This stroller is nice.however in the less than 2 years we've owned it.it has not stayed as sturdy as older models that I have had. I have 3 kids and this is my last one.she isn't ruff and tough either.
I checked to make sure I had put it on correctly and I had. I needed a lightweight stroller that was easy to load and unload and it appeard from all aspects to be just that. This happens all the time and so I never use the stroller. And it was cute too. A week after I got this stroller, we were at the beach on the vacation that I purchased this stroller for, when the front wheel fell off. I was very disappointed, I should have followed up and had them replace it but I hate sending things back and had already thrown away all my information and packaging. Bummed.
I like the cargo bags, they can fit diapers, wipes, keys or other small stuff. The frame is sturdy. The reclining part is not that impressive, it only reclines a couple inches. The seat is a little short and therefore my child tends to slide forward. I bought this at a local Walmart for around $45. I think the 3 point harness is fine because the front part comes up really high on smaller babies and once the kid is older you don't have to worry so much about them falling forward unexpectedly. It folds and unfolds fairly easily. It rolls smoothly and turns easily.
It forms such a big, high arc, that I couldn't see it really being usefull, but it appears to work fine. Most cheap umbrella strollers have no storage so this is better than nothing. It is better than your average umbrella stroller. The sun shade at first seemed a little oddly designed. I like that idea better than a basket under the stroller as those are hard to get your items in and out. It is tall enough for me to push without leaning forward (5'6"). It folds and unfolds easily and stays on when you fold and unfold the stroller. They might lean forward more easily in this harness as a toddler, but still, the three point harness should keep them in the seat.
After some badgering, they offered to send me a new seat. I, of course, was not so fine and promptly called Kolcraft upon returning home.
It was a decent stroller for the price. However, this past week, my son, now 18 months, was sitting in the stroller when the seat fabric ripped.
I purchased this stroller about 6 months ago for my then 12 month old son. Thankfully he is fine, minus a cut on his ear.
The rip was down the side of the seat causing my son to fall backwards and into the hole in the fabric where his head became lodged. I had to literally cut the rest of the seat off in order to get his head out of it.
They were non-apologetic and could have cared less about my son's safety. No thanks, I'll find a new stroller.
Now, only a few months later my daughter looks very uncomfortable sitting in it.and forget reclining her in it. This stroller is certainly light and looks exactly as pictured. I now have to buy another stroller so unless you only want something to use while your child is quite small; trust me and go with another stroller. It does not feel that sturdy but seemed okay. Most notably, I too was very surprised by how narrow it looked once I recieved it. Oh, and by the way since I know some will assume children that do not fit are large - my daughter is somewhat tall and quite slender. Go ahead, look at the dimensions (I wish I had) this stroller is 17.5 inches wide and most others are 19.5
