nyone seen this new FP stroller yet? - Car Seat.Org - Carseat, Vehicle & Child Passenger Safety Forums

Anyone seen this stroller yet? I had heard FP was making strollers, and this one looks very similar to a Bugaboo, but about $600 less! I may have to wander through Burlington the next time I go to the mall, and see if they carry this stroller in the Baby Depot section.

You might want to look at their advertised maximum weight limit before you start singing it's praises. I think it was absurdly low--25lbs?? Maybe 30? I'm not sure I would spend that kind of money on a stroller that would only last a year. Well--then again--my three year old just hit 30lbs...

If you're into the cheaper Bug-a-likes, you might also want to look at the First Wheels. I've actually tried this one out (versus the FP, which is available at Target and I haven't been to Target in a few months as it's...well, in another country..) and it seems okay, although it looks really CHEAP in comparison to the Bug. I probably wouldn't get one of these, either.

yes! only 25# that is ridiculous it looks nice though.

I did not see that it only had a weight limit of 25lbs! Kind of makes the name of the stroller ("Grow With Me") seem ironic. I would not consider buying this stroller for myself, as I just think it's ugly. That's why I sold the Cameleon I received at my baby shower on ebay! LOL I just bought a Britax Preview to keep in the back of my truck, and I'm considering buying a MBU. I was just thinking of someone who likes the style of the Bug, but either can't afford one or is loathe to spend that much money on a stroller.

My BRU just got the floor model. I didnt get to play with it or read any of the info about it (i had THREE kids with me i barely had a hand to check out the car seat!) This one looks nice, it was a tandem style similar to the sit n stand, very padded and comfy looking. I'm going back on Friday for a closer look. I dont need one like this but i HAVE to go back to play with it, if anyone wants photos send me a PM, i think i can get a few if i remember to take along my camera.

My BRU had the new fisher price sit and stand and the new all terrain vehicle one. THe ATV one was amazing. Looks a bit like a wagon with 2 stroller seats facing each other and a platform in between. You can either push or pull it. Very cool looking.

I wonder if my BRU has the all terrain one too. I didnt check the stiller section, the sit n stand style was on display at the end of the car seat section. I think i'm going back today to check on the companion (second time in a week. I should just buy them and get it over with) i'll have to look for it. Is it huge? We need a twin stroller but i'm yet to find one i like or can lift.

It's pretty big. It also would be for kids who are older and able to sit up. More like a wagon than a stroller, but I would guess it would fold up better than a wagon!

melaniev · 06-15-2006, 07:33 PM

that stinks. there are very few alternatives other than joggers for bigger kids that are still too young to keep up with mom.

Mine has it too, the concept is quite neat but it is a BIG stroller
