Know anything about this stroller?

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this Fisher-Price stroller. If it's any good? Thanks!

We used the FP stroller until this Fall when my son was seriously outgrowing it and we got a BJCM. It only retailed for $150 when we bought it in 2007. pros: I really like the way the FP stroller handled and you could easily push it with one hand. The seat faces forward or backwards, which is also a nice feature. The basket isn't huge, but it's really easily accessible. The handle can be easily adjusted to accommodate a tall or short (me!) parent. The seat can be reclined back with just a quick flip of a knob behind the canapy. cons: The wheel base is horribly wide and I had a lot of issues in different stores trying to fit down the aisle or navigating around clothing racks. The seat is really shallow- my son's petite, undiapered bottom barely fit on the seat. It's huge when folded- it took up the whole storage area in my Matrix.
Let me know if you have any other questions!

this is a nice stroller-very similar to the Kolcraft Contours http://images.google.com/imgres?img...v=/images?q=Kolcraft+Contours&hl=en&sa=N&um=1

Thanks guys! I am mostly looking to use it outdoors. Is it any good for that?

I think it works great for outdoors on the road and sidewalks. I also used it a few times on the grass when we went to the park and I remember it pushing pretty nicely on the uneven, grassy terrain. The back wheels are big pneumatic tires, which definitely makes for easier handling. Personally, I think it's a much smoother ride than the current BJCM that we use. As long as your child is still young and/or on the tinier side, I think it's a good buy!
