AMAZING

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok so I was skeptical when I first got this because I'm not a fan of small umbrella type strollers but this one is AMAZING. I live in NYC, and this Stiller is perfect. I can take buses and trains easily with this stroller and it folds up perfectly to fly with or put into a taxi. This is my favorite stroller and I've had a few.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Lightweight stroller ideal for travel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this stroller for free in exchange for my honest review. This is a good lightweight stroller for use in traveling or on smooth level surfaces. I gave this stroller 3 stars because I can't use it everyday, but it is the most convenient for on the go. Here is a breakdown of my pros and cons: Pros: -Lightweight - I am a petite individual and can easily carry this stroller in one arm and my child in the other without any struggle -Compact - It folds flat and easily can fit into the trunk of my sedan, making it ideal for trips - Easy to open and close - The stroller easily opens and collapses with one hand and stays closed effortlessly (unlike an umbrella stroller where you manually have to snap the lock in place) Neutral: -The extendable canopy is nice for keeping the sun out of your child's eyes, however, it doesn't seem to snap into place which makes this feature not function as intended. The canopy on its own functions fine and I haven't had any issues needing the extendable canopy -There are 2 storage baskets. The top basket is convenient for items you need to easily access (snacks, wipes, blanket,etc.) Neither basket is large but unless you will be using the stroller all day, it holds plenty. -2 seat positions: My child doesn't like to recline but the feature is nice for a sleeping or smaller child who needs to be reclined. I will discuss the upright position in my cons section. Cons: -Upright position leaves my child sitting at what looks like almost a 90 degree angle, and this is a little too upright. At times it looks like he is leaning forward out of the stroller, even when harnessed in. -Not suitable for uneven surfaces. The stroller doesn't maneuver well on older sidewalks that may have gaps or be uneven in areas. The wheels don't easily roll over bumps without having to tilt the stroller back and lift the wheels, and at times an uneven sidewalk has jolted us to a stop tipping the stroller forward, which is a safety concern.

Lightweight, easy to maneuver stroller

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 2 year old twins but use a single stroller more than our double as I use it to get in and out of daycare. The stroller was very easy to put together and it took less than 5 minutes. The stroller glides very nicely and you can lock the front wheels if needed. I like that you can lock and unlock the back with just a step of the foot. I use that feature most of all. I love the color as it hides dirt and crumbs easily. It's incredibly easy to open and close - I can do either with one hand. It's also incredibly lightweight and folds up compact - a bonus! A downside is it only had 2 positions - reclining and upright. The upright seems to be a little too upright and I wish you could adjust it. The straps aren't very easy to tighten and my boys can get out of them easily. The canopy is a good size and repels water really well. The basket is somewhat small, but I don't need it for much. There is a removable cup holder, which we have not used yet. Overall, I would recommend the Lara Ultra Compact Stroller. I wish I had found it sooner myself.
Pros: Canopy repels rain very well, Compact, Easy to lock/unlock back wheels, Easy to maneuver, Easy to open and close, Lightweight, Very easy to assemble
Cons: Hard to tighten straps enough, Upright position is too upright

So glad I found this stroller!

We came to realize that we needed a smaller stroller. Our other one is great for neighborhood strolls, but it's a bit too bulky to take on trips. This one is awesome because it folds up nice and small without taking up too much space in the trunk. We can just leave it in the car and there's plenty of room for all of our other stuff. Also, it's great to have two storage areas. The one at the bottom easily fits our backpack. And I love the second storage space, too in the back. It's nice having easy access to snacks or toys, without having to reach way down underneath the stroller. My little one is pretty comfy in there, too. He tends to run on the hot and sweaty side, and the mesh fabric helps tame the sweat factor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the fastest installed stroller I've ever used. It was set up in under 2 minutes! Yes 2 minutes. This is excellent compared to the other stroller I used which was bit more involved. Here's what I love about this stroller It's lightweight It's simple and easy to install It folds easily It comes with all of the necessary items It has a wide big canopy It is very compact Its cost effective I like that there is a seating footrest that allows you to put up or down depending on how big/small your child is A few cons would be The seat rest is a bit wobbly A way to attach a carseat is not evident. Other than that I love this stroller. It's a great buy and ultra compact and lightweight. Perfect for first time or non-first time moms

Lara Ultra Compact Stroller

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start out and let everyone's know that, out of all the different strollers I've tried this compact stroller is so much better, it's very comfortable, lightweight, and easy for me to move around. Folds up and also is very easy for me to fold up and put in my vehicle. I would definitely purchase this carriage in the future, for myself or if I had a baby shower to go to, actually since I've been using it a few of my friends have also been looking into purchasing one for there children. I was never aware of the Lara Ultra Compact Stroller before, definitely wish I had known about them previously. I highly recommend the Lara Ultra Compact Stroller, to everyone, you will be very impressed as I was when using it.
Pros: Compact, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!
