Excellent price for very good stroller, February 6, 2008

Pros: Fits my needs
Cons: I kick the wheels, maybe not the best for taller people

I've had my Britax Esprit for 4 months now, and I'm very happy with it. I paid only $60 on albee baby. I think it compares well to the MacClarens that cost 4 times as much. I love the fabric. It's easy to fold and light. The only problem is that it is probably not the best for very tall people. My husband doesn't like it (he's 6 foot 1). Sometimes I kick the wheels, but it's really fine. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a nice looking light umbrella stroller that compares to MacLarens, but costs a lot less.

Pros: Price, adjustable leg rest
Cons: can't steer with one hand

I've had this stroller for close to a year now. But, its the only umbrella stroller I've ever had, so I can't compare it to others. It is our primary stroller but we only use it about once a week (or less).

I like the look of the stroller. It folds up compactly and fairly easily. Until it loosens up a bit, you'll probably need two hands to open it. Doesn't take up much room in the trunk of my car.

The ride is smooth but it is really hard to steer it with one hand. My son seems to be comfortable. Love the adjustable footrest - which I have in in the fully extended position for my 18 month old. The seat back adjusts using a drawstring.

I'm about 5'8" and the handles are high enough. I occasionally kick the back tires but it doesn't bother me. The canopy and basket are on the small side but OK. Behind the seat there is a small pocket to hold a single cup or bottle. Its actually quite useful.

I'm glad I purchased this stroller rather than shelling out more money for a Maclaren. This suits my needs just fine and was very reasonably priced.

Great reclining umbrella stroller, December 4, 2005

Pros: multi reclining positions, adjustable leg rest
Cons: handles need to be longer

I just got this stroller last week and I have been happy with my purchase. I paid $99 for it which is a little pricey for an umbrella stroller but compared to the Maclarens it is a better deal. I love the fabric and the adjustable leg rest. The seat is well padded and my 9 month old seems very comfortable. I wanted a stroller that folds like an umbrella, lightweight, reclines, and durable and I have found it in this stroller. The only complaint I have is the handles could be longer. My feet hit the wheels occasionally which is annoying. I'm tall (5'10) so this may not be a problem for others. Also, it seems a little tight folding but I hoping it will loosen up after more use.
