does this stroller have an auto lock ? is it easy to stear one handed ? is there really no way to put a car seat on it ? or have you owners figured out a trick ?

I don't think it has an auto lock. I haven't tried to steer it one handed but it's easily maneuvered and feels light, so I'm sure it won't be a problem. No way to put a car seat in. What i was confused about was the max weight for the bassinet--the online description says 25lbs and the stroller literature says 17.5...

I have not used the stroller yet. However, it seems of good quality and the handling in small spaces in the house was easy. I don't think a car seat will fit safely.

No, two hands are needed to steer this stroller and it is not easy to turn...we borrowed from a friend and it has really made me think about what I would want if I purchased an umbrella stroller.

I would recommend it for every day use. It handles like a dream (compared to our travel system stroller). The front wheel lock/unlock is super easy. And the folding can be done with one hand. I love ours.

You are supposed to have a seatbelt lock (I'm not sure of the technical name but it kind of looks like an H with hooks on the insides) for vehicles without the latch system. When we bought the original car seat it had one but when we bought this to have an extra base, it did not come with it. Luckily a friend had one and they didn't need it lock.

Yes, it is easily closed with one hand as well as controlled with one hand. It is a very smooth operating stroller and was specifically designed to a light weight easy to use stroller.

We ended up having to refer to the instruction manual but we figured it out easily enough. We LOVE this stroller! I can hold my 8 month old in one arm and open/close the stroller and put it in the back of our vehicle with my other hand!

I love mine. It is great to just snap the infant seat in and go. It is really easy to fold up and it rides really smooth. I can't compare to the city mini. The only thing is my son hated his infanct car seat so we really were only able to use this stroller for 2 months so you will need another stroller eventually

YES! It's totally annoying. I assembled it correctly. The only solutions are A) lock the wheels--but then it's practically impossible to control/maneuver the stroller or B) add more weight to the front of the stroller-or have your dog sit near the front, or C) add another dog to your stroller. All options are out for me, and probably you, too. So, my last resort was to put a thicker crate pad down to absorb the shakiness so my dog won't be as annoyed as I am!!

Hi, Miki, where do you live? I have one...I don't attach it to anything, since I only use the stroller.

I love this stroller. Easily collapsible. Not to heavy for me to lift in and out of vehicle. However, I own a mid size SUV. This stroller takes up pretty much the entire rear trunk area. Good luck.

I would say it's compact enough for most sedan trunks and semi light compared to full size strollers and can be closed with one hand. It also locks closed. It's obviously not as small or light as a cheap umbrella stroller, but it's a sweet ride.

You can take the fabric off, or leave it on. I have used it both ways and it is completely stable either way. The carseat locks onto the stroller.

it does not have a hand brake, it has a brake that locks only vs slowing down the stroller located on the right side of the stroller frame

The lock is near the front wheel,under the footrest and it works in a vertical motion from top to bottom, locking and unlocking the wheel. There is a remote release lever located under the right side handle. Pull to disengage the wheel and push to engage the locking device. We are loving this stroller, best investment made on baby items.

its a stationary front wheel, it doesn't have a locking front brake, however when you lock the back both wheels stay locked. this is an excellent stroller.My daughter is a health fanatic and uses it all the time!! It is extremely well built with plenty of storage space also.

No cannot steer with one hand. I bought for granddaughter and I went for a visit and tested it and the steering is awkward even hard to steer it straight There would be no way anyone could jog using this. Very disappointed in the steering mechanism. For the money seems ok on quality but useless for a walk. For baby it 12 month I would purchase one if those first step cars. They easy to push If you want to turn this bike that was nearly impossible.

Dear Mrs. S.J Piraino. We have two daughters and the youngest one was a newborn when we got this. We used it without the car seat fine. this is an outstanding Stroller. We tried three other brands until we settled on this one (yes, we spent a lot of money). The baby will be seated a little bit "tucked" inside the seat, because it is not completely flat, or 180 degress. The beby will be more like seated, on his back. The stroller, albeit still one of the lightest of the category (if not the lightest) is still bulky. Overall i would greatly recommend this. If they somehow could make it slightly more compact and a tad lighter it would be a five star stroller. The way it is, i'd give it four. Dear Mrs. S.J Piraino.
