Customer Reviews
Great stroller in a small package!
I cannot say enough good about this stroller, but my absolute favorite feature is the adjustable handles. At first I purchased the regular xsport w/o the adjustable handles, but I kicked the tires as I walked and it drove me crazy. So, I returned that one and ordered this one from Amazon. I'm 5'8" and it is the perfect height. My husband is 6'1" and its even comfortable for him. I love that the canopy swivels forward to cover my son's face when we're walking towards the sun. The little storage basket underneath is small, but most umbrella stroller don't come with one at all so it's a nice bonus place for diapers or snacks. It is still compact when you fold it up as well. I have a chubby 2 1/2 year old that likes to walk, but he gets tired quickly so I wanted something that he could get in and out of easily, but would support his weight. I also wanted one that would have a higher weight limit so we can use it as long as possible. This stoller is perfect for him. His feet acually sit on the foot rest without dangling down like on his old umbrella stroller. This was a great buy and he loves it as much as I do. You won't be disappointed.
WONDERFUL stroller for Vacation or Shopping trips!
After seeing this in Parent's Magazine and reading all the wonderful reviews on Amazon, I decided to get it. It's a GREAT stroller that's hard to beat for only $40 (Christina model)! No bending over when pushing the Sport Plus because the adjustable handles make this stroller a breeze to steer for people of just about any height. Smooth ride, compact with LOTS of features - this stroller is PERFECT for shopping AND vacation trips!
It took less than 5 minutes to assemble too! Open the box, take the stroller and the 4 wheels out of the box; open the stroller and flip it over; pop on the four wheels, then flip the stroller back over! Voilà! It was so easy!!
The adjustable handles are a cool feature - something you don't see on many expensive strollers. I'm 5'4" and my husband is 6'0" and we don't have to bend over at all to push the stroller. It's is very comfortable for both of us and no more kicking the back wheels! At the mall the other day, we saw a man (who was shorter than my husband) pushing his little boy in an umbrella stroller - the poor guy was hunched completely over!
I like the fabric console. It's big enough to hold keys, cell phones, wallets and other small objects. You can leave your purses in the car ladies! The cup holders are nice too - it held my vitamin water (which is wider than a soda can) with no problem.
My Skip Hop Saddle Bag (it holds a few diapers, baby wipes, etc.) attaches to the back of the stroller (just under the fabric console) so I can put toys for Serenity in the basket.
Serenity is comfortable riding too. She fell fast asleep in it at the Zoo the other day. I like the mesh seat pad and the adjustable canopy - GREAT features for summertime vacation trips!
I couldn't decide between this stroller and the Graco IPO Stroller. Both are very attractive, compact, with lots of features. But the IPO is almost twice the price (depending on the model) as the Sport Plus - so that's pretty much what helped me make my choice.
I was searching for a nice, well-made, inexpensive, compact stroller and I've found it!
It's also a VERY practical baby shower gift too. New Mothers will need a good stroller when they get tired of lugging around those HUGE travel systems!
UPDATE (21 July 08): The fabric on the stroller is very easy to clean when it gets dirty. I just used Oxi Clean Laundry Stain Remover to get it looking great again!
We used the stroller at the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas this past weekend, and just LOVED it. I compared it with the other strollers I saw (and there were TONS - cheap & expensive), and I think my Sport Plus was the best! So did other people - I got lots of stares and compliments!
Great stroller with one major drawback
I love this stroller most of the time. It's fairly light and compact, easy to fold, has a roomy storage basket, zippered compartments for keys and snacks, an effective sunshade, and a reasonable price tag. The extendable handles still don't go as tall as I'd like, but they're definitely better than others I've seen. I'm 5'8" and the height is good as long as I'm not walking fast. My biggest complaint is that it has only a lap harness. One time when we were out and about all day, my son (then about 9 mos.) fell asleep in the stroller. He flopped forward so his head hit his knees; then he jerked back up, fell forward again, and so on. If it had a shoulder harness, it would have held him up so he could nap. Ever since then, I've been hauling my other stroller--a heavy but reclining jogger--when I know we'll be out for longer periods of time. I've seen a few of these jazzed-up umbrella strollers that do recline and that advertise taller handle height, too. Part of me wishes I'd shelled out the extra cash for that one so the little guy could take a nap in it when he needs to.
