I love this stroller and use it almost daily when the weather permits! My daughter is now 2 but we've been using it for about a year now and she loves it also. It is very easy to fold up and has lots of storage space. We love the adjustable handle as my husband is quite a bit taller than me. The only cons (both of which I knew about prior to purchasing the product thanks to other reviews) are that the shoulder straps are easy for her to wiggle out of and when collapsed down, the stroller does not have a mechanism to latch it in place. All and all, it's awesome for the price and is an excellent choice for someone like me who just enjoys a smooth walk and occasionally jogging!

Has excellent features. The swivel front wheel is a must for jogging strollers. No rigid turns and bending your child back to rotate. Only con would be that around the tire wells it is rusting a bit from moist weather and dampness outside. I had the Ditto prior to this when both my kids were small and it too rusted. Great stroller for the cost. My almost 7 yr old still fits inthis although it is for her 4 yr old sister, so it is roomier than most Joggers.

It's bulky when collapsed, and nothing holds it closed. Fabric is stiff. Canopy window tore at velcro closure seam. Ride is good. Nimble. Doesn't have shocks, but not sure that matters. At less than 1/2 the price of a BOB, I still think it's a good deal, but I kind of wish I had splurged now. Barely fits in back of a Toyota Matrix. All in all I'm happy. I don't think it will break anywhere that it matters.

I love how easy this stroller is to maneuver, whether at the park or in the mall. However, it is a bit of a pain to take the wheels on and off every time I need to store it in the trunk. I really mind that when the weather isn't cooperating! I would recommend it to a friend though. Much better than the last stroller we had for our 2 year old.

I use my jogging stroller with my 5 month old on rough, gravel terrain, and in snow. It rolls smoothly and my baby seems to love it. It is a great quality jogging stroller, very well-made. It's kinda big and bulky to fold up, but most jogging strollers are.

So far my husband & I love our new stroller. It was so easy to set up, ride is very smooth (our son has fallen asleep in it many times), and is sharp looking. I love that the handle bar adjusts, as my husband is 6'5", so he needed that. I am not a jogger or runner, but love to go on hikes, walks, and to the zoo. This stroller was exactly what we were looking for since I wanted something with air tires.

My daughter in law is very happy with the stroller. The baby seems to enjoy it. A couple of attachable plugs that go on the wheels came off too easily, but otherwise an excellent stroller.

I've only had the opportunity to use this stroller a few times, but I really do love it. My daughter really likes it and says she is comfortable and that is really inportant to me. As well, my husband likes it and he is very picky about strollers as well. I'm going to enjoy walking with this stroller once the weather warms up and we can get back on a regular exercise schedule.

I got this stroller because I needed something to hold my growing 2 year old. I researched a lot of different types and this one seemed to be the best suited for our needs. I don't use it "OFF ROADING" but in Massachusetts there are even pot holes on the sidewalks!
Needless to say, it really does the job! My daughter fell asleep in it the first time we used it and she LOVES to go for walks. It is easy to put together and it is a lot smaller than my Graco Metro-Lite stroller - and a lot easier to turn. Storage space is good, but it is difficult to get things in and out. The handle is adjustable so it adjusts to all types of "DRIVERS". I would buy this again! I can't wait until the warmer weather gets here!

I purchased this stroller based off of other reviews and have been VERY pleased with it. It is super comfortable for both my husband and I to use and our daughter loves it! There are lots of storage pockets and the sun canopy actually covers her completely! It is very easy to steer and converts to a fixed front wheel quickly. The only cons are that there is no locking mechanism to hold it in place once it is collapsed for storing and the back support portion of the seat does not adjust to a fully upright position. I knew about both of these issues prior to purchasing the stroller and neither have really bothered us yet. I would highly recommend this stroller to anyone who wants a great stroller without a gross pricetag attatched.

I did a lot of research on jogging strollers before I chose the Dreamer Designs Manhattan Lite, and if I had to do it over again I would make another choice. Overall, the stroller is user-friendly. It's light and easy to fold and handle. It steers great and the bubble sunshade is fantastic. However, it has a generally flimsy feel to it, and it rattles terribly. The flaws that bother me the most are the way the seat reclines and the wheel locking knob. The seat recline strap is useless. It is way up at the top of the seat so the middle of the seat sags terribly. My 10-month-old doesn't like riding in the stroller for long because of how badly the seat sags even in full-upright position. I've resorted to propping her up with a blanket behind her back. Also, the wheel lockout knob is hard to turn and doesn't feel very sturdy. I'm just hoping it doesn't break or corrode! We haven't had any significant problems with this stroller, and we do use it a lot. However, if I was making this buying decision all over again I would spend more money for a higher quality jogging stroller. The quality of this one is not what I hoped it would be.

[...]The stroller is sharp looking, sturdy, easy to set up, and so far looks pretty comfortable. I will recommend this website to all of my friends looking for a stroller for sure!

This was a good buy for the price. It's a little too large for my 4-month old but at the rate she's growing, that won't be a problem for long. I live in a rural area so the suspension isn't exactly equipped for the dirt and gravel roads. It's not too bad on the hard top surfaces; I suppose it would be perfect on pavement or sidewalks of more urban areas. My daughter doesn't seem to mind though; she typically falls asleep.

I love all the pockets and compartments. They're perfect for a bottle of water, an extra burp cloth, my cell phone and keys.

Overall, I think the stoller is well worth the money.

It is easy to turn, wheather or not the front wheel is fixed. I don't have to man-handle it on curves or when I'm not on a paved path. My granddaughter is almost two and she likes it alot and is very comfortable. She can't climb out of the straps either. I have another jogging stroller that I have used since she was a 8wks old and it was hard to turn; as she grew, she was able to climb out of the straps. She can't climb out of my new stroller! The sun shield is really great and adjustable to the forward position so you can block the sun. I like the air vents on the sides, it really gets HOT here in the summer. I like the storage basket because it is high up from the road and dosen't let the dirt get all over everything that is stored there!

I did an endless amount of research before buying my stroller. I finally decided on the Manhattan Lite for a few reasons; it was affordable, I wanted a swivel wheel that also locked into place, I travel to sunny locations, therefore, the sun canopy was important to me. My husband is much taller than me and we like the adjustable handle bar. I'm so grateful that the stroller also came with a plastic rain cover, it worked wonders this winter from wind and rain! To be honest, I wanted a B.O.B. I went to a local store to test one out and thankfully I did! My daughter is tall for her age and didn't have any head room. Manhattan Lite has many of the same features as B.O.B but is half the price and has the room to grow with the child.

With every stroller comes the down falls...
It doesn't have a hand break ( which would be nice for the local terrain but not the end of the world). I wish I would have considered the fact that the seat does not have any suspension, she feels every little pebble. The swivel wheel is defective. To lock the wheel push the pin in, and to make it swival pull the pin out. Simple right? On my stroller with the pin out ( to swivel ), if the wheel straightens out at all it locks automatically, truly a pain in the mall. I had to go to the hardware store to buy clips to prevent to the pin from locking. The harness system took me a few tries to figure out- but it does it's job.

Other than those minor details, I love my stroller! My 17 month old daughter and I walk up to 6 miles every day with relatively no discomfort. I strongly advise buying the seat pad for additional cushion.

We were really impressed with the quality of the Dreamer Design when we got it. The quality is as high as a Bill & Ted or Bob Revolution, but for much less money. The maneuverability and flexibility is great and we plan to use it beyond the general usage of a jogging stroller. The wheels are of high bicycle quality and easily removable. We would definitely buy again!
