63 of 64 people found the following review helpful.We ordered this stroller online, sight unseen after looking at and trying several different strollers. Ultimately we decided on this one. Having used it for three months now, I have observed some things:Cons: (negatives may be a deal breaker for you so I'm putting them first)1) The base is not adjustable like the picture / manual says. This is disappointing.2) The buckle that secures your little one into their seat is VERY difficult to release. You push the red button, but you really have to push hard; sometimes I have to use both hands to release it which is difficult when your little one is sitting in the seat. Also, clipping the two metal buckles into it is also extremely difficult--even for my husband who is really strong.3) There is no "peek" window to check on your baby as there are in most strollers. You have to open up the canopy and if your baby is sleeping, the pouring in of light can disturb them--which as we've learned will sometimes result in a very upset baby.4) As others have mentioned, the canopy on the car seat does not touch or meet the canopy on the stroller. There is a gap of about two inces where it is just open. Of course you can adjust the handle of the carseat to stay in that spot, but it still lets in light. We have to cover it with a blanket to keep the light out. Not bad, just another extra step.5) The cupholder is not great.The cup holders are small which is okay but very shallow. So anything of any decent size you put in there is not going to stay. You hit one bump or something on the floor with your stroller, and your drink will go flying--not good. And it's too small to get one of those cup holder extenders to use with it. Even a child's drink is going to be too big. So I'm thinking that only a soda can would actually fit there all right--but who carries those around these days? Definitely a poor design ...Having listed a lot of negatives (wow), here are some great things about this stroller.Pros:#1 -- It's light. The stroller is light and folds with one hand for easy storing. The carseat is also very lightweight.#2 -- It's made with quality. This stroller is made well--the parts do not feel cheap and thin and that material is fantastic. It holds up well and is very easy to clean.#3 -- It looks beautiful. The pictures do not do this stroller justice. The colors are vibrant, bright, and very girly. I think it's beautiful and people have stopped to ask me where I have gotten it and all my friends have commented how gorgeous it is. I should also mention that the base is black and not white. Personally, I like this because dirt does not show as easily as white. The downside is that it also gets hotter.#4 -- The base is adjustable from the front. We looked at tons of strollers that need to be adjusted from the back which is a pain. This one easily adjusts from the front.#5 -- The car seat works up to 35 pounds. A LOT of strollers do not hold that much weight. Most stop in the 20s or some will be 30 pounds. This saves you some money.Ultimately, when you buy a stroller, you have to balance price for what you get. Honestly, this stroller is quality made and while it has a lot of negatives, is sturdy and should hold up for some time. It is cute, has adjustable straps in the front of the base which is hard to find, and is lightweight and portable.If I had to do it all over again, I wish I would have gotten to play with it before buying it. But I am still happy with my purchase.
15 of 16 people found the following review helpful.I cannot understand any of the negative reviews regarding this product!! It is simply AMAZING and I HIGHLY recommend it! Assembly is super easy! I did it on my own without any assistance and everything fit together perfectly without flaw! In the reviews, I noticed many complaints that the car seat base is not adjustable and the baby sits completely upright- I think those couples failed to place the car seat correctly in the base, because this is not the case!! The car seat base is great, you do not need to purchase an "adjustable" one as a newborn sits quite comfortably in the car seat. The colors are absolutely beautiful and much better than many of the color combinations on the market. Some reviews said that the canopy between the car seat and stroller did not close completely as seen in the picture- not so! Once again, these couples have not assembled the pieces together correctly. The stroller/ car seat combo assembles exactly as pictured and no blanket is necessary to further cover your baby from the elements. Please ignore any negative reviews about this product. I am a single mom and I put it together, by myself, just fine. Just follow the instructions and you own't have a problem. It truly folds with juts one hand, is durable, beautiful and I'm so overjoyed that this exceeded my expectations. If you're interested in this product, buy it! You will not be disappointed!!!
28 of 33 people found the following review helpful.The description says "Multi-position reclining seatembrace 35 sport infant car seat" and it does not recline. The Owner's Manual shows a base that has a button to adjust the base to level it, but the base that comes with it doesn't have this feature. I tried calling and Evenflo confirmed that the base that goes with this model doesn't have this feature. So now I have to buy the $50 adjustable base because otherwise my baby is going to be sitting almost completely upright, or I have to put 3+ towels under it which doesn't seem very secure or safe.
