We bought this for our first child, born June 2005. It has served us well from the Mall of America, to airports, walking around the bumpy paths around lakes, to dinner out. Here's what we like best:
- It is stylish and classy.
- It handles on any terrain and turns on a dime.
- Great storage space
- Bassinet flips to face forward or toward whomever is pushing.
- Great for using the carrier, letting baby lay flat (while secured), to letting him ride sitting up.Our only concern is that it isn't conducive to big crowds but, what stroller is? Even umbrella strollers can get in the way.It fits in my Oldsmobile trunk and my husband's Jeep hatch.We would buy this stroller again without question.

I have a love/hate thing with this stroller. For walking around the neighborhood, it can't be beat. This beast has everything (cup holders and compartment for mom, and a snack tray for baby). The napper bar can be adjusted for extra room. It laughs at uneven pavement. It truely has some really great things about it. It was a whole lot of bang for my buck (on sale for $155 with the infant car seat). My husband and I are both very comfortable pushing this stroller. I am 5'7" and he is 6'1" and it fits us perfectly.
I am looking for a lightweight stroller that will be the one that I keep in my car. The Coachrider is a pain to get in and out of my car, and takes up almost every bit of space in the back of my Volvo Wagon. I am, however, going to keep the Coachrider because I can't imagine going for long walks around my neighborhood without it.

I became obsessed with strollers while pregnant. After realizing that I was never going to find the perfect stroller (which, for me, includes large inflatable wheels while also weighing less than 15 lbs) and deciding that it was ridiculous to be considering importing a stroller from Europe, I found a Graco coachrider on clearance. I loved the plush, reversible seat, large canopy that moves 180 degrees, and extra large basket and decided that for the price I might as well give it a try.
It has been wonderful with a newborn. I like that my daughter can nap comfortably while being well-shaded from the sun. I also love the way it handles on sidewalks and in malls. Unfortanately, it doesn't handle nearly as well on grass. The basket allows me to grocery shop without any difficulty lugging the groceries home; it even accomodates large, bulky items.
Getting the folded stroller into the trunk of the car has taken practice. Our mazda protege's trunk must be empty and the stroller has to be loaded just so.
As well, after 3 months of use the wheels have started squeaking. WD-40 has provided some relief from the irritating noise, but hasn't taken it completely.
In all, I would recommend this stroller, particularly if you do a lot of neighbourhood walking or if you plan to be a multi-stroller family.
