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.

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 […]

This stroller is comfortable for my little one. It has a lot of padding for her comfort, and the leg adjusts from up to down, depending on what your baby prefers. It is sturdy, and does NOT feel cheap at all. I would not recommend this for tall parents though, I am 5’5″ and it’s perfect for me but anyone much taller may end up slouching over. I do kick the wheels too, but that has never bothered me. It is very well made and high quality materials were used. the handles are comfortable, it is very easy to assemble, and it is very stylish!

Good things are recline very deep ,my kids had good sleep with this one.
But handle is hard for me ( I’m 5F /100 LB very small).
Just get Maclaren much much more better value.

I did so much research trying to find an umbrella stroller that I could use for travel because I have an older toddler who is tall too. It was quite frustrating because there weren’t that many choices. I know I have read lots of reviews that an older toddler should be able to walk but if you travel extensively, they get tired and sometimes want to sit (can you blame them?). Also, it’s easier for me too. Anyway, it boiled down to a Keekaroo or a Maclaren and price was not the decision making criteria for me, I would have gladly paid more if it meant getting something of good quality that people were happy with. I wanted to hear about the reviews and that ultimately made me take the chance on the Keekaroo even though I couldn’t see it in person. The reviews were so polarizing on the Maclaren and for the price, I didn’t want to take the risk of being dissatisfied. I just received my Keekaroo Lilac Mist today and I must say, I am impressed and it exceeded my expectations. I am one of those parents who is so particular about everything, I had an awesome Peg Perego stroller for baby and now needed something of the same quality but lighter and still comfortable for an older child. The Keekaroo looks like it is made of high quality/sturdy, has a fold back sun visor (not pictured), has a footrest for baby or just a deeper seat for an older kid, has good quality frame and wheels, easy to figure out how to open/collapse after reading the instructions, I assembled it easily myself, and comes with the extra strap included, peekaboo window in the sunshade, padded seat cushion and nicely cushioned with a pillow headrest, and adjustable seat recline. It is true that it is not as light as you’d expect because it is a pretty good size/relatively tall and I am happy with the tradeoff of it being slightly heavier for a roomier fit for my child. I’m glad I didn’t pay the over $200 for a Maclaren because this is perfect and exactly what I was looking for. I cannot wait to try it out on our next trip and hope it stands up to the test of time. Well worth taking the chance, I am very happy and so is my child!

We purchased this stroller about a year ago as an alternative to our UPPABaby Vista (which is FABULOUS). We wanted a smaller stroller for air travel. When it arrived, we were both very impressed with how it looked — it is very stylish and the colors are great. We also found that it was great while traveling. Our baby (6 mo at that time) was able to sleep in it comfortably, even on bumpy roads and sidewalks — this stroller has great shocks. Unfortunately, the stroller has been falling apart, and we don’t use it very often (maybe once a month on average). The mechanism that keeps it closed when folded snapped off, the sun shade is crooked, a few bolts have fallen off which prevents it from opening and closing all the way, and the basket broke. Also, all the screws are rusted even though it is stored in our dry garage. We are trying to get replacement parts, but it has been difficult since we didn’t buy it directly through Keekaroo. Overall, it is a good looking and stylish stroller, but it is not well built as we have quickly discovered.
Note: 12/15/09 I just wanted to revise the above review…we have since been in touch w/ Keekaroo & the customer service was very friendly and helpful. They are mailing us a new stroller & a prepaid box to return the old one. Maybe we just had a lemon b/c all of the other reviews are great.

Just had to come back and say that I am very pleased with the purchase of my Keekaroo Stroller. I got the Lilac and Brown one. I’ve had it now for a few months. My daughter is very comfortable in her stroller. I was looking a for an easy light weight, but with all bells and whistles of the travel system. I love the big tires, the suspension, the foot rest adjuster, the 5 point harness, it’s easy to carry has a handle, easy to open, and easy to close. I can do open it with my daughter in one arm and she weighs 20 pounds. I get many compliments on how stylish it is as well so that is a plus. I highly recommend it. The only thing I would improve is making the little window on the sun shade open so air could filter through, instead it has a plastic cover over the mesh opening. The packaging was also very high end looking. It has a comfortable pouch for storing your keys, phone etc. I just purchased the sunshine kids cup holder for 10 bucks to hold a cup. It also does not fall back when carrying a diaper bag etc. Very sturdy and looks great. I currently use it for my 1 year old, but even my 5 year old sits in it when baby is not in and she is comfortable. I also like the adjustable back, it is not flimsy pull string, it actually holds up and has varied positions.
