so happy with this stroller!
July 19, 2010
I bought this stroller towards the end of 2009. I had originally purchased the Quattro Tour travel system from BRU and the stroller was so big that I couldn't fit it in the trunk of my car. I have a 2-door car, so I had to keep it behind the driver's seat whenever I wanted to use it. I searched for weeks to find a mid-size light weight stroller. I couldn't believe that I found a Metrolite for so cheap in such a great color. It looks even better in person. The green is a little more olive than it is lime, but it's a beautiful color and I love that the rest is brown. When it was delivered, I had to assemble most of it, but it was very simple. There are two parent cup holders and a great tray for the child with 2 snack holders and a cup holder. The basket is a great size - it didn't seem any smaller than the large basket on the Quattro Tour. The only downside is that the wheels have to be turned a certain way to fold it up, but that wasn't an issue for me. For the price and functionality of the stroller, turning the wheels everytime you fold it up is hardly a reason to turn away from product. I also LOVE that the handle folds under for storage. As the other reviewer stated, there is still some bulk to this when folded, but even in my very small car, I have a ton of space. I have a 2-door (clown car!) Ford Escort and can fit this stroller, an umbrella stroller, pack n play, travel booster seat, a suitcase, and a bunch of toys. Need I say more? I would recommend this stroller to anyone and I couldn't be happier that I gave it a chance.
Pros
- 1. 2 parent cup holders

- 3. Large basket
- 4. Folding handle
- 5. Three-position recline (may not seem like enough, but it's perfect)
- 6. The COLOR - the brown is great and the green is better than pictured; great for a boy or girl
- 7. LIGHT-WEIGHT!!!!
- 8. Canopy is large - on other strollers I've had to use the Protect-A-Bub canopy to extend it
- 9. Fabric is thick, but not hot.. it seems to breathe well and my son is very comfortable in this stroller even in the middle of summer
