I shopped thoroughly on the internet and in bricks and mortar stores for a new stroller. My old one was a circa 1999 Century Travel System. It worked fine for my 4 year old when he was a baby, but now it won't open all the way. It was recalled and we ...

Cons: bulky when folded, kind of heavy, wheels came off with a lot of use

Cons: Not for use on uneven sidewalks; quickly became unaligned

Pros: It rolls - Looks nice
Cons: safety HAZARD, straps are a pain, canopy is a pain, not worth the money
