Great little stroller First. I would like to clarify something regarding the way amazon is presenting this product. As you notice, the blue and orange options are more expensive than the green and red. It appears that you are just being charged more for the color choice, but in actuality, the orange and blue are another stroller all together. its the Pearl stroller and it is not the same as the onyx stroller. The onyx is the one you can take in a plane's overhead compartment. It doesnt have solid one handle bar, instead, it has 2 separate ergonomic handles, like an umbrella stroller. Look at the pic and you will notice they are different products. Also the rear wheels on the Pearl are much bigger than on the Onyx. Another major difference is that you can reverse the direction of the seat on the pearl so that your child faces in or out. You cannot do this on the Onyx. I clarify because I accidentally bought the Onyx thinking it had the features listed on the Amazon de ion. If you search for Delta Pearl stroller you will get the accurate de ion for that item.
As for the onyx. It is an excellent little stroller. Its not so little when you open it, it looks comfortable wide and tall. Also I was very impressed by the suspension system. It works beautifully on uneven terrain. The wheels are not the plastic graco kind that mostly shakes the whole stroller. They are hard but with rubber therefore, they absorb most of the impact. The stroller folds and unpacks beautifully. Just push down on the upper bar between handles, hold the levels at the handles and press forward. It even has a lock to keep it closed and stands when folded. The basket is not big as you can see from the pic but its deep. You can fit a medium purse or a diaper bag maybe on its side sticking up. What I like about it is that its not all mesh so things dont get stuck in the netting. It has a plastic bottom, therefore allowing you to retrieve things easily.
The Snugride clicks right onto to bumper bar. You just remove the fabric from it, click it in (it sounds when you click it), and as an extra security measure there are stretchy hooks that connect the car seat to the stroller handles. These can be left on the stroller, even when folding it so that you dont have to be looking for them when needed.
The canopy is actually good. It looked small in the picture but it covers about 1/2 the stroller. If you click the Graco snugride onto it, both canopies work together to cover your child completely if needed.
I had purchased the "protect a bub 3-1 canopy" thinking that I would need it for this stroller but now I think I wont after seeing how well it works.
I would buy a parent organizer with hooks for shopping bags, etc and place it on the handles given that there are no cup holders. But the stroller is only 15 pounds so I wouldnt over load it.
The seat does not recline fully and the foot rest does not move up, it is fixed in the position you see it in the pics. You rely on the harness for your child to stay in place, luckily its a 5 point harness that is very adjustable. I wouldn't put an infant younger than 3 months in the stroller The instruction state that the stroller is for children who have head control. My 3 month old can hold her head up no problem, but you have to see about your own situation. Luckily with the infant car seat option you can use it like this until your baby is old enough to ride it.
The reclining mechanism is very simple. Its just a buckle that you undo to let lose the fabric and recline it or your click it to raise the seat back. You can adjust the buckle straps to give you various angles but it doesnt lay flat by any stretch of the imagination. Which is why it is so important that you notice that when the amazon de ion says its appropriate for newborns because it lays flat they are referring to the PEARL stroller (in orange and blue).
A 1st Birthday Present I thought this toy looked cute on line for my little grandson's 1st birthday present. It is cute and seems heavy duty, however, it is a little short for his size. It doesn't turn easily and he has a hard time backing it up.(He's is not yet walking on his own, but can hold on and walk with it.) I ended up also purchasing another toy (a little plastic shopping cart with removable items in it) which he enjoys much more.
more size choice would be nice.... pakool are made in different diameter. 10",11", 12'. consider this when purchasing one . if you are buying for a child or an adult you need to keep this in mind. no choice offered here, but the quality is good. nice wool, solid construction. the diameter is 10.5" so it doesn't quite work for me. i'm 6'0".
Baby Changing Table DaVinci Jenny Lind Baby Changing Table - WhiteMy daughter-in-law was very pleased with this changing table. Assembling was easy and the table is sturdy. The two shelves are roomy so lots of diapers, lotions, powder can be stored for quick changing.
way too big These tights are cute but just way too long for my 4 month old daughter to wear and she's above average in height! I don't see how they could fit any baby under 3 months old.
