Would this end up being a mistake? Kolcraft Contours Options

You stroller-nuts are rubbing off on me!

I have in my mind that I need a stroller that has the option to rear face the seat. I just feel like DD would do better sometimes facing me so that we could "talk" instead of her just zoning out at the general public. And she's always turning around trying to look at me. This is the cheapest one I can find - ($ is an issue). http://www.amazon.com/Kolcraft-Cont..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1PCYZ2Z4FR2DRJAY4F0A I think I'll end up at BRU tomorrow to see if they have it in the store.

I *really* want a (insert drool here) Britax Vigour or a Dreamer Design Park Avenue, but just can't afford either of those . Maybe I need to start selling stuff on e-bay to accumulate a savings so I can get one I really want.

I *think* the only one that you can fold down while the seat is rear facing still is the Britax...but then that one's the heaviest too! (DDPark Ave-24#, Vigour-30#, Kolcraft Options-27#)

Now you have me wanting one LOL. I had a stroller that the handle flipped like that in 1994 when DS#3 was a baby. I loved that I could have him face me

OMG you guys! Now I HAVE to get it! LOL! I'll have to tell DH it was $50 or something.

Lisa - did you get it from Amazon? I think that's the cheapest place I could find it.

Yes Sarah I got it from amazon. I cna hardly wait until it get here. Good thing I ordered DD a bundle me light toddler for her strollers. It is a little chilly here this time of year. I will need to go walking. I actually meant to order the regular bundle me toddler and not the lite, but figure with he Jouneys end jacket she will be fine.

Kind of late now, but I read the 4 wheeler one has a much more roomy seat...I was really wanting that 4 wheel one.... I'm sure the 3 wheel is fine, though

The 4 wheeler also cost less, but the seat is not reversible. That is why I went with the 3 wheeler.

There's 2 four-wheel versions..the cheap one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1TF0TWXP2W5C75VT47MZ and the reversible one http://www.amazon.com/Kolcraft-Contours-Options-Wheeler-Stroller/dp/B000J27A66

Ahh I see I probably would have paid the extra buck for the extra wheel had I known. I know now though. Thanks It is actually 4 lbs lighter than the 3 wheeler.

I still haven't gotten it. And free shipping ends tonight .

I just can't do it. I played with the Britax Vigour today at USA Baby...it was SWEET. I was hoping that they'd have a Dreamer Design Park Ave for me to check out, but they didn't.

Decisions decisions.

I wonder if the 4 wheel Kolcraft reversible is shorter (and more maneuverable in small areas) than the 3 wheel? I wish they would give seat dimensions on their website. Has anyone been able to find actual seat dimensions on these Kolcrafts?

Oh - well that's too bad. What's their return policy like? Could you return it and get the 4 wheeler instead if you wanted?

I am not sure. DH does not know I even bought it, so we will see. I won't return it if I have to pay return shipping. I am sure I will keep it.

I honestly don't think you'll be disappointed anyway. Post with your opinion and pics when you get it!
