The Espresso has worked wonderfully for us as our car stroller. It is cushy enough for naps & lightweight enough to drag it in & out of the trunck w/o causing a hernia!Not super lightweight, but not bad. I'm able to carry it one handed if I have to. It does have a true one hand fold, which is super helpful. The stroller doesn't fold as compact as an umbrella type stroller but fits in our Subaru Forester with plenty of room to spare. It also stands by itself when folded. Quick & easy to get it in & out of the car. It has suspension tires for a smooth ride, one hand steering, comes with a rain shield & footmuff, cushy seat, large basket, and a height adjustable handle. The Espresso doesn't recline all the way, but DS has been very happy in it. He naps in it w/o a problem. We have used the stroller since he was 4 months old. Now that he is older I do wish that it had a level that was more upright, even the most upright setting has a bit of a recline.The canopy is pretty skimpy but fine for trips that don't involve lots of sunlight. When we travelled with the stroller we added a protect-a-bub for extra sun protection. (By the way, the Espresso fits through the Xray machine when folded, so you don't have to go to a special line)Overall I'm glad I bought it. I wouldn't like it as well for a neighborhood walk type of stroller, but Chicago sidewalks can be pretty rough. But as a car/travel stroller it is great. My only regret is that I should have bought the red one!
