You can use it from birth without buying a bassinet. The basket holds up to 33 lb for walks to the grocery store. It weighs 28.3 lb, so you'll feel it each time you load the car.

The basket holds 33 lb. That's a good reason to walk to the store instead of getting everyone back into the car. The diaper bag, a spare jacket and dinner can ride underneath. Your shoulder gets a break.

Foam-filled, puncture-proof tires mean you can leave the pump out of this. Suspension at the front and rear helps with bumps along the way. Think the rough bit between your front door and the nicer path through the park.

The handle height adjusts, too. If you and your partner take turns, neither of you has to stick with the other's setting. The rear foot brake uses red to lock and green to release.

The seat lies all the way flat and works from birth. You can take your newborn for a walk without buying a bassinet. That's one less big baby thing to find a place for at home.

There are five recline spots, and you change the angle with one hand. When the busy little face goes quiet, you can lower the seat for the sleepy part of the walk. No need to end the trip just because the view has lost its charm.

The seat can face you or the street. You can keep your face in view during those early walks, then turn the seat around later. Passing dogs become a lot more exciting than a parent eventually. It's nothing personal.

The stroller folds in one piece with the seat facing either way. After a walk with your baby looking at you, you can close it like that. You don't have to turn the seat around before dealing with the trunk.

The fold locks on its own and stands up. At home, it can wait while you get the baby and bags through the door. At the car, you still have to lift it.

That lift is 28.3 lb. If you drive to nearly every walk, picture it going in and out at each stop. The big basket is great on foot. You'll feel the weight when the wheels stop doing the work.
