I love it. Just a few issues:

1) The two smaller wheels don't work well. (To be fair, we took the stroller on the plane and they damaged the wheels although someone else told me theirs just jams often.)They get stuck all the time, making it difficult to push. The company is sending me replacement wheels, free.

2) The basket is very small.

3) The bassinet and regular seat are not practical for traveling as they don't fold. When my baby outgrows the carseat, I will have to buy a lightweight stroller to use when traveling/going to the mall. However, the actual frame is easy to fold and not too heavy.

I hope I was helpful. Any other questions, feel free to ask.

I actually went to look at it in a store last week.

it seems like a pretty good stroller, the saleslady loves it, she said it's a good company - although, in my opinion, they're new so how would they know if it's a good company. what if they go bankrupt and then you'll never be able to get any customer service out of them (I'm saying this because it already happenned to me - I had bought a stroller from a very new company, and 3 months later, when I needed something from them, I found out they closed down!)

anyway....what I found out:
it doesn't fold compact at all
the sun shade is WAY too short
it's very easy to maneuver - laying down the seat is easy too.
it's overall pretty cute

I hope this will be helpful info for those who are interested in getting it.

I have the rockstar.

At first, I was happy, then the wheels gave me trouble.
Then I spoke to the company who told me to oil them, which we did, and now I am really happy with it.

Its cute.
the hood may be short, but it has the plus of being adjustable and u can move it back and forth to cover ur baby. I loved this.
Hate the small basket on the bottom.
but u cant have everything....

Anyone else have anything to say about it?

I see more and more ppl getting it.
I wonder if they will come out with any new colors...

People are getting it as a cheaper alternative to the Bugaboo and reviews are mixed.
Killy, the company who makes it is called Hauck, they have been in the baby business in Germany(?) for a while. I hear Customer Service is good, but not everyone loves them. My friend has one and the frame just broke one day while she was walking. The company replaced it. No stroller is perfect.

I cudnt see on the website that it was made by Hauck but if it is they're a well-known company in UK but not the best quality, they do a few products that are copies of 'designer brands'
This stroller looks really cute an is prob much cheaper than the bugaboo.
If u got it what colour wud u choose?

I would get it in grey. I don't like the red one and the white one is impractical. it is the cheaper alternative to the bugaboo, very popular in NY, I've seen a few of them.
I'm probably not getting it though. I have my eye on a diff. one (well, 2 actually...).

I didn't order any yet. I'm 5 days overdue today, and I really should make a decision....
I'm actually leaning toward the stokke xplory - it is expensive, but I'm just so in love with it. so we'll see. I feel like treating myself and splurging to "reward" myself for going through a tough 9 months.
I was also looking into one of the mutsy strollers - also expensive- it comes in very cute colors....I guess I'm waiting to see if I'm having a boy or a girl, then I can pick a stroller and a color.
hopefully that'll happen soon enough....I'll keep you posted.
