Customer Reviews

Nice looking, good performance, but a lot of plastic for the money.
This is a very nice stroller, and the looks are great.
PROS: The fabric is much higher quality than what you would find on a cheaper stroller and the padding is much nicer.
Once you learn how to open and close it is very easy to do. It was pretty easy to put together, I did mine 9 months pregnant in less than 20 mins.
The sun shade is amazing. If the seat is upright, the shade covers almost the whole child.
The basket can accomodate a large diaper bag or a bag of groceries.
The wheels are very easy to use, it turns very well.
The ride is very cozy for children.
The recline is easy to do and it reclines fully.
The child tray is great and very easy to use.

CONS: an awful lot of this stroller is made of plastic.
The folded size is huge compared with umbrella strollers, but it will still fit in a normal trunk, it will just take up most of it, but is a lot smaller than other travel system strollers.
The adult cup holder is odd, I removed mine to avoid breaking it when folding it.
The first few times I opened and closed the stroller, it took two adults to do it because even with the directions we found it confusing.
The stroller is a bit big for aisles in stores and is sized a bit more for the suburbs than the city.
The harness attachment is odd.
When used with the car seat, it can be difficult to know when it is secure as both the stroller and the carseat make the same click noise.

Absolutely Love It!!!
I purchased a 2007 model brand new in late 2008 to save money. The 2007 model and 2008 models are identical with exception of color choices so I am reviewing the 2008 model. We purchased the Toffee (we wanted Moka, but saved over $100 by getting the previous model year in a similar color through[..].

This stroller is FABULOUS!!! We have used it with my newborn for a month now and love it! We have not tested the harness on anything but a stuffed animal because we haven't used it without the Viaggio car seat (which we also love), but so far this stroller has been amazing.

It is very light which is one of the main reasons we purchased it. I am a short (5' 1"), not very strong woman and I can easily fold/unfold it and move it in and out of the back of my SUV. The thing corners like a dream and is so easy to move through the store aisles. The shocks are amazing! We have rolled it over many rough surfaces with the baby asleep and he barely jiggled and has never woken. My husband is 5' 10" and we are both comfortable pushing the stroller around thanks to the height adjustable handles.

It does take some practice to use at first. Opening and closing it can be confusing at first, but once you do it successfully a few times it becomes second nature. I have only put the car seat on the stroller twice and am still finding it a little difficult, but my husband (who usually attaches the car seat to the stroller) can do it effortlessly now.

My only complaints about this stroller are that the seat doesn't rotate so the baby can face you (and I didn't think it worth the $500 it costs to get this feature in the Pliko Switch) and the basket is pretty worthless. It's difficult to get things in and out of the basket, it doesn't hold very much, and what it does hold is limited to what you can squeeze into the teeny, tiny access area on the sides of the basket between the top of the mesh and the bottom of the stroller frame.

I found this stroller to be worth every penny and would recommend it to anyone.

Updated August 09: I have one more complaint. The adult cup holder is flimsy and ours did finally break off. However, I was at BRU the other day and the new model of this stroller was in. They have moved and strengthened the cup holder and made the freedom of movement harness even better.

Just Okay
I'm not a huge fan of this stroller. I had a Graco Metrolite and a Bob Ironman jogging stroller for my 3 year old son. I loved both. I purchased this stroller primarily because it claimed to have a toddler stand and ride feature. That is completely useless - the seat needs to be completely upright and the canopy off and even then, it is very difficult for my 3 year old to hold on. As for the other features, I don't feel the same quality that other reviewers speak of. The cup holder broke right away, the seat recline mechanism doesn't work well, and the breaks seem flimsy. Pros: It is easy to fold, attractive, and the snack tray is great. I'm not completely displeased with the purchase, I just don't think it's worth the extra $$.
