Comment:

We chose this stroller because it is light weight and easy to maneuver. We live in a walk up building in the city, so we are carrying it up and down stairs along with our 15-month old son at least once per day. After almost a year of use, it has served us well. It is comfortable for our son and convenient for strolling the neighborhood, parks, museums, and zoo. We have taken it to the aiport several times and it folds up nicely when boarding the plane.<br /><br />The only cons are that you have to stroll with both hands at all times, which is really safer any way. Also, it has gotten a little creaky now from being stowed on planes and lugged up and down stairs so much. I would defintely recommend this stroller though for someone transitiong from a snap n go, which is what we had previously.

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
