MOM THOUGHTS – My Favorite Strollers Reviewed

By Tricia Fandrey

I’ve been writing for Stroller reviews for a year now and as you can imagine I’ve had the pleasure of reading many personal reviews written by many stroller owners. Some happy stroller owners and some not so happy.  As a mom with 2 children under the age of 4 that love to go on walks to the park and to the store for a slurpy having a stroller that is comfortable and easy to handle is important to me.

Out of all the stroller reviews that I’ve had the pleasure of reading I would have to say that my top pick for a tandem stroller would have to be the Kolcraft Contours Options Tandem Stroller . I love the fact that you can change seating position for both the seats. Facing the world, facing each other, or facing Mom. Doesn’t that sounds awesome! With removable extra seating this is the perfect stroller when a older child grows and doesn’t want to hop in to ride any longer. Changing this to a single stroller with larger storage in the rear just sounds ideal and makes sense to me.

Now for a single stroller I have to go with a stroller that I absolutely love the color. I know superficial but hey I don’t see many strollers in these colors so you’ll have to admit it’s appealing .   Baby Jogger City Elite in Royal Sport and the Tike Tech City X4 2010 in Pacific Blue or Autumn Orange.  Great colors when you have boys.  Don’t you think? Having boys that are 2 and 4 weighting in at less than 40 lbs each and still growing I need a single stroller with a higher weight limit. Both these stroller meet that requirement. The Tike Tech City X4 limit is 60 lbs and the Baby Jogger City Elite weight limit is 75 lbs. They will last many more years to come.

Those are my picks based on user reviews, user friendly features,  weight limit and appealing color.  If I’d personally tested all of the strollers I reviewed my answers could of been different.  What are your favorites?
