Any experience with the Baby Planet strollers?

AtTheSouthDam · Jun 3, 2010

I promised my very good friend my Mac for her baby due next month. I thought DD2 would be done with as she can now walk much longer distances. However, we are still needing it for social issues (she needs someplace she feels secure when dealing with large groups. I can't hold her the whole time

)

Her hubby likes orange and they are having a girl so I found this and showed it to her:

I like the adjustable handles. She is 5'5" and he is 6'4" ish. She loves the color scheme.
Thoughts? I know nothing of the brand and I don't want to spend that much on a stroller that will fall apart or just be horrible.

If it is a decent stroller can anyone find an irresistible price?

Kidzndogz has the green one. It's a nice stroller. I was pushing it in the parking lot, and it wasn't too bad. (although not as easy to push as my baby jogger city mini single)

I have one. I like it ok. It has a huge basket underneath that is very easy to access. The seat is nice and padded and completely comes off for easy washing. I've washed mine at least 4 times already in the washer (canopy, seat, and basket) and it still looks great. The only thing I don't like about it is pushing it with a heavier kiddo in it. It says it will hold up to a 50 lb child, but I needed to push DS2 last year in it on the board walk (he was about 40 lbs) and it was not smooth and was very hard to do.

I got mine off of craigslist for $70 so it was definetly worth it. I think if I had paid full price I would have been disappointed.

My friend just bought the green one and LOVES it. She walks Warrior hill (a huge hill on base the soldiers walk to loose weight) with it and LOVES it! I pushed it and it was pretty easy but I have defiently pushed easier ones.
She plans on buying the one you linked, for a friend.

They periodically show up on some of the deal-a-day sites. I know Green Baby Bargains has had them...

Last time GBB had one was in February, it was actually the one you linked to and sold for $99.

So depending on their timeframe (would they really use it with a newborn?), it might pay to wait & watch.

There isn't a huge hurry. The baby is due July 17th and she plans on baby wearing or using the snap and go for the first few months. She was aware my Mac was not suitable for a newborn though I may just loan her the Bertini (old carriage style, perfect for newborns!) for the first few months.

I'll keep an eye out for them then. Do you have ink for Green Baby Bargains? I have never heard of them.

Linky to Green Baby Bargains http://www.greenbabybargains.com

I bought some Safe Sippys off them a few months ago, no issues with the site.

Search through the blog for the old Baby Planet listings.
