Pros: light-weight, works well with Connection car seat
Cons: Recline is awful, basket too small to use

I registered for this stroller after reading the positive reviews it received in Baby Bargains. I received the stroller as a gift (I believe our friends paid $99 for it). I am a shorter person so the stroller handle height works okay for me, but not at all for my husband who is 6 feet tall. Handle should be adjustable. Really worked well with the fantastic Connection car seat. I love the fact that it is so light-weight and compact when folded-- has been very easy to travel with. That said, I was surprised at how cheaply made the 5 point harness and recline mechanism appear to be. Our recline actually ended up breaking. The replacement part was back-ordered for 3 weeks. Then, I had to make follow-up phone calls with the company for them to actually send the part to us. The 5 point harness seems to be made of cheaper plastic, as well. We don't even use the straps that attach because they twist. I can't figure out how to not have a ton of slack in the straps, too. The little "shoulder pads" really seem to be made more to conceal the excess slack in the straps than for the comfort of our child. I was really disppointed. The canopy doesn't do much for shading from the sun if it is at an angle. I do like the window in the top of the canopy, however. Doesn't handle well on the street-- definitely best for smooth sidewalks and/or mall-walking as stated in Baby Bargains. I would not register for this stroller again--- but was still really pleased with the way it functioned with the car seat. It's a nice looking stroller. Probably could have just done with a Snap-N-Go, though.
