We like this stroller alot. We needed one that was good for traveling but that would also have longer handles than the cheap compact one we purchased from a big box store. This stroller is working great for us. It folds up well, is rated up to 50 lbs, color looks nice, has longer frame for taller adults. Also, we have not experienced the wobbly wheels that others have complained of. It rides and steers very nicely.

I have been looking for a while for just this stroller. I was looking for something to put in the back of the car for mall and short grocery shopping. Also I didn’t want it to look cheap, it needed a sun shade and needed to fit my skinny one year old. And something under $40. Finally, this fits the bill.
The stroller was tightly packaged and all the end parts were covered with foam. The 4 sets of wheels were easy to pop on, though I probably should have turned the lights on to see the direction arrow because I ended up putting the first one on upside down. No problem, though, it was easy to follow their instructions to push a button and pop it off. It took me 10 minutes to put together with a toddler crawling all over me and it, which I categorize as a success.
Cons: the back is not breathable, so summers might be a little rough with back-sweat. Also, it claims to have recline, and although it does, it probably only reclines about 2 inches at best. I would not get this for that feature, it’s pretty lame actually.
I got it in all black because I didn’t want it to look dirty after a while. The stroller is good for up to 50 pounds, though honestly if my child still wants to be in a stroller when he’s 7, we’ve got issues.

I read most of the reviews posted and decided it was worth buying this for our trip to Hyannis in Cape Cod Mass. We live in Montreal Canada. The item was shipped to my US address in NY State just 45 minutes from where I live. I picked it up, came back and assembled it within 10 minutes. Then we packed it away and left on our trip. We used this everywhere for our 2 year old and loved it! Great height, lightweight and extremely stable. No wheel wobbles, just a rock solid stroller that both my wife and I would recommend. We purchased the black model on sale here at Amazon and even if we purchased it at full price it would be worth it.

I ordered this stroller because I was so tired of lugging our huge Graco in and out of the trunk. Also, I wanted something cheaper and smaller for travel. This stroller is very light-weight and very cheap but has most of the features I was wanting. It has a true five-point harness to keep my wiggling toddler in place, a small under basket and parent drink holder, and it is a bit taller than most cheap strollers. When I first got it I had my doubts…the front wheels wobbled, and it wasn’t quite as tall as I’d like. My husband and I both kick the wheels a bit. He’s 6′ and I’m 5’6″. It is better than the cheap BRU strollers, but not as tall as the Combi. Well, it’s been a few months now and I love this purchase. Truly a great value. If your wheels wobble, just keep using it a little more. Ours stopped wobbling by the second or third time we used it. Also, I traveled to L.A. and Disneyland with it, and it was perfect. So much easier and smaller than our other stroller. Gate check at the airport as always broke part of it. The rear wheel was terribly bent when we got home, but I e-mailed First Years and they sent me a new one FREE. I’ve spent 25 bucks on a new wheel for the Graco in the past, and I think this one even came faster. Awesome customer service.

Exactly what I was looking for in a lightweight stroller. Folds in one quick motion and has tons of extras that you just can’t find in an inexpensive umbrella stroller. Has a great storage area under the seat, a nifty storage compartment up top that also contains a zippered compartment for a wallet, cell phone, etc. Also has 2 small side pockets that my daughter likes to put her tiny trinkets in. The handles are a great size for my 6’1″ husband. I’m also impressed with the detachable shade. I purchased the red print and I’m very happy with the vibrant color. I agree with the previous poster that the recline is not much at all and I would not recommend for an infant under 6 months even with the 5 point harness. Overall I am very pleased and would recommend to anyone looking for a lightweight stroller.

We bought the Jet to take with us when we travel by plane, after our Maclaren Quest’s hood got pretty brutalized last time we flew with it (even with gate checking). A decent stroller bag is about the same price as this stroller, so it didn’t make sense to use to buy a bag just to use our fancier stroller in the airport. This fits the bill. I tried out cheaper models in stores; but they weren’t substantially cheaper in price, and they were much cheaper in quality.
This assembles quickly; is attractive; has a structured, non-scratchy fabric seat (rare at this price point); and it has a nifty little organizer that is perfect for holding drinks, snacks, boarding passes and IDs. It is easy to fold and open one-handed, steers nicely, and is very lightweight. It also has some sort of shock absorbing system for the wheels, which was unexpected and appreciated!
No, it’s not a Maclaren. It’s not plush, the shade is not really big enough to be of great help, and it doesn’t recline a ton. But it’s easy to use, attractive, sturdy, and well-appointed for the price. We have a 10 month old and a 4 year old. Each child fits (though the 4 year old is too tall for the harness and shade). I am tall, and the handles are great even for me, and I don’t kick the wheels.
All in all, it’s a great value. At this price, I won’t worry about getting stroller-jacked at theme parks or this one getting gnarly in the cargo bay of an airplane. And at this level of features, I won’t worry about the thing breaking, being outgrown in a year, or my kid being miserable while riding. It’s not going to be my “daily driver” at home because I’m spoiled by the Maclaren’s features, but it’s a wonderful backup stroller for travel or Grandma’s house.
[And just a footnote: we got the red one, and the seat is actually an off-white/pale beige with black space-age-looking squares, which was a relief for me! It appeared white in the photo, and I was concerned about it getting gross quickly. Not a concern now!]
