After owning it for two weeks, and navigating it through several airports, I am very happy with this stroller. I did a lot of research before purchasing it. I wanted a stroller that was smaller and easier to manage than the (used) Graco LiteRider that I had been using, but still a little more than just a standard umbrella stroller. This stroller fit the bill. (I've been using this stroller with my 10 month old who is 22 lbs and 28 inches).
PROS:
*Rolls very smoothly
*Navigates and turns very easily. I can easily push it with only one hand (when necessary) on indoor surfaces and sidewalks. Sorry, haven't tried it outdoors yet, other than sidewalks, so I can't comment there.
*Light enough to lift and move one-handed without difficulty.
*TRUE one-handed fold. You really CAN fold it, then lift it, with only one hand, and it is very easy and natural after just a little "practice"
*Reclines. Not to a fully horizontal position, but to a do-able napping position for my 10 month old.
*Relatively substantial (for a stroller this size/weight) basket underneath (I put a mid-size diaper bag and my purse in it).
*Trays for parent and child.
*Stands upright on its own after folding
*Nice sun canopy with "window"
CONS:
*It lacks any sort of "locking mechanism" to keep it from opening from the folded position. BUT NOTE: I don't see this being a problem in most daily use situations. Generally I probably would not even want to "lock" it, because, not being locked, it is very easy to open one handed. It does not come open in the car, and it stands upright on its own if you set it on a flat surface (at home, etc.). However, I was worried about it on airplanes. My solution: Zip Ties. ALSO NOTE: Oddly, the picture of the stoller on this site, as well as the product box, shows a red piece on the side that one would think is a locking mechanism, however, it did not exist on the product in any of the boxes at the retailer I purchased mine from. I haven't gotten answers from the manufacturer yet.
*The childs cup holder is not big enough for most standard sippy cups. However, at this price, I can live with that. It is GREAT for cereal o's.
*It would be nice if it would recline a little bit further, and I don't really see why they can't arrange that. But, as I said, it is a do-able napping position, so at this price... give and take.
Neutral:
*The stroller is very comfortable for me to push. I am 5'4". It is probably fine for most, but I can imagine that if you are quite tall, it might be a little short.
*I read several reviews complaining about the "slippery" fabric. I guess it is a little bit slick, but for me and my 10-month old, this has not caused any problems or issues. Just make sure your child is buckled.
*The "cargo bags" seems kind of silly and useless to me. They are small and flimsy, and I just took them off to simplify. But who knows, maybe you would find a use for them. Maybe I will, too, someday. Maybe.
*I think the fabric colors are a bit darker than they appear in the picture. The main color is a darker slightly greenish khaki. I, personally, like the look of it. It is very neutral (and gender neutral as well).
