i bought this stroller from the internet, not real life, because i live in the sticks. the picture looked like what i needed - lots of storage. no, not just for coats or diaper bags, but for my former preemie's oxygen tank. the tank isn't that big, but it doesn't bend! anyway, while this stroller's under-carriage sling looks really roomy, THE STROLLER CROSS-BARS ARE STRAIGHT ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF IT!! not at the bottom, giving support to the sling, but in the horizontal middle. so, there are essentially four extremely small, rigidly defined triangular spaces. not enough for a diaper bag, maybe enough for a small coat rolled tightly or a small tote bag, definitely enough for a diapee-wipee kit or a blanket. i have a hard time worming the tank in, but it does fit which keeps the stroller from being useless. he should be off the oxygen this summer and this will be less of a bummer then, but still - a stroller with no room for a diaper bag? what were they thinking?some small things - i wish the handles extended some, and i'm only 5'7". i wish the toe tab to lock the stroller open was a bit larger since it's hard to get leverage on it to snap it. the shoulder strap pads are a lovely blue, on the padding side, which goes next to the baby. black is what shows.some great things - love how it folds. that's very easy once you've done it a time or two. it's very compact folded, and lifts into the car easily. the side bars are a good size for those toy holding rings. it's wonderful that the cup holder can be put on either side since i'm a leftie & want it on the left. it pushes great except in loose sand or deep gravel. you can lay the baby down one-handed (though need two to sit him back up). love the stylish look of it and the pretty blue. the canopy is fairly easy on & off.overall, i like it a lot and i'll like it more when i don't have to worry about the tank. still, i can't love it because i purposely bought it for storage & it doesn't have much.

This is a good stroller. We love the handling of it, but Daddy has a tiny bit of trouble kicking the wheels when pushing it (he is 5' 9"). The basket is a good size, and you can put a lot in it (the main the reason we chose it over the Maclaren). It folds nice and compact, but is sometimes difficult to find the latch that opens it up--not a one-handed operation. The biggest problem I have is that my small twitchy toddler has rubbed and kicked her feet enough to make the front of the seat fray a bit after 6 months or less. We also took it "off road" once, and the wheel seems to have bent a little bit (but probably normal for this type of stroller)
