PegPerego Aria Stroller Review

I have had so many strollers I don't know where to begin. My son just turned two years old and I have already owned 4 strollers. I hate each one of them for different reasons. I thought this one was going to be my answer. I was wrong. I hate this stroller as well. Don't get me wrong, I do like one aspect of it, let me explain.

My son is on the bigger side and this stroller has plenty of room for him to move around. He likes to look and see what is going on around him. But because he is on the bigger side that makes it difficult to move this stroller around in the stores. When I tested this stroller out in the store it was really easy to turn because it was light. I should have let my son sit in it at the store but I didn't think to do that at the time. Once you add they 33 pound toddler you can't turn it. The wheels are awful!!!!! My friend has this same exact stroller and she is having the same problem and her son is no where near as big as mine. She called the company and the sent her new wheels. That worked for about a week. Then back to the same turning problem. I can't turn this thing around without breaking a sweat.

The one thing I actually like on the stroller is the 5 point harness. Although it is not padded it does have a release so my son can sit forward and see everything. That is what I actually do use it a lot. The only problem with the harness is that I have it all the way extended and it barely fits my son when he is wearing his wearing coat. It gets so tight on him he can barely move. It must be so uncomfortable for him.

Another thing about this stroller that I am not too fond with is that it is very difficult to close. You need both hands. Sometimes when someone is waiting for your parking spot you get so nervous you can't even close it. How AWKWARD!!!!

The stroller does come with a basket on the bottom. It is ok I guess. It holds things when I go shopping. I don't have much to complain about that.

In regards to the cup holder it's pretty flimsy. It could hold a bottle of water but I wouldn't put too much in it. I have heard from other users that it can break. I haven't had that experience just yet.
