terrible front wheels

I have a 9 month old son and I am now searching for a new stroller. The front wheels on this stroller will "lock" up constantly. The only way to get anywhere is to either kick them back into the exact position (both of them) to get them to go, or to pop a wheelie and push it on back tires only. I knew... read full review »

Contour Lite Plus Problems

I got this stroller for Christmas to replace another light weight stroller of a different brand that I had used for three years with two kids. I used this Contour stroller for two months and the front wheelers are warped and will not roll correctly...the stroller is unusable. I have been using the stroller for my two year old son who weights 32 lbs (within the weight limit). The first month the stroller worked great as I liked the design though the buttons on the tray table are hard to depress to lift the tray...however, the problem with the cheap, plastic front wheels needs to be addressed. I... read full review »

wish I didn't buy

I bought this excited and within no time the front wheels messed up. I can't use it, I have had 4 strollers before and this was the most expensive and worse! I wouldn't recommend.

Wouldn't recommend

We bought this stroller 8 months ago after reading great reviews on it. Initially, I was pretty happy with it, especially the ease with which it maneuvered. Well, in the last couple of weeks, the front wheels began sticking sideways making it impossible to propel forward without first popping the stroller back on the rear wheels to let the front wheels reposition. So when I bent down to inspect the wheels, I noticed that the seat fabric was fraying as well. I called Kolcraft and they were very easy to work with. They will be sending me new front wheels and a seat; however, I just can't believe... read full review »

Seemed great, but easily Disappointed

I researched this & checked every review. They were all good, so we went ahead with a purchase of this stroller. We bought it on a Wednesday, used it for the first time Thursday & loved everything it had to offer. All seemed good & even raved about it. Saturday, the front wheels started squeaking, like they needed some grease. Then by Sunday, the front wheel snapped off. Disappointment set in, plus some embarrassment. It was the only mode of transport for our 22lb toddler for the rest of our vacation. Back to Returns it went in just about a weeks time. Plus side it, Sears has a great guarantee... read full review »

pretty good stroller

I just purchased this stroller because it is lightweight & compact. I am satisfied with the stroller in those respects. A few minor complaints...the canopy would be nice if it could move to protect the baby from the sun during different times of the day & the snack tray is not all that easy to get out when removing the baby. Other than that, this is a great stroller for the money & really handles well! I would recommend it.

I purchased this stroller for an upcoming trip as my current stroller is too large and cumbersome to travel with. This stroller was so easy to assemble. I did it myself in less than 20 minutes. It maneuvers easily around tight corners. My son loves riding in it. Overall,I was pleased with the purchase. It is a great stroller for the money.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS STROLLER

My husband and I did quite a bit of research before we decided on this stroller. It is the best for the money. We had a travel system and the stroller was just to big and bulky. We actually sold it in a garage sale on Saturday and bought this one on the exact same day. My Husband was even able to assemble it in the parking lot of the mall.

Great except for the tray

I was looking for a stroller that was narrow, easy to maneuver and had a tray for snacks and drinks. It's not that easy a combination to find as most of the smaller strollers do not have trays. This stroller fits the bill and had good reviews. The stroller was really easy to put together and looks really nice. The small front wheels make it very maneuverable. The basket is very nice sized (although it is open in the front, which I think might make it easy for some things to fall out). The adjustable handle height is great. I was really pleased with this stroller until I put my son in it. The tray... read full review »

good buy

I purchased this stroller for my 9 month old daughter to take to Disney World with my other two girls. My husband and I are both tall, this stroller is a pleasure to push. The basket is large for a smaller stroller. The recline feature could be designed better but overall this stroller pushes great and has a lot of features for the price.

I love this!

I bought this stroller spur of the moment when I was at the mall with my 2 month old and forgot his stroller. I love it. It was great for him at that age because it has shoulder straps and a removable head support. And it still works great for him 6 months later. It seems to be very comfortable and it is light weight and easy to use. I can take it anywhere, and my english bulldog puppy loves to ride in the basket underneath!

My toddler loves it!

My son is 20 months old and weighs 26 lbs and I've been using a more expensive stroller by Inglesina for the past 16 months, but it was it was causing me severe shoulder pain becasue it's so hard to turn. I bought this Kolcraft stroller because of the reviews and just as others stated, it was very easy to assemble and maneuver. After I put it together I placed my son inside and pushed him around for a couple minutes to see how it moves and how he fits--the child tray is high but the stroller looks good and it maneuvers easily. Then I took him out and put him back in the old stroller to compare... read full review »
