Author's Review
I just recently started pushing my 20 pound 20 month old in this stroller and I couldn't be happier! At first, I thought I would hate the fact that it had 4 fixed wheels, no swivel. I felt that it would be hard to push and turn in malls, stores, etc. . .but to my surprise, I have had a very easy time with it.
I do find myself having to pop up the front two wheels a bit off of the ground to turn, however, with the amount of "bounce" in the handle bar, I have been very pleased with how easy it seems.
The undercarriage basket has been wonderful for storing all of my belongings and shopping bags. I find it larger and roomier than the average stroller's storage basket or bag. Also, it is very easy to access from the front, back, and sides.
This stroller can be used from birth up to 45 pounds. It features a fully reclineable back rest that lies completely flat for even the smallest baby. Also, the footrest is adjustable so that your toddler's feet can hang down, or your babies feet can be straight out in front of them comfortably.
Optional accessories include: the cold weather footmuff which once installed makes the stroller look very "pramy". Additionally, you can purchase the carry cot which is the newborn "bed" that is suitable up to appx. 3-5 months depending on the size of your child and the rain cover. For a very cute look, I reccomend also purchasing the parasol. This will help shield your little one from the sun as it has an adjustable arm, but will also look oh so cute on your walks through the park!
One of my favorite features of this stroller is the fact that the seat is reversiable. I would NOT reccomend removing the seat with your child still in it. The seat is simply attached by placing the four pegs on the side of the seat in the grooves on the Chassis. Once in place, you simply lock the back two in place using the locking device on the back two seat pegs. I would reccomend that you lift the seat once you think it is locked in and be sure that you completly lift the stroller seat as well as the chassis. This seat does not provide a locking "click" once installed correctly as some other two part fold strollers do. If it is locked in securely, you should be able to lift the entire stroller off of the ground with the seat napper bar.
The napper bar on the seat is also adjustable and removeable.
Another nice feature of this stroller is the mud gurards around the plastic tires. These silver mud guards keep the mucky water from getting on the chassis of the stroller, and in my opinion makes the stroller easier to keep clean.

The overall price of the stroller is appx. $499 not including applicable sales tax, extra accessory purchase, and shipping costs.
The hood:
The hood will come all the way down over your child, when your child is seated in the most upright position.
Folding the stroller:
The stroller will fold almost completely flat, even with the seat attached. To fold, you simply pull up on the two release buttons on the single handle bar simultaneously. . .they are located on each side of the handle bar, and push down. If you lay the seat flat, your stroller will bed folded almost completely flat and fit in the rear of your truck, car, mini-van, or SUV. For storage, or for your own security, you can also remove the seat and fold just the chassis.
The stroller is so versitile, it's up to you!
