Babies R' Us Deluxe Stroller - Geo Print

I registered for this item when I was pregnant with my first child. I had done a lot of research online and, at the time, this product was a newer stroller but had positive reviews. I loved the price so I figured it would be a great pick.

Steering- I should say that I haven't personally test-driven a bunch of light weight strollers, however, this stroller does not maneuver very easily. Sometimes it rolls great, other times not so much. Not sure what that's about. When I first tested out the stroller, I was pregnant so I didn't have a kid to put in the stroller to test it out. It rolled wonderfully without child. Once you put your child in, the steering goes downhill.

Wheels- I noticed someone complained about squeaky wheels. Ours does not squeak but maybe we got lucky. I am thankful for that.

Canopy- The sun canopy is actually a pretty good size for an umbrella stroller. It does a good job at keeping the sun out of my son's eyes. The only downside is that there is not a peek-a-boo window on the top like other (more expensive) umbrella strollers have. That would have been a great feature to add on.

Recline- It doesn't really recline. There are two zippers, one of each side, that is supposed to lower the back down to a recline. Maybe it's just my stroller, but even in it's original setting, it is already at a recline. The back is sort of flimsy. So when you do unzip the sides, there really isn't much of a difference, if one at all.

Seat Harness/Straps- I love that it is a 5 point harness but the straps themselves don't seem to have a lot of length to them. My son isn't very tall and already at 20 months, I feel like he is about to outgrow the stroller. I also worry about his weight and the stroller's flimsy-ness. He is probably 28 pounds, but I did just notice that this stroller is meant for children under 33 pounds. I wish I would have known this or I wouldn't have registered for it. I would rather have a stroller that goes up to 40 or 45 pounds for longer use.

Storage Basket- This is one of the main reasons I registered for the stroller. I should have been smarter about it and tried to put stuff in the basket and then take it out at the store before registering for it. There is a basket but it is difficult to access. The basket itself is a strong basket....but very impractical. You really can only put water bottles or other small items in it and you have to squeeze your hand and arm through the sides of the stroller to get to them. There's no way you are getting even a small diaper bag in there. Oh, and if you want to hang a small bag on one or both of the handles....forget it. It makes the steering that much harder.

I also wish it had an adult cup holder but I know that isn't a typical feature on umbrella strollers so that's not a huge complaint for me. The one cup holder that it does include keeps coming off.

Storing- I do really like how easy it is to fold up. The red tabs that you push in are super convenient and are right by the handles. I haven't had any issues at all with folding it up. Now, the lock I can't stand. I don't even use it anymore. it's just a flimsy, plastic piece that falls off constantly and/or is too difficult to adjust all the time. It unfolds easily without the lock.

All in all, i do think this is probably a better stroller than one of the super cheap ones that don't have much of a canopy or the 5 point safety harness. But the steering needs major improvement, and I wish it had better storage.

This stroller has been great through family vacations (2 airline trips!), hikes (couple mountain hikes in CO even), camping, shopping and every day use. My son is comfortable in it, it's a good weight, the shoulder strap for carrying is convenient, the print is pretty and fun, quality construction, easy to fold & unfold with good safety features. Only complaints (all pretty minor): the wheels are squeaky and need applications of WD40 monthly (oh well!), I can't figure out how to remove the seat to wash it (I'll wash it by hand on the frame), and the folding triggers on the handles are getting tricky to use (probably will work fine with lubrication). Husby and I are happy with this purchase, we have a nice stroller and didn't break the bank! Woot! Pick up a stroller caddy for yourself so you can have a drink. (Or just us the handles to hang a backpack with cup holders!)

I love this light weight stroller. It can't get any better. It does what it should doesn't get stuck. Very convenient for the price...

This stroller has been wonderful for those short trips to the store, walks, and down the shore. It's sturdy, the shade is huge compared to the normal umbrella strollers and the handles are tall enough for my husband to push it comfortably. The only thing i would improve is the recline feature, it doesn't go back as far as it should for a sleeping child but it's still a nice feature.

First time I got this stroller, I was really like it, but I've been using this stroller twice a week, sometimes non because we have another stroller. After 3 months, it broke. So now we have to buy another stroller for our 6 months baby!

I bought this stroller for international travel - the other umbrella strollers are too flimsy for a 3 week vacation with constant use. I have only used this a couple of times, but love the fact that it can recline, that's going to be really useful if my kiddo falls asleep while we are travelling. Love the basket underneath and the huge canopy. The only thing I'm not sure about is the fabric design - but I'm just being picky, this is perfect for what we bought it for!

After hauling around heavier strollers, this one is a relief. My son is a walking toddler now, he's 2-1/2 yrs old and 37 lbs., and this is the stroller we mostly use when we go out. It's lightweight and folds easily. It's also much more sturdy than cheaper umbrella strollers and the handles are higher than average. I'm 5'10" so this is one of the few umbrella strollers that are tall enough for me to push. It holds up well to travel and tossing it in and out of the trunk.

The only drawbacks are that the cupholder keeps falling off, there's no place for adult cups, not enough storage underneath (like most umbrella strollers), and the seat doesn't fully recline. These things are not issues for us b/c my son doesn't nap in strollers anyway. When I want to go shopping, I take my bigger stroller with the large basket underneath.

I definitely recommend this stroller but I think it's more suited to toddlers than infants.

I went to babies r us for the great trade in event. I was fed up with the basic umbrella stroller I had that had wheels that would not stop locking up. I only paid $20 for it over a year ago so you get what you pay for. I went in planning on buying a nice Combi light weight stroller that I had been eyeing for a while. It was [$] but with the trade in it was going to be 25% off so I figured why not! I compared it to a mclaren $129.99 that was very comparable. They both folded up really tiny and have large sun shades. Both where missing a cup holder though which was disappointing. They both also have storage and easy folding. I decided on the Combi and was about to bring it up to the front when I decided to walk around the isle to the other strollers just in case I missed something. Then I found this wonderful stroller! The babies r us stroller had all the benefits of both the combi and mclaren combined with a cup holder and for almost $100 cheaper!!!! It wasn't as pretty as the others but I was still sold. I am glad I bought it during the trade in event I walked out only paying [$]!

I really like this product and seemed great for my cars trunk once I fold it up.The only problem that I have had with it is that it worked great the first couple of times and then I got it out the other day and it rolls forward nicely, but when I try to pull it back/reverse it the back wheels don't roll smoothly. They open outwards which causes it to get stuck and not roll smoothly. I'm going to exchange for a new one, maybe this one was defective and if the new one does the same thing then I'm returning it for good.

Levers to close it constantly sticking. Problems closing it 90% of the time.
mesh basket inaccessible.
cup holder falls off constantly.
Threw it out after only 2 months of frustration.
