Great stroller for general and extended use
January 16, 2016
I took "paternal initiative", and bought this purely on the strength of its good reviews in Outdoor magazine, and had it shipped to the UK (wasn't available over here back in 2012).
First the negative: It's big and it's heavy. It only fits in the trunk of our car (VW Golf - (Lupo?)) if you remove a wheel (easy); you don't want to have to take it on public transport due to its size, and you don't want to actually carry it at all!
Then the positive: it's extremely easy to push. The big wheels, long base and rigid frame make for effortless walks. You can push with one hand only. You don't notice curbs, cobble-stones, or potholes. Of course there is terrain where a back-carrier is more appropriate, but to that point, this has to be one of the best strollers there is!
As well as a daily 8k nursery round-trip for the past two years, we've used it in the Alps and Dolomites, and taken it around Venice - a city of numerous stepped-bridges.
If you want a stroller for very light-use (shopping malls, between other modes of transport) then this probably isn't the one for you. If you want to use the stroller for longer periods or distances, then the Revolution SE is definitely worth considering!
We have several accessories for this - the additional storm-cover, back cup-holder and airline case. These are perhaps overpriced, and the quality is less good (cup-holder stitching came apart under no use, airline case stitching starting to split after some use).
