Comment:
I use this stroller every day on short trips. Although the storage basket below is small, it is adequate for daily use. I like that this stroller collapses and is very sturdy and can handle an older child, therefore making it a bit heavy, but managable. It opens up easily and quickly and latches securely. Steering with one hand is impossible, even in a straight line. The front wheels, when not locked in place, spin in all directions on industrial flooring (such as those used in grocery stores) making steering very difficult. If the wheels are locked, they do not roll but drag along the industrial flooring. If the seat is in a reclined position, the seat back prevents the stroller from collapsing completely - the seat must be pushed upright. The seat does not reach a completely upright position which is problematic for older kids. For infants, the stroller canopy does not provide good sun protection. I've tried to use this stroller for longer walks but since the back wheels are so close together, I kick the back frame of the stroller. This can be avoided by extending one's arms full length and leaning forward but this is very awkward.

Comment:
Stunning looks and great compactability. Basket does carry a lot of items as does the handles. As my son got heavier (he is now 22 lbs at 16mths) the stroller became harder to steer with one hand. We took this to St. Maarten in January when my son was 7mths old...it did not offer great coverage from the sun. A little expensive for what it offers but we do use it quite often now because of its smaller size.
