Great stroller

We purchased this stroller after researching all the different brands out there...and there is a lot to choose from!!! What I really love about this stroller is that it feels sturdy and the seat is nice and padded and not flimsy material. It has a very smooth ride as well. I love the parent cup holders and that the baby has a tray as well. Many of the 3-wheeled strollers do not offer these features. This stroller does turn on a dime and is easy to fold. The basket is large and easy to reach as well. No complaints with that...
br /
br /The cons are: you can't have a baby face you unless the baby is in a car seat (I haven't tried a car seat yet...we are getting the Graco Safe Seat and it's a little bigger than the snug ride so I hope it fits ok). We did get the cayanne and the color looked a bit faded coming out of the box. The wheels do loose air and have to be pumped up every few days or so. I heard you can call the company and they will replace the tires if they leak a lot so I may call them. The most worthless part is the break. I can't get the break to work for the life of me by stepping on it. The directions say you have to push down with "significant force." However, I can't push down any harder without totally ruining the stroller. My partner can get the brake to engage by pusing down with both hands but not her feet....Plus, when the brake support legs come down they don't even touch the ground and we can't get them adjusted enough to reach the ground. So the break system for us is completely worthless and we would like to actually remove those extra little legs since they sort of bounce around when you are pushing the stroller around. One more con is that the child cup holder is so small that none of our bottles fit into the little hole. I guess we could put snacks in it. But all the standard bottles I have are too large. That's ok...she would throw it out anyway...
br /
br /So, besides the totally worthless brake system, we really do love this stroller. The baby is comfortable in it, it rides very smooth and it does look sharp. There is extra padding which I haven't found on most strollers and I love the extra pockets in the back to put baby or mommy things. The parent try is great too and very easy to remove if you don't want it.

Nice stroller, but not for jogging

My wife and I have spent countless hours at this poing trying to find a true jogging stroller, reviewed by someone who jogs. What we've found is that most jogging strollers are like SUV's. Yes, they could be used for their intended purpose, but that might ruin the shiny tires and trim packages. The instructions for this stroller clearly state it is not intended for jogging. The stroller is intended to accept the carrier style car seats for babies under 20lbs. It is a fairly good fit, except that the stroller does not allow the car seat to lock into place. To stabilize the car seat, there is a very awkward strap that connect to the strollers 5 point harness. The strap is very difficult to tighten. After a phone call to the cust. serv. office regarding this strap (I assumed I was doing something wrong as I couldn't get it to tighten on the car seat) , I learned the strap is just difficult to tighten and since the stroller is meant for jogging, its probably not an issue. The service rep., who was very nice and willing to help, informed me a "fast walk" would be ok, but that jogging would not be comfortable.
br /
br /Fit and finish seem pretty solid, if you dont want to jog, then this stroller has just about everything you need and more. We haven't had any problems with the brake and really like how robust the braking system is. A kickstand is extended to stabilize the stroller along with engaging the brake. Nice touch.
br /
br /I would buy this product if I didn't need something to jog with and just want the look/style of a jogging stroller. For the price, you cant find a better deal.

Well-priced 3-wheel stroller

I bought this stroller after my son turned one and it was clear that a three-wheel stroller would be handy. We've used it for a year now and I've been very happy with it, particularly for the price (as compared to other jogging strollers).
br /
br /Pros: This is about as lightweight as the three-wheels get. It also folds very easily (unfortunately there is not a way to secure it shut). You can remove both the parent and child tray if you want it even lighter. The storage basket underneath is very roomy - the best basket of our three strollers actually. I also really like the storage compartments on the back of the canopy. The parent tray is also nice - something that is lacking in a lot of the jog strollers. The sun canopy is a nice size and provides good coverage. The stroller maneuvers very well. The kick-stand feature is nice too - particularly now that my son is 2 and wants to climb in and out by himself. The ability to attach an infant seat is an added bonus and one I intend to use with our second child.
br /
br /Cons: I do not have problems engaging the brake (sounds like the other reviewer had a bad unit?), but releasing the brake can be painful while wearing open toed shoes in the summer because you have to push and lift on a metal bar with the tip of your foot at the same time. This is more an annoyance than anything. Another con is the snack tray for the kids - I have yet to find a sippy cup that actually fits in the hole. I've tried several brands. I'm not sure why they couldn't make the hole just a little wider.
br /
br /I would have given the stroller five stars, but knocked it down since I don't think it will fit my son for much longer. My son (24 months) is at the top of the height charts and is starting to look uncomfortable in the stroller. We can't really use the snack tray any longer because his knees are so high up if he uses the footrest (which he does). The seat is also pretty shallow and it looks like he's about to fall out. A lot of kids quit using the stroller much around this age though, so it may not be that big of a deal. However, for when we do use the stroller, I'd have liked for him to be a little more comfortable.

br /This stroller was not the easiest to put together, but otherwise a great stroller. The green color is really cute and it looks comfortable for my little one. The basket on the bottom has plenty of room, even for a little dog that gets too tired on a long walk.
