However it's not as easy to maneuver as our other 4-wheel strollers, and the mechanism to lock it is a bit hazy. It involves pressing an icon on the front of the stroller, closing a flap on the foot area, and lifting a handle. We'd prefer a simpler method that just clicks in place or opens by pulling.
Stroller Weight
The weight of the overall stroller is a significant factor to consider. A stroller that is heavier is more stable and will perform better on uneven terrain. However, a lot of parents find that a stroller with a lighter weight is more maneuverable and more suitable for use in everyday situations.

These tires can endure contact with different surfaces more often and last longer.
Strollers with swivel wheel on the front are perfect for safely navigating escalators and stairs. Falls on escalators or stairs are the most common stroller-related injuries and can be particularly dangerous for infants.

Some strollers come as a travel system which includes both the car seat and the stroller. These products are often more expensive and less convenient than their standalone counterparts, and they may not be as effective in the long run. Many parents regret buying bundle products because they may not have all the features they want or be incompatible with their car or child seat. If you plan to upgrade in the future, we recommend that you purchase a stroller separately from car seats or capsules.
