I anxiously awaited the arrival of our Pink Driver 4xl! Pulled it out of the box and loved the color, texture and overall mood of the stroller. It is so beautiful, I didn't even want to test it out! It has all the same features as the Spider Duo we have, but the steering mechanism is different. The wheels do not turn 360 degrees, they just pivot. Since I have had the honor of being spoiled by the new NV SS model, I do not like the half pivoting wheels. The tires are very large and it is VERY hard to turn around corners especially tight corners. Price is $660PROS:-aluminum chassis

-one handed steering (in a straight line)
-comfy seat (my kiddos fought over who was going to get in it)
-pure comfort for kids with adjustable seat and legrest
-awesome shocks and smoooooooth rideCONS: -wheels don't swivel 360 (only swivel about 60 degrees each direction
-hard to make tight turns
-front tires make it hard to get into doorways from an angle
-front tires are wider than the stroller itself, making it a bulldozer at times (I clipped a few ankles in passing.....oooops)If you would be using this stroller for outdoor walks, off road, all terrain......this is an awesome stroller, but it isn't the greatest for supermarkets, malls or any other kind of shopping or outing that means a lot of turning and tight corners. I definitely suggest upgrading to the new model with the 360 rotating wheels. IMO, the 3xl or 4xl NV SS are the better deal and are also available in pink(nv ss), black, red and navy blue (apple green and orange will be available early 2006!) To be honest, I think I will pitch this one and get the Driver 3xl or the new Driver 4xl NV SS....both have 360 rotating wheels!I will post lifeshots of the stroller w/ all accessories soon!
