Review on Joovy 8094 Balloon Stroller Yellow by Rob Overturf

I want to love this stroller, I really want to. It's so stylish and fun to watch. But unfortunately, a beautiful appearance is not enough. I have had this stroller for 3 months now and use it 3-4 times a week. Now I feel like I can give a fair opinion. This stroller has some great features. 1. An almost flat back is great. My 7 month old daughter sleeps in it and when she's awake she loves to lay down and put her feet on the tummy support. However when she is sitting upright she leans forward and it looks to me like she could fall out of the stroller (although she has never fallen out and is buckled up so I don't think that will be the case, it just looks like this). sometimes). 2. The canopy is wonderful. Gigantic! Covers every inch of baby's body when needed. 3. The ambidextrous grip is actually very good, but you kick in the back when walking and it's incredibly hard to turn and steer. Despite these difficulties, I endured because I really enjoyed seeing my child's face while walking. We no longer use the stroller in parent-facing mode because she's older and likes to look more, but I really liked that feature when I used it. Now for the bad - and that's a really big blow for this stroller - it's almost impossible to handle on any terrain other than an interior floor or a very slick pavement. He even gets stuck at the store's entrance when a strip of metal walks across the floor. Parking lots with gravel or bumps appear bumpy and wobbly. It feels like I'm pushing a stroller, it seems so flimsy and cheap. We recently took her to an outdoor picnic in the park and my husband pushed her outside for the first time and he said it was awful to push (we have three kids and have had several strollers over the years) . He clung to every rock, every hill, every tree root, every ledge on the sidewalk. We then parked the stroller near a tree and carried the child until morning. I suppose it will be a nice water bottle and diaper holder, but what a chore to carry this thing everywhere except indoors. Nevertheless, I use this stroller several times a week in the library, when shopping, in doctor's offices and restaurants. Pretty good for these places. I guess I just need one stroller that's a little more versatile, I can't take two separate strollers everywhere. I'm still deciding what to do with it, keep it for myself or sell it for something else.
