“We have used this stroller for more than two months now and we do like it. It’s easy to fold and to unfold, the canopy is very large so it protects well against sun, and also easy access to the bottom storage is great. Yet since I am very tall I do wish the push bar would be adjustable and some things like straps do seem cheaply made. But overall its great. I do like it.”
