Lightweight Baby Stroller
- A guided tour of the 2012 Honda CR-VThe Honda CR-V's popularity is not in question. Consistently one of the best-selling (if not THE best-selling) compact SUVs year in and year out, the CR-V has also been a steady reviewer favorite. At the end of 2011, the latest iteration of this model landed in showrooms. We spent some time with it ourselves, and can say without hesitation that the CR-V […]
- Why you shouldn't diet like a celebrityWhile researching our report on the best weight-loss programs, we learned that the key to keeping weight off is making sustainable, long-term changes. If you don't address -- and adjust -- the habits that put the weight on in the first place, it'll just come right back. Still, it's hard to resist the lure of celebrity diets, plans that promise […]
- Facebook's new Timeline and Open Graph apps: How to protect your privacyLove it or hate it, if you're a Facebook user, the new past-sharing visual Timeline (which replaces your profile page) is in your future. Timeline's bringing big-mouthed friends to the party, too, in the form of "Open Graph" apps. These apps can automatically post your non-Facebook online activities onto your Facebook Wall, so if you list […]
- When it comes to tech, it's cool to be practicalCovering consumer electronics means wading through a lot of "ooh, shiny!" devices and "game-changing" innovations, many of which quickly fall by the wayside, replaced by something shinier and cooloer. That's why it's nice to see that some companies are looking to harness technology in a more meaningful way, thinking less about t […]
- House plants you can't killEven with the pleasantly warm weather this week in New York City (thanks global warming), it's hard not to long for a little green right about now. With my notoriously black thumb, I typically shy away from growing houseplants and instead anxiously await the sprouting of my neighbors spring bulbs. Not this year. Intrigued by Home Depot's money back […]
- Phish of the day: Beware tax-season email scamsIf you've noticed an uptick of spam in your junk mail folder lately, you're not alone. Scammers go into overtime around the holidays and into tax season, aiming to trick you into forking over personal information. These email sneak-attacks are called "phishing" and it's nothing new. What is new this year is that a lot of the bogus em […]
- A new and (p)interesting way to shop onlineJust a year ago when I was moving into my first apartment, my cousin sent me an invite to a site she thought could help me shop for my new digs: Pinterest. I will admit: I played around with it, and I just didn't get it; I was overwhelmed by images and I found the interface cluttered. She said I was missing out on something great, and now I'm eati […]
- Unsafe car seats and tires recalled; and mispackaged contraception packs scare consumers againSeveral recalls this week affect the safety of your ride, including two large child car seat recalls, one tire recall and two vehicle recalls. And another oral contraceptive, Lo-Ovral, gets packaged incorrectly.read more […]
- Beauty beware: Hepatitis risk at nail salons and barbershopsI'm a do-it-yourselfer when it comes to nail care, preferring to shape and paint my own talons instead of paying someone else to do it. Apparently, my frugal ways may do more than save me money -- it might also save my health. Nail salon and barbershop patrons may be at risk for hepatitis infection if the tools commonly used -- such as nail files, nail […]
- Are you buying a big-screen TV for the big game?Over the years, the Super Bowl has grown from just being a game for all the marbles at the end of the NFL season to a near-universal day of celebration and parties that even non-fans can enjoy. Sure there's the spectacle of the game itself, but watching all of those "can you top this" commercials has grown into its own national pastime. And no […]
- Hands-on with four good, cheap new carsI get to drive a lot of different cars throughout the year, and they run the gamut from Powerball-winner hardware to basic, affordable transportation. Sure, the glitzy stuff is a lot of fun, but some of the best new cars I've had the opportunity to try are also among the least expensive. This is good news if you want to buy a new car but have a modest […]
- Child seat belt safety: When to transition out of a boosterParents might breathe a sigh of relief when their children no longer need a bulky child car seat or booster, but they shouldn't exhale just yet. Many young children who use adult seat belts are improperly secured because of ill fit, finds a study by the University of Michigan.read more […]
- Counting calories: Of course, there's an app for that...Actually, there are hundreds of apps and websites to help you count calories: the ones you are burning and the ones you are consuming. If you're turning to technology to keep your balance in check, read these user reviews below. ConsumerSearch found six women who have enlisted their computers and mobile devices (and have been doing so for at least six m […]
- Inspired vegetarian recipes to chase away the winter bluesIn the dead of winter, with greenmarkets either closed or offering very limited selections of produce, it's all too easy to think that healthy, meat-free meals are out of reach. But you can still find a variety of veggies that are either in season or available year-round. With a mind toward that healthy-eating New Year's resolution, we scoured the […]
- Should Google's new privacy policy worry you?"Don't be evil." Google's unofficial mantra sounds pretty noble, right? But some say that Google has lost its guiding light in the wake of some recent changes to the company's privacy policy and Terms of Use. What's all the hubbub about? Why do some think it's the end of privacy as we know it, and others just shrug their sh […]
- Can you trust online reviews?The issue of fake user reviews is nothing new. We blogged about it back in 2009 after a Wall Street Journal article exposed the practice by certain companies of having employees post favorable write ups to user-review sites, such as Amazon.com. Now, The New York Times has shed some light on something new, yet still the same: offering real customers financial […]
- DOT tries to put the "fair" in airfare pricingEarlier this week I booked a flight from New York to Miami. Even though JetBlue only flies to the nearby Fort Lauderdale, I couldn't pass up the advertisement in an e-mail sent to me: Book Today, $89 each way from JFK. When I went online to look up fares, I did not see that fantastic rate; instead the fares were through the roof with the flights I want […]
- A sneak peak: the International Home and Housewares ShowLast week we attended the press preview for the International Home and Housewares Show.

At the preview we got a sneak peak of some interesting new product launches, below are a few noteworthy ones. read more […]

- Where to mount a plasma or LCD TVSo you've picked out the perfect flat-screen LCD TV or plasma TV. You've even picked out the perfect TV wall mount to hang it on a wall. But have you picked out the perfect place to put your new TV? Experts -- ourselves included -- often wax poetically about the outstanding picture quality of top-performing TVs. However, the truth of the matter is […]

I’m very satisified with this stroller: it is lightweight, easy to fold and open up, and easy to drive around. It folds up really small, has a harness that can be used as a 3- or 5-point, and it can recline up to about 60 degrees (=more than halfway between straight up and lying flat). It is also rather stylish, in colors that are fun and modern (and totally acceptable for Dads) and that also don’t show dirt too much.
My only regret is that the basket is not bigger -but I guess for that you’d probably need a bigger stroller altogether, which isn’t what I was after.
Oh! Also, my son (6 m.o.) regularly falls asleep in it, which he hadn’t done since he was a newborn. So that’s the vote for the comfort level, right?

I love this stroller! I have owned 6 strollers in total for my 20 month old and was never satisfied. My daughter is big for her age and the light-weight strollers didn’t feel too sturdy when I would turn the stroller. This one moves great and turns smoothly on a dime!
The basket is the perfect size for my diaper bag and the one-hand fold is great! The only drawback is the lack of a cup holder for the parents, but I ordered the Buddy Buggy organizer and think this will work out great!
My daughter loves the stroller and has plenty of room to grow into it. It’s umbrella-style fold leaves plenty of room in the trunk of my SUV for groceries.
I am relieved to be able to stop searching for the perfect stroller, since I have found it!!!

I bought this stroller based on some reviews. The majority were good including Consumer Reports. But a couple reviews mentioned this poor sitting position. The stroller has an adjustable seat but in the full upright position you can very lightly pull back on the seat and it will drop right down to a 45 degree position. The very motion of my toddler getting in to the seat and sitting back, for example, was enough to push the seat back. I returned the unit. Luckily, Amazon has this postage paid (Amazon picks up the bill) return option.

I bought this stroller for my heavy 1 year old daughter, and sometimes my 3 year old uses it, I had a Chicco umbrella that fell apart.
The pros:
Sturdy
Manuevers well, even with very heavy children
Tall handles, I am 5’9″ and my husband is 6’1″ and it fits perfectly
Very compact size, fits through shopping aisles in crowded stores
Easy to fold, one step
Reclines easily and enough for a child to fall asleep in
Easy locking wheels
When folded it is very compact would fit perfectly in a small car
Very comfortable, even has an option to lower or lift the leg rest
Nice size basket that is easy to get to
The price is pretty reasonable, it is cheaper than the Maclaren and nicer in many ways
Cons:
The directions to put it together were not very clear, MAKE sure you don’t put the wheels on before opening the stroller. Also the canopy has a specific spot it has to go on the stroller, but the directions don’t make that clear, if you just pop the canopy on near the handles it will come off easily.
This is not a super light stroller, but it is not ridiculously heavy like a jogging stroller.
I have three kids age 8, 3 and 1 and have had many strollers, this is the best buy I have made, I am very happy with it

I did a lot of research on several Light weight strollers, before settling for this one, based on the reviews and the best selling items. My son who’s 3+ yrs old is 42″ tall and none of the light weight strollers seemed to accomodate his height…I bought the MacLauren stroller from Target only to find his head dangling backwards as there’s a gap b/w the seat and the canopy.Finally I chose this one on amazon and belive me the amazon best selling items never dissappoint you…The customer reviews are worth considering and I was happy i did…It’s a great stroller , light weight, easily foldable and I just don’t have to excert pressure to push the stroller, …It goes upto 40 lbs and that’s awesome..The features are very much same as the Maclauren, except that this’s more comfortable for the kid and seems more durabl too..and yah..it’s a $20/0 less too…The pricing on amazon was just great….I highly recommend this product to tall kids…They just don’t have to stoop any more sitting in a stroller….
