I am so happy with this stroller!
We were using the Chicco Cortina on loan from a friend for 6 months and had to return it as they are expecting their 2nd child in a couple weeks. We received a Jeep Cherokee Sport Stroller in Shock at our shower, so we broke that one out, but it wasn't comfortable for a 6 month old. I love the Jeep stroller and it will be great when traveling light when our daughter is about 18 months+, but right now she needed something more plush.
I was very sad to be without the Cortina and wanted to buy one of our own, but decided to shop around for one that wasn't so heavy and wide. I found this Graco Vie4 stroller to be just right. It is lighter, more agile, and narrower than the Cortina; but more padded, roomier and better equipped than the Jeep Sport.
Here is everything I love:
- The fabric is adorable and better looking in person, the flowers look Hawaiian
- The basket is better than the full size Cortina, longer and easier to get to
- The handling is zippy and silent
- There are 2 coffee cup holders AND a lidded cubby on the parent tray
- The child's tray can accomodate a sippy cup or juice box in the same hole
- I was able to snap it together in 20 minutes by myself without having to dig out the directions
- It reclines flat for sleeping and an emergency changing table
- It is much lighter than the Cortina
- The handle is adjustable for my tall husband
- The fabric is pink but the body is a nice cocoa brown which makes the pink it more subtle in person
- The canopy is large with a nice big clear porthole to check on baby
- The harness is very clever, the one buckle goes from a 3 to 5 point harness with sliding shoulder straps
- The harness straps adjust easily thanks to push buttons, no having to pull twice through a slide buckle
- The foot flap can fold up to create a bassinet, it also folds under the seat for more room on foot rest
- When the seat is in the upright position, there's a pocket behind the headrest I can stash a toy or snack
- It really does fold open and closed with one hand
Here are the things I wish were better:
- It doesn't fold as flat as you think it will, but I have a CRV and still have room in the back
- The canopy isn't designed to also fold in front like the Cortina, but if you don't secure it under the parent tray, it can!
- The Jeep has loops on canopy to hang toys, I wish this one did too so I made my own with ribbon
- I wish the buttons were pink or brown and not red, just the graphic designer in me being picky :)
I think a couple of the bad reviews here are because the poor people received a lemon, they should ask for a replacement. I think the gentleman who had the uncomfortable seat angle had a broken stroller since it sounds like it wouldn't unfold/open all the way. The gal who had a seat that wouldn't sit upright may have had a faulty adjustment strap. I am fortunate to not have experienced any of these problems.
Overall I highly recommend this stroller, especially if you get it on sale with the free shipping!
