My rating is based solely on this stroller as a single because that is what you get if you buy this product. However my review will include information on it as a sit and stand, double, or triple. This product, purchased as is here, is a single stroller. And it is a single stroller with some nice touches. It comes with; -belly bar (this is usually an add on for strollers in this price range) which is removable and swivel away from either side. - seat, which is reversible and reclinable, however it only has an 18.5” seatback which is pretty low for a nicer stroller. Also the footrest is not adjustable. Since this is a bucket seat stroller a non adjustable footrest is only a big deal when baby is old enough to sit upright but not tall enough for their knee to bend at the end of the seat. However, if the footrest were adjustable you could also adjust it level with the folded frame and cut several inches off the folded length of this stroller. This is the first time I’ve seen a full size stroller that didn’t have an adjustable footrest. -canopy, it is extendable by an easy zipper, once extended it can reach all the way to the belly bar. Instead of a peekaboo window the last panel of fabric can be folded out of the way to reveal mesh, you can watch baby or use this for airflow. This is a very nice touch. -basket, the basket is insane. It has high enough sides to hold stuff in but not so high to make it inaccessible from the sides. You can access it from all 4 sides of the stroller with ease. Even if the seat is in the lower position and you feel like it’s a little more difficult, the front unzips to make accessibility easier. The basket is big enough to easily fit TWO good size diaper bags. -handlebar, is nice and leather covered although my leather is starting to puff a bit at the area where it meets the center adjustment button and it’s only a month old. The handlebar is telescoping which is quite nice when using the bench seat, though I think they could add 1 more adjustment and it would be better for taller parents and for not kicking the feet of a bench seat rider (and would allow a child on a rider board to be able to stand between the canopy and handle even if the seat was in the upper position) -fold, is a bit big for a single stroller, I refer back to my comment on the adjustable footrest. I do like that it folds in 1 piece so you do not have to remove the seat in upper or lower position. I also like that the fold is no bigger with the tote or bench seat attached as well. The way it folds though leaves much to be desired. If you want to keep a meticulous stroller don’t even try the Qool, it folds onto the floor which scratches up your footrest. It also does not stand when folded. I’ve managed to learn to grab the belly bar as I’m folding it to hold it and keep it from falling onto the concrete. It also is a 2 hand fold, you have to pull up on peices on each side of the handlebar. -weight, again, a bit heavy for a single but not any bigger than a comparable stroller like the Baby Jogger City select -frame, seems very sturdy, doesn’t have any wriggle too it. It has 2 slots to put the seat into. However you need adaptors in the slots to fit the seat into and it only comes with 1 set and another seat isn’t easily ordered from Amazon. What does this mean? It means if you have baby in the lower position, maybe to give a bench rider more space, and then you arrive at a cafe and want to use the stroller right at the table you not only have to remove the seat but you have to remove the adapters, move them to the upper position and then move the seat into the adapters. This isn’t a huge deal but, if you’re thinking of little details like a leather handlebar and included belly bar, why are we not including 2 adapters or an adjustable footrest? It’s like they thought of the little things and stopped including them halfway through design. The frame also has slots to put in front adapters (sold separately) to convert it to a double stroller (or to use your seat with the tote, sold separately). -wheels, the wheels are a good size, it handled grass, dirt, gravel, and cracks in the sidewalk with ease, even with someone in the bench seat. Yet they aren’t so big that the fold is huge. Now, there are accessories you can buy, including ones that will make this a sit and stand or a double or triple stroller. Everything is sold separately. You can buy the bench seat which works with the seat in the upper or lower positions forward facing. In the upper position you lose a lot of rear accessibility to the basket but have a ton from the front. In the lower position you can still access the basket behind the bench seat. The bench seat easily clicks on and off or can be folded with the stroller. It has a backrest, adjustable footrest, and seatbelt. Though the seat, in my humble opinion, isn’t the sturdiest, it’s not even a board but more like a really sturdy cardboard. It works but I’ve had a kid stand on it trying to see over the canopy and that pops the seat through the frame partially and then it has to be popped back. Again, the little details. You can buy front adapters for the seat, this allows you to use the seat with the tote while forward facing or with the bench seat parent facing (these positions are not possible without the front adapters). Using the seat with the front adapters though makes the stroller almost as long as any double tandem stroller. You can buy a second seat to use with the front adapters. These allows you to have a double stroller with 2 full seats or a triple stroller with 2 full seats and 1 bench seat. The nice thing is that the second seat is a full size, same as the original, seat. You can also buy a bassinet or car seat adapters for use with your newborn. As a single the stroller is OK but there are many similar options. It pushes well as a single and even as a double or triple. As a double you still have to remove the second seat to fold it so I don’t really feel like it has anything over the City Select or Contours strollers. But as a triple or single with a bench seat it shines. There are so few “triple” options that aren’t a beast. And most sit and stand options either cannot be folded without removing or their are nearly as big as a double stroller so don’t save you any space. This stroller folds with the bench attached and folded or open it’s not any bigger with the bench attached. I still feel like, for this price, there are some details they missed. But it fits in such a missed stroller market that it’s really THE option for those unique situations.
