Very pleased with purchase
I recently purchased The kosmic green kolcraft stroller for my grandaughter. It arrived promptly, was easy to put together. My grandaughter loves to talk walks in it. Plenty of storage. Breaks work well. I would recommend this stroller over the umbrella strollers but it is not a bulky as the regular stollers.

VERY NICE STROLLER / IPOD SPEAKER OKAY
THIS IS A VERY NICE STROLLER AND A GOOD PRICE. I ALSO HAVE A 3WHEEL JOGGER STROLLER THAT IS TO LARGE FOR SHOPPING OR SMALL PLACES, SO I NEEDED A SMALLER STROLLER TOO. MY FIRST SMALL STROLLER WAS THE UMBRELLA STROLLER AND I HATED IT. IT WAS LIKE A DOLL STROLLER. THIS KOLCRAFT IS THE PERFECT SIZE. I LOVE MY BIG JOGGER STROLLER FOR WALKS, BUT THIS KOLCRAFT IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED FOR MY CAR. IM NOT IMPRESSED WITH THE IPOD SPEAKER, IT IS VERY QUIET AND I EVEN HAD MY IPOD VOLUME ON MAX AND I STILL COULDN'T HEAR IT UNLESS I HAD IT UP TO MY EAR. (NOT GOING TO DO THAT) THE IPOD SPEAKER WAS THE ONLY DOWN SIDE. I DID NOT PICK THIS STROLLER FOR THE IPOD SPEAKER, IT WAS ONLY A BONUS, SO IT WAS NOT A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. THE STROLLER WAS EASY TO PUT TOGETHER, I DID MYSELF AND ONLY TOOK ABOUT 5 OR 10 MINUTES. MY DAUGHTER LOVES IT AND WANTS TO BE PUSHED AROUND IN THE HOUSE. IT IS STURDY AND HAS NICE FABRIC, GOOD SIZE BASKET, AND APPEARS TO BE VERY COMFORTABLE. THE SEAT DOES ADJUST SO YOUR CHILD CAN LAY BACK TO NAP, OR SIT UP STRAIGHT. THE COLOR IS PRETTIER IN PERSON. WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH IT, AND I ACTUALLY RECEIVED IT IN ABOUT 3 DAYS TOTAL, EVEN THOUGH THE FREE SHIPPING OPTION SAID MUCH LONGER. VERY HAPPY WITH IT.

front wheels break
After only a couple of months of use the two front wheels broke- they tend to turn sideways or go in different directions causing the stroller to stop and almost flip. I still use it but have to push it tilted on the two back wheels with the front off the ground to prevent this problem. I would have been better off with a $20 stroller or spending a bit more money for one that would last longer.

Front wheel design flaw
There was much that I initially liked about this stroller. It has a nice overall design, and it's a good size. However, there appears to be a major design flaw in the front wheels, and they lock up continuously. Initially it only happened on somewhat rough surfaces, but now it's constant. We've reached a point, after only about 7 months of use, that we have to get a different stroller, because it won't go for more than a few feet without the front wheels locking up, unless we're on a perfectly smooth surface. I've noticed that most strollers have double front wheels on each side, and I regret not having taken note of this before I bought this stroller. The apparatus that holds the wheels in place is just a snap on part, that wobbles easily, and that also appears to add to the problem with the wheels.
There is also little back support, so my daughter tends to slouch in this stroller. The back is held in an upright position by a strap that is adjustable, but since the back is made of what seems to be corrugated plastic, it bows, and between that and the strap, it stays in a somewhat reclined position rather than solidly upright.

Just OK ...
My daughter was 10-months-old back when I bought this stroller for her in May. For the first 2-3 weeks it seemed to handle bumpy sidewalks rather well but after I had it for about a month, it seems like it's harder to navigate. The front wheels go in different directions and don't seem as supportive as before which makes it difficult to get up and down the sidewalk. The stroller also squeaks which can be rather annoying so maybe I need to lube the wheels; I don't think I should even have to do that though being the stroller is only 2.5 months old!
What drives me bonkers is the strap for lowering and raising the seat; it's one of those straps that you have to pull tight or loosen. Like others have said, the snack tray is awkward as my daughter really has to pull herself up to reach it and it blocks her view while riding.
There's a cup holder on top for Mommy or Daddy and it holds drinks well with minimal spilling. As for the iPod speaker/dock I have not used it yet but I do think it's nice to have with a side pocket for it on the awning. There is ample room in the bottom net for storage and it's easy to get to what you need down there even with your child in the stroller.
All in all it's a great looking stroller but I think the price is a little high for what you get.

Missing parts
I paid for overnight shipping through Amazon, which worked great -- except that my stroller is missing a rear axle. I called customer service, and they're sending a new one, but it will take over a week to get it.
So much for overnight service.

Exactly what I was looking for
After a very lengthy lightweight stroller search, I finally decided on this one after reading its great reviews. It is just what I had in mind. What made it even better was that I ordered it one day and received it at my doorstep the very next.
It is very lightweight and folds up very easily and compact. It seems comfortable for my 10 month old, she doesn't mind being in it. The sun canopy actually covers what it needs to, unlike many other strollers. The stroller is very smooth and easy to push. My husband had no idea what I was ordering but once it got here, he was very happy with it as well.
My only complaint, which I had read in other reviews before I bought it, is that the tray does seem a little high for my daughter right now.
Overall though, this is a great stroller and I'm so glad I purchased this one instead of one that was twice the cost.

Exactly what I expected.
The product is exactly what I expected, easy to assemble (just the wheels)
the iPod DOK works great. The child fits comfortably and the straps keep the baby secure. Easy rolling and strolling.

Good for its value
I bought this stroller a couple of months ago to have it around the house and for short walks. It's good for the price paid, so, don't expect Boogaboo quality. But my baby likes it, she falls asleep in it, therefore it's probably comfy. I think the iPod DOC is a nice feature. The wheels are on the cheap side, but being conscious of the price, again, is not bad at all. A good alternative to the umbrella strollers, because this is good for little babies.

Excellent - light, great features, better than most pricey strollers
We bought this for our trip to Orlando, and I wish I would have found this stroller sooner. We've used the small Pink Jeep stroller for travel - which doesn't have a snack tray, which is a must have item for our two-year-old. Other pluses for me: canopy, and the good sized basket on the bottom. My daughter is also very tall, and this stroller works great! Umbrella strollers are way to small for her now. Easy to fold up, steering is great, height of handle bars is good too. The only thing I would change in the design is to angle the bottom of the seat back a tiny bit to avoid sliding forward, other than that I feel like this is the best deal I've ever found in a baby/toddler product.
