  • mama123 - Love love!!

    LOVE this stroller! My three year old loves it too! I'm excited about the ease of use, the huge sun canopy, and the sleek design. I'm not crazy about the tiny drink holder but there are two pockets in the stroller for kids and a big storage basket for water bottles so it's a small sacrifice. Would buy it again and recommend to a friend in a heartbeat!

  • Amazon Customer - Very Poor Assembly Instructions

    If you are "assembly challenged" get someone else to assemble this machine because the instructions are very poor and you will go nuts trying to put this together. The very first bolts didn't line up. There were a few instances where the part or bolt numbers were wrong (Try finding the part #25 in step 4 it's really #24). Particularly frustrating was the electrical connections to the console. This was not diagrammed and poorly described. Then there were the screws from the inside of the machine. They do give you a little screw driver for those. Good luck if you have big hands.

  • Stretch - Nice but not what expectid

    Never owned an LED TV but as TV's go I think this one has a good picture , but the drawback is , the time it takes to "focus"

  • Christopher J. OToole - I love Heart

    I loved Heart since the 70's. I have the album, but wanted it on my Kindle Fire play list. Great song.
