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 […]

- 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 […]

I bought this stroller after trying to decide between the graco IPO and this model. As a mom of three this is to be my “forever” stroller–the one that stays in the trunk and will last our family until it’s time for grandkids.
It came quickly and is really good looking. Easy to assemble. It seems very durable and tough, but the tradeoff with that is that it is heavier than I thought it would be. The IPO was lighter weight (by about two pounds) but also had a higher weight limit, so consider that if it’s important to you. It folds and unfolds easily and quickly, but it takes up more room in my trunk than I thought it would and it’s curved funny when folded so you have to put it in just the right way or it rolls around/tips over. Loaded with features. I’m not thrilled with the adjustment of the seat–my 2 yo is always straining to sit up and the way it tightens, it just won’t sit her up any higher. I wish I could tighten it up just a bit. Decent basket size and the handles are a great height for me (I’m 5’10″). Feels solid and rugged, but is narrow enough to fit through most aisles.
All in all, a good stroller. Look at the Graco IPO before you purchase this one, though, just to be sure!

This stroller was one of my best purchases. I wanted a lightweight stroller that I could easily manage through an airport. I recently used this on a trip to florida and couldn’t be happier with the stroller.
The stroller is easy to push and steer, it reclines to any position, basket is decent size. I have the Land’s End Little tripper diaper bag, which fit perfectly on the back. My baby easily slept and played in the stroller.
The front bar is nice because it has some padding my infant frequently hurts himself in my big graco with kicking the hard food tray, so this is nice because he doesn’t hurt himself. I easily hooked toys on to the bar and he was entertained for hours.
The only 2 negatives, small shade and the way it locks when you close it. The shade is too small, but all lighweight strollers have a small shade. I had a Kiddopotamus sun shade on my larger jogging stroller, I just used that on this stroller and it gave my infant all the shade I needed.
the mechanism that locks the stroller doesn’t hold the stroller together securely enough. We bought some velcro and added an extra strap the we used when gate checking the stroller so the stroller didn’t come apart when they threw it under the plan.
Highly recommend this stroller. Actually keep it in our car 100% of the time because it takes up so little space and it so easy to open and close.

I got this stroller as part of a travel system (Mosaic stroller with Snugride carseat). This stroller is truly lightweight, and folds down really compactly to fit in my trunk (’03 Pontiac Grand Am). I can collapse it or set it up while holding my baby, which is a necessity.
My husband especially loves the modern look of it, as well as the handles (which are very comfortable, even after hours). The sun canopy has a little “window” in it, so I can see my baby, which is nice.
The fabric parts are easy to wash, and seem to hold up well. The one con I can see is that when collapsed, the sun canopy is pressed against the front wheels. It doesn’t cause any additional wear, but if the wheels are dirty, it will get the canopy dirty as well. Just a picky thing… but if it really bothers you, the canopy is easy to wipe clean.

I have been using this stroller for more than a year; got 1-yr and 4-yr old that have test driven this model to its limits; First thing to say, it’s odd to find a compact stroller that is able to fit older toddlers if they wanna take a nap, and this is one of them! this is one of its great advantages. On the other side, its is somewhat heavy for an umbrella model, but that hasn’t been a problem for me anytime. Still fits easily even in compact car trunks; and the wheels do a nice work when you are on irregular floors (or even sand).
Now for the dark side: maybe it’s just me, but everyone who has kids knows that you learn to do almost anything with one hand; from preparing breakfast to surfing the web, you know what i mean. Well, it’s ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to open this stroller without using BOTH HANDS. It should open with a quick kick but it has NEVER opened on the first try, it’s just difficult. Ok then, another minor flaw: the canopy is REALLY small; don’t forget sunscreen or a dangling piece of cloth to protect your loved ones from the sun. Speaking of the canopy, the folding design of the stroller makes the canopy edge make full contact with the front wheels; so it will get really, really dirty after… yeah, you guessed it… the very first use. And on top of that, the canopy’s edge is always a light color, it only makes it seem worse.
Maybe i have been too harsh on this one, but be aware that i’m giving it four stars anyway. It is sturdier than it looks, can take a lot of damage and remain unscathed, but has some cons that you should consider.
Overall a heavy-duty, compact-sized, older-toddler-ready stroller. You be the judge.
P.S. don’t forget to dismount the side vase when you check it at the boarding door on a plane trip. Mine was last seen on a connection between Panama and Cancun… XD.

We have a travel system, also from Graco, with the Stroller, car seat, and the works, and was looking for something the didn’t take the entire trunk of my wife’s car like the stroller from the travel system.
This stroller is fairly lightweigh, folds more compact, and has some features that a umbrella stroller does not.
I’m over 6’1 and can confortablly push this stroller without leaning over, which is a big plus, and a concern of mine when reviewing other “light weight” strollers.
