Thank you for the clarification. I've changed my rating. I hope you will still consider adding to the review once you've traveled with it and/or used it a bit more.

One more thought on durability. Sometimes it is clear that you have bought something low quality from the start. However, if something works well out of the box, you don't know what the durability will be until the thing breaks down. I have reviewed things on epinions that subsequently broke after I wrote a glowing review. I always make it a point to go back and update the review if I have had a bad experience with the product after using it for an extended period. My point is that long-term durability shouldn't make the difference between a helpful and very helpful review. If we all had to use our items for months or years before writing a review, I think the appeal of epinions would be greatly diminished.

Hey Marytara,

Perhaps I should have been more clear in my review, but I have been using this stroller for about a month to get used to it before we take it on the big trip. I think that is enough time to get the feel for how it works and travels for day to day use. You are right, we haven't taken it on a flight yet or logged in Disney miles yet but I don't think that should be the criteria for how well I know the stroller. Besides, most readers are more interested in the day to day usage. I would be happy to update after the trip but I don't expect to be able to add much more information than what I already know. Disney is magical but it probably won't impact my stroller usage.

Thanks for the explanation of your rating but I have to disagree with your reasoning.

I gather from reading this review that you just got this stroller and haven't used it very much at all yet which is why I rated it Helpful and not Very Helpful.


I'd be interested in reading more about this stroller and your opinions on it once you've used it more and how it holds up on your trip to Disney and/or after some more actual usage of the product.


Please let me know if you come back and add to the review with regards to the product's durability.

Re: why didn't they have 5 point harnesses (Reply to this comment)

I have an eight year old and it is amazing to me how far baby gear has come. It is completely different than it was when my oldest was born. Luckily, it seems all the changes are for the good.

Thanks for the comment!

10 years ago? I know exactly what you mean. Both of my children could maneuver of the stroller very easily.

Great review,

Peggy
