Not as good as the earlier click-connect versions
on March 23, 2022
Posted by: Sam53
from Canada
I had a click connect stroller for my elder son who is 7 now. I was not hesitant to buy the Pramette for my newborn because the one I had was an ease to use. Unfortunately, there are many things that drive me insane. The stroller doesn’t stay upright when folded and keeps falling down if I didn’t catch it with both arms. Also, no matter how I tried, I just couldn’t connect the car seat on top of the bassinet. The car seat doesn’t come with head cushions to protect my baby. And the cup holder keeps swinging so I’m not comfortable putting my drinks there. I feel my earlier one was more sturdy. I would’ve returned this but I bought it very early in my pregnancy that I can’t return it now.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I got this for my first baby and it is absolutely amazing!!! I am a tiny person and this is so light weight for me to be able to handle picking it up and moving it.

Versatile stroller with great bassinet feature
on February 12, 2020
Posted by: Karnhold
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tested this product as part of Stellar Product Testing Panel. This product is very versatile in that it can be both a bassinet and stroller. We have used the bassinet for our newborn and stroller for our two-year old. The bassinet in particular has been extremely useful. It is large enough to change her diapers which has been great at stores. Also the basket underneath is larger than any other stroller we have used. The canopy for the stroller is nice and big and provides goof coverage. It would be nice if it had an extender of some sort. The stroller is very padded and has a nice foot rest. The only two things that I would change is I wish it was a little easier to assemble and ability to fold it up when it is in the bassinet position.

Easy lightweight stroller
on February 26, 2020
Posted by: Hwhittemore
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter was so excited to try out this new stroller we received as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. We opened it and she tried to help us put it together, but the instructions in the booklet were terrible; it took way longer than it should have to assemble this stroller. However, now that it’s assembled, we LOVE it! It is very lightweight and easy to maneuver one or two-handed. You can connect your infant car seat to it, or use the seat as a bassinet or a toddler seat. In any configuration, the seat can face you or face outward. The toddler seat is roomy and has a 5-point harness. The snack tray hinges open from either side and has 3 sections.
Pros:
-lightweight & easy to stroll (even for petite moms)
-quick to setup or collapse
-seat versatility
-smooth ride
-large SPF50 sunshade to protect from sun/ wind/ rain
-comes with phone holder and cup holder attachments
-extra large storage basket that is very easily accessible (may be my favorite feature!)

Cons:
-not compact when folded, takes up a lot of trunk space
-snack tray sits far away from my toddler
-not compact when folded, takes up a lot of trunk space
-snack tray sits far away from my toddler
Overall, this has become our go-to stroller, mostly due to the large storage bin. It looks modern and sleek without the high price tag. It feels solid and stable and I expect it will hold up for years to come.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bassinet is a Problem
on June 2, 2023
Posted by: missjoy91
I received this for my baby shower. The carseat is great and I like the toddler seat setting. However the bassinet leans down where baby's head should go. By the end of our walks my son's face is always starting to turn red.

Can be better!
on July 3, 2023
Posted by: Sanchez02
from Queens,NY
I get this as a baby shower gift, I love the easy way to close with the bassinet, but I don’t know why the part of the head in the bassinet is lower than the rest, is not even, so it’s no comfortable for my 2 months old who weight 15pounds. That needs to be fix it, cause this can be better.

So versatile--the only stroller you'll need!
on February 15, 2020
Posted by: LaurenA
Truly this stroller is the most versatile strollers that I own; I wish I had this stroller from the time my baby was a newborn! This stroller can be forward or rear facing and configured to be a basinet, a stroller that can hold your infant car seat (adapters sold separately), and a standard stroller with cup holder (cup holder included!) all in one; this is by far the greatest perk of this stroller--you don't have to use your infant carseat to take your infant since it can convert into a basinet! So far, I've used this stroller outdoors at our local animal sanctuary (hard dirt paths), all around our hilly neighborhood, and while running errands, so it has been on a variety of different surfaces with no problems. It was able to handle the hard packed dirt well and without difficulty but I would not consider this an off road stroller for like trail runs. My little man (11 months old now) really seemed to enjoy his ride in this stroller even over rough surfaces. The cup holder was perfect to hold his favorite toys and his sippy cup, and the cup and phone holder the handle bar were perfect for me!
Pros:
-lightweight compared to my other stroller of the same size
-versatility of seat positioning (forward or rear facing, a basinet, a stroller that can hold your car seat, and a standard stroller with cup holder)
-you don't have to use your infant carseat to take your infant since it can convert into a basinet
-folds quickly and easily with one hand because let's be honest: your hands are already packed with so many other things (diaper bag, work bag, baby, purse, groceries...)
-this has the largest storage under carriage out of any stroller I have ever used, and is the ONLY stroller that easily holds my extra large diaper bag plus there's room for my shopping bags too!
-one hand raise and lower back rest
-one hand raise and lower leg rest
-extra large canopy does a great job keeping the sun out of my son's eyes
-I put it together by myself in 15 minutes!

Cons:
-when walking down hill (taking very large steps), I brushed the basket with my toes a few times

The only con could not outweigh all of the pros of this amazing stroller. As a busy mom, the lightweight, portability, and versatility of this stroller cannot be beat. I highly recommend this stroller to everyone as the perfect every day stroller to help make transporting your precious, tiny human a little easier! Anything that makes my life easier is wonderful, and I am so glad I was able to test this stroller in exchange for my honest review as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bassinet Feature is Fantastic!
on February 10, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a wonderful stroller that we received as part of the stellar product testing panel. It’s so easy to use - I really like how simple it is to fold up compared to our old stroller. The best part was that the bassinet came included as part of the stroller rather than having to pay more for that as an add on. That said, it isn’t compatible with our car seat, even with an adapter, so that makes it less convenient until my son gets big enough for the regular seat.
