(More customer reviews)There are other strollers around same price but use better materials. Cosco seems to have interesting designs a notch up from $20 generic umbrella strollersbut with terrible workmanship and material selection. Assembly was fairly easy although the illustrations and directions in the manual don't resemble the stroller parts, probably written for a previous model but were too lazy to alter. I don't have issues about the baby's snack tray banging on the ground when folding up the stroller. A highlight of the Altura is that it can be collapsed with one hand and that's true, I achieved it on first attempt, although I wish it would fold up more compactly.
However the following really irk me: the safety belt.. it just goes around the waist and does not go across the chest, so if you are blessed with an active inquisitive baby he might be able to escape the restraint, beware! Next the overall structure seems flimsy, I tightened every joint and it still rattles as if parts were loose. Weight balance is an issue too, back of stroller seems heavier so make sure your hanging diaper bag isn't heavy, unless you have a very heavy baby, it only takes a little pressure for the whole stroller to tilt backwards. The seat does not recline all the way, it's just a slight tilt maybe +20' degrees. Nylon canopy isn't completely water-resistant. If used in a light drizzle fine, anything heavier your baby IS going to get soaked. There are 2 not 1 pedals for the brake. Make sure you still got a firm hold on the stroller before parking it completely. Lastly front wheels are too big, when baby is tall enough he might kick them or rest his feet there posing a danger to you and himself when going downslope. Remember the seat belt only holds him at the waist. If he's tilting forward he might fall right off.
Verdict? Good for simple walks indoors like the mall, or outdoors on flat level terrain, not recommended as an everyday stroller. Otherwise please spend a little more for a safer stroller.
