Just checked it out, looks too original to me but again everyone has different taste

You mean a Stokke stroller? They look like office furniture to me.

my friend had it.. it broke on her 3 times.. they kept replacing the parts but one time the handle broke while they were going up the stairs and as you know the wheels fold in so the stroller was on 2 wheels and the handle cracked off.. it was a miracle her son didnt get seriously injured.. its a pretty stroller but its not develped 100% yet

Ive seen them and they look like they can fall apart at any second. Also since the seat sits on that one rod when you walk down the street and walk over a sidewalk crack the whole seat shakes. Not a good city stroller, maybe for indoors.

If you want a stroller that has that "cool" option of the seat beign adjustable, check out the peg perego skate, and the Mutsy slider, both have the option and both are better made.

You mean it's not pretty and not yet developed. Wink

There is someone in my building who has it. I decided yesterday that it's the only "trendy" stroller I would absolutely not buy. Get it if you want to turn heads...

I have seen it on the streets here in Crown Heights and I think it looks like something that belongs in outer space. I would not buy it simply because I think it is really ugly.

I have one. It's a pleasure to push around, even when the child is already two. Very comfortable for the baby. My two year old still loves it. You do have to be careful not to hit a high bump in the sidewalk because the carriage does have a tendency to go up on it's two front wheels when that happens and it is very scary. I did maintain control each time Baruch Hashem. (Hasn't happened more than 3 or 4 times and I have had it since she was one month old.) Had I known this could happen I probably would not have bought it even though I really do like it. I do not think it's a beautiful carriage but I do like that it is high and that the handlebar is so adjustable.
