You get what you pay for?

We bought this because our previous and more expensive stroller's closing mechanism stopped functioning, and since we aren't having anymore kids didn't want to spend a lot. We like the padded handles, that it has a decent cargo holder below and storage by the handlebars(the zipper pouch up top is big enough for a wallet, cell phone, keys and more). The cup holders are wide but not all that deep, so anything taller than the standard size disposable water bottle might fall out. Now for the bad news. If you've looked at other customer photos, you may have noticed that the visor wasn't very big. Well I'll tell you it's basically pointless. You WILL have to rely on a hat or sunglasses to keep your kid from squinting. I was hoping that you could angle it but you cannot, or that I could lay an additional blanket over the top but it'd drop down right in my 2yr olds face. It does have velcro straps to keep it from falling forward if your kid grabs at it. It comes off super easy. As for closing, their are 2 metal arms in the back that come down and lock together which isn't so hard to do with one foot if you're holding your kid, but you're going to need two hands to close. Their is a plastic piece that snaps the two folded sections for storage which I appreciate, but the design makes it difficult to snap over the cloth on the stroller arm. I would've preferred either a velcro or snap style strap. The foot rest fyi is a flexible plastic so hopefully it holds up. Last, the plastic safety connectors from on the child's straps come undone easily while you're trying to get them in. Not a big deal because everything will come together and secure them, but it is annoying.

Pros
  • Height-adjustable handlebar accommodates parents of different heights
Cons
  • The stroller may not be suitable for use on uneven or rough surfaces
