54 of 55 people found the following review helpful.I was looking for a new stroller for my upcoming third child. I had a Graco Metrolite for my first two children which I liked very much. I purchased it in 2005 and it's held up since, but the Metrolite is showing some wear so hubby and I decided we should invest in a new light weight stroller. I originally thought I wanted a smaller version of a full sized stroller (like the Jeep Cherokee Sport Stroller) but after a number of visits to Universal Studios and Disneyland, I realized how much I enjoyed having 1) a big basket to store jackets, snacks, the diaper bag, etc., 2) having cup holders for our drinks, and 3) a full reclining seat for the little one to take a nap. And especially now more than ever since we'll have 3 children (more stuff to carry in the stroller!).Some of the higher end brands didn't have a big enough basket for us, so we eliminated those options. We decided to stick w/ Graco since it's been a reliable brand for us. We tried out several Graco models, and found them frustrating to fold down. Hubby and I had difficulty using the rolling mechanism on the handles of most models, and were seeking the similar fold down style on the Metrolite (a push button/handle on the parent cup holder). The "Fast Action Fold" model also proved to be somewhat of an annoyance for us to fold down also. Alas, I came across the UrbanLite model and saw that it had the features I was seeking! I tried going to several baby stores to see and try out this stroller in person, but none of the stores I went to carry this model. So in faith, I purchased this and hoped it met my expectations.The stroller just arrived this past weekend, and I do have to say the UrbanLite has exceeded my expectations!Pros:1) Easy to assemble - My 38 week pregnant self was able to easily put this stroller together.2) The basket is big and roomy!3) It has microfiber detailing, makes the stroller feel more luxurious4) The canopy can detach and you can adjust it up/down to block the sun's rays from baby5) Reclines flat (most other Graco models I tried out don't seem to do that)6) The Vance pattern is nice and neutral - good for boys or girls7) Lightweight and compact - It weighs under 20 lbs, and it actually folds up smaller than my old Metrolite and takes up less space in my trunk8) Handle is adjustable for shorter/taller parents9) Comes with the matching SnugRide 30 Infant car seat, which also feels luxurious compared to my old SnugRide.10) You can lock the front wheels to easily maneuver over gravel and grass. Neat feature!11) It has the same fold down feature as the Metrolite!Cons:1) No peek-a-boo window in the canopy2) The seat can only adjust to 3 levels (upright, slight recline, and full/flat recline)3) When you raise the seat again after a recline postion, the side covers bunch up. You have to go in from the front end and push the fabric back down. This is a bit annoying, but overall a minor inconvenience for me.Overall, I would highly recommend this stroller! So glad I was able to find this model available on Amazon!
15 of 15 people found the following review helpful.I really like this travel system. Pros: it's lite, easy to fold, folds relatively flat, fits in the trunk of my Corolla nicely, infant seat goes to 30 lbs., neutral colors, nice fabric, easy to put together, rolls smoothly, adjustable handle. Cons: storage basket doesn't drop down for access, no peakaboo window. Otherwise it suits its purpose just fine. I would recommend this to a friend. I've had my product for about a month now and I still like it very much.
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful.My little girl is now 3 months old and so far we've been very happy with the travel system. It was bought for us as a gift, but I have to agree with other reviews that the item cycled in and out of stock constantly. The best price was when sold directly through Amazon.Pros:+ Baby adores her car seat and the infant insert gives her good head support.+ The rotating canopy is so useful to ensure that baby is always shaded, and the stroller and car seat canopies overlap to protect from rain or bright sunlight.+ The basket is big and stores our large diaper bag, plus a blanket, plus my purse with space to spare.+ The pattern is great, and baby loves to stare at the geometric pattern on the inside of the canopy.+ The seat of the stroller reclines flat, and the flap at the bottom can fold up to form a bassinet.+ The recline function is a pair of metal bars which are squeezed together to change the angle. I found this mechanism much easier to use than the "drawstring" on other Graco models.+ Easy to fold up - just squeeze the mechanism on the handle and step on the edge of the basket.+ I liked that the stroller was able to stand upright when folded, and the tray table etc. need not make contact with the ground.+ My husband is a foot taller than I am, and the adjustable handle for the stroller makes things easy for both of us.Cons:- Assembly was generally easy, but we struggled to close one of the sets of poppers that attach the material to the storage basket. We decided this wasn't worth the hassle of returning the product and we eventually managed - with two people and a pair of pliers...- The seat of the stroller needs to be reclined for the car seat to click into place, but this makes it difficult to reach into the storage basket.- The car seat clicks into the stroller, but there are also some elastic straps that have to be placed into slots on each side. The extra two steps can be a pain.- Undoing the car seat straps is often difficult. I understand that a child cannot be able to take of his/her own seatbelt, but I struggle.Overall, I'm happy with the product and would recommend it to others!
