Review

I had high hopes for this stroller based on many positive reviews, but I've found it has several limitations. First, it seems difficult to fold. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it with practice, but for the first few attempts was not able to fold it without the instruction manual and assistance from my husband. Second, the canopy has an unfortunate plastic window in the top, which allows the sun to beat through. This might make sense in London where the greater concern may be rain instead of sun, but I find myself having to cover it with a cloth to prevent my baby from getting too much sun. Other Maclaren models have the window in the back rather than the top of the canopy, which makes more sense. Third, it doesn't have a tray of any sort for toys or for my sun to put his feet up, as some other strollers do--now that my son is 5 months old I realize how nice this would be. Fourth, although I've only used it a few times, the wheel is already somewhat squeaky--hopefully this can be easily repaired. Fifth, it's a bit hard to access the basket when the seat is reclined. The stroller does handle smoothly and the adjustable handles are good for tall people, but a stroller that allows one-handed steering might be preferable.

Pros

• Adjustable handles

Cons

• Plastic window in top
