I was hesitant about spending the money on this stroller, especially since I was going to use it as my single stroller for a few years before having my second child. Well, all I have to say is, this stroller is HEAVEN.
I use it on average of twice a day to walk my dog. It has seen rain, ice, and, most recently, tons of snow. It takes a bit of effort to get it through an unshoveled sidewalk, but it goes, and my daughter seems to even enjoy the rough ride --laughing and smiling as we go.
It also seems like it is made of solid materials and should have no problem lasting for the long haul.
I was giddy with delight when we took it out of the box and saw in person how clever this stroller is, and now, after using it for close to 8 months, I still can't believe how wonderful it is!
In terms of a comparison, I walk with a friend that has a bugaboo. There really is no comparison between these strollers, and my friend will be buying a Phil and Ted when she has another kid. I have no problem going over curbs, etc. while my friend tends to turn the stroller around. Can you imagine spending 800 on a stroller that you turn around to go over curbs?!?!?!
I highly recommend this stroller as a single, and can't wait to get to use it as a double. Well worth the money, and in the long run, I think it is the most economical way to go --if you plan on having kids close together in age.
This stroller is also not that heavy and it fits easily in my small Honda Civic's trunk--mind you, not much else will fit in the truck, but the stroller does.
After fretting for months over what stroller to buy, I can say that I have not once had any regrets about this purchase. Instead, I've just been delighted and pleased as punch to have such a wonderful stroller to push my little girl in every day.
