Very nice stroller!!! (eye catching),
April 22, 2010 This review is from: The First Years Wave Stroller (Baby Product)
UPDATE (5/17/11):
Stroller still works great and is comfortable for our 11-month old. We did not have any other issues or problems.
***I was, however, wrong about the break (in my previous update). It works fine after all. I wasn't pressing it all the way down and that's why it wasn't bouncing back up on its own.
As for the backrest (some reviewers complained that it's not upright enough), it can be adjusted to be more upright by pulling hard on the straps and clipping the whole thing together with the provided/attached clip. I will admit, it is a pain in the behind sometimes, but (undeniably) the option is there and can be done.
Huge canopy and reversible seat are life savers. The best thing if it's sunny or windy; or if you just want to make the inside of the stroller darker and block out some of the "noise" when the baby is sleeping.
One annoying thing is the peek-a-boo window cover. It doesn't want to stay "open" and keeps covering the little window so...Read more

I'm expecting #3 and I will admit that I am a sucker for strollers. This is the eleventh stroller I have purchased in the past 7 years. Don't judge me. Besides, there are single strollers, jogging strollers, double stroller, etc. Different strollers, different purposes and I currently only have 3 right now! Moving on...
I just received the Wave stroller by The First Years. It has so many incredible features that I'm sure many other companies will begin to take notice and try to duplicate. The reversible seat is incredible. I love that you don't have to take the baby out and flip the entire seat to have the baby facing the other direction. The entire seat swivels as it rotates on the frame (which my 3 year old really enjoyed spinning around!#. By doing it this way, the swivel wheels always stay forward facing and the larger wheels and brake are always at the back. Brilliant! I had the Peg Perego Venezia for my son and loved that the handle flipped without taking...Read more

***EDIT 8/22/11***
After about six months of use I ended up selling this stroller. Here's why:
1)It does not sit at a full upright "0" degree angle (90*). As my son aged, he hated being somewhat reclined. This was a major factor in my decision.
2) Basket. Basket basket. The lack of storage was really annoying and got worse as it went on.
3) The footrest is not adjustable. This is sort of a pro/con based on the fact the seat turns into a bassinet, but his little legs stuck straight out when seated and hung over, he was uncomfortable.
4) The two part fold. This really didn't bother me that much, but I greatly prefer being able to fold the entire thing together if necessary.
5) Fabric. In Urban, the black fabric really wasn't as nice as I would have liked. It did repel stains but I wanted something that looked nicer.
All in all, I did enjoy the stroller and was quite sad to give up the spin feature. However, now that my son mostly wants to...Read more
