 Less is more in this case!Nov 18, 2006
Hi! With my third child, we had to buy this stroller for the THIRD time! As is fitting, it was the first baby purchase my husband ever bought. (It figures that the guy wants to buy the wheels...right?) Every time we've had a child, we buy this stroller, and after our baby weighs above 20 pounds, we start to lend it out. This time I said the heck with it and bought a new one (My friend couldn't find it, even after tracking it past 6 people).
I LOVE THIS STROLLER for many reasons:
1. I get to buy the car seat I want, not a huge, bulky travel system I can't and won't use.
2. It doesn't hog up all of the space in my trunk (where I store it 100% of the time).
3. I can fit my diaper bag and heavy purse in this basket. (The trick is to put these items in prior to putting the car seat on.)
4. It's small and very easy to maneuver.
5. This stroller was allowable for travel right after 9/11. It was considered and umbrella stroller by the TSA. Very important, because my husband is a pilot. (We're at the airport ALL the time).
6. The tray is big enough to hold my drink, the baby's bottle, my keys and sunglasses.
7. It's so easy to maneuver that my 4 year old can steer it fine. It also fit in store aisles where my sister's travel system couldn't with it's monster wheels.
8. I can flip the car seat around depending on where the sun is or where the wind is blowing.
9. I can put my baby in a lean back position or an upright position.
10. Did I mention how lite it is??? After 3 cesareans, you better believe it hurts to lift ANYTHING. I don't like 20-30 pound behemoth's that I have to lift waist level and hurl into the car!
11. Lastly, it's very easy to close and put in the car one-handed. With 3 kids, that's definitely a plus!
The cons:
1. You have to buy a different stroller when your child outgrows the car seat (My husband and I always lament this time for several reasons).
2. If you have another child, you will be buying this again. Why? Because other mom's are envious of the size/weight/maneuverability, and want to borrow it.

Can't believe how cheap it is in the StatesSep 21, 2003
I bought this item in Canada and now that I see how cheap it is in the States, I so wish I had found it before my travels. I payed over $100 in Canada for it which roughy translates to about $75 American these days. I bought it because I needed something light for the car seat between flights. Now I keep it in the car and use it for every shopping trip. I love how small it is and maneuvarable, and how light it is. I also can position my evenflow car seat a little more horizontally when she sleeps by putting it between the bars instead of on it. The only problem I have with it is the almost completely useless basket. The opening doesn't help at all, its almost impossible to put anything in there except for very narrow or small items. Certainly not a diaper bag. I have a big stroller which I keep in the garage and use it for walks around the neighbourhood. So the frame, for the price, is really worth getting, if you have a heavy stroller.

 think twice before buying a large bulky strollerAug 17, 2003
When my daughter was born 11 months ago we purchased a Graco TravelMate stroller. Big mistake - the thing was bulky, difficult to steer, and took up almost the entire trunk space of my car. After two months we switched to the SnapNGo which we found at ToysRUs instead. This basically became our travel system which we actually used with two different infant car sets (Century and Evenflo). We used the SnapNGo exclusively from age 2 months to about 10 months. We even used it indoors sometimes to motion baby to sleep. Pros: compact, easy to fold/unfold, sturdy frame, good parent tray, and large basket. Cons: my wife says it's still kind of heavy, front wheels cannot be locked from turning, switching between certain types of car seats require you to unscrew one support bar and reposition it, and faster growing babies will most likely outgrow their car seat (and hence the SnapNGo) in much less than our 10 months.

Perfect - No problems at all with this oneAug 13, 2003
This is the best stroller I have ever bought! I wish I had it when my first child was born. I bought this when my son was 1 month old and it made running a lot of little errands easier. The brakes are good, the parent tray is good, and even the valet at the hospital knows how to close it! It's easy to steer and has proven to be very durable.

SOOOOOO MUCH MORE COVENIENT THAN A TRAVEL SYSTEM!Aug 09, 2003
I too bought, and barely used, a bulky travel system. Fortunately, I also bought this! My trunk is tiny, but this fit in there easily with plenty of room for my shopping! I had a very difficult post-partum period and was on strict orders not to lift anything heavy for months - so there is no way I could have used my bulky (and heavy) stroller.My very strong recommendation for any Moms-to-be (or thoughtful friends or relatives) is to find an infant car seat that has all the features you are looking for and buy this stroller. Later you will need another stroller, but by that time you will have a much better idea of the type of stroller that will actually fit your (and your baby's) needs (your new lifestyle will probably differ considerably from what you imagine it will be prior to baby's arrival). There is not a travel system out there that will have every feature you want or need in both a car seat and stroller. By buying this way, you will get exactly what you are looking for out of both items, and in the meantime - your back (and your trunk) will definately thank you! By the way, this stroller can be easily: lifted out of (or back into) your trunk; opened; folded back up - all while holding your baby in his or her heavy baby carrier with your other hand. How many travel system strollers can say that?
