Don't be afraid!
I just got this stroller today, so I want to preface this review by saying that I haven't actually used it outside yet. I was debating about buying this stroller because there were so many negative comments about folding / unfolding it. It really IS NOT hard. I was also concerned about the fact that the seat has to be facing out to fold it up. This also is not a big deal. To get the seat off you just have to push two buttons in and lift it up. The seat itself is really light and easy to move. Here are other things I have found so far:
-It does smell a little bit like new flip flops (in response to the person who said it had a chemical smell). Don't know if that is good or bad but it does have a little smell to it.
-It is heavy.
-It folds up pretty small and does stand on its own when the brakes are engaged.
-It has an AWESOME sun canopy. I am obsessed with my son staying out of the sun during walks, and I know I won't have to worry with this stroller.
Overall, the stroller seems well-made. I am happy with the purchase. And, seriously, don't be afraid of the folding!!

Great Stroller, but......
This is a great stroller. It handles well, looks great, has a HUGE basket, seat reclines all the way, has lots of shade under the canopy. The only negative is unfolding it. I STRUGGLE with it every time! I keep wondering if I'm doing something wrong, but I just can't seem to get it right. Seemed so easy when the guy did it in the store. It's also quite heavy, but I now have great back and arm muscles!! Overall, I would definitely recommend it, but be prepared for a little bit of frustration unfolding it. I also wish it had a parent tray.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
I love this stroller. Only thing I have to get used to is opening it. This should not discourage you. It folds SUPER easy! My son loves it; I especially love that the seat can flip around. It's perfect for when he falls asleep & I want to keep an eye on him or when its cold out & he can be away from the cold wind. My son is 1yr old & 27lbs & he still has room to move in it. I have suggested this stroller to my friends who have children. I love the look of it!

Even better than I expected
I did an excessive amount of research about strollers prior to my baby's arrival, and this one was the winner. I've been using it for 3 months now and love it. Most of our stroller trips are from home, through our urban neighborhood. We also have limited space at home. I like that it stands up when folded---fits nicely in the closet. It's pretty big for putting in the trunk, but we never really do that anyway, so it wasn't an issue for us.
The wheels handle well on our sometimes-rough sidewalks. Though if you're looking for something that will bounce over every bump with ease, get air-filled tires. This one occasionally gets stuck on some sizes of bumps. MUCH better than the travel system strollers I've seen tooling around the neighborhood, though.
I love that the seat is reversible, the amount of recline is totally customizable, and the canopy can be positioned in any number of ways to block the sun. The big basket underneath and cupholder are also nice. This stroller could almost pass as one of the fancy $800+ strollers, but it's surprisingly affordable.
One tip: read the instructions carefully, and practice the fold/unfold a couple of times. It's not intuitive, but it's not hard once you figure it out the first time. All in all, this stroller is totally worth it!

good for the price!
We wanted a stroller that was reversible and just couldn't bring ourselves to purchase a 400 to 800 dollar stroller. This one is very good for the price. Just be careful that the seat is locked in place. It handles well - I recommend it.

Love it!
I just got this stroller for my 5th child. I have owned 2 other strollers previously and this is by far my favorite. I love it!!

Fast shipping but missing a piece!
I was happy to find this stroller on Amazon.com for $35 less than all other store prices. It only took three days to arrive at my door (with free shipping.) Although the box was in rough shape, I was very excited to put the stroller together and use it the next day. Once I got all the pieces out and started assembly, I noticed that the rear axle was missing. I also noticed some of the metal on the stroller had some deep scratches. I called the company that made the stroller and they are shipping me the axle but it will take up to 10 days to get here. I am hoping the deep scratches don't rust. I am left to wonder if this was someone elses return! I gave 4 stars because I'm sure the stroller will be nice if I ever get the piece.

Great Stroller
I love this stroller. It is functional and looks great as well. The basket is huge and you can actually get to it, unlike the baskets on the other strollers I have owned. It was very easy to put together (i had no help from my husband). It is just the best stroller I have had.
The negative that people seem to mention is the folding. It does fold differently than other strollers. If you read the directions and fold/unfold a couple of times it is a BREEZE. Don't pass this stroller up because people say it is hard to fold/unfold.

Don't fold well
I would have given it 5 stars if the folding feature was easier. The stroller is fairly heavy, and it doesn't unfold easily. I was so embaressed one time, where 2 people had to help me in front of the mall to unfold my stroller. It is just not easy at all. The look is great, but buy it only if you can leave it unfolded.

great stroller
I love this stroller! I bought it for my newborn son who has down syndrome and other medical issues which require me to be able to see him when he is in the stroller! I researched many parent-facing strollers and this was the best stroller for the price! Most of the others I looked at were outrageously priced!! I've had it for about a month and use it almost daily. It is wonderful!! Puts together easily and switches from parent-facing to world-facing very easily! The only negative review I found about this stroller was something about the smell upon opening it from delivery - I did not notice this too much - it just smelled new to me! Also, I have had many strollers in my lifetime(I have seven children) and this is the nicest and easiest to put together and use so far!!
