EvenFlo Review – Part ll

Take Me Too Express ($129.99):  Tandem offering among the Evenflo strollers.  Accomodates up to two 40lb passengers and allows easy access for toddlers with “My Step” side access.  Full parent tray and storage basket are great for parents.  Comes in “3 Lil Bears”, “Chicago” and “Turquoise Plaid”.

Xsport ($39.99):  If you’re looking for a great umbrella stroller for quick trips or air travel without breaking the bank, then the Xsport is for you.  Ample storage, adjustable/removeable sun canopy and ability to seat kids up to 40lbs make this a must have.  Available in stylish grey, pink and red.

Xsport Plus ($39.99):  Same as the Xsport, but with adjustable handles.  For the same price why not?  Available in “Christina” and grey patterns.

All of these Evenflo strollers except the Xsport and Xsport plus are available in travel systems.  In fact, Evenflo strollers offer such a great value the travel system versions are less expensive than the other brands strollers alone!

Evenflo strollers don’t have all the bells and whistles of brands like Peg Perego, Graco or Chicco but they also don’t have the price tags. You will miss out on nicer suspension, better wheels and some luxury features, but if your concerned about your budget (and now-a-days who isn’t) the Evenflo strollers are worth a look.  You won’t sacrifice on safety, the most important aspect of a stroller, so if you can live without the extras, buy one of the Evenflo strollers.

Graco MetroLite – In Review

When shopping for strollers you’ll typically find that you have to make trade-offs. Trade-offs such as luxurious seats versus cost, large wheels for a comfortable ride versus compactness & ease of transport, and you’ll typically find that you have to give up general features when you buy a lightweight stroller.

When I tested the Graco MetroLite I was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn’t have to make too many of these trade-offs. The Metrolite is indeed a ‘light’ umbrella-like portable stroller – but it comes with features that you’d normally have to give up to obtain minimal weight. The MetroLite weighs 17 pounds and has a surprisingly compact form factor, it’s easy to fold, transport, store and carry. What’s more is MetroLite’s ability to accommodate infant car seats – my research tells me that this functionality is rarely found in lightweight strollers.

The features that come standard with the MetroLite stroller, features that you’d typically find in standard-sized strollers are:

* Drop-down, easy access, large, 10 pound capacity, storage basket
* Infant car seat compatibility
* Rubber, never flat, tires
* Suspension system
* Height adjustable padded handles
* One-hand easy fold
* Sturdy all-aluminum frame
* Pivot child tray

When you look at this feature list you might be thinking “so what?” Why are these features so special? Remember folks, this is a lightweight, super compact umbrella stroller – you’d normally have to give up a lot, if not all, of these features to obtain a light / portable form factor.

Stroller Benefits

* Easy to fold, store, and transport
* Comfortable ride
* Easy to maneuver
* Easy for parents with varying heights to push this stroller
* Easy to carry baby gear
* Great Value – the MetroLite is ideal for children in infant seats and for children up to 40 pounds.

Who’s using this stroller?

Parents who bought the MetroLite for day trips and travel, parents who found that this is the product they’ve migrated to long after their trip is over.

What’s working well?

The light weight size and the maneuverability makes it easy for parents to stroll. And the Graco MetroLite is a great value – parents can use the MetroLite for infants and they can keep using it for years – for children up to 40 pounds.

What’s ‘not’ working well?

The MetroLite could use a parent’s pouch to hold keys, a wallet, a cell phone, etc. Some parents reported that the MetroLite seat is hard to clean… a removable, washable seat cover would be a perfect addition to MetroLite’s generous feature list. Some parents who reviewed the MetroLite did not like the size of the stroller’s canopy… they wanted a more substantial canopy with UV protection.

Why buy the MetroLite?

The MetroLite stroller is a great value. It has standard stroller functionality but it’s an affordable umbrella / travel stroller – you should buy this stroller is you’re looking for a great deal & good value. You should buy the MetroLite if you need a stroller that’s easy to fold up and carry, transport and / or store. And, finally, you should buy this stroller if your child is still in an infant car seat.

Why should you ‘not’ buy the MetroLite?

You should consider another rig if you are looking for a stroller with a reclining seat. You should look for another stroller if you need a removable (washable) seat cover. And, finally, you should look for a different product if you need a stroller with a big canopy and a larger under-seat storage basket.
