good for travel

Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
We have taken this with us when we fly since it is easier to deal with at the airport than our full size stroller. It has survived a couple of airplane trips with no problems.It is pretty lightweight, so it's a good second stroller, but I doubt it would take the punishment that our normal (City Mini) stroller does.That said, it is good for what it is. Great for short trips and throwing in the trunk. We will likely buy a second one to leave with the grandparents. The wheels aren't well suited for rough terrain, but are fine for indoors (airport, mall) or smooth pavement. For [$], if it wears out, we will pick up another one.
well worth the money!

Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
We were looking for a light-weight stroller to take with us on plane trips. We have had this stroller now for nearly 2 years and have made 5 round-trips with it. It is not fancy, and I was hesitant to buy it, but it definitely serves its purpose. We have used it in the airport multiple times and gate checked it for the plane rides, finally on our last trip it got broken. I will be purchasing another because I feel we have really gotten good use out of it. Beyond the plane trips, we had used this stroller at Disney World, on a cruise ship, and up in the mountains.

I just purchased this stroller and have not used it yet, but the description says it comes with a stroller bag. Unfortunately it DOES NOT. One reason I bought this stroller was for the extra accessories. So I may return it.
CHEAP

Very cheaply made. this stroller's umbrella broke after a few days of use. I bought 2 of them and now need to return them.
Meant for Quick Trips/Errands

Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
This is not meant to be your main stroller. It is perfect for running into the grocery store or other quick errands where you don't want to bother with a heavy bulky travel system. Does not keep sun out, so again, not meant for long walks outside. For quick errands this is a light weight and easy to use stroller.
Not worth it.

stained the first time my child spilled in it. Can't stter it with one hand. Straps frayed, then broke within 2 months of starting to use it. Canopy doesn't block sunlight at any angle.
Breaks Easily

Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
This stroller was light and cheap, which was pretty much what I was looking for in a secondary travel stroller. The problem? You get what you pay for, unfortunately. The plastic clip broke after about three uses and now the stroller is completely useless. You can't really use a stroller that you can't strap your baby into. I'm now in the market for a new umbrella stroller.
Portable, but TOO Short!

Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
You get what you pay for! I didn't want to spend a lot of money so this was perfect. However, I wish I would have done some more looking and researching ( I normally do!) because it is too short! I am 5'3" and it is uncomfortable to push because I have to lean over. Also, there is no storage and I knew that when I purchased it, but I didn't think I would miss it, and I do! The canopy is pretty much useless, as it is not big enough to block sun and rain very well. I wouldn't say it is of poor quality or construction, but for the price it is decent. My little one can bend over and touch the ground though and I worry that she might flip it over if I am not too careful. It is a great bargain, lighweight and sure beats hauling the big "Cadillac" stroller around! I can live with this stroller, I just wanted to let other parents know my thoughts so maybe it would save them some trouble if they were looking for more out of this product.
perfect for cary and go

Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
I keep this in my trunk. So I don't want a big stroller. I take my daughter to disneyland and zoo.
And she likes to sit in it or push it. perfectly good size, when you want to travel light.
Only complaint is features. But you can buy an accessory pack for $18. For me a cup for snacks and drink was all I needed.
a bit short

Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
I like many aspects of this stroller: price, weight, ease of folding. My son likes riding in it. When we're shopping, this is the stroller we reach for (rather than the larger, heavier stroller). However, it is a bit short. I am 5'7". My husband is 6'1". Both of us lean over to push it. My husband almost felt that he couldn't use it (though he doesn't hate it enough to stop using it). I wish we had bought a more expensive one that was taller, but if you can handle the height and don't need bells and whistles, it's a fine stroller.
Don't buy this Stroller

Bought this stroller for a trip to California. We used it for the trip and it broke almost immediatly.[...] I have been using a cheep (twelve dollar?) stroller for years and it functions better than this broken one!
Great Stroller For Short Outings
03/05/2010 by Susa, Southern California,
Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
I just bought this stroller and took it out to the mall for a quick shopping trip. It worked great and didn't have any problems with it, however I'm 5'1" and this was the perfect height for me. Anyone taller would have have a sore back from stooping over to push it. Otherwise it's a great price for what it is. No bells and whistles.
Great for the price

[...]. It was nice and light, perfect for our trip. I am 8 months pregnant so I needed something lightweight and easy to steer and this worked out just fine. My daughter is 3 and very tall and she fit comfortably in it. Nice quality for the price.
Basic stroller
02/25/2010 by Mom, MS,
Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
This is just the basic. I was looking for an umbrella stroller for the size so I could actually get around in the mall without bumping into everything, like with our Graco stroller, but our local store only had this one. This stroller is uncomfortable and no storage. When you take the child out because they're uncomfortable and can't go to sleep in it the stroller falls backward when there is something hanging on the handle, even a plastic bag with just a shirt in it. After a few meltdows in the mall we had to go outside and get our regular stroller so we could all be happy and continue with our shopping!
You get what you pay for

Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
We bought this stroller one day when we forgot ours at home and were going to spend a few hours at the mall. Refusing to carry our baby around, we stopped at Toys R Us and picked up the cheapest stroller we could find just for the day. Much to our surprise, it worked great. Zoe was as peaceful as can be strolling through the mall...works great and we leave it in the car for quick trips. Shade doesn't work, but for the price, what do you expect?...
Great inexpensive stroller

Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
The product description for this item appears incorrect - the stroller I purchased in store came only with the stroller & canopy. The pricier (twenty-nine dollar) option came with the additional items (ie, bag). I bought this stroller to use at times when our travel system stroller is inconvenient and did not want to spend a lot of money. It folds & unfolds easily. Rolls smoothly. I'm 5'6" and can comfortably push this stroller. My 6 month old enjoys riding in it. I think he can see everything better than in his bigger stroller. Definitely great value for the low cost.
nice stroller

simple stroller but perfect for my 14 month old. I have only used it once so far but it is handy to store in the truck just in case I need it.
Not worth it!

Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
I thought this would be a great umbrella stroller at a great price, but it was so awful I only used it once! I'm 5'4" and have to stoop down to push this stroller, it is way to short! Forget putting a diaper bag on it when empty. Spend a bit more on the Chicco Capri which can accomodate a diaper bag w/o tipping and has handles at a reasonable height.
Love this little Stroller

Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
We own a Bugaboo as our main stroller. But to be honest, this little Umbrella Stroller is PERFECT! Its simple, lightweight, easy to manage and set up! A must for that "throw in the back and go" stroller!
Perfect for quick trips!

Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
We used this stroller during our 3,000 mile road trip from CA to NC. It was perfect because it didn't take up a lot of room, and our car was packed tight with our stuff! It also was super easy to use when we needed to put the baby in the stroller while running in for bathroom breaks, etc. We stopped at many [...] and other stores just to get out and stretch, and this stroller was awesome! No, it doesn't have cup holders or any of the extras. But it's [$], you get what you pay for! If you're looking for a stroller that is going to last through trips to disneyland or multiple children, this is not it! But for running quick errands or pushing a sick baby in and out of doctors offices, it's perfect!
The best umbrella stroller I've ever had

Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
I use this stroller for short trips at the store. It steers easily and fits my son perfectly! The best part? The canopy, by far. It rotates down in front of baby to shield him from the wind!
It's a good day stroller!!!

Reading the comments, you can buy a cup holder for the stroller. I did.
This stroller is excellent. We use it everyday, and because it was cheap it doesn't matter if shows some wear and tear.
Love it!!!

Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
Works just fine! Very lightweight. I'm a parent on the go- easily folded. And unfolds easily. It's so compact. Easy to wipe it clean. No assembly required, I love it, simple and sweet. My 1 year old soon to be 2, sits in it comfortably. No problem at all whatsoever. I found myself grasping the sippy cup as I stroll along, no cup holder, but it's all good.
Alright

This stroller was a perfect fold up.
It is easy to carry and it is very light.
Can get very dirty and stains can really set in fast. The wheels can become run down after a while. I used this stroller for the summer. I would not recommend for any other season of the year. Really cheap and you get what you pay for.
Great spare stroller

Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
Can't beat for the price. I have twins and carrying a bulky double stroller in public is a hassle. Great for traveling and maneuvering through the airport. My husband and I prefer taking these out in public. Light and compact. If I am on my own I take the double stroller.
Didn't Hold Up!!
08/18/2009 by Traveling Mom, Evans,LA
Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
Everything about this stroller was wonderful. Stylish, cozy, lightweight, quickly folded down, easy to carry, easy to maneuver. Then, It broke. In the middle of New Orleans traffic, the back metal brace popped off the stroller and it folded in on the baby. From then on, it was not useable. It did not hold up to a 4 day vacation. It broke on the 3rd day.
Gave as baby shower gift. She loved it!

I absolutely love this stroller. I use it everyday whether its a walk to the park or just for any daily use. My son loves it too. I love how it has such a smooth ride. Its also great cuz it has alot of room for my son to sit back in so he's not so smushed like he is in other strollers.
Great spare or leave-at-Grampas stroller
06/26/2009 by Dave, Atlanta,
Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
Bought this stroller to leave at Grampa's so I wouldn't have to carry one along. (have wheels for the kid's car seat so it does stroller duty at the airport).
Thought the design showed a great deal of attention to detail. Well-engineered, lightweight, packs up small, folds quickly and easily.
It's not a jogging stroller or a luxe ride, but if you need a spare stroller to throw in the trunk of your tiny car, or need to buy one for the day or leave one with a friend in another city, this is your ride. Come to BRU for this one - it's nicer than cheap umbrella units we've found at other chains.
Not the best

Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
Well, after reading the product description I realize the stroller I purchased did not come with a storage bag. I used to think this stroller was decent for the price, but now that it is warm and my daughter is not wearing a jacket or pants, her arms and legs get totally scratched up from riding in this thing! If I can find the receipt I'm going to return it. It looks like she fell into a blackberry bush.
Good for price

Comments about Especially for Kids Umbrella Stroller Red:
I brought 2 of these for myself and my husband. We needed a stroller that wouldn't take up too much space in our vehicles. We have a jogging stroller and a regular stroller but they left no room for anything else in the back end of our SUV's. This is the perfect size and my son loves it because he can see everything. We looked at the same type of stroller other places but they didn't have the umbrella and they were about the same price.
