Ok as a mom I have been thru 5 strollers and my childs just two. This is going to be my final stroller!!!!.
br /
br /Ive been thru chico trevi -steering was awful
br /
br /Ive been thru graco quatro tour steers wonderful and good for the car seat use but doesnt set comfortably my chid didnt like it
br /
br /Ive had a jeep umbrella stroller grea for running into dollar store but no storage
br /
br /
br /Ive also owne the Kolcraft contours 3 wheeler in the baby blue and I you debating on the 3 or 4 wheeler definately go with the 4 wheeler . the seat on the 3 wheeer is so much smaller than the 4 wheeler and while the 4 wheeler offers a full paret tray it fell off so much it wasnt worth it buy the joovy caboose cup holder and use it with this oe if your looing for a full console.
br /
br /the folding is very easy pull up on both red bars push bar down and grab the handle on the baset and walla your done and you dont even have to take the seat off but it does need to be facing forward takes 3 seconds
br /
br /Its beautiful bright red and a huge.... I mean huge basket. nice parnet cupholder easy removable child cup holder and foodtray. It steers wonderfully did it with one hand on gravel road. Im short 5'2 and my husbands 5'11 handles in the perfect place . Its not hard to put together at all did it by myself in less than 15 minutes. Seriously I cant say enough about htis stroller . It folds more compact than my graco and about as small as my old umbrella stroller. Im one happy mother and my child loves this stroller shes the true tester she didnt want to get out she wanted mommy to push even more
br /

I have owned, Peg Perego two of those, and Chicco which is pretty good. But this one by far is the best. My husband even loves it and he has not cared for the others. It is easy to put together and easy to push, store. It is great looking, everyone thinks it is the $800 bugaboo. I take it for runs, walks, etc... It is great. My son loves it and he hates all strollers. You can face them out or towards you. This stroller definitely wins the prize. Definitely worth the money..... I would have paid more for this stroller.. It is definitely worth it.

Overall, I love this stroller.
br /
br /Pros:
br /- Good looking stroller
br /- Relatively inexpensive
br /- Tons of accessible storage space
br /- Child tray
br /- Parent cup holder
br /- Stands straight when folded
br /- Five-point harness
br /- Generous canopy
br /- Infinite recline
br /- Very tight turning radius
br /
br /Cons:
br /- Brakes are challenging to release by foot (especially in flip-flops!)
br /- Folding and unfolding are not intuitive, but just read the directions and if you do what they say, you won't have a problem with it!

I bought this stroller for my boys (newborn and 3 y.o.) as second one since we had already double stroller. Very easy to assemble (my wife did it alone for less than 1/2 hr), great appearance and maneuverability. Extremely eye-catching. Worth every penny. I highly recommend this stroller to anyone who prefers comfort for "passenger" and for "driver". The only thing this stroller doesn't have full "parent's" panel, it' a lil bit uncomfortable, but sure it doesn't affect this stroller's characteristics.

This stroller is great - I was shocked at how easily it turned and handled. For a heavy stroller (29 pounds!), it glides really smoothly. It is somewhat hard to get in and out of my trunk, but I just consider it my weight training for the day. It's not the easiest stroller to fold and you have to be very careful to lock it into place once you unfold it or you can run the risk of the stroller folding up on your child. (This nearly happened to me until I saw a great big WARNING label on the back of the stroller - somehow I had missed it the first time.) I really like the look, the ride, and my daughter seems to be very comfortable.

This is a fabulous stroller. I am one of those moms that swore off the whole travel system stroller, so , in order to have my child facing me I was looking at spending $500+ on a stroller. I was so happy to come across this one!!! It is excellent. Nice sturdy construction and much less expensive.
br /I would highly recommend this stroller. In fact, I already have!!!!!

We searched long and hard, and test drove dozens of strollers before choosing this one. It is a great stroller for the price. We get a lot of compliments on it. It feels well constructed and sturdy. It handles like the $500 ones (or better, in my husband's opinion, and far better than their 3-wheeled version). It rides easily over cracked sidewalks and rough terrain (though it isn't a true jogger). It switches from rear facing to forward facing fairly easily. My daughter loves the snack tray/roll bar. It looks great, even after a summer of heavy use (and many snacks). My only problems with it are: it is heavy, and it doesn't fold/unfold easily. We also need to take the roll bar off to fit it in our trunk. Maybe it's me, but I it seemed easier to fold up in the store than it does now. I just don't like the 2-step folding mechanism, and so I don't fold it down unless absolutely necessary.

I love this stroller, but it is heavy. I knew it weighed 35 lbs, but I guess I did not realize how heavy that actually was. If you do not plan on lifting in and out of the car that often or up stairs, or if you just a strong husband(like me!) then this stroller is great. Do be aware that the seat turns from forwards to back instead of the handle rotating like I thought before I recieved it. Still, it's a great, sturdy stroller and an excellent value!

We have family in the US so I bought this stroller online before we arrived for our holiday in August so we had something to use while we were there. It was such a good stroller and my four month old liked it so much I brought it home with me. He loves that it has lots of room for him to kick about in and that he can face me. He goes to sleep much faster in this stroller as I think he feels secure. It has a nice big shopping basket and is easy to control. I used it in Manhattan no problem and since coming home I take it on walks into our local town and it is brilliant. Again the only down side is the weight and size when folded however I tend to just use it when walking from home so this isn't a problem.

Great stroller!! Easy to steer, cup holder, tray, awesome canopy that can always protect from sun, HUGE basket accessible from front and back!!! And the price is right!! Down side is it is a little heavy and it is somewhat cumbersome to open. But there is no perfect stroller now is there?

This is an AMAZING stroller for the price. It's very sharp looking (receive lots of compliments). I had a travel system with my first son, and he wore it wore it out to death, so we tossed it. It was a pain to use with the car seat because it was so bulky. When looking for a new stroller for our newest addition, our old car seat was good as new, so this was perfect because it works with almost all car seats and is not so bulky! I LOVE the feature where the stroller seat can be front facing or rear facing. It is so easy to move it around (though you cannot change it while child is sitting in it). ONLY CON is that it is heavy, but I don't mind at all. Where do I need to carry a stroller. I consider it my daily workout getting it in and out of the trunk. It is a bit bulky too. Might have a hard time fitting it in a smaller car trunk. My husband loves it too because its' "cool" looking, and he's a tall guy, so he finds the handles at a good height for him. My oldest son (who weighs 55 lbs) is also able to sit comfortably in it; and pushing him is a breeze! All in all, I think this is a great product and only wished I had this first time around with our first son.

This stroller is by far the best for the money. It was easy to assemble, is easy to fold/unfold, and handles great (even one-handed). The sunshade rotates, providing great coverage, the seat reverses easily, and the base comes with an attachment for use with infant seats. The storage basket is large and easy to access and the footrest adjusts to a higher level to go along with the reclining seat. The seat recline mechanism consists of a strap that tightens or loosens, so it's not the best feature, but it's still easy to use and secure. There are two places on each side that indicate whether the frame is locked in place when unfolded. While it's not the smallest when folded up, it is more compact than some of it's other competitors (like the Britax Vigour). Highly recommend!

I spent hours looking at strollers over a few days. This one felt the most sturdy and it also folded up small enough to fit into our tiny honda hybrid car trunk. My 3.5 mo old son who outgrew his car seat and stroller system loves the kooper (he wasn't so fond of the snap 'n go). He's a little small for it so i placed a snuzzler inside and solved the problem. The back can recline to a flat position but my kid prefers to hold his head up and look at the world. The wheels roll smoothly on our daily walk around the neighborhood. I can also take this stroller shopping, it has a small basket underneath. I am very happy with stroller and would recommend it you anyone.

I love this stroller!! I got this stroller because of the reversible seat and the fact that it comes with the baby seat adapter. I had a baby seat carrier and a stroller with my first child and I loved the convenience of the two in one. The carrier seem to rock a little but it locks in place plus once it's straped in it's not going anywhere. I also fell in love with the reversible seat, I've always liked to have the baby look at me at least until they are old enough to sit up and want to look around.
br /I must agree with the fact that it's a bit heavy, but very sturdy, I don't think you have to be a body builder and 6'+ to put it in the car or handle it. I am very short 5' and very pregnant weigh 124 lb. aside from the fact that my husband won't LET me pic it up right now, I don't think I'll have a problem with it later.
br /I was also worried about it not fitting in the car since there is a review from a lady with a Taho. I have a Taho as well, WITH a thrid row sit, and it fits perfect behind the seats, in the very back, with room to spare for my umbrealla stroller for my older son or shopping bags!!
br /I also love the size of the storage basket... IT's HUGE!!
br /We purchased the stroller even though our son is not here yet, because I can't find it at any stores near where we live. I am so happy with the stroller I can't wait to put our baby boy in it.

My husband and I love this stroller! This is not my first stroller and I wish I had had this stroller a long time ago. It beats every stroller I ever had.
br /
br /After reading the reviews we were a little nervous about folding it and headroom for my daughter but we loved the idea of her facing us so went ahead and bought it. Here are some of its highlights for us:
br /
br /*We both agree folding it is easy (you do need to read the directions first - it doesn't come naturally). It is actually much smoother to fold than our prior Evenflo, Metrolite and QuatroTour.
br /*Our daughter is 29inches at 9 months and has plenty of headroom. Our 2 year old son climbed in and although comfortable, he was out of luck with room.
br /*We are both tall (6'3" and 5'9") and the handle height is comfortable.
br /* The basket is huge and very accessible.
br /* Changing the direction of the seat is very easy!
br /* Very easy to push while still feeling very sturdy.
br /
br /I just wish I had it sooner so I could have used it with the infant car seat!
br /

This stroller handles exceptionally well. We go on walks throughout our neighborhood. We've got a lot of building going on here, so we're up and down sidewalks, through construction areas, over grass, and across streets. I can turn the stroller with one hand. It's not weighty while pushing. I love the fact that I can watch my son while we're walking. I know he'll want to face out later, but for now, he mostly sleeps on walks. The stroller is a little difficult to fold up and down. And it is heavy. Also, I don't think it folds up with the seat facing toward you. So you have to take that off first. For us, though, we're not taking it in and out of the car so much. We're using it for walks. For that, it works perfectly.

I really wanted to like this stroller, but I have to agree with the guy who gave it one star. Besides it being almost impossible to unlock the wheel brakes, it smelled VERY strongly of chemicals. I couldn't put my baby in something so toxic smelling so I returned it and am still waiting for a refund. On the up side, I didn't think the fold/unfold was all that bad.

Have had the stroller for about a week now. Overall, it's not bad but there is room for improvement so I only give it three stars.
br /
br /Pros:
br /Cost. It has decent features for the price
br /Reversible seat is very easy
br /Recline feature is simple
br /Comes with car seat adapter and cup holder
br /Latch to hold in place when folded
br /Unfolding doesn't seem to be an issue for me
br /Basket is huge
br /
br /Cons:
br /Weight - as a dude I'll admit it is a bit heavy - they need to use aluminum and not metal.
br /Brakes are difficult to unlock/lock - gonna add grease to mine to help it some.
br /While it is a smooth ride you do need a bit of effort to push it. Right now it is not an issue but I wonder about when the kid is older/bigger.
br /"Chemical Smell" - I let it sit out for a day and don't notice it anymore.
br /The cup holder needs to be removed to fold - kinda annoying. Not a big issue, but annoying if you fold it a lot.
br /The handle is curved instead of straight and takes bit of getting used to.
br /
br /It came down to form, function, and cost. I am totally willing to spend the $$ to get a stroller that allows my son to face me. It was either spend the $$ or spend 60% less and get a stroller that does essentially the same thing. Sure it's not as sexy as others but it works well. Besides if I decide in a month I hate it I only spent $160 instead of $500+.

I would have given it 5 stars if the folding feature was easier. The stroller is fairly heavy, and it doesn't unfold easily. I was so embaressed one time, where 2 people had to help me in front of the mall to unfold my stroller. It is just not easy at all. The look is great, but buy it only if you can leave it unfolded.

This stroller rolls and handles really well and it seems to be well made. That is the good. The bad is: it is terrible to fold up, it is heavy, it folds up going off of a sidewalk/curb, the cup holder pops off when you fold it, the crotch strap is thin and unpadded, and the serving tray needs to come off to fold the stroller. Other than that the color is nice and the and we get compliments ion it but I would not buy it again.

This stroller has been great so far. Huge basket you can easily access, smooth ride, wheels roll nicely, canopy seems to cover well, LOVE LOVE LOVE the cup holder for me, nice fabric, child tray is also good, and most important for us is my daughter likes to sit upright unlike the position in the jogging strollers and this one sits upright the way she likes. One other great feature is the reversible seat with the push of two buttons. My daughter was so ready for a nap so I turned it and was able to watch her whils she slept. Of course she had to be out of it but it's really quick.
br /My only complaint is the folding and unfolding. We just went to disneyland and struggled with both folding and unfolding everytime we took the shuttle. It's a weird movement but hopefully I'll perfect it because this stroller is worth it in my opinion. I read alot of reviews while looking at this stroller so I hope this helps the next buyer!

I got this stroller because I was sick of our light-weight stroller's short handle and bad handling. Both these problems were solved with this one! Actually, my favorite part about this stroller is the reversible seat. I LOVE being able to face my baby. I can easily see when the sun is in her eyes and move the canopy to accommodate her. She even likes to peek at me through the clear little window on the canopy. The canopy/sunshade is wonderful - you can move it and it's big too. The seat is super easy to remove. I even lift it off with her in it when she falls asleep and take her up to her crib. It's much less disturbing for my light-sleeper. I love the large, easily-accessible basket. The stroller was easy to assemble. I noticed a tear in the foot-rest portion, and after calling Kolcraft, they quickly sent me a replacement seat. It's easy to fold up. Now the negatives.... It's heavy. But I knew that and was ok with it. It's other features were worth it to me. It's not super-easy to unfold, it seems you have to push on the basket with your foot at a certain angle to unfold it. BUT I do it holding my baby using 1 hand and my foot and i eventually get it, so it's not that bad. And the snack tray is a bit high. It seems like she could bang her head on it if she's not harnessed in really tight and we hit a rough spot on the sidewalk. We actually just removed it since we don't really use it anyway. The canopy is kinda loud when you push it back or pull it forward (I only care when she's sleeping and it actually hasn't woken her up yet, it just seems like it will). Overall, i love this stroller. I was so happy to find a reversible seat for this price!

It's a great stroller so far. I get compliments on it every time I take it out, and even though I'm still using the car-seat with it, I expect when my daughter gets bigger the main seating part will be good too. My only complaint about it, is that it is heavy to carry...which is why I have my hubby do the carrying if it have to move it from one place to another. but if I'm just taking it out of the car, it's not a problem. All in all a good stroller.

This is a great stroller. It handles well, looks great, has a HUGE basket, seat reclines all the way, has lots of shade under the canopy. The only negative is unfolding it. I STRUGGLE with it every time! I keep wondering if I'm doing something wrong, but I just can't seem to get it right. Seemed so easy when the guy did it in the store. It's also quite heavy, but I now have great back and arm muscles!! Overall, I would definitely recommend it, but be prepared for a little bit of frustration unfolding it. I also wish it had a parent tray.

We wanted a stroller that was reversible and just couldn't bring ourselves to purchase a 400 to 800 dollar stroller. This one is very good for the price. Just be careful that the seat is locked in place. It handles well - I recommend it.

I was happy to find this stroller on Amazon.com for $35 less than all other store prices. It only took three days to arrive at my door (with free shipping.) Although the box was in rough shape, I was very excited to put the stroller together and use it the next day. Once I got all the pieces out and started assembly, I noticed that the rear axle was missing. I also noticed some of the metal on the stroller had some deep scratches. I called the company that made the stroller and they are shipping me the axle but it will take up to 10 days to get here. I am hoping the deep scratches don't rust. I am left to wonder if this was someone elses return! I gave 4 stars because I'm sure the stroller will be nice if I ever get the piece.

It's built of quality, as far as I can tell. Overall I think it is a well-built product. It's quite big and wide, good for a big baby I guess. It's a little too big for my baby daughter (8 months old) right now.
br /

I bought this carriage in need of a rear facing more modern stroller. I also own a graco travel system which was complicated to assemble and very heavy. I wish i would have seen this one when i was registering due to the snap and go feature.The Contours stroller is fashonable. The only disadvantage is that the front holder is a little to high for the baby. Also the rubber from the handle bars we worn off easily. Other than that it has lots of storage which is an A+++. I definitely recommend this.

Very satisfied with this stroller
br /
br /It feels very nice when using it, driving, if you could use this expression for a stroller
br /
br /The basket is huge, excellent
br /
br /The only downside is the unfolding, kind of difficult, but generally speaking excellent !

I just purchased this stroller a week ago after reading many reviews on different strollers. I have an almost 4 year old who might want to ride sometimes, but mainly I purchased this for my 19 month old son. I have had other strollers, but chose to buy this because I wanted a stroller that had better steering then the ones I have, as well as a good design. It absolutely steers great. It's very easy to push and does not feel heavy when pushing. I am pleased with the parent cup holder as well as the ease of access to the basket. There is lots of storage space. For the money, I feel like it I chose a great product without spending a fortune. It is heavy to lift when folded, and does take up a good deal of space in the trunk of my SUV, but I am glad that I chose this. Wish I'd purchased it sooner.

Absolutely love it! Was looking for a stroller that would allow me to see my baby. My son is only 4.5 months, but he is already 19 lbs and the stroller fits him very nice.
br /
br /The ride is very smooth compared to the Zooper Waltz I had, and it looks great too! The fact that it is sort of heavy is what gives it a nicer ride, I think. Absolutely worth it! I researched all similar ones (Fisher price infant-to-toddler, britaz vigour and others) and this is the best one for the money! also, the storage cart is very large at the bottom compared to bougaboo and other more expensive models. Also, great looking!
br /
br /The handle is sort of high, but I got used to it and it does not really matter. Highly recommended stroller!

Well all I can say is that I love my grandaughter's "Contours Options 4". I purchase a stroller 2 years ago for my son. we paid well over $900.00 in england.and this stroller is simular in alot of ways but less the money.this is a Great Buy and it looks Good to very urban,modern. not like they had back in 1999 when the stroller weigh more then the parent [lol]

This stroller is great. Best steering out of all stollers I've owned. I have a 10 mo old that I push around in this and he loves it. Most stollers don't allow for sitting up support and this one does. Seat adjust to great sitting up and lying down position. Love the canopy b/c it moves all the way forward without any effort to block light.
br /Best features- Love the fact that the seat can be turned around so my son can face me and still check out things around. Makes it easy to care for him on the go(dropped bottle, food, etc.). Big wheels in back with swival front make a huge difference in turning. Makes it easy to get through doors with one hand on the bar to move stoller and one on the door to open it. Thing turns on a dime. Basket below holds a bunch of bags and easy to get things in and out of. At the mall a couple of days ago and used it. Such great access compared to other strollers.
br /Worried but no big deal- opening and closing it and the weigh of 29 lbs. Both are not a issue. Practiced opening and closing it at home a couple of times and not a big deal once you understand how it works. 29 lbs is not that heavy. I think if anything, its make it very sturdy.
br /My last stoller (large one) was broken on a trip to FL when it was stored on the plane. Wheels were bowed and it would barely would go. Sturdy is huge on my list now and so far this stoller meets that.
br /My husband was impressed and actually pushes it around. Great stroller, great price. great job Kolcraft!!! PS Tons of compliments already and only had it for a couple of weeks.

I now that stroller fits most car seats.
br /I want to buy a "Chicco key fit 30" car seat for this stroller.Have anyone know if there is defference between "chicco key fit" "chicco key fit 30"?
br /Thank you!

I just got this stroller today, so I want to preface this review by saying that I haven't actually used it outside yet. I was debating about buying this stroller because there were so many negative comments about folding / unfolding it. It really IS NOT hard. I was also concerned about the fact that the seat has to be facing out to fold it up. This also is not a big deal. To get the seat off you just have to push two buttons in and lift it up. The seat itself is really light and easy to move. Here are other things I have found so far:
br / -It does smell a little bit like new flip flops (in response to the person who said it had a chemical smell). Don't know if that is good or bad but it does have a little smell to it.
br / -It is heavy.
br / -It folds up pretty small and does stand on its own when the brakes are engaged.
br / -It has an AWESOME sun canopy. I am obsessed with my son staying out of the sun during walks, and I know I won't have to worry with this stroller.
br /
br /Overall, the stroller seems well-made. I am happy with the purchase. And, seriously, don't be afraid of the folding!!

I love this stroller. Only thing I have to get used to is opening it. This should not discourage you. It folds SUPER easy! My son loves it; I especially love that the seat can flip around. It's perfect for when he falls asleep I want to keep an eye on him or when its cold out he can be away from the cold wind. My son is 1yr old 27lbs he still has room to move in it. I have suggested this stroller to my friends who have children. I love the look of it!

I did an excessive amount of research about strollers prior to my baby's arrival, and this one was the winner. I've been using it for 3 months now and love it. Most of our stroller trips are from home, through our urban neighborhood. We also have limited space at home. I like that it stands up when folded---fits nicely in the closet. It's pretty big for putting in the trunk, but we never really do that anyway, so it wasn't an issue for us.
br /
br /The wheels handle well on our sometimes-rough sidewalks. Though if you're looking for something that will bounce over every bump with ease, get air-filled tires. This one occasionally gets stuck on some sizes of bumps. MUCH better than the travel system strollers I've seen tooling around the neighborhood, though.
br /
br /I love that the seat is reversible, the amount of recline is totally customizable, and the canopy can be positioned in any number of ways to block the sun. The big basket underneath and cupholder are also nice. This stroller could almost pass as one of the fancy $800+ strollers, but it's surprisingly affordable.
br /
br /One tip: read the instructions carefully, and practice the fold/unfold a couple of times. It's not intuitive, but it's not hard once you figure it out the first time. All in all, this stroller is totally worth it!

I love this stroller. It is functional and looks great as well. The basket is huge and you can actually get to it, unlike the baskets on the other strollers I have owned. It was very easy to put together (i had no help from my husband). It is just the best stroller I have had.
br /
br /The negative that people seem to mention is the folding. It does fold differently than other strollers. If you read the directions and fold/unfold a couple of times it is a BREEZE. Don't pass this stroller up because people say it is hard to fold/unfold.

I love this stroller! I bought it for my newborn son who has down syndrome and other medical issues which require me to be able to see him when he is in the stroller! I researched many parent-facing strollers and this was the best stroller for the price! Most of the others I looked at were outrageously priced!! I've had it for about a month and use it almost daily. It is wonderful!! Puts together easily and switches from parent-facing to world-facing very easily! The only negative review I found about this stroller was something about the smell upon opening it from delivery - I did not notice this too much - it just smelled new to me! Also, I have had many strollers in my lifetime(I have seven children) and this is the nicest and easiest to put together and use so far!!

Very impress w/this stroller. Light, easy handle good design. Also, the price is very good compare to the expensive ones.

I just got this stroller for my 5th child. I have owned 2 other strollers previously and this is by far my favorite. I love it!!

My wife and I are two of the millions of Americans who care about what comes into contact with our bodies. We bought this stroller because we were displeased with the performance of the Britax Vigour. However, we still wanted a rear facing stoller. So, we had high expectations for this product and we were excited when it came. However, upon opening the box, we were immediately confronted by a very high chemical smell. Further investigation revealed that the stroller was made in China. Kolcraft apparently feels this information needs to be hidden because it's written in very small print on the bottom of the box. If you are one of the millions of Americans who are concerned about phalates in your products, steer clear of this one. Shame on Kolcraft for trying to save money by poisoning workers in China with these chemicals, shame on Amazon for not disclosing where the products it sells are made, and shame on us Americans every time we purchase one of these products. My wife and I have returned this product and are still looking for a good rear-facing stroller made by a responsible company.
