great. Lightweight, easy to use and almost more sturdy then a typical umbrella stroller. The best part is that it has a large storage basket and a large sun shade-something most umbrella strollers do not offer. I also find that the colors-red or gray-don't scream baby!! We have used it going to the store, walking around town, to the doctor and quick trips. I would, however, not recommend this if you are doing extensive walking or are a tall person. I find that sometimes me feet hit the wheels(I am 5'6") and my husband who is 6'1" thinks the handle bars are too low and always hits the wheels with his feet. Overall we are pleased, but might consider one with adjustable handle bars the next time around. The stoller has held up well and we plan on using it for years to come.

TanaEdge says "This stroller has been a lifesaver!" about Baby Trend Sit N Stand Plus

TanaEdge — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:12:14 GMT

I actually have the Right Start model, which is identical to Baby Trend.

When I got pregnant with my second child, I was stressing out over which double stroller to buy. We already had an Evenflo travel system and the Evenflo double stroller was awful. I found 2 double strollers that our Evenflo infant seat would fit into -- the Sit N Stand and the Kolcraft Contours.

As much as I loved the Kolcraft, it was just too big and heavy to fit into the trunk of my car. I ended up getting the Sit N Stand Plus and love it! It folds to the size of a full-sized single stroller. This model actually has a back seat with 5-point harness that can be removed to make it into a sit-n-stand. It's narrower than our Evenflo Aura stroller, so it fits through doors and tight spaces easily. My biggest complaint is that when the back seat is in use, access to the storage area can be difficult. But overall, we're very happy with this stroller.

Unfortunately, since we got this in 2008, I can't find a...

kalibobabe says "Jeep stroller is one our must-haves." about Jeep Liberty Urban Terrain 3-Wheel Stroller

kalibobabe — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 01:54:08 GMT

This stroller was given to us off of our baby registry. While we have a travel stroller in our car, this is the stroller used for walks from home. It is great on sidewalks, pathways and even across grass in parks. I love the bigger wheels and ease of pushing it. I find it sturdier than jogging strollers. I have used it with a carseat facing backward and forward. I am able to have my son sit upright in his seat or reclining a bit. He is still small to be in the stroller seat but I know he is going to like the steering wheel toy. So far, this stroller has performed wonders, allowing us to take daily walks for several miles. My son falls asleep in it, even when we have to ride over rough sidewalk bumps. We can carry a lot underneath it in the back and front. I am going to be sad when I need a double stroller and can no longer use this one. It folds up easily to go in the trunk but it is larger than I would want for shopping at the mall.

artsyanne says "Uppababy Vista is the stroller of the future! " about Uppa Baby Vista Stroller System

artsyanne — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:04:00 GMT

While the price tag might be daunting ($650+) this stroller is worth every penny! As first-time parents we were overwhelmed by the amount of strollers on the market, but unimpressed by the quality and practicality of most... until we found the Vista! It was love at first sight! Aircraft aluminum, super nice fabrics and very little "plastic crap" make this stroller stand out from the rest! We love the huge basket below and although it is lacking in the cup holder area, they do sell an optional cup holder attachment at a reasonable price. This stroller is built like a tank. We take it out and about and it hops curbs, navigates though the busiest shopping malls and glides smoothly over rough terrain, all without waking-up out little guy. What a smooth ride! It comes with an amazing sun shade (spf 50!) and a rain cover that allowed our little one to go pumpkin picking for the first time and stay cozy warm and dry despite a sudden downpour! We loved the bassinet feature and...

Spacecasegirl says "The Baby Trend stroller is light and easy to steer" about Baby Trend Lightweight Trend Sport Stroller

Spacecasegirl — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 06:48:56 GMT

I have this stroller in black and red. I love that it is so portable we take it everywhere. Love the fact that it has a nice basket on the bottom for items and two cup holders on the top and a removable tray on the bottom. Also what is nice is the cord on the back of the seat adjusts to let the child lay back when they nap or upright to sit up. The only concern is i can't get the red release button to work so i have been folding it from the two releases on the legs near the middle of the stroller.

cmyamamo says "Pricy, but a great stroller!" about Maclaren Volo Silver - Umbrella Stroller

cmyamamo — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:37:58 GMT

I bought the Maclaren Volo off of craigslist to replace my other umbrella stroller. Let me tell you, this is a great stroller. Good storage room, can hold a kid up to 60lbs, lighweight, easy to open and close...this stroller is no joke.

Compared to other umbrella strollers I've used in the past, this one is by far superior. It's easy to turn, and the brakes work well. I'm able to fit my diaper bag in the storage area no problem, and I do not have a small diaper bag. It has a 5 point harness. My daughter is 20 lbs and the harness is a bit large on her, so this would be better for a bigger child. But she'll grow into it and I still feel she is safe in the stroller.

I love how lightweight this is. The last thing I need is a super heavy stroller. The other strollers I used were heavier but somehow flimsier. Odd, but true.

I would recommend this stroller to anyone. Try to find it used as the quality of this sucker is so good that it doesn't matter that you aren't the...

viewmasternumber1 says "It's amazingly smooth." about Stokke Xplory Basic Baby Stroller

viewmasternumber1 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:21:47 GMT

I received the Stokke Xplory when my daughter was four months of age and I used it until she was 3.5 years of age. It's very versatile and the large wheels make it very shock absorbant. Ofttimes my daughter would sleep in it while I worked around the house because if reclined very far back. I thoroughly enjoyed using it and got many stares when I took it out for a stroll because it looked so different from other strollers.

Another great feature is that it can be used on stairs. It seems to be more oriented for life in European countries, which is where it originated. In this country, people frown on the use of stollers on stairs with a child still onboard.

I still have it to this day, and intend to keep it to pass along to my daughter some day. My only comlaint is that it is very bulky, heavy and does not fully collaspe easily. I can't say for certain that it will fit into a small car as I have only taken it for walks around my neighborhood.

caputski says "InSTEP safari jogging stroller is great for the price. " about InSTEP safari - Blue/Chocolate Jogger Stroller

caputski — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:28:40 GMT

I am a first time mom and a new runner and I started out with a regular travel system that made running difficult for me and bumpy for the baby. We are on a tight budget so I wanted to get the biggest bang for my buck. After a lot of research I found the safari. It has a smooth ride for baby, most of the same extras as the more expensive strollers, great customer service from the company, and a front swivel wheel that makes it a dream when I'm working out or when I'm shopping. I bought it online and it came with a free insect net which is a huge plus for me because I don't like slathering up junior with all types of chemicals to keep the mosquitos at bay while running through the park. Unlike the BOB strollers you can't jog with the front wheel in swivel mode (though that isn't recommended by the manufacturer anyway) but other than that I've had no problems or complaints. Great stroller for a fraction of the price of other brands.

joy99 says "The workhorse of strollers!" about Graco Stroller

joy99 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 04:00:52 GMT

This is the work horse of strollers! I purchased the Graco Travel System, which is the infant car seat/stroller combo. We used the car seat for the first year and now that my son is three years old we still use the stroller! It is big and roomy enough for a toddler and he loves having his own cup holder as I love having two cup holders all to myself! It is super easy to unfold, with one hand when you get the hang of it, and folds up fairly small. It is not a small stroller but it isn't too big to fit in a car trunk or navigate through a busy mall. After three years it still looks just as good as when we purchased it. Graco really makes things built to last. It comes in a variety of colors and petterns and I really can't recommend it enought. One of the best things I like about it is the storage basket under the stroller. This is large enough for a diaper bag or purse and multiple packages.

NiftyJ88 says "A great travel stroller w/ some design flaws" about Maclaren Triumph Stroller

NiftyJ88 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 03:32:03 GMT

My husband and I were tired of pushing around our huge travel system stroller for our 3 year old daughter. We decided to look for a comfortable light weight stroller that would be easy to fold up compactly for an upcoming trip. I decided to purchase a model off of ebay - new, in a discontinued pink color - at a greatly reduced price. The stroller is comfortable and has a canopy, which is a feature many umbrella strollers lack, as well as a rain cover. I was able to purchase an organizer for the back of the stroller to hold water bottles and other items that we want to keep handy. The underseat basket is sufficient for smaller items, but you can't pack a whole lot in it. For me, that's okay because if I wanted a huge basket, I would have used the huge stroller. The one design flaw that bothers me is that when it folds, the wheels touch the canopy and it gets dirty. My husband and I both find it easy to push. It doesn't maneuver like a cadillac, but it more that suits its purpose as a compact,...

kenitcher says "Inglezina Zippy- very cool stroller!" about Inglesina Zippy Stroller

kenitcher — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 03:25:24 GMT

We did a lot of research looking for a stroller that would last for a long time. We found a video review of this stroller, and had to have it. It is truly the only stroller with a real one-hand fold- all the other strollers we tried actually needed two hands, or it folded down to the ground- not very clean or sanitary. This stroller folds upright, with only one hand, and rests on the ground on a piece separate from the snack tray- that never hits the ground. Ours is black, and we bought a Graco Safe Seat in silver to fit on top. It looks great, steers very well. We take this stroller to the mall, and for neigborhood walks. We wouldn't bring this stroller off-road, as the wheels are not very big. The shock system is great, though, for pavement. The canopy is great, very large, it can go all the way down to the footrest to cover the baby entirely in bad weather or full sun. They sell a raincover separartely, but with thsi canopy you don't need it. It advertises as 17...

stanleybaby says "Love, love, love!" about BOB Trailer Sport Utility Stroller

stanleybaby — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:05:59 GMT

WE LOVE THIS STROLLER!! The Bob strollers are durable, and so comfortable for both parent and child! This stroller is the one baby item that I could not live without! Suspention is awesome. Be sure to buy the infant car seat adapter & the handlebar console. Trust me, this stroller is NOT just for jogging. I love it when shopping in the mall, taking my child to the park, or when rushing through the airport! My daughter loves riding in it - she is able to see and be involved in everything around her, and we feel great because she is safe & easy to handle. The harness system is great, folding capabilities are great (it folds in half). Not too heavy, but a little bulky to handle. The stroller is a bit pricey, but it is well worth it!!

Additional Note: We have the Revolution w/ the front tire that can swivel or lock, which makes taking the stroller for a jog or around the tight aisles in Walmart perfect.

polkadotstripes says "Best Umbrella Stroller" about Maclaren Volo Silver - Umbrella Stroller

polkadotstripes — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:29:32 GMT

Wow, what a difference it made when I first bought the Maclaren Volo. I had been searching for a lighweight umbrella stroller for awhile after my old stroller got too old to use. I was hesitant to pay so much for "just an umbrella stroller", but when I gave it a test drive, it rode so much smoother than my old Graco umbrella stroller. My wrists were not sore anymore. I could turn corners and maneuver through malls with great ease. I was in stroller heaven. The Maclaren Volo is extremely lightweight made out of alloy aluminum and engineered well. It took me awhile to figure out how to fold it down, but when you do, it is very compact-very good quality for overstuffed trunks and minivans! The Maclaren Volo served me well when I had to travel via airplane and had to take my child on and off through different check points. It also has a generous umbrella which protects against UV rays and the elements. The fabric is actually made of material made to protect against harmful...

piu911 says "Graco LiteRider Stroller in Tango in the Tongo" about Graco Graco LiteRider Stroller in Tango in the Tongo

piu911 — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 17:50:05 GMT

I was looking for a lightweight foldable stroller with good storage, a decent sunshade, and child tray that could double as a high chair.
This stroller has all of that and handles very well. However, it has some design problems that could be improved upon: 1) the way
it folds up, the child tray bangs on the ground quite forcefully. It can get dirty and seems destined to break, but it's made of flexible plastic
so maybe it can take that kind of stress 2) the padded metal bar
on the seat back is very low--my 14 month old's head already hits it,
although she sits up and doesn't touch the back usually. I was hoping
to use the stroller until she is 3 and I don't know if that's going to work.
3) one of the cupholders on the parent tray is so shallow that water bottles
can fall out. The other one is OK.

handles well for light stroller but needs improvement

After doing a lot of research to find an affordable, lightweight stroller with the "perks" of a bigger stroller, we bought this stroller and are very...

tiffyr0se says "Love that my baby can face me or face out" about Kolcraft Contours Options 3 Wheeler Jogger Stroller

tiffyr0se — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:39:21 GMT

I absolutely love this stroller! I can easily change the direction my son faces in less than 30 seconds. I don't even have to take him out of the seat to adjust it! This is handy because my son likes to see me when he's tired. I bought this stroller because my son would not let me out of his sight when he was an infant. Now that he is older, he does like to face out when he is awake and happy, but I can easily flip him as he starts to get tired or cranky. It is also easy to recline.

It has a large, easily accessible basket. A 24 case of soda would easily fit underneath.

The cupholder is deep enough to actually be usuable. The other strollers I've used, my drink tends to splash on baby. This is very bad when drinking coffee!

Handles great. I take it everywhere including sidewalks, the mall, and unpaved trails in the park.

The only con is, it is bulky when folded. I drive an SUV so it's not a problem. It does fit easily into my husbands trunk (Mazda Protege)...
