Its on my local graigslist.

Is it easy to push?

Is the handle fairly tall? I have a pretty long stride and want a stroller that I'm not going to be kicking when I'm walking all the time.

I don't need the bassinett part since my son is about 35pds. But for $80 the price looks good I think.

Or would you go for something else.

I've never heard of that brand, but it looks pretty neat! The price looks reasonable too.

I have great difficulty turning strollers without swivel front wheels once the kid passes 20 pounds or so. it's tough to just lift and turn with more weight. it sounds like you're looking for a jogging stroller - they usually put the wheels out of the way of your feet. there are some great new ones with swivel wheels too!

I just bought a Peg w/fixed wheels (12" air filled) and it's a DREAM to push, even with a 26lbs 14mo old. I bought it strictly for walking in my neighborhood. We don't have sidewalks, and it's been awesome...even off road. And I'm 5'11".

For the price, it would certainly be worth risking it. If you don't like it, you should be able to get your price back out of it.

Do you think that the current owner would let you come test drive?
