Pros “Fully assembled, this is a large stroller, but simple to lift and good for any parent who’s out and about often with two little kids. The latch to collapse the stroller is also very easy to manoeuvre and can be done with one hand. It’s very well padded, sturdy and felt secure; it was able to hold the weight of a very active toddler, infant and a full load of groceries.”
Cons “It’s like a high-end mini-van: very sturdy and well made, but also big and bulky, and not as sleek as others. The chaise folds up nicely, but it would be nice if the seats stacked, folded or fit into one another. The steering takes some time to get used to, especially reversing. And there’s no cup holders or snack trays for kids or parent.”
Rating 8/10
