I love this stroller. It is so maneuverable and will last my baby forever. This model comes with a car seat frame so that you can make your own "travel system," as well as a regular seat that can reverse from facing the parent to facing outward, and lasts to 50 lbs, so you can use this for years. I can't imagine why you'd spend the money on those bulky plastic travel systems. The car seat holder and regular seat just snap in and out, and it's very easy to change from one to the other and to reverse the direction of the seat.
I was looking for a stroller mostly for outdoor use and exercise, and this is an all-terrain stroller that fits the bill. While it's not specifically marketed as a jogging stroller, you can lock the front wheel and I imagine it would do great. With the front wheel swiveling, though, you can turn this stroller on a dime, and can steer it with one finger. Easy and fun to steer this. It's very stable and is definitely all-terrain. It's winter now, but this stroller has done great on frozen snow ruts and has easily cruised along when I've gone up onto grass on one wheel and sidewalk on the other. Also, the brake system is extremely secure and I feel confident that the stroller isn't going to roll off on me. Can't wait to take this out this summer.
In my opinion, this stroller works great for indoor shopping as well. Like I said, it's extremely maneuverable. It is a bit wider than 4-wheel strollers, but I don't think that narrow aisles are a problem most places where you'd shop with this. I also think it folds down to a reasonable size (and very easily) and isn't too heavy. If you had a compact car, this might not fit comfortably into your trunk if you planned to take this stroller in your car, though. Not an issue for me and probably won't be an issue for most people.
The stroller has 2 cup holders for parents and a tray big enough to stash your phone, keys, wallet, whatever. The basket underneath is big enough for me - it's easier to access from the front of the stroller than from the "driver" side, if that's a concern. There's a sippy cup holder for baby with the the seat.
If you're interested in the car seat holder, it is a frame in which the seat sits, with a seat belt attached to the frame that runs over the seat to secure it to the stroller. You do not latch the seat onto the frame, but I've found it to be extremely secure for my little one. The car seat adapter (if you want/need it) ONLY works with the following models of car seat: Baby Trend Flex-Loc, Baby Trend Latch-Loc, Chicco Key Fit, Cosco Designer 22, Cosco First Ride DX, Evenflo Discovery, Evenflo Embrace, Graco Safe Seat, Graco Snug Ride, Graco Snug Ride 32, Maxi-Cosi Mico, Peg Perego Primo Viaggio, Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP, Safety 1st Designer 22, Safety 1st Starter Series.
Not terribly difficult to assemble. All you need is a Phillips head screwdriver. The directions aren't spectacular, but there's not too much to do and I figured it out during baby's short nap, so I'd rate it easy to assemble.
Overall, I just love this stroller and look forward to getting out with baby in it. I researched a lot of strollers before settling on this one, and I'm glad I did.

You'd be hard pressed to find a reverse-facing stroller any where near this price (most are $400+). If you have a baby that freaks out if mommy is out of sight like mine does, this stroller is a lifesaver. And when/if baby is ready to see more of the outside world you simply turn the seat around. But even with the seat in the reverse position the stroller is large and roomy and baby can still see plenty out the sides and around the parent. The parent bar is great, fits any drink I've had and the tray easily fits an iPhone, keys, snack, etc. and the storage basket is enormous. My baby is 9 months old and has a lot of room to grow - my 3 year old could comfortably ride in it. The only possible negative for some might be that it is pretty heavy and quite large. I however, like that its big and sturdy, makes it a breeze pushing it on sidewalks, grass, gravel, etc. It turns great and folds down easily and relatively small.

This stroller is great, it has all the features I've wanted and could only find in $600+ strollers. If you have read a negative warning regarding this stroller's safety on consumer reports, please be aware that that warning is with regards with the previous version of the stroller. Even so, the warning made me paranoid, so I strapped my infant car seat on the stroller and picked it up, tipped it, turned it up-side-down, shook it, dropped it, kicked it, etc. The thing held completely solid. When properly installed, the car seat will hold way more tightly than the non-universal infant carrier systems sold by Gracco, or Chico, etc.
My only negative, is that when installed with the seat facing backwards, the stroller does not fold down as well as when the seat faces forward. We usually end up removing the seat or facing it forward when storing. This is a small price to pay, however. I don't even know if the more expensive rear-facing strollers have this problem or not.
Awesome stroller for the price April 27, 2010

This stroller is a fabulous deal. Similar to the pricey ones, but very affordable. We got it because you can flip the seat around to face the parent. It also reclines nicely, so it becomes very pram-like when facing us and my son easily takes naps in it. Yes, it is a little heavy and yes, you have to flip the seat back to fold it....but it is absolutely worth the extra effort so that my son can have a solid, smooth, comfy ride. Studies show that children do better developmentally when they can see (and interact) with their parents while riding in the stroller. It also prevents him from getting overstimulated. The only drawback is that it takes up my entire trunk...but that is because I drive a small car. I highly recommend this stroller to everyone.
good buy February 26, 2010

We bought this stroller for our 2nd child. With our first we tried many strollers and was not too pleased with any of them. I will start with the cons for this stroller
1. extra wide wheel base- Even though this stroller can turn on a dime the wheels in the back make tight squeezes difficult.
2. It's heavy. We are only using the car seat attachment right now, but it's already pretty heavy.
3. Car seat attachment. Even though we purchased one of the carseats listed that it would fit, ours does not fit exactly right. It fits good enough but we have to use the teather that came with it for added security.
Not really huge issues, especially for the price. Now for the pros
1. Very smooth. I feel like I am pushing a higher end stroller. The baby never wakes up even though I go over bumps in the ground.
2. Huge bottom basket. This stoller has ample space for all of the other baby gear that these little ones seem to need.
3. high push bar. Im not tall by any means, and its comfortable for me. My husband seems to like it as well.
The parent tray is nice to, and for the price we paid I am more than happy with this purchase.
