We paid about $300 when we bought the stroller in Apr/May of 06. The handling is excellent (typical of Maclarens), which was what ultimately had DH sold. Seats recline individually but requires 2 hands to do so. The stroller is a bit heavy, but the small umbrella fold allows us to put it in our Camry's trunk even if we have tons of other things in there already.The sunshades are small, but we use a Protect-a-Bub, so it takes care of the problem. The baskets underneath small-ish, but we can fit quite a bit if we use the area underneath the seat for extra blankets, clothes, and other things that we don't need to access frequently. We also find the pockets on the sunshade quite useful for napkins, snacks, etc. There are 2 bottle holders that are attached to the center bar (behind the stroller), but they are quite narrow and IMHO, should have been spaced farther apart. A 16 ounce water bottle is too tall to fit in the lower holder. Since the stroller is quite heavy, we sometimes will hang our Skip-Hop on the handles (typically not recommended) to serve as a parent console for more of our junk.Although we've mentioned some of the quirks with this stroller, we've figured out ways to make it work to suit our needs.
