CLOSED: The First Years Ignite Lightweight Stroller (+Giveaway)

I admit it. Bunny Boo has one of the most padded and comfy baby car seats today, thanks to The First Years. Yes it is much wider than a regular car seat and heavy but since we have it permanently placed in Daddy's car, we have no complaints! Thus when I was asked to review The First Years Ignite Lightweight Stroller I was excited as it couldn't have come at a better time.


The Buzz:

Bunny Boo has just crossed the 9 month milestone and is becoming a little too heavy for me to carry around everywhere especially while dropping and picking Bunny girl to preschool. We have a great jogging stroller but it's way too bulky to place in the car and swiftly pull out to use. It's around the time I was contemplating to go "stroller shopping" that we were sent the Ignite Stroller in Red Stripe. (God has awesome timing, honestly!)



The stroller comes compact in package and requires minimal assembly. The only things you need to do are fit in the 6" wheels and attach the canopy.



This 14 lb Ignite Lightweight Stroller has tall handles (This is helpful especially if you're a taller person and if you generally suffer from back aches and strains) and a 5 point harness that keeps a wriggly baby safely strapped in.
(Mine's more of a bouncy baby than wriggly, so this is perfect!)



The wide passenger seat can be reclined by adjusting the toggles found behind the little passenger's seat.



The stroller also comes with a fully adjustable and removable canopy that will shade your baby well as long as he/she doesn't like to pop forward to enjoy the moving scenery that passes by. (Yes that's my Bunny Boo for you!)



What's also neat about this stroller is that it has two storage compartments: an upper storage console to stash away those keys, wallet, a bottle of water and your mobile phone and a lower basket storage for your handbag.



On the movement safety front, it comes with rear wheel brakes and front wheel swivel locks to keep the stroller stationary and secure, when required.


E.B. Mommy's Report:

There are four things I love about this stroller:

1. I can use the same till Bunny Boo weighs 50 lbs. (That's value for money!)
2. Its lightweight yet sturdy in framework. (Pulling out 14 lbs from the car beats carrying a 20lb infant around)
3. It has two storage compartments, something that both my other lightweight strollers for Bunny girl never did have. (Sure I wish the lower basket was a little bigger and had an easier "place things in"-"take things out" passageway but atleast it's there!)



4. The stroller is easy to pull open and fold up and fits perfectly in my car's trunk, without hogging up unnecessary space .
