phil&teds Smart Buggy Review

phil&teds Smart Buggy
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been waiting for this stroller since Jan 2010 and finally its out in the market now (June 2010)!So as the first 'brave' one to review this, here's what i can say...

1) assembly is no brainer! I dont even need to read the manual. But you still have to as you might miss some steps.
2) If 'lightweight' means an umbrella stroller for you, then this Smart buggy is not for you. This is still kindda heavy specially once you have attached the wheels. So lifiting it to/from your car's trunk still needs your 2 strong muscular arms. But if you have the usual 'travel system' of other strollers or those bugaboo -ha! you should be strong enough for this new one.
3) folding/unfolding is very easy (the front wheels are just wiggly when folding). Note that you CANNOT store it standing, unless it is leaning on something steady. It should be laid flat like in your car.
4) yes its very easy to maneuver. Note that the front wheels dont lock.
5) reclining the seat is NOT easy! (but the video shows that you can easily slide the 'clip/fastener') I got my finger pinched 4 times already! ouch! So be careful. Watch that little finger...if you know what i mean...
6) Yes it is compact, but dont expect for a spacious basket underneath. You may need to purchase an extra bag that you can hang on it for your extra stuffs and coffee.
7) some website says the handle is extendable. However, its not said in the manual. I even tried it myself but cant. I hope i'll discover it soon, if its true :(
8) the canopy is made of lycra??? Great idea!
9) the unique core seat is the best!waterproof and wipe clean. My major disappointment is I just hope that the car seat adapter for stroller is easily available.Just like the stroller, this will be another waiting game. They said it'll be available this summer. Let's see...sighhhh...

I want to know your thoughts too... are you happy with your new P&T Smart buggy stroller?

It works well but I wish there was some padding on the bars that came with it that it hooks to. I didn't know I would have to replace my padded bar(with the nice zipper).The new blue and green color does not match my 2 year old model but looks o.k.

Baby Jogger City Micro Single Stroller Review

Being a stroller junkie, this was to be my last stroller purchase.After our Plinko lite tore in the seat and wouldn't fold completely anymore from years of use and impatient airline staff handling, I was on the hunt for one last stroller to fit our needs.Our 33 pound 4 year old still tires after all day walking events like Disneyland or Legoland and Daddy can only carry her on his shoulder for so long.We had rented the strollers at Disneyland and liked them...Baby Jogger.. so I thought I'd check them out.I couldn't justify spending a lot on a stroller for a preschooler who will use it probably only another year or so, so went with the micro.We've taken it to Disneyland (via plane) so far, and it has saved the day with the nieces and nephews at other times.We stayed at a hotel across from Disney and our 4 year old stayed comfy and happy as we trekked for 5 days.We even could push our 7 year old (50 lbs) when he pooped out once on the walk back to the hotel.The steering is great, fold is ingenious, and is very portable.Yes, the storage net is small and the shade isn't huge.After owning Graco, Britax, Plinko, and others umbrellas, this stroller gets high marks in steering and folding.It's not the lightest, but because it folds so slim, it makes toting it around a breeze.

BumbleRide Indie Twin Stroller Review

BumbleRide Indie Twin Stroller

Well this has been another one of many items that I researched to no end. So here is my Opinion.We have a 2 1/2 and a new one on the way. First of all, I really wanted to get this stroller because of all the little features and slightly smaller in length. It was this or a BOB Stride. I read all the reviews on BOB, which are always far better than all other strollers. Just search the stroller category for double stroller here on Amazon. Anyway the reviews for the Bumbleride stroller looked good considering it is a new stroller for 2009.So we went down to look at the Bumbleride and they had the BOB Stride there too.After looking at the two side by side here is what I liked about the Bumbleride; the seats laid almost flat, the cool styling and colors, the lower storage was a bit bigger and easier to get to and it was much shorter front to back. Here is what is did not like; the seat adjustment was a little difficult with our daughter in it, not quite as easy to push as the BOB, the suspension was just a rubber bushing and not very much give, once folded the latches that hold it closed latch, but if try to lift it using the handle the latches pop off and the stroller starts to unfold, which limits you to where you can grab the stroller when putting it in a vehicle, Not good. Every time I made an adjustment whether it was the adjustable handle or the leg rest, I could not get over how cheap it felt. After looking closely at it I noticed that there was so much plastic on this thing. I went to set the parking brake and I felt as if I was going to snap it off at some point. Where the rear wheels connect to the frame and where the suspension sits, is all plastic. This is a major stress point and it is plastic?? The wheels are plastic also. As much as I wanted to convince my wife to get the Bumbleride, I couldn't even convince myself. I don't mind spending this kind of money on a product, but quality has to come before anything else. I refuse to pay almost $700 for a stroller that is full of plastic. I think Bumbleride needs to lower their profit margin and start using more light weight metal. We ended up getting the BOB. It was like comparing a bike from Toys R Us to a bike from a pro bike shop. I think you get the picture. I Know you Bumbleride owners will not like my assessment, but I really wanted it to go the other way. Hey just go and compare the Bumbleride to a BOB and you will see, or just take close look at a Bumbleride construction and decide for yourself. Onee more thing the bob is 30.8" wide and this is 29.5" that is only 1.3" wider. Like I said you decide.

If you think a review about comparing quality and looking at products before buying is not helpful, then maybe you should not be reading this. Yes, Metal it stronger than plastic. :)

Mountain Buggy Duo Double Twin Child Stroller Review

Mountain Buggy Duo Double Twin Child Stroller
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have researched double strollers for a while and 2010 Mountain Buggy Duo seems to be the winner on the US market (I liked some European brands that offer a possibility to switch seats position facing the parent or facing the street, but I was not ready to pay for the shipping from Europe). I liked everything about it and if I had hesitations re 2009 model, even considered EasyWalker duo, which is the next best thing, once they made the changes to 2010 model, I rushed to buy this stroller. So far I didn't discover any cons, only pros:
1) easy to assemble
2) easy to maneuver, front wheels can be locked
3) 2 separate seat canopies
4) works ideally for our family with one newborn, who is in the bassinet and for a 1.6 month old sibling
5) seems to have very strong base (sometimes our 3rd child, 3 y.o takes a short ride in addition to 2 little babies already in the stroller)
6) chili dot color looks sooooo cool: just bright enough to please the eye, not obnoxiously red
7) the storage space is plentiful
All I can say is I LOVE IT!

Baby Jogger City Mini Double Rain Canopy Review

Baby Jogger City Mini Double Rain Canopy
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The rain/wind cover for the Baby Jogger is really great. It's made well and feels like it will last for many years due to the quality of the materials used.
The only issue I have with the cover is that to fully and properly secure it to the front of the stroller, you almost have to get under the stroller to strap the Velcro straps. This is sometimes quite difficult, especially when you're standing out in the rain trying to do this quickly.
Otherwise, this rain cover is really great and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to keep their little one dry and out of the breeze.
