Love the stroller. Well, except for the brake release. They are caps that you depress by each of the back wheels. Not hard to engage, but very difficult to release,especially if you are wearing sandals or flip flops. I don't jog with this, so i am not always wearing tennis shoes when i use it.
The car seat is ok but the new fandangled devices they have attached to the latch strap render the seat unsafe. It is impossible for the seat to be tight in my honda odyssey when using latch. I can get the base down tight with the seat belt, but i want the baby to ride in the middle of the van. We have the middle captain seat shifted to the center of the van to allow easy access to the rear for some of my other kids, and to provide a safer spot for the baby. Well, to use the seatbelt in that seat position means you basically erect a seatbelt gate that blocks entry to the rear of the van. Also, this seat like almost every other infant seat, has no tether on the rear. So, in the event of a rear end collision, the rear(head seat will fly up in the air and in the case of a roll over,it will flop up and down. Yes, even when tightly fastened by eitherl atch or seatbelt. So, i am going to have to donate this, i guess. Since, i have already used the stroller a lot and i bought thm as a set. Hooray that tne sunshine kids seat i ordered arrived today. It has a tether for the rear of the seat and it will last thru 65 pounds.
