I'm very satisified with this stroller: it is lightweight, easy to fold and open up, and easy to drive around. It folds up really small, has a harness that can be used as a 3- or 5-point, and it can recline up to about 60 degrees (=more than halfway between straight up and lying flat). It is also rather stylish, in colors that are fun and modern (and totally acceptable for Dads) and that also don't show dirt too much.
br /My only regret is that the basket is not bigger -but I guess for that you'd probably need a bigger stroller altogether, which isn't what I was after.
br /
br /Oh! Also, my son (6 m.o.) regularly falls asleep in it, which he hadn't done since he was a newborn. So that's the vote for the comfort level, right?

I love this stroller! I have owned 6 strollers in total for my 20 month old and was never satisfied. My daughter is big for her age and the light-weight strollers didn't feel too sturdy when I would turn the stroller. This one moves great and turns smoothly on a dime!
br /
br /The basket is the perfect size for my diaper bag and the one-hand fold is great! The only drawback is the lack of a cup holder for the parents, but I ordered the Buddy Buggy organizer and think this will work out great!
br /
br /My daughter loves the stroller and has plenty of room to grow into it. It's umbrella-style fold leaves plenty of room in the trunk of my SUV for groceries.
br /
br /I am relieved to be able to stop searching for the perfect stroller, since I have found it!!!

I bought this stroller based on some reviews. The majority were good including Consumer Reports. But a couple reviews mentioned this poor sitting position. The stroller has an adjustable seat but in the full upright position you can very lightly pull back on the seat and it will drop right down to a 45 degree position. The very motion of my toddler getting in to the seat and sitting back, for example, was enough to push the seat back. I returned the unit. Luckily, Amazon has this postage paid (Amazon picks up the bill) return option.

I purchased this stroller because my 4 1/2 month son has outgrown his infant car seat and the stroller that came with it only has a 3 point harness. I love the IPO! It is lightweight, folds and opens very easily, the handles are at a good height (I'm 5'5" and my husband is 6'3" and it works for both of us), the recline works well, and you can steer it with one hand if need be(try doing that with most umbrella strollers, not gonna happen!). It's much sturdier feeling than the Chicco C6, which was my original chioce until I saw the IPO in a local store. The Chicco C6 stroller seemed flismy in comparison and the handles were too short for me to walk comfortably(the Chicco C5 is almost the same as the IPO but has a lower weight limit and weighs 14lbs). The IPO is 3-6lbs heavier than your average umbrella stroller, but I like that about it. You can hang bags off the handles without it tipping over when your child is not in it. It also feels nicer, more substantial.
br / My son seems really comfortable in it. The seat in it's least reclined postion is not straight up and down, he sits leaning back a bit, but doesn't seem to mind. At first I thought I wouldn't like the harness, but I like that it's really easy to get him out of it. I don't have to pull his arms out of the harness because it comes apart.
br / The canopy is small like all umbrella strollers, so I purchased a Rayshade and that works great.
br / I do wish it came with a storage bag for traveling and am going to try to find one for it. It's a little longer that some umbrella strollers at 43.5" so I don't know if it will fit in the bags available. I would and have recommended it to a friend.

I am very impressed with this stroller! It definitely is a lot heavier than a traditional umbrella stroller, but if you want something that feels extremely sturdy than this is your stroller. It came almost put together, all we had to install were that wheels and canopy (which was super easy). The wheels are very smooth and turn incredibly easy. It is easy to open and close. The recline is a lot better than you expect, my son can almost lay completely flat. The best thing about this stroller is how tall the handles are. My husband and I are both tall (I'm 5"9 he's almost 6'0) so we always worry about having to hunch over to push an umbrella stroller. We read the reviews, trusted what people said and they were right! It is a perfect height for both us! The basket at the bottom is pretty small and a little hard to get into. But all in all this is a fantastic buy! I'm glad I got it for our trip next week and I can't wait to try it at Disneyland later this year!

I'm very impressed with this stroller so far. I'm 6'2" and I've had trouble in the past with the stroller handles not being high enough for a tall person like myself. I usually get hunched over and it's very uncomfortable. Not so with this stroller, I don't slouch one bit while pushing this stroller.
br /
br /Another thing I like is the canopy. Many other strollers I've had in the past have the canopy as a second piece you attach to the stroller. You can either attach and use the canopy, or you need to take it off. This stroller has the canopy attached, but it's very easy to retract it when you don't want to use it. The canopy also has a window that you can view your child from the top.
br /
br /The seat can be tilted back to a near horizontal position to the ground. Great for little ones to get a good nap in a comfortable yet agile position while you are out and about.
br /
br /Walking with the stroller is a breeze, you can turn the stroller on a dime, and it easily travels over rough surfaces.
br /
br /The stroller even has a handle! Yes, after you fold it up, there is a convenient handle to carry the stroller instead of trying to manhandle the stroller to your trunk or wherever you store it.
br /
br /It's also got a 50lb weight limit, You can stroller your 4-year old if you had to!
br /
br /I definitely recommend this stroller.
br /
br /

I bought this stroller after searching for a sturdy yet light weight sto-and-go stroller. The price is what I would consider reasonable and the quality of it so far is excellent. It shipped quickly and I didn't have to assemble it.
br /
br /The canopy is detachable and small. I can't see it really blocking out a majority of the sun, but it seems somewhat practical. The seat has a five point harness system that is easy to use and holds my little guy in there safely. The basket under the stroller is actually pretty decent sized since this is supposed to be an umbrella stroller equivilant. I could easily put a light jacket under there and some other odds and ends. Maybe not a big ol' diaper bag, but I wouldn't expect to be able to since this is a small, fold up stroller not a full sized stroller. The seat does recline with the flick of a tab but ours doesn't easily slip in and out of place like another reviewers did. The seat sits fairly upright and is a nice leaned back position when fully reclined.
br /
br /The stroller easily manuevers around the sidewalks and side streets of our city. It is stable and turns quickly. The handles are tall enough for my 6'2" husband but still in a comfortable place for me at 5'2". The rear wheel base is a bit narrow for my husband's liking. Because his stride and foot size is larger then mine, he kicks the back tires or brace with his feet if he doesn't really watch it. I don't have this problem though.
br /
br /It folds up pretty easily, and even though it takes using both hands right now, I can tell that the more I use it I may be able to close it with only one hand. It is light enough to carry and folds up small enough to fit easily in the trunk of our car. Opening it? Now that's a different story. You are supposed to push with your foot on this little spot on the back and lock the stroller open. I've done this and several times, it doesn't really lock even though you see and hear the click of the "lock". I've had the stroller collapse in on my son when I put him in it. Not cool. One time I had to practically jump on the pedal/lock to get it to really lock. But then, other times it easily locks in place like no big deal. Maybe I'm just new at using it or something. It's a "User Error" not a problem with the actual stroller, I'm sure.
br /
br /Overall, I really like this stroller and don't think I'll buy any other stroller. I would recommend it to a friend with the warning about the stroller not locking all the way if you don't do it right. Most importantly, my son loves riding around in it and I feel like he is safe in it. It isn't a burden to pack up and store and it isn't so big that I can't get around the city with it, in and out of stores etc. If you don't want to buy a cheap, umbrella stroller but don't want the next size up "light weight" stroller, this is the stroller for you. It was a great middle of the road choice for us since it wasn't cheaply made like the $25 stroller, was sturdy yet wasn't outrageously priced like the "high-end" strollers are.

I have owned 6 strollers already in the 4.5 years since my first child was born, and so far this is one of my favorites! I have 3 kids have hated almost every stroller so far. This one was recommended to me by a neighbor I am loving it so far.
br /
br /pros: Pretty lightweight yet not flimsy. REALLY easy to fold up. Great carrying handle on side of frame, which is small enough to stay out of the way when using storing, yet sturdy enough to be able to lift stroller in out of car. plus my 2 year holds it while walking next to the stroller, seat is easy to adjust while baby is asleep. the slight curve to the handles makes it easy to steer with one hand (not so on others) convenent basket straps can be used as 3 point or 5! sun shade is removable. Very easy to use put together. Tall handles, compared to most lightweight strollers. NO bending or backaches. easy to fold with release lever.
br /
br /cons: basket is small hard to reach with seat in recline but it is better than nothing. sun shade doesn't move very far, if sun is not right overhead then it doesnt do much. no cup holder (or attachment) but this helps keep it light. the lock mechanism that holds the frame open could be a bit bigger, it is hard to push with foot, you have to be at just the right angle. shade blocks latch that holds it when folded up, but this isn't to big of deal, you just need to push it in a bit.
br /
br /Overall this stroller is great, light weight easy to use. Great if your tall. I can use if for my 3 month old or my 4 year old.

I bought this stroller to use for my 21 month old daughter. I wanted something light that folded up small, but was still comfortable. The height is great, the handles and wheels make for easy manuevering, and the storage basket is a good size. The only thing that I would change is the way the seat fastens when it is in an upright position. It seems to stay, but I find myself checking the strap every once in a while to make sure it hasn't slipped down. I love that it has a 50lbs weight limit because it means that my older two can take a ride when they get tired too. The color and fabric make it easy to clean. The IPO comes in other colors, which all seem to be more expensive that this one. Some of them have white instead of light grey, which seems like it would get dirty quickly.

This is a well made reclining stroller for the price. It moves pretty easily through stores and sidewalks. It has enough storage for a small diaper bag, a small purse or blanket. I love the fact that I can hang a larger diaper bag, purse or coat on the handles and it does not tip over like other strollers. I like the 5 point harness; however it could have been designed better for those parents who have wiggle worms! My child is 10 months and fits in this stroller nicely...it also works with my 2 year old niece. My only wish would have been that this stroller would have had a detachable cup holder/storage area by the handles. All in all this is a great stroller for the price.

i just got this stroller the other day and i LOVE it!! when my son was born i bought a cosco one. i didnt use it for awhile considering i used the infant carrier stroller up until a month ago. everytime i put my son into it, he cried. i dont blame him. the seat is only about 5 inches deep and there is no support. so he falls. it was just cheaply made.
br /
br /but this one he loves. he looks comfy in it. i love the 3 or 5 pt harness. the wheels are thick unlike the cosco one. the seat reclines almost all the way. so it would be great for a newborn. my son is almost months. its easy to fold, and easy to set up. its just easy. i wish i would have gotten this sooner!!!!

this stroller is great!! I have a back injury so the feature with the handles being higher is great i love the way its easy to close, you dont have to struggle with it at all it even has a handle to pull to close the stroller. It looks very comfortable for my 4 year old she fits great in it, i love the color i chose it in black it looks great overall, huge basket in the bottom the seat reclines to the position desired, also the seat reclines for desired leg postion. the only thing i dont like about this stroller is that the 5 point harness is too easy for them to open with the push of a button my daughter opens it and runs out of the stroller. However, i love this stroller so much i am looking for a solution for that problem im looking for something they sell for the five point harness to stay more securely intact..

I did a lot of research on several Light weight strollers, before settling for this one, based on the reviews and the best selling items. My son who's 3+ yrs old is 42" tall and none of the light weight strollers seemed to accomodate his height...I bought the MacLauren stroller from Target only to find his head dangling backwards as there's a gap b/w the seat and the canopy.Finally I chose this one on amazon and belive me the amazon best selling items never dissappoint you...The customer reviews are worth considering and I was happy i did...It's a great stroller , light weight, easily foldable and I just don't have to excert pressure to push the stroller, ...It goes upto 40 lbs and that's awesome..The features are very much same as the Maclauren, except that this's more comfortable for the kid and seems more durabl too..and yah..it's a $20/0 less too...The pricing on amazon was just great....I highly recommend this product to tall kids...They just don't have to stoop any more sitting in a stroller....

I bought this stroller for my 2 year old. I have big kids and needed something that would last awhile with their height and weight. This stroller is awesome. It is strong and durable, but also light and compact. I have used it alot since I purchased it and it goes anywhere and everywhere. The great thing is that my 5 year old still can fit in it. I would say the only draw back that I have seen so far is there is not a cup holder or tray. Other than that, it is wonderful!!!

Graco IPO Stroller in Soho
br /
br /After a lot of searching for a lightweight stroller with big stroller amenities, I chose the Graco IPO. . it arrived very quickly, had very little assembly, and I am very pleased with it! It folds compactly like an umbrella stroller, but the handles are much taller and I am not kicking the wheels or hunched over trying to push it! I love the reclining seat and nice sized canopy. . .The storage basket is on the small side, but big enough for necessities. . .the only thing I am missing is the cup holders, but I have seen several after market add ons to solve this problem. . .I have three kids and would definitely recommend this product! It accomodates up to 50 pounds so you are definitely getting plenty of bang for your buck!

I was looking for a quality umbrella stroller without paying a fortune. After doing a lot of research online and going to Babies 'R Us to test drive this stroller it was the best stroller with the most options. I had searched for less expensive umbrella strollers but they were always missing something, a basket, full recline, sunshade, weight limits too low. Finally I found one that offered all of the above and at a reasonable price. What I liked about this stroller was it's ease to open and close, the basket is easy to get too and holds a good amount of diapers such, and it handles very well through crowds. With the purchase of the Buggy Buddy cupholder it was perfect.

i bought this product because i want to have a lighter stroller during the summer.
br /
br /it's lighter than the travelling system but much heavier than any other light weight stroller. i don't mind the extra few pounds and it's much steadier compare to others light weight stroller.
br /
br /but it is not easy to push around, especially in the mall. the front wheels somehow have problem to row properly on very smooth surface. i have to use strength and concentrate really hard to make sure the stoller does not go side way and bump others.
br /
br /plus, the canopy is really a waste of space and doesn't protect my baby from the sun at all.

I purchased this stroller for my tall and thin 2 yr old. He has outgrown his Graco Quattro Tour stroller and while I could have changed strollers long ago, I wasn't committed to looking for a new one until I realized I had to because his knees touched the tray in front of him. We aren't joggers or outdoorsy-type people, and while the jogging strollers are great for taller kids they seemed too bulky for day-to-day use. I really like this Graco IPO stroller. It is small enough for shopping easily in malls or stores and has a small basket under the seat to store merchandise while shopping. The stroller can handle my purse hanging from the handles on the back without my son riding in it! I also like that it folds up very small and will recline. The reclining feature is a little strange, but it works! It doesn't stand alone, but I don't find this to be as a problem. I am very happy with this stroller, and very happy that I didn't have to spend $$$.

I was looking for a small stroller that offered the big stroller option, after searching I found this one, it's great, you can't beat the price. it has a nice storage basket that holds more then it looks, it lays back for napping, has a decent canopy, buckles up easily, folds compactly, and even has a carry handle. I really love this stroller but the few things I would like to change would be the canopy doesn't block the sun as much as I would like it to.

I have bought over 5 strollers in the last 2 years, I had them all; The Maclaren Quest,Maclaren Volo, the Combi, the Chicco Caddi, the Britax, Some of these look nice, but my son felt constricted to them without the freedom of movement. The Graco Ipo is the best stroller I have ever bought! I wish I bought this stroller a year ago, it would have saved me alot of disapointments. The only con is that it is a bit heavier than the one's mentioned, but it is nice looking, the wheels are much bigger, and your child has the option of a 3 or 5 restraining belt. Which is what I was looking for. My son doesn't cry when he is on his Graco Ipo!!!!

I needed a heavy duty stroller for my large baby who wieghts almost 50 pounds. It works and prove being excelent in funcionality and price.

I really like this stroller in dark brown- the color hides dirt/skid marks from wheels. The only thing I don't like about the stroller is the sun shade. I ended up taking it off the stroller because it would pop off all the time. There is plenty of storage underneath and you can hang a bag from the stroller handle. The seat reclines more than I would like, but if you have a bag underneath- it props up the seat. It is easy to open and close and overall it's a good stroller for the price. Also, the Sunshine Kids stroller Buggy Buddy works great with this product and it will fold up with the stroller.

I bought this to replace my Combi lightweight/compact stroller which my daughter has outgrown. She's 5, but I still find her wanting to ride or be carried. The combi became increasingly more difficult to maneuver with a larger child. This Graco IPO more than accommodates her (she's about 38 lbs) and I have complete control and maneuverability. The storage area under the seat is more than enough room for whatever I've needed so far. Plus the dual handles make for places to hang bags when shopping.

I love this stroller. It's nice and compact. It's just what I need for my two year old when I travel. The multi reclining seat is perfect for when my child falls asleep and it's easy to manuever.
br /I am very happy with this product.

The stroller works great for its purpose. It's lightweight and I love the option to lock wheels if need be.
br /However, I must say I'm disappointed that Graco couldn't design a more sturdy canopy. Most kids will play with it given any chance and it falls off the frame. As mentioned, it also doesn't cover very much of the child's face.

We love this stroller. We have a Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe and while it was great when our son was an infant, it gets to be just too big and heavy for daily use. It was hard to maneuver in stores, sidewalks, etc. The new Graco IPO is the perfect cross between a larger stroller and those flimsy umbrella style strollers. While being larger, it still folds up like an umbrella stroller making it very compact and easy to store and carry. It isnt quite as light as a true umbrella like the Maclaren but it is much sturdier and just a little larger. That little bit makes a huge difference in comfort for both the kid and the parent. My wife and I are both fairly tall and the standard umbrella stroller are just too low to comfortably push around. The IPO is as comfortable to push as our big Quattro. Also most umbrella strollers have really tiny wheels that are useless on anything but the smoothest of surfaces. The IPO wheels are a decent size and can roll over cracks on rougher surfaces with ease. The stroller actually has a decent sized basket that you can use to store things. It is very stable, we can hang a heavy diaper bag on the handles and it does not tip over. Over all I couldnt recommend this enough to anyone looking for a lighter weight stroller.

Excellent product! folds nicely, unfolds easily, truly one hand operation. Very comfortable and easy to handle and maneuver. Great for travelers.

We already have a big bulky stroller and were looking for something small that folded up to become nice and compact. The Graco Ipo is perfect. It's not as sturdy as the larger stroller but does the job when needed. We recommend it!

After my two boys outgrew both our Graco travel system and the duoglider, I needed something lightweight for my 2 year old. This is perfect! It saves space in the car when we travel with it and is very comfortable for my son to ride in. It is a bit heavy for an umbrella stroller, but on the upside it is also very sturdy. I can put lunchboxes and other items in the basket under the seat and hang my purse, diaper bag and shopping bags on the handles and it does not tip when my son gets out. I found it to be extremely easy to put together ( I didn't even have to consult my husband) and have had no problems with it so far. We've traveled all summer with it. It is even comfortable enough for my 3 year old when he is tired.

I needed a stroller that was easy to get in and out of my honda civic. This is a great umbrella stroller for that. Really light, EASY to open and close and get in and out of my car. Small basket underneath has enough of space to hold a few items. My only complaint- the sunshade does not come out far enough to provide shade for my baby's eyes.

I was toying with the idea of getting a MacLaren, Chicco or Combi umbrella stroller. Don't look any further!!! This stoller is perfect. It reclines, it washes well (yes, we've owned it a day and already have made a mess in it!), my son seems to be comfortable, the handles are a great height, the canopy is awesome (you can see through the top!). Buy this stroller - you will love it.

Like the stroller, specially back support seems good. Usually umbrella strollers don;t have such good back support.
br /Easy to fold unfold.
br /
br /Only thing which it lacks is the weight, it is almost as heavy as normal strollers, I was hoping it to be little bit lighter for easy carrying around. Also the foot rest is little short, so it is not comfortable for kid to sleep.
br /
br /Overall serves the purpose of sturdy compact stroller.
br /

I love this stroller. it is heavier than other umbrella strllers, which is a bonus. It doesn't feel flimsy like the lighter weight imbrella strollers. My daughter is 7 months old and very squirmy. it is easy to fold and lift with one hand which is priceless if you live in a large city. I just wish it had a bar across the front and it would be perfect. I have no complaints, it handles nicely and the price was awesome.

This stroller is an amazing deal. It folds and opens so easily. I love the 5 point harness. And it is so easy to recline the seat when my little one is sleeping or raise it when she wakes. I only gave it 4 stars because it is a little heavy, at almost 20 pounds, but it is a wonderful stroller.

This stroller is the best! I bought it to use with my grandchildren (9!) when they visit. Each of my daughters(4) wanted it when they saw it. Strongly built but lightwieght. Attractive and easy to use. Suitable for a younger child or an older one. This stroller has a good size storage area underneath as well as a sun shade. The only thing it lacks is a cup holder. You will not go wrong with the Graco IPO.

This is a nice stroller. I bought this one over the Chicco Capri because it can hold up to a 50 pound child, has a multi position recline and I have a 2 year old and 4 year old. The only 2 negative comments I have is the way the seat reclines and the adjustable leg rest. I like the fact that it reclines all the way, but my 4 year old is less than 40 pounds and when he sits in it, his weight reclines the seat pretty far back, although he doesn't seem to mind, and there is no way for me to make the seat sit fully upright when he is in it. Also, I don't see the point in the adjustable leg rest. Either mine doesn't work properly or it was just a poor design. OVERALL, I like this stroller. It folds up nicely, doesn't take up a lot room when folded, strolls nicely, and looks nice.

I am so pleased with this stroller, I can't say enough great things about it. It is easy to open, close and use. It is light, efficient and got me back outside walking on a consistent basis. I highly recommend this stroller to anyone looking for a good, quality, easy to use "must have".

I was looking for a stroller that reclined, had a basket, and was light weight and easy to carry around. This stroller has all three.

Got this Graco IPO umbrella stroller for my 20 mo old baby. He seems quit content in it and hasn't complained. After having 3 Maclaren strollers (techno, triumph and rally twin), I can say: cons are that this stroller is smaller and heavier, narrower than the maclaren, the sunshade is not that good b/c it doesn't cover all that much, the seatback is short (my son's head bulges out the fabric when he lays down) not an issue on the maclaren, the foam handles are kinda rough, the locking latch is manually done, not automatic like the Mac does, and I have to try not kick the back of the wheels with my long stride (although I am only 5' 4" and never an issue on the Mac).... the pro's is the folding mechanism is quite easy to use, but you have to bend down to do it, the basket is fully lined (the Mac is mesh), the 5 pt harness is easier to adjust, the price is much lower (got my IPO on sale for $53), the stroller is rides smooth and pushes easily with one hand if needed and the recline strap is easy to use. I think for the money it's a good choice, but overall I think Maclaren wins for umbrella strollers (if you have the extra money to put out for one).

I bought this stroller for it's wider frame and compactness. I had this stroller for about three months and was very satisfied...then the seat started to recline whenever my son was sitting in it. We had to use a bungy cord to hold the seat in an upright position. I tried to return it to the store I had bought it from but it had exceeded the 45 day return policy. Graco is replacing the fabric portion of my stroller but I have no doubts that the same thing will happen after a short time of use. At $130.00 I consider this stroller to be a very expensive piece of garbage.

I was excited when I found this stroller. I thought it was a great price for a reclining umbrella stroller but this is a case of you get what you pay for and the low price is not a value. The canopy on this stroller is terrible, that is my biggest complaint. I have since replaced it with a Baby Planet stoller.
