Love Britax Cowmooflage!
April 15, 2012
I just received my stroller a few days ago. It was very easy to assemble, but would have been even easier if the parts had been labeled "left" and "right." Also, the metal parts on the wheels come covered in foam, and it is not clear if it should be removed or not. It is quite difficult to remove, but it must come off before putting the wheels on. The stroller itself is beautiful. The white part is acually a combination of white and ivory that makes it look more "real." The stroller is incredibly sturdy, and it turns on a dime. I love how the brake simply needs to be stepped on to put them on or take them off instead of the typical brakes that have to be lifted and scuff shoes. I also like the basket underneath. It is large and the back part effortlessly comes down to get stuff out without interrupting baby. It does not fall down on it's own, either, which I have had happen on other strollers. The fact that the parent handle is adjustable is wonderful, and the parent cup/junk holder is very nice. Occasionally, when I go to fold the stroller, the child tray sticks and is difficult to lift. However, folding is really easy and the stroller stays in an upright position when folded instead of laying on the ground. Also, I purchased a graco snugride to use with this system. I know that it says it is compatible with the graco safeseat but does not mention the snugride. The snugride manual says that it should not be used with any stroller other than a graco stroller (sales pitch in my mind). The stroller comes with a strap that goes through the vehicle seat belt holders to secure the car seat into the stroller. The part of the car seat that clicks onto the car seat base does not attach to the tray, but the car seat fits into the stroller nicely and is very snug when used with the adapter strap. When I turn the stroller, one wheel sounds like it is rubbing against something, but I cannot identify what it is. Overall, I absolutely love this stroller and would buy it again in a heartbeat...especially at such a discounted price! I wouldn't pay the regular retail price for it, but I wouldn't pay that for any stroller. It feels like it will last through several kids. Plus, it's just so cute. I am so impressed with this britax product that I eventually want to buy the britax chaperone cowmooflage car seat to go with it instead of my mismatched graco snugride. I love this stroller!
