Light, compact w/ good features, but a few flaws.
October 27, 2018
We have been looking for a reliable, compact and lightweight stroller to replace our pocket stroller. Our requirements were compact size, lightweight, one-handed maneuverability, good sun/elements cover, storage and comfort. The Aero Ultra-Lightweight definitely fulfilled a number of our requirements, but has a few issues.
Pros
- The one-handed fold up is AMAZING and so easy.
- The under stroller storage is roomy and fits everything we need when leaving the house for day and then some.
- The recline is good and our son found it comfortable enough to nap in.
- Folds up small enough to fit near our front door, but not be in a way. Critical as we live in a small, urban apartment.
- Not as lightweight as our previous stroller, but the very few extra pounds are worth it for the additional features and increased storage. That said, it is still very lightweight and we are able to easily carry without issue.
- Canopy has good coverage and protects nicely from the sun.
- The perfect size and weight for using on public transportation.
Started pro but now we will see
- The one-handled maneuvering was great for the first 2 weeks, then the wheel started to stick and it just got worse over time making it almost impossible to push. Problem was even worse with the baby in the stroller. Popping the wheels out and cleaning them seems to have corrected the issue, but only time will tell.
Cons
- The cup holder is basically useless. It rattled around enough that our water bottle actually fell out. Very glad we did not try it out with a hot coffee.
- Fabric on one of the shoulder straps separated from the seams after two and half weeks of use. Will need to replace entirely as there is no way to just fix it.
- The seat itself is pretty narrow, so it takes a bit to get the kiddo situated just right for comfort. Not unmanageable, but sometimes a struggle with a wiggly toddler.
- If you live in an older, urban city its not the best for cobblestone streets or tall curbs.
