[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In the words of my husband, “this stroller is sturdy AF!” And he's right. Although It is large for our tiny NYC apartment, it features an easy-to-use standing fold, which helps with space concerns. It definitely seems very safe and offers a smooth ride for your baby/toddler/child. The seat has quite a bit of height to it, and my 18-month-old seemed quite comfortable. Added bonus, it was a lot lighter than I expected too! It has a great turning radius and is easy to maneuver. The one handle bar across means you can roll with one hand if necessary.
It also has several bells and whistles. I'll start at the top of the stroller and work my way down:
1. Large canopy. Although it's winter now, it would definitely keep my kiddo protected from the summer sun. The canopy features a peek-a-boo window, which is nice, however, there is no way to keep the window open. No Velcro, no magnet, nothing, which I find slightly weird. Also, the window itself is mesh, so no peeking in inclement weather.
2.. Child tray AND parent tray. I love that this comes with a tray for both of us! What's really awesome, though, is that you do not have to completely remove the child tray to get the kid into the stroller. Instead, you can swing it open to put the kid in, and then swing it closed again. Additionally, it folds even with both tray attached.
3. The seat. Oh, the seat. How I love the seat! It reclines to nearly 180 degrees and anywhere in between. It's also nicely padded. My kid would definitely be able to nap really well in there which is a dream for on-the-go city dwellers.
4. Dual facing seat. This stroller allows you to have the child facing toward you, or away toward the world. My child much prefers facing out, so that's how you see it arranged in the photos. However, this is a great feature for a kid who might want to be able to keep their eye on the parent.
5. Large storage basket. The seat sits well above the basket for good height. The walls of the storage basket are minimal, so you must pack it wisely to avoid things falling out. And of course, you cannot fold it with items in the storage basket (as with any stroller).
I did not have the opportunity to test the carseat, as my child is too big for it and we do not own a car. However, it did snap in and snap out of the stroller easily and features the latch system for installation which is pretty easy (and secure!) once you've done it once. The carseat seems sturdy and comfortable and would've worked great for us when our kid was a newborn.
Overall this is a great travel system! I would highly recommend this for those who are expecting or parents of a newborn since it is sturdy, seems like it will be standing for years, and has room to grow with the child.
I'd like to thank the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this stroller/carseat travel system to try! I hope this helps anyone who hunkering down to purchase a travel system for their little one(s).
