We've had this stroller for 16 months and overall, we are fairly happy with it. We started using it when DD was around 4 weeks old. With the recline on the seat, it is suitable for a newborn. I never worried about her slipping out or being rattled around when she was tiny. We have used it in city streets, through the airport, over people's lawns, and even through the woods. We've even tried to use it over the beach, although that wasn't quite as successful, especially where the sand was dry.  The stroller has two removable storage pouches on the side, a little storage compartment near the handle, and a large storage area in the bottom. It has two adult cup holders near the handle (on either side of the storage compartment) and two kid cup holders on the tray in front. There is a removable steering wheel toy that goes on the tray, but we haven't used that yet. DD enjoys using the tray with her cereal snacks, so we haven't wanted to take that away from her.The stroller can collapse with one hand, but you have to make sure the wheels line up and that the seat is in the recline position first. I believe the stroller is around 23 pounds and it is on the bulky side. It does fit in our trunk (Saturn L200) with a bunch of groceries, and with fiddling around, it can fit in the front passenger seat. When traveling with luggage, etc., we sometimes have to remove the tray and make adjustments to get everything in the vehicle that's being used, but so far we've managed to get it in.While the stroller is not suitable for jogging, I have run short distances with it when in a hurry. The stroller has a hood that comes over the top of the stroller, and I like that it has a parent's window so you can see the baby, especially when the seat is in the reclined position (so great to check on your newborn). When DD was younger, I often pulled the hood down and then covered the rest of the stroller with a large piece of fabric, in order to shield her from the sun, and so that she could sleep on our walks. It would be nice if there was an easier system for doing this, but I found if I used my ring sling and some safety pins, there were places on the stroller I could easily attach it, including some venting holes on the side of the stroller.While some other features might make this stroller better, I am pleased with this stroller for the price and imagine I'll continue using it through DD's toddler years. I would recommend this as a good basic stroller, especially if you're only planning on getting one stroller.
