I love this stroller. It is so maneuverable and will last my baby forever. This model comes with a car seat frame so that you can make your own "travel system," as well as a regular seat that can reverse from facing the parent to facing outward, and lasts to 50 lbs, so you can use this for years. I can't imagine why you'd spend the money on those bulky plastic travel systems. The car seat holder and regular seat just snap in and out, and it's very easy to change from one to the other and to reverse the direction of the seat.
I was looking for a stroller mostly for outdoor use and exercise, and this is an all-terrain stroller that fits the bill. While it's not specifically marketed as a jogging stroller, you can lock the front wheel and I imagine it would do great. With the front wheel swiveling, though, you can turn this stroller on a dime, and can steer it with one finger. Easy and fun to steer this. It's very stable and is definitely all-terrain. It's winter now, but this stroller has done great on frozen snow ruts and has easily cruised along when I've gone up onto grass on one wheel and sidewalk on the other. Also, the brake system is extremely secure and I feel confident that the stroller isn't going to roll off on me. Can't wait to take this out this summer.
In my opinion, this stroller works great for indoor shopping as well. Like I said, it's extremely maneuverable. It is a bit wider than 4-wheel strollers, but I don't think that narrow aisles are a problem most places where you'd shop with this. I also think it folds down to a reasonable size (and very easily) and isn't too heavy. If you had a compact car, this might not fit comfortably into your trunk if you planned to take this stroller in your car, though. Not an issue for me and probably won't be an issue for most people.
The stroller has 2 cup holders for parents and a tray big enough to stash your phone, keys, wallet, whatever. The basket underneath is big enough for me - it's easier to access from the front of the stroller than from the "driver" side, if that's a concern. There's a sippy cup holder for baby with the the seat.
If you're interested in the car seat holder, it is a frame in which the seat sits, with a seat belt attached to the frame that runs over the seat to secure it to the stroller. You do not latch the seat onto the frame, but I've found it to be extremely secure for my little one. The car seat adapter (if you want/need it) ONLY works with the following models of car seat: Baby Trend Flex-Loc, Baby Trend Latch-Loc, Chicco Key Fit, Cosco Designer 22, Cosco First Ride DX, Evenflo Discovery, Evenflo Embrace, Graco Safe Seat, Graco Snug Ride, Graco Snug Ride 32, Maxi-Cosi Mico, Peg Perego Primo Viaggio, Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP, Safety 1st Designer 22, Safety 1st Starter Series.
Not terribly difficult to assemble. All you need is a Phillips head screwdriver. The directions aren't spectacular, but there's not too much to do and I figured it out during baby's short nap, so I'd rate it easy to assemble.
Overall, I just love this stroller and look forward to getting out with baby in it. I researched a lot of strollers before settling on this one, and I'm glad I did.

You'd be hard pressed to find a reverse-facing stroller any where near this price (most are $400+). If you have a baby that freaks out if mommy is out of sight like mine does, this stroller is a lifesaver. And when/if baby is ready to see more of the outside world you simply turn the seat around. But even with the seat in the reverse position the stroller is large and roomy and baby can still see plenty out the sides and around the parent. The parent bar is great, fits any drink I've had and the tray easily fits an iPhone, keys, snack, etc. and the storage basket is enormous. My baby is 9 months old and has a lot of room to grow - my 3 year old could comfortably ride in it. The only possible negative for some might be that it is pretty heavy and quite large. I however, like that its big and sturdy, makes it a breeze pushing it on sidewalks, grass, gravel, etc. It turns great and folds down easily and relatively small.

This stroller is great, it has all the features I've wanted and could only find in $600+ strollers. If you have read a negative warning regarding this stroller's safety on consumer reports, please be aware that that warning is with regards with the previous version of the stroller. Even so, the warning made me paranoid, so I strapped my infant car seat on the stroller and picked it up, tipped it, turned it up-side-down, shook it, dropped it, kicked it, etc. The thing held completely solid. When properly installed, the car seat will hold way more tightly than the non-universal infant carrier systems sold by Gracco, or Chico, etc.
My only negative, is that when installed with the seat facing backwards, the stroller does not fold down as well as when the seat faces forward. We usually end up removing the seat or facing it forward when storing. This is a small price to pay, however. I don't even know if the more expensive rear-facing strollers have this problem or not.
Awesome stroller for the price April 27, 2010

This stroller is a fabulous deal. Similar to the pricey ones, but very affordable. We got it because you can flip the seat around to face the parent. It also reclines nicely, so it becomes very pram-like when facing us and my son easily takes naps in it. Yes, it is a little heavy and yes, you have to flip the seat back to fold it....but it is absolutely worth the extra effort so that my son can have a solid, smooth, comfy ride. Studies show that children do better developmentally when they can see (and interact) with their parents while riding in the stroller. It also prevents him from getting overstimulated. The only drawback is that it takes up my entire trunk...but that is because I drive a small car. I highly recommend this stroller to everyone.

I have been using the stroller every day for a month and I love it. It has its pros and cons of course but pros are overwhelming the cons.
Pros: Very easy to manouver, rides on grass, unpaved roads, easy to lifts on curbs. The handle is very comfortable, I am 5'10" and had a hard time with my previous travel system. I was bending as I was walking because the handle was too low and too close and I couldn't make a step without stepping on a break...so annoying. Well, here it's perfect! I can walk fast, probably you could jog as well. The stroller is very easy to fold, the seat detouches very easily for reversing on changing for car seat. It's very sturdy and well balanced. Pleasure to ride!
Cons: First of all, the reclining seat DOES NOT change the angle of a seat, it just tilts back, but at the same time legs go up. So the baby always seats at 90 degrees angle. As I was reading the reviews before purchasing I saw it in only 1 review and since nobody else mentioned it, I figured it must have been a defected unit. Well, that one reviewer was right. For a baby who doesn't hold his head properly it is not best solution. My 2 months old baby's position is not the best and I need to support him with extra cloths. After 3 months I guess it will not matter that much anymore.
Another thing mentioned multiple times before is the weight - it is on a heavy side - 35 lb without a baby inside. Too heavy for me to carry 7 steps up with the sleeping baby inside. But the seat detouches easily, so I just take the seat and leave the rest on a driveway.
The last thing is the size of the seat. My baby is 2 months old and the back support looks like is going to be too short in few months. I don't know, maybe babies sit differently later and it will be enough. Leg room is suffivient.
In general, we are very happy with the purchase and would recommend it for 3months and older babies.
