Nice stroller but expected more for the price
February 26, 2021
I received this stroller for free from the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review.
Out of the box, this stroller is nice to look at. It has a well designed and crafted leather handle that feels great and expensive while walking with your baby, and looks great too. Likewise, the stroller seat liner is also a nice quality, with convenient cool and hot sides depending on the weather.
Other pros include the snap on cup holder and the ability to alternate between having the child be parent-facing or outward-facing.
Unfortunately, there are some clear Cons for this stroller as well, especially at its price point. First, the wheels of the stroller are plastic as opposed to rubber. In my experience, this not only makes it harder to maneuver the stroller in snowy or icy weather (important where I live), but also leads to noticeable wear and damage to the wheels that simply doesn't happen with higher quality rubber wheels. At the cost this stroller poses, I expect rubber wheels. Second, the stroller is not very intuitive or easy to collapse or open. Instead, opening it from a collapsed position requires you to push in a button and slide it over at the same time, while also using a foot to push on one of the lower brackets to get the stroller to unfold. This is impossible to do with one hand, which would be nice for when holding your child, but even with both hands seems overly complicated and frustrating. Collapsing the stroller is a little easier, but has its own frustrating feature in that it doesn't collapse very flat when the seat is attached. Finally, the sun shade is also difficult to use and get down all of the way. It's not overly smooth either, but it does provide good coverage once you get it in place.
Overall, this is a good stroller that's obviously a higher quality than many of the mainstream options on the market. It rolls smoothly and is comfortable to use once it's set up. The issue I have, however, is with what you get for the cost
