Thought I did enough research.

I'm going to write the review I wish I had been able to come by when considering this stroller for myself and my son. Certain days I would LOVE to throw this dumb stroller out of the window. So, let's get down to it. Do you like heavy, uncompact, wide strollers? No? Not even if it CAN'T handle grass very well despite the large back tires? What about if you need to completely forget about going over any sort of sand smoothly? This stupid $600 piece of junk... The reason I bought it was due to the footrest type [adjustable, seperate footstand long enough accomodate growing legs] and the large basket. What I mean by large basket isn't the little dinky [I do mean tiny, and useless] dirt catcher on the bottom. I mean the $60 add on. The one that you can't fold the stroller with it attached. The one that's akward to carry. The one that you can't use when the stroller is reversed. Oh. And you can't fold the stroller when it's in reverse mode either. Fancy that? So, you try to get this dumb stroller in your car and you need to first take the bumper bar off and, assuming your child was facing you, take the seat off as well. Not an easy task for weak fingers. Then you take your empty shopping basket off and, again, assuming your car is full, put it beside you to empty into your car and fold after you've picked up this THIRTY POUND monster of a pushchair. Oh. And it doesn't lock closed. YAY. So you get to break your back and reach over to grasp the opposite wheel while remembering to grasp the same bar attached to the telescoping handle on YOUR side. So by this time you're tired and possibly [usually] annoyed. Don't forget to empty and fold your basket now! Okay. So, getting out of the car. You put the refilled basket on the ground beside you where the sides drop down. Dropping everything you've just spent time placing in the DUMB basket. Then you grab the stroller and flop it in the parking lot. Try to unlock it to get it up and what's that? The toy on the stroller [attached using those colourful links] is wrapped around the wheel. Guess you forgot to place it in the seat while remembering the 10 other steps involved in folding the stroller. Place the seat back on the chasis after wrestling it open. Don't forget about the massive, useless prongs just under the seat. If they're not in the right spot, your stroller won't fit back together. Kay. Basket put toether again and attached, child in, bumper bar on... let's recline the child. Alright, so, IMPOSSIBLE to push recline button. It refuses to be pressed in easily, you snap your thumb back trying to jam it in before realizing, duh, you need to put your other hand on the back of the seat and shove it forward, THEEEN it'll recline. Right. Okay. Now rip the heavily [stupid, STUPID designers of this stroller, damn you on this idea] velcroed[sp?] peekaboo window open. Stare down at your child... he's thrusting to get out of the seat. Feel the seat once you get back home... six month's into use the padding is flat and your child may as well have been laying on the floor for the past few months. Wow. I paid how much for this again? Oh... right... I got that raincover inclu... oh... right, the raincover was extra as well. But atleast I got the diner tra... oh... no. Dinner tray is extra too. But that's fine, the raincover lasted rig... oh. No! Hah. No... the teeth on the zipper teeth broke, again, six months after use. Six months off Summer/Fall! I hate... hate... HATE... this stroller. Do not buy it. Please. For the love of humanity, do NOT buy this stupid, stupid, STUPID idea of a stroller. All other reviews are obviously written within the first few days of receiving the stupid thing, not after prolonged use.Pros
Uhh...?I suppose... the break works well. :3
And... I like the footrest...
... yeah.
Cons
Stupid design.'Accessories' should have come with the stroller. [Cup holder, raincover, storage basket, dinner tray.]
Huge when folded. Takes up the entire trunk and then some. [Civic]
Small 'stock' basket.
No parent cup holder. [Extra for a Stroll-Air console]
'Lite' is not lite. It means it will not go over grass or sand and comes with foam handlles. 'Next' means it will not go over grass or sand and comes with leather handles.
Added $60 doller basket loses it's space when the child seat is on rather than the carseat. [Carseat adapter, EXTRA.]
No shocks, how... shocking. 600 bucks for a bumpy ride. With a terribly padded seat. Yay!
Small canopy, does not block out sun unless you're facing away from the damn sun.
Uncomfortable seat.
Need to rethread the shoulder straps manually, which is made more difficult by all the IMPOSSIBLE to get apart, let alone press back together, snaps. Half of mine stay undone to this moment. I've given up.
Hard to wash.
In the end don't waste your time or money on this wide, short, heavy, bulky, uncomfortable, over priced piece of junk. K? =D
