To be fair, this is a review of the 2003 model. We bought the stroller because it fit with our car seat with the car seat attachment bar, and it folded fairly small. It was ok when used with the car seat - but you completely cannot get to anything in the basket while the car seat is in place or while the seat is reclined. It was also a good stroller for letting DS lie flat when he was tiny. That's about where the good parts end. We first had issues with the brakes rubing on the wheels and causing drag while not engaged - which was fixed by shaving some width off the wheels with a knife. We have had issues with it being wobbly or causing drag for no obvious reason from time to time. The window to peek in at your little one in this model year was in the back, so you couldn't see him when sitting upright and you have to bend over and shade your eyes to see when he's reclined. The cushions were really hard to get on and off to clean - don't have anything to compare to, but I wrestled with the thing for 20 minutes litterally to get the padding on or off. The latch that keeps it folded has broken, so no longer catches automatically or stays catched against any kind of stress. Almost impossible to unfold while holding baby. Impossible to fold or unfold without shoes on. The sun shade only shades from behind or directly above, so sun from the sides or front is not blocked - the sun shade is not adjustable. No snack tray or any conveinence items for adult or child. We found this on sale for $200, and would defineatly not pay that much again. Finally, One of the rear wheels popped off the other day (where, I have no idea), and although the other wheel is still there, the brake is dragging against it. We've only used it for 9 months, and have to find something else.
