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 […]

- 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.

- 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 […]

- 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.

- 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.

- Should Google's new privacy policy worry you?"Don't be evil." Google's unofficial mantra sounds pretty noble, right?

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 […]

Review by Susan R. Stolovy for Graco Literider Stroller, Lively Dots

I was looking for a lightweight foldable stroller with good storage, a decent sunshade, and child tray that could double as a high chair.
This stroller has all of that and handles very well. However, it has some design problems that could be improved upon: 1) the way
it folds up, the child tray bangs on the ground quite forcefully. It can get dirty and seems destined to break, but it’s made of flexible plastic
so maybe it can take that kind of stress 2) the padded metal bar
on the seat back is very low–my 14 month old’s head already hits it,
although she sits up and doesn’t touch the back usually. I was hoping
to use the stroller until she is 3 and I don’t know if that’s going to work.
3) one of the cupholders on the parent tray is so shallow that water bottles
can fall out. The other one is OK.

Pros:
I love this stroller for the size, weight, and price.
The stroller is also a good height, has cupholders, and baby has a tray with drink holder which I love to put his cheerios in for less mess.
The storage basket is huge.
My Graco Safe Seat can lock into this stroller as a travel system.
It is easy to wipe clean.
Cons:
When you unfold the stroller, you have to replace the seat into an upright position, and also reset the storage basket. Every time.
When you fold the stroller, there is no way to keep the tray from banging on asphalt. It was scratched up the first time we used it.
The baby’s seat does either sits straight up or reclines half way. I would much prefer a stroller that lays flat for diaper changes or naps.
The baby’s tray table does NOT hinge. You have to slide baby in and out, difficult for someone with weak back or squirming baby to manage. Lucky me, having both. You can remove the baby tray, but it is difficult to put back on.
Mom’s tray is nice to have 2 cup holders and a flat area in middle for your phone, keys, shopping list. I wish it had a lid like some strollers so your camera, etc. isn’t in plain view. However, the negative is that mom’s tray flips up because it is attached only by two screws and really needs four screws, or a latch to keep it down.
Sun canopy does next to nothing. It is not angled well, and not large enough to create shade for baby. I have to put a blanket over the canopy to extend it, but it does look trashy. In addition, small viewfinder is not enough to see baby.
Canopy is sticky, bending forward and back is hard to manage and makes a loud noise which has awoken my son from his nap more than once.
CONCLUSION:
My goal was to find a stroller that baby is comfortable to sit in, and light enough for my poor back to be able to lift at a reasonable price and this does meet my top requirements. I would NEVER recommend it to a friend. I think it would be great for a grandma or other occasional baby sitter to have on hand, but not for most people for daily use.

After doing a lot of research to find an affordable, lightweight stroller with the “perks” of a bigger stroller, we bought this stroller and are very happy with our choice. It folds up very nicely and I love that it reclines allowing our 13 month old to nap if he wants. The basket is huge and I love that you can still get to your diaper bag even when the seat is reclined. I definitely recommend this stroller! It’s GREAT!

I would rate this higher than 5 stars if possible! I registered for this stroller because I wanted something lightweight (that I could lift and that didn’t take up a lot of space). This one only weighs 9 lbs. My friend who bought it for me as a gift complimented me on the price (only $40). I have had this stroller for four years, and have used it with all three of my kids since they were born. I am always getting compliments on this stroller. It is as compact as an umbrella stroller, with the amenities of a very nice stroller, with the cargo basket, sun shade, recline position, parent tray with two cupholders, and removeable child’s tray with cupholder. Since I have an older model, mine does not accomodate a car seat, which I didn’t want at the time but later realized is a nice feature. I’ve always had to wake up my baby to move him from the car to the stroller. Also, when I first got my stroller, the parent tray didn’t fit. I called the manufacturer and they sent me a new one, which also didn’t fit. I took it in to Babies R Us, and the sales person took the tray off the display model and it fit just fine. I heartily recommend this stroller to everyone – I really love mine and will use it as long as I can!

We love this stroller.
It folds one-handed, it has a decent parent and toddler tray, the basket is huge and easy to get to, compact when collapsed….
Only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is that it is a pavement only (no good on dirt trails etc) and therefore is limited in it’s use.
