I bought this stroller a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier. I have three children and we live on a gravel road so I wanted something that we could go for walks with. I looked at what seems like a million reviews before I settled on this one (although I couldn't find too many reviews of this stroller) and I can't tell you how wonderful this stroller is. It has all the things you need, plus a comfortable ride for my girls (4 months and 2 yrs). Like I said we live on gravel and you would never know it when walking with this stroller. It was so easy to push and my girls just enjoyed the ride.
br /
br / There is a nice parent console that fits 2 water bottles and my cell phone. (plus there is a little zipper at the bottom of it for something small-keys?). It has pockets on the back of each seat, and a very roomy basket below the seats. It isn't real deep, but we went to the fair today and had all kinds of bumps to cross and my large diaper bag never fell out. It actually has better space than my other tandem double stroller has.
br /
br /The swivel wheel is awesome too! I knew I wanted a swivel and this works great. I am not a big runner, so I haven't locked the swivel in yet, but I am sure it will work fine just like the rest of the stroller. I am so glad that I didn't spend a lot more money for what might have been a good stroller, because I honestly can't imagine a better one than this. (This is my first jogger, but my 5th stroller and I doubt I'll ever need another one with this.) It is the best!

You want this stroller!!!

I love this stroller so much! I read the reviews on it and couldn't find hardly anything negative, so I decided to get it. Plus, it was a great price!
br /
br /I will try to answer some of the questions I had when I was researching it.
br /
br /First of all, the seats do recline independently, yes.
br /
br /Second, the picture doesn't show it, but the seat padding is red, and a very soft material. It seems like it should be pretty stain resistant too.
br /
br /And third, the parent console- It does not go all the way across from one side of the bar to the other (like the Bob duallie console). So it is smaller than I was expecting. But it does have has 2 drink spots, a mesh side pocket, one pocket with a flap (about the size of a cell phone), another zippered pocket on bottom, and also 2 plastic clips for attaching keychains, I guess. Plenty for me!
br /
br /What I like and dislike about it:
br /
br /The Pros-
br /
br /1. Ridiculously easy to push and maneuver. It is like one of those strollers at the amusement parks that you rent, and wish you could just take home with you... only better!!!
br /
br /2. Size- It fits in my trunk (and I have a small car) and I don't even have to take off any wheels. Also, it fits through my front door. But it is still roomy enough for my almost 3 year old, who is pretty tall for his age.
br /
br /3. Low price!
br /
br /4. Great style and design- I just think it looks really nice, and everything works great too!
br /
br /5. Storage- Like I said, it comes with a console! Also, it has a storage pocket on the back of each seat, with a cord so you can tighten the opening- which I like. It also has the storage underneath.
br /
br /6. Swivel (or locked) Wheel- Of course this helps with the maneuverability. And it's very easy to change from swivel to lock. You literally just flip a little switch (similar to a light switch).
br /
br /Now for the cons...
br /1. You do have to use lock pins when you are setting it up to use. You put a pin in place, and then there is a metal loop thing that goes around to the other side and hooks on to lock the pin in place. These are a little bit of a pain, but not too bad.
br /
br /2. The seats do not sit up very far, so my sons were laying down a little bit. BUT, I found a way around this--
br /There are 2 straps (one behind each seat) that you tighten or loosen to adjust the seat position. Or you can unbuckle the strap, and the seat will recline completely. When it is completely tightened, the seats still are leaning back too much. So, (for each seat) I just unbuckled the strap, wrapped it around the metal side bar, and this shortened it enough so that now my kids are sitting up right. I may have made this sound complicated, but it was actually very simple to do.
br /
br /3. No tray or pockets in the child seating area.
br /
br /4. The front wheel is smaller than most jogging strollers, so if you are an avid jogger this may not be for you.
br /
br /To me, the many pros of this stroller WAY outweigh the cons, so I definitely recommend it. In fact, I love using it so much that I look for excuses to go places, just so I can use it! And my boys don't mind, either. They love the ride!

Great stroller

I was just wondering if anyone knows if this stroller has independent recliners or is it just one big seat?
br /Thanks
