Discount Britax Vigour Stroller Plum

I have had this stroller from my baby's birth. She is now 22 months and I use it weekly.

Pros: Love this stroller! It's modern & fun looking. It is not cumbersome like the regular strollers out there. I used this from birth, so I would snap the infant car seat on the stroller - this was a breeze. I converted it to a regular stroller facing out at 7 or 8 months. This was very easy to do. I love the big wheels. I had a jogger stroller which I never used and ended up giving away because this one does the job of both! I did a 5K run on an asphalt trail with my daughter without a problem. I forgot to empty the basket underneat, and it still went very smoothly. I don't know if I would use this for daily or weekly runs, but I don't see why not - the roller wheels are very sturdy. To pump them, you can use a regular bike pump. I've only had to do that once in 22 months. I can turn the stroller a full 180 degrees with just one hand and one motion. It is extremely adaptable to any surface. The basket underneath has handled groceries, including many heavy items (fruit juice, milk, etc). I use stroller clips to hang grocery bags off the handle - this holds easily. Another good feature is that there are many tilting options because it doesn't have "fixed" recline settings. The recliner works like a brake, you move it to where you want and then "brake" it. This allows you to recline it to pretty much *any* angle you want!

Cons: Like other reviewers, I wish there was a cupholder, but mostly I wish it had a tray for the baby. I bought an aftermarket of both, but they are soft and keep tilting. So I use the cupholder for keys and garage door opener, and the soft tray only has pockets, no actual flat surface that I can put some cheerios or cheese for the baby. The other complaint I have is that the sunshade (like almost EVERY stroller out there) is completely inadequate. I use a receiving blanket to throw over the top of the stroller and I use to clips I have for kitchen bags to clip it to the side metal frame of the stroller. This works perfectly but it's not very "pretty". I also wish there was more cushioning around the head area. When my baby falls asleep, I have to go to work padding up the sides of her head. Finally, my biggest complaint is the size & weight of this stroller. It weighs 25+ lbs and is not a stroller for a quick in & out of the car. It also takes up my entire truck space (with 2 small SUV's, it's been the same problem). So I finally took it out, left it at home, and bought a Maclaren Volo for quick outings. The nice stroller stays in our garage and comes out for the Saturday morning 3-hour walks! One more complaint that I only noticed this past week-end: the straps are not designed to hold tall toddlers! I always leave it on the loosest settings, and this week-end I noticed that with a winter jacket on, it was very snug on my daughter.

All in all, I really do like this stroller. If I had not received this as my baby shower gift (from colleagues!), I may have bought the BabyTrend one that is a jogger stroller, but more comfortable than a regular jogger stroller, and also allows you to snap on infant car seats.

Still, it's a great stroller and one that will serve for years. Get more detail about Britax Vigour Stroller Plum.
