Author's Review
I've had umpteen strollers because I keep searching for THE ONE that will have all the features that I think are important in a stroller. (Incidentally, I found it, Kolcraft Ranger they recalled a few years ago, if you have one, I want it! LOL) This one's most outstanding feature is that you really can steer it with one hand. I wouldn't recommend trying to steer through a maze or anything, but if you only have one hand to use at Walmart or while trying to walk your baby, a 6-year-old and a large dog, it does the trick very well. Folds up easily, though I much prefer the ones that stand alone when they're folded. It doesn't fold down very compactly, but since it fits in the trunk of my tiny Honda Civic, it'll fit most anything else, I'm sure. It only has a 3-point harness, which is a bummer if your kid, like mine, turns out to be a jail-breaker. My main thought to Evenflo: come out with a stroller that doesn't require us to remove the snack tray to put on the car seat. Cuz, we're new parents, and inevitably we WILL lost the snack tray and then when our kids our old enough to use it, we will have to buy a new one from you...Oh now I see why they keep doing it that way! LOL
I had to stop using mine (made in 2002) last week because the wheel broke off. It didn't fall off, as I can't put it back on. It broke off. The plastic completely cracked and the wheel went perpendicular to the stroller like from ! to _ .
The basket slides out for additional storage space, but this feature seems somewhat bogus since mine never stayed 'in'. So I figure they might as well have just made the basket that size to start with.
Stroller has very nice shocks, which is good since it doesn't go over bumps very well.
