5.0 out of 5 stars This stroller rocks!, August 5, 2009

By	J. Crone (Orlando, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The First Years Magna Light Travel System (Baby Product)

First, let me say that I am a mother of 4 children. My first three were all very close together, so I haven't been in the market for a stroller in a while. However, #4 was a sweet surprise, so I needed to buy pretty much everything all over again. This was difficult simply because I had loved my Graco City Lite set I bought in 2001.

I did lots of research. My main issues are that I can't stand a big huge heavy stroller and I wanted a drink holder. This stroller is perfect - not too heavy at all, yet not an umbrella jobbie. It has a great cup holder, though an oversize drink will not fit. No worries, though, because there is also a tray which can accomodate diffent size items. With 4 kids, I drive an Expedition and with the 3rd row in, there isn't much room left in the way back. The stoller takes up most of the space. But, I can tell you that the full size strollers won't let the door close...and you better be in shape if you're lifting 35+ pounds up into the vehicle each time! The stroller has been great both reclined and now as my son begins to sit. The 5 point harness in the stroller helps hold him in place nicely. Again, the stroller is big enough to hold him, the diaper bag and my stuff, as well as small enough to manuever through stores easily.

The other BIG pro I loved about this set was that the carseat has, hands down, the best infant head support I have seen out there. Most of the carseats come with a ring piece, but this one has thicker padding on each side of the head. The result? No nodding, floppy head on my newborn! Now, there is a negative about the carseat which my husband wants me to mention and that is that the seat does not sit in shopping carts very well (the small part where bigger kids sit). The latching mechanism at the back is in a high spot and when you put the seat in the cart, the seat is leaning way back. I have not found this to be an issue, but it bothers him.

The seat has a very comfortable handle - the wide corners make carrying the chair in the crook of your arm possible and painless. I also love the colors. The pictures don't really show how rich the colors look.

Overall, this stroller has exceeded my expectations and I just wanted anyone checking it out to know how happy I have been with it. I was nervous when I ordered it because there weren't many reviews, but I haven't looked back once with regret on this purchase :)

4.0 out of 5 stars More than expected., March 3, 2009

By	Rebecca J Puck "Leily" (Muscatine, IA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The First Years Magna Light Travel System (Baby Product)

I cannot say enough good things about this stroller. I ordered it 5 weeks early to make sure I would have time to play around with it before our daughter arrived, but she came the day I ordered it, 5 3 days weeks early. We have not been able to use it with her yet, but we are thoroughly impressed with the construction and our favorite part is that the infant seat sits Inside the stroller instead of latching onto the tray like many other brands do.

With me being 5' and the dad being 6'5" the adjustable handle was a surprise, but it will work great for us. And the little handle on the side to help carry the stroller when it is folded is so helpful, along with the "kick stand" support so it will stand on its own when folded. When they say one hand folding, they actually mean it; I can do it while holding the infant carrier in my other hand without any problems. Another nice thing about it is that the tray comes up when folded instead of down like a lot of other systems also, so it won't take a beating. At only 17#'s I was worried about the durability, but again it is one of the best built ones we have seen yet.

The only reason I give it 4 stars is because I haven't been able to use it yet, but I have no doubts that it will be 5 stars once put into action.

5.0 out of 5 stars cool, October 25, 2008

By	S. Korea - See all my reviews

This review is from: The First Years Magna Light Travel System - Plum (Baby Product)

I loved this stroller once I got it! The color choice seemed right, so dad wouldn't have to feel "not so cool" pushing around the typical pink girlie stroller. It was extremely easy to put together and the features are numerous. The quality of the stroller is wonderful and the fabric felt nice too.
