We bought it in Hawaii from Kelsey's for about $150. Overall, it's okay for mall use and short walks. It's lightweight and sets up in a jiffy. The handle does feel a little loose and it's difficult to steer one-handed. Also the front fixed locks and brakes are difficult to set if you have big feet/shoes that don't fit between the wheels. Also it's not very good on grass or bumpy sidewalks.Infant head support doesn't help as it's too high up, so our baby's head never was quite where it would provide support. Shoulder straps were a bit twisty and also too high above the shoulders. Our baby is 3 mos and it's still to high. Since the leg openings seemed like she could slide out when in a partial upright position, we used the zippered enclosure that zips around the padded bar in front. This made me feel more at ease using it, but by the end of our walk around the block, she would be all the way down and her legs looked cramped from the enclosure. The middle strap between her legs seemed to be too low which is what makes the infant headrest useless. The tiny basket is pretty much useless and the cup holders are a bit small. The cup holder attachment also doesn't stay on the metal clips when you fold the stroller. Also the canopy is really small and doesn't help with the sun, especially when the seatback is reclined. There were issues opening it with the infant carrier attachment as it gets stuck on the canopy when you are trying to open the stroller. I like it well enough for trips to the store and short walks on smooth sidewalks, but now we are looking for a good all-terrain stroller for bumpy sidewalks and park grass. One thing that I noticed helped with the recline, is that if you shorten up the carrying straps, it helps support the recline, since the cord recline adjustment is rather flimsy.
