Great lightweight stroller
I'm very satisified with this stroller: it is lightweight, easy to fold and open up, and easy to drive around. It folds up really small, has a harness that can be used as a 3- or 5-point, and it can recline up to about 60 degrees (=more than halfway between straight up and lying flat). It is also rather stylish, in colors that are fun and modern (and totally acceptable...

I bought this stroller based on some reviews. The majority were good including Consumer Reports. But a couple reviews mentioned this poor sitting position.

Great lightweight stroller, November 28, 2007
I'm very satisified with this stroller: it is lightweight, easy to fold and open up, and easy to drive around. It folds up really small, has a harness that can be used as a 3- or 5-point, and it can recline up to about 60 degrees (=more than halfway between straight up and lying flat). It is also rather stylish, in colors that are fun and modern (and totally acceptable for Dads) and that also don't show dirt too much.
My only regret is that the basket is not bigger -but I guess for that you'd probably need a bigger stroller altogether, which isn't what I was after.
Oh! Also, my son (6 m.o.) regularly falls asleep in it, which he hadn't done since he was a newborn. So that's the vote for the comfort level, right?

The search is over..., April 10, 2008
I love this stroller! I have owned 6 strollers in total for my 20 month old and was never satisfied. My daughter is big for her age and the light-weight strollers didn't feel too sturdy when I would turn the stroller. This one moves great and turns smoothly on a dime!
The basket is the perfect size for my diaper bag and the one-hand fold is great! The only drawback is the lack of a cup holder for the parents, but I ordered the Buddy Buggy organizer and think this will work out great!
My daughter loves the stroller and has plenty of room to grow into it. It's umbrella-style fold leaves plenty of room in the trunk of my SUV for groceries.
I am relieved to be able to stop searching for the perfect stroller, since I have found it!!!

Terrible sitting position, April 6, 2008
I bought this stroller based on some reviews. The majority were good including Consumer Reports. But a couple reviews mentioned this poor sitting position. The stroller has an adjustable seat but in the full upright position you can very lightly pull back on the seat and it will drop right down to a 45 degree position. The very motion of my toddler getting in to the seat and sitting back, for example, was enough to push the seat back. I returned the unit. Luckily, Amazon has this postage paid (Amazon picks up the bill) return option.

Great for heavy babies, very sturdy, easy to use, February 2, 2009
I bought this stroller for my heavy 1 year old daughter, and sometimes my 3 year old uses it, I had a Chicco umbrella that fell apart.
The pros:
Sturdy
Manuevers well, even with very heavy children
Tall handles, I am 5'9" and my husband is 6'1" and it fits perfectly
Very compact size, fits through shopping aisles in crowded stores
Easy to fold, one step
Reclines easily and enough for a child to fall asleep in
Easy locking wheels
When folded it is very compact would fit perfectly in a small car
Very comfortable, even has an option to lower or lift the leg rest
Nice size basket that is easy to get to
The price is pretty reasonable, it is cheaper than the Maclaren and nicer in many ways
Cons:
The directions to put it together were not very clear, MAKE sure you don't put the wheels on before opening the stroller. Also the canopy has a specific spot it has to go on the stroller, but the directions don't make that clear, if you just pop the canopy on near the handles it will come off easily.
This is not a super light stroller, but it is not ridiculously heavy like a jogging stroller.
I have three kids age 8, 3 and 1 and have had many strollers, this is the best buy I have made, I am very happy with it

Great Stroller for Big kids, November 4, 2008
I did a lot of research on several Light weight strollers, before settling for this one, based on the reviews and the best selling items. My son who's 3+ yrs old is 42" tall and none of the light weight strollers seemed to accomodate his height...I bought the MacLauren stroller from Target only to find his head dangling backwards as there's a gap b/w the seat and the canopy.Finally I chose this one on amazon and belive me the amazon best selling items never dissappoint you...The customer reviews are worth considering and I was happy i did...It's a great stroller , light weight, easily foldable and I just don't have to excert pressure to push the stroller, ...It goes upto 40 lbs and that's awesome..The features are very much same as the Maclauren, except that this's more comfortable for the kid and seems more durabl too..and yah..it's a $20/0 less too...The pricing on amazon was just great....I highly recommend this product to tall kids...They just don't have to stoop any more sitting in a stroller....

I wish I found it sooner!, February 23, 2009
This review is from: Graco IPO Stroller, Navarro (Baby Product)
We looked in every store at strollers, trying to find one to fit our 32 pound 3 year old who is a bit tall. I did NOT want a big jogger and did not want to pay 300 bucks for a big name. We did look at an IPO at Target. It felt solid and was easy to push, but I did not like the print at all. Also, when I tried it out the canopy wouldn't stay clipped, so I just moved along.
I am so glad I found the IPO here at amazon in different prints. I was still nervous about the canopy, but after reading all the reviews I figured it must have just been assembled wrong on display.
Now, when I assembled mine (very easy) it did take a minute or two to find the exact place where the canopy hooks on, which is why some people may be having trouble (because the instructions aren't super clear on this point, the pegs are a bit hidden down the pole under the fabric).
This stroller is great for me. I wanted something for an older child and it goes up to 55 pounds (50 in the handbook). Something that would fit in a small car (perfectly). I don't mind that it is a little heavy, it is so sturdy and so small it is easy to move around.
I only wish we found this stroller years ago. We used the big stroller with the carseat combo until it wore out. What a giant bulky monster compared to this dreamboat! The carrier underneath can hold water bottle, cellphone, etc. But I have just ordered the reccomended Buggy Buddy accessory, since it will really make this the perfect stroller (for me).

Strollin', April 15, 2008
I bought this stroller after searching for a sturdy yet light weight sto-and-go stroller. The price is what I would consider reasonable and the quality of it so far is excellent. It shipped quickly and I didn't have to assemble it.
The canopy is detachable and small. I can't see it really blocking out a majority of the sun, but it seems somewhat practical. The seat has a five point harness system that is easy to use and holds my little guy in there safely. The basket under the stroller is actually pretty decent sized since this is supposed to be an umbrella stroller equivilant. I could easily put a light jacket under there and some other odds and ends. Maybe not a big ol' diaper bag, but I wouldn't expect to be able to since this is a small, fold up stroller not a full sized stroller. The seat does recline with the flick of a tab but ours doesn't easily slip in and out of place like another reviewers did. The seat sits fairly upright and is a nice leaned back position when fully reclined.
The stroller easily manuevers around the sidewalks and side streets of our city. It is stable and turns quickly. The handles are tall enough for my 6'2" husband but still in a comfortable place for me at 5'2". The rear wheel base is a bit narrow for my husband's liking. Because his stride and foot size is larger then mine, he kicks the back tires or brace with his feet if he doesn't really watch it. I don't have this problem though.
It folds up pretty easily, and even though it takes using both hands right now, I can tell that the more I use it I may be able to close it with only one hand. It is light enough to carry and folds up small enough to fit easily in the trunk of our car. Opening it? Now that's a different story. You are supposed to push with your foot on this little spot on the back and lock the stroller open. I've done this and several times, it doesn't really lock even though you see and hear the click of the "lock". I've had the stroller collapse in on my son when I put him in it. Not cool. One time I had to practically jump on the pedal/lock to get it to really lock. But then, other times it easily locks in place like no big deal. Maybe I'm just new at using it or something. It's a "User Error" & not a problem with the actual stroller, I'm sure.
Overall, I really like this stroller and don't think I'll buy any other stroller. I would recommend it to a friend with the warning about the stroller not locking all the way if you don't do it right. Most importantly, my son loves riding around in it and I feel like he is safe in it. It isn't a burden to pack up and store and it isn't so big that I can't get around the city with it, in and out of stores etc. If you don't want to buy a cheap, umbrella stroller but don't want the next size up "light weight" stroller, this is the stroller for you. It was a great middle of the road choice for us since it wasn't cheaply made like the $25 stroller, was sturdy yet wasn't outrageously priced like the "high-end" strollers are.

GREAT lightweight/umbrella stroller, February 1, 2008
I purchased this stroller because my 4 1/2 month son has outgrown his infant car seat and the stroller that came with it only has a 3 point harness. I love the IPO! It is lightweight, folds and opens very easily, the handles are at a good height (I'm 5'5" and my husband is 6'3" and it works for both of us), the recline works well, and you can steer it with one hand if need be(try doing that with most umbrella strollers, not gonna happen!). It's much sturdier feeling than the Chicco C6, which was my original chioce until I saw the IPO in a local store. The Chicco C6 stroller seemed flismy in comparison and the handles were too short for me to walk comfortably(the Chicco C5 is almost the same as the IPO but has a lower weight limit and weighs 14lbs). The IPO is 3-6lbs heavier than your average umbrella stroller, but I like that about it. You can hang bags off the handles without it tipping over when your child is not in it. It also feels nicer, more substantial.
My son seems really comfortable in it. The seat in it's least reclined postion is not straight up and down, he sits leaning back a bit, but doesn't seem to mind. At first I thought I wouldn't like the harness, but I like that it's really easy to get him out of it. I don't have to pull his arms out of the harness because it comes apart.
The canopy is small like all umbrella strollers, so I purchased a Rayshade and that works great.
I do wish it came with a storage bag for traveling and am going to try to find one for it. It's a little longer that some umbrella strollers at 43.5" so I don't know if it will fit in the bags available. I would and have recommended it to a friend.

Great for tall people!, April 28, 2008
I'm very impressed with this stroller so far. I'm 6'2" and I've had trouble in the past with the stroller handles not being high enough for a tall person like myself. I usually get hunched over and it's very uncomfortable. Not so with this stroller, I don't slouch one bit while pushing this stroller.
Another thing I like is the canopy. Many other strollers I've had in the past have the canopy as a second piece you attach to the stroller. You can either attach and use the canopy, or you need to take it off. This stroller has the canopy attached, but it's very easy to retract it when you don't want to use it. The canopy also has a window that you can view your child from the top.
The seat can be tilted back to a near horizontal position to the ground. Great for little ones to get a good nap in a comfortable yet agile position while you are out and about.
Walking with the stroller is a breeze, you can turn the stroller on a dime, and it easily travels over rough surfaces.
The stroller even has a handle! Yes, after you fold it up, there is a convenient handle to carry the stroller instead of trying to manhandle the stroller to your trunk or wherever you store it.
It's also got a 50lb weight limit, You can stroller your 4-year old if you had to!
I definitely recommend this stroller.

Very impressive!, February 21, 2008
I am very impressed with this stroller! It definitely is a lot heavier than a traditional umbrella stroller, but if you want something that feels extremely sturdy than this is your stroller. It came almost put together, all we had to install were that wheels and canopy (which was super easy). The wheels are very smooth and turn incredibly easy. It is easy to open and close. The recline is a lot better than you expect, my son can almost lay completely flat. The best thing about this stroller is how tall the handles are. My husband and I are both tall (I'm 5"9 he's almost 6'0) so we always worry about having to hunch over to push an umbrella stroller. We read the reviews, trusted what people said and they were right! It is a perfect height for both us! The basket at the bottom is pretty small and a little hard to get into. But all in all this is a fantastic buy! I'm glad I got it for our trip next week and I can't wait to try it at Disneyland later this year!
