 Cheap September 1, 2010
Mom2Memphis (USA)
I bought this stroller bc I own the original Kolcraft Contours, which is a great stroller. This stroller on the other hand was cheap. It was short (I am 5'6) and even pushing the canopy up and down felt cheap. I immediately took it apart and sent it back. It was okay for the sale price I bought it for but I would much rather have my Joovy Kooper over this anyday. I'd say spend the extra and get something nicer. I am now looking into buying a Peg Perego Si.
 A good compromise August 25, 2010

We received this stroller as a gift (purchased from our baby registry) and have been using it exclusively for 6 months now. I chose it because it was a Consumer Reports Best Buy (well... it's sister-model was; the exact same stroller but with an iPod holder or something.)
The good:
-Lightweight! Easy to assemble, fold & unfold with one hand for sure.
-Compact for a main stroller - it's definitely bigger than an umbrella stroller, but waaaay smaller than a travel system type of one. This was the primary reason I got this stroller; I didn't want a huge, heavy one. I have a 2002 Jetta and it fits in the trunk and still leaves enough room for a stock up grocery trip's worth of bags.
-Large basket you can get to from front or back
-Snack tray & cup holder for my son. He doesn't eat or drink out of cups yet, but I use it already to store extra binkis or sunglasses in. Handy!
-Love the color/style of it. I get compliments on it actually! Definitely not a typical "baby" sort of item. Very stylish.
The not-so-good:
-I'm confused by everyone saying the canopy is good. I think it's probably good compared to a $10 umbrella stroller, but I think the canopy is kind of horrible. The sun is always in my son's face - he has to wear a hat every time we use it. Could definitely be a bit bigger.
-The parent cup holder. Yes, it's nice to have one. But it borders on being unusable. It's just verrry small. I'm not one of those 64-ouncer-Big-Gulp type of girls, but my 24 oz Camelbak doesn't even fit. Forget about a Nalgene, or a 1-liter bottle of soda, or a Venti latte. The only thing I have been able to put in it successfully is a 12 oz. soda, which then spilled ALL over as soon as we started walking on a mildly bumpy patch of sidewalk. One of these days I am going to remove it and put on an aftermarket one or something. Right now the only thing I use it for is to stash my keys in it on short trips.
-The recline & straps could definitely be easier to adjust.
-I really wish it had SOME sort of a parent tray or SOMETHING up front by the handle. If you need to set something down just for a SECOND, there really is no place to do this except for on top of the very sloped canopy, or in the tiny cup holder. Even a mesh pouch or something would be useful. Again, maybe I can find an aftermarket piece to address this need.
All in all, it's a good stroller. Better than the travel system ones for sure, but I have a feeling there might be an even better one out there somewhere. Assuming it holds up, we will probably use it until my son is out of the stroller years. I use it maybe once or twice a week, tops, on sidewalks, and the tires look very worn already. I bet they're replaceable though (?).
It would be PERFECT if it had an infant seat attachment available. (I bought this because we had planed on using a convertible car seat - the Cosco Scenera - from the get go, but it wouldn't fit in my car, so 4 days before I was induced we got stuck buying a Graco Snugride. I wish I would've had some sort of stroller to snap that into... oh well, now I know for the next kid!)

I must say this is the best stroller out there for its price and features,I actually bought it when I decided to travel internationally and I didnt wana take my Bugaboo Bee bcoz of how airlines treat carry on luggage! So I wanted a good looking and lightweight stroller with a nice understorage basket and I must say Handsdown!!! to this stroller it is awesome!!! plz if u are reading my review buy it...it has everything...easy steering,easy opening and closing, comfortable 5 point harness seat which reclines too,modern colors,big basket,cupholder for parents and tray for ur baby which he can hold on too plus u can attach velcro toys with it,great canopy,good quality tires,.....in short this stroller is a copy of European stroller Bugaboo Bee for fraction of its price and a better basket.....Dont go waste ur money on those cheap 30 dollar strollers bcoz ur child will outgrow them very soon...this is literally ur perfect umberella stroller...I agree with the reviwer who wrote she will buy it in a heartbeat again,I think I will too!!!!U will simply love it :)
<3 this stroller! August 9, 2010

I bought this stroller to travel with as we have a running stoller with a staionary front wheel. Took it to the park last night to get a feel for it and discovered that I LOVE this stroller. Great canopy(comparably), easy to fold and light (maybe not THAT compact but I have a small car and there is plenty of room for other items in my trunk), sooo easy to push (wheels like a dream), love the tray and parent cup holder, but most of all I love that it reclines. My 9.5 m.o. fell asleep with it in an upright position and there was enough recline so that she wasn't flopping forward like she would in the umbrella stroller we recieved as a gift. Also, I am 5'7" and this is comfortable for me to push. My husband is 6'3". Not as comfy for him but I am pretty sure that nothing will be. (Did I mention how much room is in the basket...that can be acessed from the front or back???)
 it is a little thing, but... August 7, 2010

this stroller is (so far)everything the other reviewers claim and, I hope, my final of 5 strollers in the past year! I won't bother reiterating all the positives that have already been mentioned, instead I will bring something up that no one else has commented on.
when you end up having to change the shoulder straps from the lower spot to the higher, seriously think about just letting your child go to a 3 point harness (just strapped around his/her waist) instead of going through hell trying to move the straps up!! It seriously took me 10 times longer to do that than it did to do all the other assembly. The slots in the fabric don't line up with the slots in the back of the stroller so you are working blind, the buckles that the instructions so breezily say to push through the slots are bigger than the slots so you have to turn them sideways (while not being able to see where exactly the slots are). Then the fabric of the strap gets bunched up making it all but impossible to push anything anywhere. Then you are left trying to pull a 2 inch wide buckle that is jammed tight in the slot--you have no leverage, nothing to grab hold of, it is horrible.
I understand most people will be doing this once in the lifetime of the stroller, but there is no reason it should be so difficult. I have a cheapo portable high chair that has shoulder straps and they slide in and out of the slots easily, so it is not that this is an inexpensive stroller and Kolcraft didn't want to spend the money to make a better strap system and then pass that cost onto the consumer. It is just shoddy design and a shame considering all the other positives.
I hope that my stroller is just defective and that no one else has this issue, but I doubt it. Like I said, small issue, but boy it ticked me off at 11:30 pm when all I wanted was to make the stroller comfortable for my toddler and I had to spend a good hour on something that should have taken 5 minutes, tops. (plus I broke 2 nails, and well, there went the 5 star review!)
