We own the EasyWalker Sky in orange and it is a gorgeous stroller. The basin below is roomy enough for several items and the push bar adjusts for heights. I am 5'4 and my husband is 6'4, we can both push the stroller without straining our shoulders or arms. The stroller pushes like a breeze and provides a ride free of jostling on most terrain. All in all a great stroller if you take your little one off the beaten track. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is that the sun shade really doesn't shade your baby enough if you live in a sunny climate. We are in Texas and have bought the additional UV/Mosquito net to go with the stroller, I wish this came included in the base model. I would shop around for the price though, we got ours on a mamma bargin site for just over $230 including shipping.

I initially really liked the stroller when my daughter was an infant. With the separate purchase of a graco car seat adapter, I could transfer my daughter easily to the stroller, and off we'd go for long dog walks in the park. My daughter is now ready to use the regular seat that comes with this stroller.

Here are the pro's:
1. It's a smooth ride. Stroller is super easy to turn with one hand.
2. Does well on rougher terrain.
3. It's a good looking stroller.
4. It's fairly light for its size.
5. It stands when folded (but not super sturdy.)

Here are the biggest cons as I see them:
1. The sunshade is way too small.
2. The method to recline the seat is cumbersome and definitely requires all hands (and a third if you have one.) It's impossible to smoothly recline the seat for napping if she is sitting in it. To recline, users must unzip either 1 or 2 zippers on each side of the seat (depending on how far to recline) and if one side is unzipped and the other isn't yet, my daughter is left hanging crooked until both sides are zipped/unzipped evenly. Zippers are somewhat blocked by the stroller sides as well, so it's difficult to reach around/behind the stroller side-bars.
3. It's a pain to fold. You need 2 free hands, and a 3rd would even be useful to release the safety while still compressing the left & right latches.
4. Granted, it probably wasn't designed for a car-seat adapter so this complaint must be taken in that light: It's "top" heavy when the graco seat is mounted and if you are walking on a bit of rougher terrain or slanted paths, it does have a tendency to keel over. Beware!

I would not purchase this stroller again.

I bought this stroller after a lot of research, but there were some things I couldn't have predicted.

Good things: It's good for tall people (my husband is 6'4" tall, and can easily push it) and the steering is nice. It's also pretty light, but let's face it, once a kid is in there, it's going to be heavy anyways.

However:

1. Don't buy this stroller unless you have lots of experience fixing flat tires. My tires went flat over and over, multiple flats in each wheel, each one requiring my husband to take apart the tire, remove the innertube, hold it underwater to find the hole, and patch it with a kit. Obviously, this didn't work on the road.

2. Don't even think about putting this in the trunk of your car unless it's the only thing in there. We don't own a car, and when we travel, we rent. Often, this stroller didn't come along, because it is HUGE, even when folded. Oh, it's huge at home as well, and we have to keep in in the spare bedroom (away from the children) because it tips easily when folded.

3. Don't even think about bringing this beast along if you take public transport. We brought it to Paris. Only once we were there did we realize that all the locals have MacLarens and other lightweight strollers for a reason-it is so wide that it doesn't fit through the Metro gates. It also TIPPED OVER on the bus once with the bassinet attachment (thankfully no baby was in it) when the bus went around a tight turn. Not very safe.

4. The zipper sides for adjusting the angle of the seat is okay, if you've got two free hands and a second person to make sure your child's head doesn't smack the back of the diaper bag or whatever else on the way down. Also, there's not a firm back panel behind the head, so my daughter, at 25 pounds (way below the weight limit) and 37 inches was far too tall-she couldn't rest her head because it would bob backwards.

5. Don't buy it if you like good customer service, or actually any customer service at all. I tried twice to contact them about the tires and an accessory, the easyboard (for older kids to stand on) they never even acknowledged receiving my email, let alone having any suggestions.

Basically, for this amount of money, you can get a much better stroller.

The steering is amazing on this stroller- I can steer one handed while walking dog. Don't love the sun shade (could be bigger) and the fold is not super easy, but once you're used to it, no big deal. Overall we love it and got it for a steal also on Mamabargains.com so we're happy.

We LOVE this stroller. It's easy to unfold and fold, has a good-sized basket underneath and it rides very smoothly. The maneuverability is great, I can push it and turn with one hand. Great for when I have to open doors. I also love how the handle height is adjustable. Right now we're using it with our infant car seat and it's been wonderful.
