Worth every penny and then some
I purchased this stroller in green from a different site and I could not be happier with my purchase. Strangers come up to me all the time and ask me about it. It is super easy to use and it transitions from carseat to stroller smoothly and quietly so you don't wake your baby up. There are however a few cons:
1. When it is in carseat mode it is extremely HEAVY (it’s around 15lbs by itself while a standard baby carrier is about 2lbs) although you'll probably be like me and never use it as a baby carrier.
2. It is very wide in carseat mode, so if some jerk parked too close to you it will be a real struggle to get inside.
3. It has no storage and don't even think about putting a heavy diaper bag or shopping bag on the handle bar, it will tip over pretty easily. I purchased the essentials bag from doona, it is a bag designed to clip on to the handle bar and it works great, but you still have to keep the weight thing in mind.
The fact that it's so convenient really outweighs these cons for me. I live in Seattle where it rains every day and being able to get my daughter in and out of the car fast without getting myself soaking wet is so worth it. I also love how small it is, I don't take up the entire elevator or waiting room at the doctors office. If I have another baby I'm definitely buying this again. I'll be really sad when she gets too big for it.
UPDATE
My daughter is a few days away from her first birthday and we are still using this and love it just as much as when she was a little baby. My biggest concern before I bought this was that she would get too big for it before I got my $500 worth of use out of it. Thankfully that has not been the case. At 22lbs she’s not small either. We have not purchased a different stroller or car seat, we used this one the entire time. There have been no problems with it over the past year. I fully expect to be able to use this until she turns 2 and is ready for a forward facing seat. I hope this helps any of you parents out there who are concerned that you won’t get enough use out of it to justify paying that much. After a year of use I still highly recommend this product.
