Stroller Saturday #2

#2!  Unless I'm having a truly inspired Saturday, I've decided to randomly pick a stroller to write about each Saturday.  This week's lucky stroller?

Basic Stats: Includes reversible stroller, cup holder and universal car seat adapter (compatible with Graco SnugRide, Peg Primo Viaggio, etc.).  Reclining seat.  Suitable from birth.  Available in Red and Blue.  Weighs 29 lbs., and will carry up to 45 lbs.

Who Drives These: These strike me as Bugaboo knock offs.  The seat shape, the frame shape, the wheels...  All screams "Bugaboo"...  Just not quite the same quality.  However, for $139.95, this stroller is clearly a deal.  I think that people driving these are looking for the modern style without the price.

What I Think: I think these are... okay for the price.  Clearly, if we're comparing them to Bugaboos, they're a lot lower on the quality scale, but they're also less than a quarter of the price of the Frog.  I definitely think there are better strollers out there - even for the price.  The Options Stroller has very few features, so it seems that much of what you're paying for is the shape.

Overall Verdict: I think there are better strollers out there for the money.  If it's strictly the style you're looking for, find a different favourite style or find some more money.  (Regardless, anyone who's seen a Bugaboo before will be able to tell the difference, so don't actually try passing this off as one...)

And that's it for this Stroller Saturday!  If you're in the Boston area, stay safe and warm tonight!
