Babies R Us Umbrella Stroller - Red/Black

We got this stroller because we'd be traveling by air for Christmas and didn't want to bring our bigger stroller on our trip. It was very easy to fold up, and when folded it takes up very little space, which helped during security and when checking it at the gate. It was nice for getting through the crowded airport also, since it's small and compact even when not folded. There are no storage compartments, cup holders etc. (we knew this when purchasing an umbrella stroller), but it was great for the reasons we got it. Only other complaint would be not much support for our son's back, he was a little slouchy and seemed slightly uncomfortable (not something I'd put him in for long periods of time), but again we knew what we were purchasing with a cheaper umbrella stroller. Overall we're glad we got it for trips like this!

I bought two of these strollers for a family vacation to Disney World, and they were INVALUABLE! We took them on airplanes, buses, boats, monorails, and to all four theme parks and they were fabulous. The only improvement I'd appreciate is a storage basket underneath, but I lugged around a backpack anyway and that was more than sufficient. We also hung autograph books (in plastic handled bags) and drink mugs from the stroller handles. My two daughters were pros at climbing in and out of their own strollers, they folded up so easily when we needed to get on a bus, and they made navigating the airports especially easy (light enough to have the girls get out of the stroller and just carry it on the escalator). I highly recommend these for travel if you want something light, inexpensive, functional and super convenient!

This stroller is a good stroller for the price and what I am using it for. Something light to get in and out of the car and my daughter loves it of course...she don't have to walk.

My wife and I initially bought this as an inexpensive alternative to our big Graco stroller. We began using it off and on, liking its light weight, maneuverability and easy portability. Soon, we were using it more often than the Graco, and when the Graco's handle mechanism (to fold and unfold the stroller) failed, we retired it and began using this umbrella stroller full time.

The reason I'm writing this review is because we recently took our daughter to Las Vegas for a few days. We went with another family, who brought a large stroller for their son. We brought this umbrella stroller for our daughter, and it was so convenient to use while walking around the Las Vegas Strip. I can't tell you how many escalators and elevators we took this stroller on, but this made so much more sense than a larger stroller. We never had any trouble getting around the hotels and restaurants, and our daughter was always comfortable. After the trip, our friends asked us where we bought our stroller, because their experience with their son's stroller was not as positive as ours. We have referred them to this stroller, and I think they will enjoy it.

Remember that the stroller does have drawbacks (no storage space, no drink space, the shade has limited coverage, etc.) but if you buy this mainly for its advantages (light weight, maneuverability), then this is a smart addition for the family. It certainly is for our family.
