However, Cher believed that it was offset by its ease to move around and how big the storage area is with two hanging child and parent cup holders, seat-back pockets and a large underseat storage basket. Cher also liked that seats can be flipped so that they can be positioned to face each other, which is ideal for siblings who love to talk and interact while out and about.

It weighs just 18 pounds, is compact and features an auto-standing fold, making it simple to transport or put in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the affordable price. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as much as the other models we've examined and the rear seat doesn't have great visibility due to its position that is higher than the front seat.
