Review on Joovy 8094 Balloon Stroller Yellow by Jane Cuperus

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not worth the price

Not many strollers come in very bright colors so I really wanted to love this one. I bought it in yellow because it was easy to spot in a crowd... and that's the only thing it had for it. At just over $200 after tax, it's VERY cheaply made. The cup holders only broke from being pushed around my trunk and wheels. If these wheels maneuver, I'll pay you to show me. We took him to two festivals, one with a lot of gravel and one with a bunch of drop cords. Both times the stroller got stuck! Most of the time the gravel made the stroller sink and my husband and I had to carry it (with the baby in it) over most of the gravel or we had to find patches of grass to walk on. The retractable cords almost knocked the stroller over when the wheels hit them. The ONLY thing I really liked about this particular stroller was the universal car seat attachment, it was very easy to use and I wish all strollers had this option. I ended up donating that and buying a jogging stroller simply because we do way too much off-road compared to this one.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Speed
