[5 Stars]: Awesome!
Firstly, I bought this as a first stroller, and it has everything that we need. I saw reviews that said things like "works for what we use it for", but what else do you need? For it to sprout wings and fly your baby to your destination? Lol. I can't believe that this is one of their cheap models! I'm curious to know what their expensive models have extra that makes them worth it. I do not drive; I walk to the grocery store, 7-11, doctor's office, friends' homes, park, etc., and my son comes with me in his stroller for all of it. The best part of this stroller - protection from the hot, summer sun! (That's exactly why I bought this one, and yay, I was not disappointed). I read a review saying there was a safety issue. Actually, it was the fact that the baby can lean all the way forward, which they can do in any stroller without shoulder straps, so his old stroller allowed him to do that, and I assure you, there is NO safety problem with this stroller. He will not fall out, yet he can still move around. The only child you would have to worry about is one who can't hold their body up on their own yet, and a baby that young should still be using the carseat in the stroller anyway. The parent cup holder isn't great, but I don't see th
[4 Stars]: Very happy with this stroller
I bought this for my third child about a month ago and I am very happy with it. Here are the pro's and con's:
PRO:
1. VERY lightweight and compact. When folded the handle bar slides in so that it doesn't make the stroller longer and takes up less space.
2. Really does fold easily with one hand
3. Has a snack tray which is very useful and which most umbrella and other lightweight strollers don't have
4. It accepts my Graco car seat. It doesn't click into place but seems to be secure.
5. Very easy to maneuver, even with one hand. it's a city stroller, but even rides pretty smooth on the wood chips at the park.
6. Large accessible storage basket
CONS:
1. The seat does not recline flat. This is a problem with many strollers, even some of the full size ones. I will never understand why they can't just add a couple of inches of fabric to make it recline all the way back. It reclines almost flat, and my 3 month old sleeps comfortably in it, but I would not recommend for that newborn floppy phase.
2. No parent tray. Didn't even realize how much I used it with my old stroller, but now wish this one had a tray to drop my keys and a pacifier in. The water bottle holder is not helpful and falls off every time I fold the stroller, I tossed it.
3. The shoulder straps cannot be completely removed like in the Graco strollers. I never used these and would love to take them out entirely. What you can do is take the seat padding off and slide only the leg straps back through.
Would give it 5 stars if the back rest reclined all the way down. Over all very good stroller.
[2 Stars]: Not a bad stroller, but has safety concerns
Peg-Perego 2009 Aria OH Stroller, Titanio
I recently purchased this stroller after reading the detailed and exceptional reviews of this stroller. I have a Chicco Cortina stroller which is great for younger infants, but since my baby is now an early toddler, I felt it was time to purchase something more compact and lightweight. This is a nice looking stroller and has all of the needed features, the snack tray, a nice sized rain cover, large storage basket, etc. However, my biggest concern with this stroller was the "freedom of movement" harness. This is a 5 point harness that DOES NOT attach to the seat back, in order to allow the child to move around freely. There is a small tab on the back of the harness that you insert into a slit in the seat back in order to strap the child into the stroller and once you've adjusted and secured the "5 points" of the harness, you un-insert the tab to allow free movement. I discovered that the harness automatically detaches itself when the child moves slightly. This is where I really became concerned. There is nothing to secure the back of the harness to the seat. The child can lean ALL the way forward. There's nothing to prevent a child whether a supported or unsupported sitter from slamming forward into the snack tray on the front of the stroller. I tested the stroller one time only and was just not comfortable with the fact that my toddler was bouncing around all around. I can't imagine how a small infant would be secure in this stroller, at all. I expected a lot better from Peg Perego. I understand that this is one of the "lesser" expensive models from them, but there is no excuse for lack of safety, in any price range. I'm no expert on stroller making, but it would be so simple and perfect if Peg anchored an adjustable strap to the seat back that snapped onto the back harness, which would allow free movement, without allowing a child to lean all the way forward. I give a big thumbs up to Amazon for understanding this issue, and allowing me to return this stroller. I purchased the Maclaren Triumph, and so far so good. There was a recall for Maclaren umbrella strollers (a self imposed recall by Maclaren) due to the nationwide concerns for fingers getting caught and pinched in folding hinges and possible amputation. Maclaren will send out a hinge cover kit free of charge, but most of the newer models (like the one I just purchased) already have the hinge covers.
