This is an awesome cruiser
By runnerdiva
Ok so let me start by saying I have last years model that came without the mp3 speakers. I also bought this item from Babies R Us but I wanted to actually give viewers a review on the product itself and not just complain about the price.I am currently training for a marathon. I also just had my baby 3 months ago. When she was 3 days old we took her to the local parade and this stroller was perfect. Our next outing was at 5 days old and we went for a mile walk. She did not shake around at all. It is very sturdy. We have taken it on many trips and it is very lightwieght so I have no problem loading it in my SUV.I am currently taking this out for 5 miles at a time and my baby just loves it and sleeps the entire time. I love the swivel wheel for when we go shopping.I did not need any bells and whistles in a stroller. I wanted something that was easy for me to load and comfortable for my baby and this stroller is.

Great stroller, decent jogger
By Stefany
If you walk everywhere like I do or jog occasionally, this stroller is perfect. However, if you're a hardcore runner or don't have lots of smooth surfaces around you, I wouldn't recommend it.We've had this stroller for about a month and so far I really like it. We bought it because we live near a park with tons of trails (dirt and paved) for runners and walkers. I use it 4-5 x / week and I am so glad I bought it. I wish I would've gotten it sooner. Our daughter is 8 months.I would say that there are mostly pros, but several cons that some might want to take into consideration before buying.Pros1. Comfortable for my daughter. She sleeps in it all the time. When she's in the carseat, the two covers work perfectly to block out sun and wind.2. I can take it anywhere. Street, mall, stores, cafe, trails. The front wheel locks and unlocks making it easy to switch from jogging outside to walking around in a mall.3. It takes me 2 seconds to fold it and put into my car trunk. And the carseat snaps in and out of both the stroller and the base in the car very quickly.4. The storage basket underneath is huge! I love it. I'ved filled it with two bags of groceries, jackets, toys etc. and it held everything no problem.5. Handle is comfortable and adjusts for different heights. I'm 5'2" and my husband is 5'11" and we can easily switch the height for either one of us.6. We liked the fact that it's a jogger with the all-terrain wheels, but that it also had the carseat attachment, so that our baby could see us and vice versa.Cons1. If you're outside and the front wheel is unlocked, and you walk too fast, the whole stroller shakes. It's scary. (It's perfect for when you're inside a store) So, I keep the front wheel locked most of the time when I'm outside.2. It's heavy (with the carseat attachment). Because I keep the front wheel locked most of the time, when I want to turn a corner or get on or off sidewalks, I have to tilt the whole stroller back to lift the front wheel up and it takes some effort. Granted, I'm short, so maybe I don't have the leverage for it, but even my husband felt like it was heavier than it should be. This will probably be easier once we take the carseat attachment off and my daughter rides facing forward.3. The cupholders are too small for my standard metal water bottle. We just removed ours entirely and replaced it with a different holder, the Sunshine Kids buggy Sunshine Kids Stroller Accessory Buggy Buddy which works perfectly. The only problem now is that I can't use the MP3 player since it was attached to the cupholders.Overall I would recommend this stroller! Hope this helps.

Hard to use
By Bobbie
This stroller provides a smooth ride and turns easily. The straps on the stroller are easy to manage. BUT... it is very hard to snap the straps on the car seat in place. There are two pieces that must fit together and you push them into the bottom attachment of the car seat. The bottom piece does not come out far enough so baby is in the way and it is very hard to see how to properly align the two top pieces. When you do get them aligned, you have to push very hard to snap them into place.The stroller also does not fold easily. There are two different handles/buttons that need to be pushed and they need a tight grip to release. I understand you don't want the stroller to fold when you don't want it to, but there must be an easier way to unlock it.The stroller is also awkward and heavy when you are lifting it in the back of a SUV. There doesn't seem to be a great place to get a good grip on it. We also push the folded up stroller in/out of the house, and unless you hold it at a specific angle the basket drags the ground.Overall, I love the stroller but the design needs some work and it shouldn't be so hard for small moms to lock/unlock buckles and buttons and carry around.
