The First Years Jet Stroller - Retro Geo Red

Comments about Jet Stroller - Retro Geo Red:

This is the best stroller around for the money. I looked around for a high quality, stylish, durable stroller for under $50 and this is the best I could find after days and days of research. Anything else for [$] is flimsy and cheaply made. I have a 12 month old and it's great for taking him on quick trips or places where the big jogger stroller is too bulky- like shopping, or at a fair. I just love it. Very easy to put together too! Took me 5 minutes. I just had to insert the wheels and bam! I was done. Got the hang of folding it with one hand after a few uses. My feet kick the back tires a bit if I'm not paying attention but not a huge deal at all. Very comfy for my son as a bigger baby. Can't wait to use it when flying now that we're not using the travel system anymore. My only gripe with this stroller is it is super hard to fold down with the canopy attached. In fact for me I found it virtually impossible, so if I use the canopy I remove it (which is very simple) and fold the stroller, then I slide the canopy inside the folded stroller. If flying I'd leave the canopy at home so I don't lose it. I rarely use it anyway because I usually use the stroller for quicker trips and don't walk for hours and hours with heat glaring on my son's head. This stroller is such a great investment-- best [$] I've spent in a long time.

This stroller was exactly what we needed. It's significantly smaller and easier to travel with than my travel system stroller now that my son is old enough that he doesn't need the recline and the support of the system stroller. It's super easy to open and close although, when closing, the locking clip sometimes gets stuck behind the support and you have to open it up again to get it out. Also lightweight and easy to carry or roll when folded up. The handles are nice and high and it has a basket but the basket is small and not easy to access.

I searched online and stores in town for a light weight umbrella stroller to take to a MLB game with my 10-month old son. My criteria were that it had to fold into an "umbrella" for easy storage under our seats, have longer or adjustable handles so I wouldn't have to hunch over when pushing it, a canopy for a little protection from the elements, and preferably a small basket. I found all of this and more in the Jet stroller! I read lots of great reviews of this stroller online, and it was a great price - it seemed that all of the other highly-rated umbrella strollers were over $100! This stroller worked great for my 30", 25-pound son while we pushed him on the subway train and at the stadium. It even withstood a test when it started pouring sheets of rain after the game! The little canopy kept his head dry. I like the zipper compartments on the handles so your small items don't fall out, and I like that it goes up to 50 pounds so he won't outgrow it in a month. Definitely recommend this stroller for a lightweight travel stroller.

Bought the stroller for my 15 mo old son, but first use was with my 3 year old daughter. Overall, very happy with the product for the price.

Pros:
-Easy fold, lightweight
-Awesome storage for a basic umbrella stroller

Cons:
-Even with the long handles, I kicked the wheels several times (I'm 5'6")
-the red hook to lock the stroller closed gets caught in the X bar when I fold it up. Easy to fix, just slightly annoying.
-Seat back is a little short for a 3 year old. It's great in the upright position, but she was uncomfortable reclined - no support for her head.
-the straps seemed tight for a 3 yr old (not long enough shoulder to buckle.) I'm sure there are adjustments, but I couldn't make it work in the 2 seconds I dedicated to figuring it out. She was in and out a lot at an amusement park anyway.

I still think it's worth the money and a great deal for the price point.

I just used this stroller for the first time with my 13-month old son and it was better than I expected. I read about all the issues with wobbly wheels, so i was nervous to take this on our 1.5 mile walk around the neiborhood but it did really well (and no wobbly wheels!). I absolutely LOVE all of the compartments on this stroller - underseat basket and storage between the handles - plenty of room for a couple waterbottles, keys, phone and lots lots more! Very happy with this stroller and the price we got it for!
