I purchased the The First Years Jet Light Weight Stroller at Walmart.com for $39.99 and had it shipped to the Store for Free because they were sold out in-store We wanted it for the intended purpose of having a small, portable and light weight stroller to have on hand all the time. It also said it holds up to 50 pounds. This is a plus for us as we have a very large 2 year old.
We chose the Black/Grey color so that it could be used by our son or daughters. There were a few things I would have like to know before buying it. The handles are made out of a foamy/rubber-sponge like material. I can already see these getting germ infested with no real way to clean them. Good thing they are black. Also, we live in Arizona. These are going to sun bake and fall apart in no time. They will get all of that crusty fiber on your hands. Additionally, they are very easily damaged. There is already a gouge in one of the handles.
The canopy was a must. However, this mind as well not be on the stroller at all. It does not function as expected. Its also bent in an odd position and ends up smashed between the two handles on the stroller while folded. The basket isn’t big enough to hold a diaper bag, let alone a purse. The cup holders are fabric. I wouldn’t put a drink of any kind in them.
Aside from these factors, the stroller steers well. It pushes easily and does a great job pushing my monsterous two year old around too. Its light weight, compact enough to fit in a small area of the back of the van and can easily be stored in the corner or closet. It was very easy to put together. It took only a few minutes to assemble. It looks brand new (with the exception of the handles) and has made my outings with 3 small children a bit more manageable.
