This is a fabulously cheap convenience stroller that I don't kick!!!
I have a 2 year old boy and a 4 year old girl. I've gone through 5 other strollers, including a Peg and a Combi. I chose to purchase this one to have a convenient, truly lightweight stroller with a 5 point harness. If it's not 5 point, it simply doesn't do its job in restraining my busy children.
I just received this stroller after ordering twice and having it delayed in shipment. I was a little concerned to order as it isn't available in stores and there are no reviews since it is brand new. But I am pleasantly surprised. First off the only assembly is snapping on the 4 wheels and snapping the sun shade into place which takes all of 5 minutes.
It is tall enough for me to comfortably push around without having to awkwardly bend forward to avoid kicking the wheels, and no stooping as the handles fit me well (I'm 5'7"). Yay!! The wheels are foam with a little give, but not as cushy as air. I doubt this stroller will work for off road, but will do fine on pavement.
I took my 4 year old for a test stroll and she is 39 pounds and 43 inches tall. She comfortably fit in it with the harness on the middle position so there is some room for her to grow. It rolls relatively smoothly though the recline doesn't recline that far back; I'm okay with that since my kids never sleep on the go. It has a parent console that includes a zippered pouch and cup holder. I stuck a water bottle in it just fine, but it may not be suitable for a Big Gulp. There are also 2 small mesh pouches on either side of the seat, presumably for things like pacis and sippy cups. There is also a small storage space under the seat, and I think it can fit a SMALL diaper bag or a few coats and books.
I chose this stroller over the First Years Jet stroller for $40 simply because I could get it in stock faster. I also like the khaki color because we live in San Antonio where it is ridiculously hot and sunny. The sun canopy is adequate though not giant.
The stroller appears well built. Even if it falls apart in one year, I'd just buy another since it's so stinkin' cheap. Thanks First Years for finally creating an inexpensive but comfortable umbrella stroller. I love it!
I'm Sure I Made the Right Choice!
I did a lot of reading and searching for just the right stroller now that we are out of the "baby" phase.
My checklist included: must recline, have 5 point harness (I have a daredevil who has not yet met a 3 point harness he can't defeat), parent tray, work for BOTH my boys (a 3 yr old and a nearly 1 yr old) and have a basket.
Pros:
My biggest PRO is that it goes up to 50 lbs. My 3 yr old is 35lbs, which is the weight limit on most lightweight strollers.
Reclines just enough to allow sleeping without the head bob.
5 point harness keeps my younger son in the seat!
Has several height adjustments for the harness.
Good size sun shade.
Has a foot rest.
Parent tray!
Very lightweight.
Basket holds just enough, without being too large or too small (I hang my diaper bag over the handles).
The material (at least up where the parent tray is) is liquid resistant--water beaded up when I spilled.
The little pouches on the side hold a sippy, or snack cup with ease. Also holds toys well. :)
Cons:
My boys have really long torso's and my 3 yr old's head is almost at the top. This isn't a huge deal to me though, and doesn't outweigh the pros. Next year, he probably won't be able to sit in it with the sun shade over him and he probably won't be able to lay back in it anymore, but by then, he won't need to. :)
I would (and have) recommended this stroller to friends.
An inexpensive stroller for tall parents!
I recently bought this stroller from Amazon, hoping the product specifications were correct that the handles were taller, and a full stride was possible. I'm 5'11 and most strollers feel like they are built for children, in my opinion, and this stroller is awesome! My son seems to like it (20 months, 30lbs), the stroller goes to 50lbs. It folds easily, the price is right, and the shade canopy is a nice size. I highly recommend this product!
