Before you Buy a Pliko -- Look at a KidCo
I was a tried-and-true Peg Perego fan with my first child, who used her Pliko until she was 4. The stroller was so used and abused that it literally "fell apart" in the middle of the National Mall in Washington DC. I continued my "brand loyalty" and bought another Pliko the day after my 2nd child was born. However, my son was MUCH larger than my daughter, and by the age of 1 1/2, the seat cover had already ripped to shreds due to his weight. I bought a replacement seat cover ($50), however, it only lasted a year. Plus, he has such broad shoulders that he no could no longer fit comfortably in it. <

>My son is now 2 1/2 and 35 pounds, and because our family travels extensively and abuses the heck out of our strollers, I started researching strollers that could accommodate heavier and larger children. I only found two -- the KidCo Lifestyle stroller and the MacLaren. The MacLaren was, in my opinion, a joke because all of their models that were less than $200 had very limited functionality. Since my son enjoys sitting erect and leaning on the bar towards the front of the stroller rather than laying back, none of the MacLarens really worked for me. So I got the Kidco... <

>OH MY GOSH! If I had only found this thing sooner. It is of much better quality at half the price. My large son has SOOOOOO much more room in the Kidco for his broad shoulders than he did in the very narrow Pliko, plus it is much more maneuverable. The basket is at least twice the size and a lot studier than the Pliko. The stroller is much easier to fold and open, and it even included a free boot and rain cover. AND, BEST OF ALL, IT IS EVEN LIGHTER THAN THE PLIKO. The only negative I have found is that it doesn't stand upright by itself in the closed position, so I have to actually lean it up against the wall if leaving it at the front of a restaurant or store. And at only $140, this was truly my buy of the year. <

>Unfortunately, I think Kidco has discontinued their stroller production (they are best know for their child safety products), but you can still find this stroller on clearance at Babies R Us, other baby stores or on ebay. I cannot say enough good things about it. If you like the functionality and quality of a Pliko and are not a brand-snob, you really should consider the KidCo.

Smaller than Graco but fewer features
We purchased an older model of this stroller because my husband hated our Graco Quattro Tour and its large size. If you are in the market, a word to the wise - hold out if you can for when the current models are clearanced to allow for new colors next year - same features, better price! Plusses of this stroller - it is lighter and narrower than the Graco. Also the sunshade can be stretched all the way to the snack tray so you truly can shade your child from the sun (the Graco's only goes overhead). However: While folding takes up less net space, it is longer - it must be diagonal in my Jeep trunk and is too long for trunk-to-backseat. I used to be able to have my Graco all the way to one side and carry a lot of cargo, but now I have to bury my stroller if I need to do it. Also as many have said, the storage basket is hard to access...what were the designers thinking? In the next update I'd love some accessible storage for things like change, napkins, etc. at hand-level like the Graco's had. The cupholder is horrible, it won't hold a cell phone or keys without the danger of them slipping through. Again not sure what they were thinking. <

>Overall I would love to merge the features of the Graco with the lightness and maneuverability of the Peg Perego.

So Far So Good!
I have this stroller in the mint color. We've had it for alittle over a week now. I originally wanted a maclaren but thought it would not be enough support for my 4 month old. The P3 looked comfortable and is a nice looking stroller. So far I like the stroller but the best judge is my baby boy. The first time I sat him in it he hated it, I felt horrible I thought I made the wrong choice, but as the days went by he liked it more and more. I guess the change from a car seat travel system to a spacious stroller took some getting used to. It's not as light weight as I would have liked it to be but for the size of the stroller itself it closes up pretty compact. The wheels started to squeak alittle, I used WD40 and that did the trick. The ride is nice and smooth and the stroller is easy to manover even with one hand. Closing it was alittle of a challenge until I got the hang of it, closing it with one hand it not easy but not impossible. I guess there isn't the perfect stroller out there the important thing is that your baby is safe and comfortable. I feel that with the P3. When he's older and stronger I will get something lighter and compact.
