5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this instead of a Maclaren!!!, July 22, 2007

This review is from: Baby Planet Solo Sport Stroller Crimson (Baby Product)

I needed an umbrella stroller and I was all ready to buy a Maclaren Quest because of the good reviews. But I saw this at the store next to the Maclaren Quest and fell in love right away. Not only does it look better, the Maclaren looks downright cheap next to it. The fabric is much better on the Baby Planet, the fabric on the Maclaren looks and feels like a cheap pair of khakis. The Baby Planet feels more like a piece of good luggage, like a Tumi.

The Baby Planet has a much more comfortable looking seat because it is padded (unlike the Maclaren), and the hood is much more substantial. Also, it folded much easier. When I tried to fold the Maclaren, I could barely get it to work. I also could barely fit my foot between the rear wheels to activate the wheel locks on the Maclaren.

On the Baby Planet, you just push up on the leg rest to adjust it up. You push a round button to push it back down. On the Maclaren, you have to pull out little pieces of metal on each side to get the leg rest to be horizontal. Finally, when I saw how the seat reclined on the Baby Planet, I was sold. There are straps under the seat tied together by a plastic restraint. You simple pull on the plastic restraint, this loosens the straps, and the seat reclines to ANY angle you want!! I have never seen this before but it makes perfect sense. The Maclaren has 4 positions only, like most strollers.

When I assembled it, it was super easy (took about 5 minutes) and the pieces all feel well made. The wheels are also bigger than the wheels that come on a Maclaren, which makes for a more comforable ride. I just took it for a trip, it pushes like a dream.

The only complaint I have is that there are metal bars that criss-cross through the center of the storage basket.

Otherwise, this is the stroller I have been waiting for! Lightweight and well made!

2.0 out of 5 stars Baby Planet Solo Sport stroller, April 19, 2008

By 

Sofia's mommy (NYC, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Baby Planet Solo Sport Stroller Charcoal (Baby Product)

I purchased a Baby Planet Solo Sport stroller based on the great reviews it has received. After one week, I sold the Solo Sport and purchased a 2008 Maclaren Quest Sport. I couldn't be more happier with my Maclaren purchase. The Baby Planet has 3 features that are better than the Maclaren: (1) the latch on the 5 point harness is easier to open & close (2) the extendable leg rest is more user friendly and (3) does not tip over with several shopping bags on the handles. The following are the reasons why I sold the Solo Sport ASAP and RAN to buy a Maclaren: (1) bulkiness (2) heaviness (no, it's not lightweight) (3) not suitable for tall moms (I'm 5'11"); I constantly kicked the rear wheels (4) with shopping bags on the back, I actually had to walk hunched over....very uncomfortable, (5) cannot wheel the stroller up & down stairs because the rear brakes protrude from each wheel and (6) I could NOT push this stroller with one hand. In fact, even with 2 hands it was cumbersome. I addressed my concerns with Baby Planet by email and mail and have yet to hear a response. Based on my experience of test-driving several strollers and buying the Baby Planet Solo Sport, I am now a diehard Maclaren fan/customer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Generally great , but a few issues, March 6, 2008

By 

Framboise "Sarah B" (SF, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Baby Planet Solo Sport Stroller Cobalt Blue (Baby Product)

We just purchased this and are generally very pleased with the stroller. It seems sturdy, is easy to fold and unfold, and has a nice sunshade, cupholder, and cushiony seat for our 6 month old. He seems very comfortable. Steering is easy, and I like that it is quite narrow.

A few things came up that almost made us return it - the main issue being that the handles are not extensible, like they are on the deluxe model. Since we live in a very hilly neighborhood, longer handles would be easier on the back, especially for my husband (who is 5'10")

The second issue is the cross bar in the basket, which makes it difficult to carry large objects. But this is minor. The stroller is sturdy and balanced, so there have been no tipping problems with a full diaper bag hanging from the handlebars.

In general, we're happy with the price/quality of this stroller, and I love that it can be recycled or repurposed by the company when we're done with it.
