Perfect size, perfect price
I have been looking for a while for just this stroller. I was looking for something to put in the back of the car for mall and short grocery shopping. Also I didn't want it to look cheap, it needed a sun shade and needed to fit my skinny one year old. And something under $40. Finally, this fits the bill.
The stroller was tightly packaged and all the end parts were covered with foam. The 4 sets of wheels were easy to pop on, though I probably should have turned the lights on to see the direction arrow because I ended up putting the first one on upside down. No problem, though, it was easy to follow their instructions to push a button and pop it off. It took me 10 minutes to put together with a toddler crawling all over me and it, which I categorize as a success.
Cons: the back is not breathable, so summers might be a little rough with back-sweat. Also, it claims to have recline, and although it does, it probably only reclines about 2 inches at best. I would not get this for that feature, it's pretty lame actually.
I got it in all black because I didn't want it to look dirty after a while. The stroller is good for up to 50 pounds, though honestly if my child still wants to be in a stroller when he's 7, we've got issues.
Backrest way too short!
The backrest on this stroller was too short for my 2 1/2 year old, and he is only 35 pounds and about 37 inches tall.
His head was hanging out of the top of the backrest with no support.
What is the point of the stroller supporting up to 50 pounds if the backrest can't even support a 2 yr old child 37 inches tall?
I don't understand how they can overlook something like this.
If it were not for the short backrest, I would of been very happy with this stroller.. but unfortunately it will be going back.
I may try the First Years "Ignite" stroller, as I called and they said the backrest is taller on that model.
Wobbly wheels
I bought this for my nephew for when we go to the park. It was perfect except once we got to the park I started walking with him in it and the front wheels would wobble really bad about every 5 feet. It was so bad and so annoying I didnt even make it one lap around the park. I don't see any other reviews about this issue so I would hope that this isn't how all of them are, but when I took it back to the store and checked the display one it also did it. I returned it and bought a cosco one for $15 more and it's perfect, no wobbling wheels and is just made alot better. For me, it was well worth the extra few bucks!
