Wonderful Stroller!
We bought this to use for power walks around the neighborhood and to take it onto hard-packed hiking trails. It has far exceeded my expectations. We may use it to replace the regular double stroller we keep in the back of the minivan. Also, I don't have the problem with the wobbly front wheel some have complained about (read the tip below). PRO's: - Extremely smooth operation - Kids LOVE to ride in it -- especially when I run over bumps! - Seats seem very comfortable - Seats are adjustable from a slight recline to full recline by adjusting a pull strap (very easy to adjust), so kids can take a nap if needed - Each seat has a mesh side pocket for snacks, etc. - Seat belt harness is easy to clip on and very adjustable - Seat bottoms are tilted back a bit so the child sits comfortably cradled in the seat (unlike many other strollers and bike trailers) - Stroller folds over quickly and easily for storage/transportation - All wheels can be easily removed with quick release - Canopy is fully adjustable to block the sun, even if it's head-on - Canopy has an openable cover to reveal a peek-through sunroof so parents can see the kids while pushing - Assembly took 5 minutes -- easiest assembly I've ever had for an item this size - Front wheel has a metal swivel lock pin (not just a plastic clip) - Plenty of storage under seats and behind seatbacks - Comfortable handle and a safety wrist strap - Two parent cup holders and a storage compartment - Plenty of toe clearance to the rear axle (you won't kick it while power walking) CON's: - Underseat storage has a center divider, so it's two long skinny compartments -- not good for a larger diaper bag - Even when fully upright, the seats are reclined a tiny bit more than I would like -- not bad, but should have been able to go a bit more upright - Safety wrist strap seems a bit short (still need to test it out) - Doesn't have a DVD player... It's a joke! =-) TIP: For those that experience the wobbly front wheel, try this -- There's a nut under the plastic footrest that fastens the front fork onto the frame. Tighten that bolt down a little bit so the front fork has a little resistance in turning -- not too much so it prevents you from turning easily, but just enough so that it doesn't freely swivel. While checking out the stroller at the store, I noticed the front wheel was wobbly, as some other reviewers commented. I bought the stroller anyway because it was still the best one I found. When I pulled the new stroller out of the box, I noticed that the front fork was a bit tighter than the one at the store, but it had no front wheel wobble. From a mechanical perspective, it makes sense that a little resistance in the swivel will prevent wobble. Enjoy!
