Kolcraft Travel About Lightweight Stroller

 (3 customer reviews)

This small stroller is fantastic for toddlers and bigger babies. This upgrades my featureless Kolcraft umbrella stroller, which only weighed 7 lbs and steered like a dream. I needed something with minimal sunshade, reasonable basket and to be mega lightweight for upcoming holiday trips times three. I got on the scales with this one and it weighed in at only 10.5 lbs, minus both the parent and child trays (had not installed those yet). The basket is huge for a small, lightweight stroller, and can actually take another 10lbs of weight. The recline feature is basic - drawstring/strap style - as are the parent and child trays. I'll probably leave the child tray off, simply for ease of loading/unloading child. Incidentally, the handlebars are 38 inches high, it's 18 inches wide and, if you take off the kiddy snack tray, it takes up virtually no space at all in your car - could easily go on the back seat, even, or possibly behind front seats or on the passenger front seat if needs...Read more

I purchased the older version of this in 2007 at a Burlington Coat Factory for $35. Had no idea what I was looking for, as we'd only ever had a jogging stroller and a snap n go. I only knew that I wanted it to be lightweight and to have 1 bar across the top, versus 2 handles) so I could steer with one hand. Later, I realized that I had completely lucked out because this stroller also had a huge storage basket, snack tray, and parent cup holder. It lasted us 3 years of heavy use when, unfortunately, the wheels fell off and I resorted to using a different, more expensive stroller (Safety 1st) we had acquired on a vacation. I've been using that stroller ever since, and I hate it because it's so heavy and inconvenient, and just an overall pain in the arse to use. I really miss my Kolcraft.

I'm now pregnant with #3 and so happy I can justify the purchase of a new Kolcraft and get rid of that other stroller. I just took a stroll through Babies R Us to check out the other...Read more

Only a few weeks after gentle use of this stroller, the wheels became very very squeaky.. I'm now fed up of this stroller and in the search of a replacement.. Was simply a wast of money..
