Stroller RAVE!

Stroller RAVE!

I just bought the First Years Ignite Stroller for my youngest when finally our Graco LiteRider which made it 5 years crapped out.

It is going to be the last stroller we ever purchased, or so I hope. We don't have the need for the full size anymore and I wanted something smaller that folded up like an umbrella without sacrificing the quality of a full size.

I did A LOT of research and this one was consistently rated really highly. Almost a 5 full stars on Amazon. So I pulled the trigger sight unseen. I LOVE it!!!!

GREAT quality, really sturdy and well made. Very tall, so none of that hitting heads on the canopy. The wheels are much better than those on a standard umbrella stroller. I pushed my elementary school aged child around in it just to see how it handled the weight bc it claims to go up to 50lbs. Still rode like a dream and handled really well with a heavy older kid in it. Has a nice parent tray. A good sized basket, while a little hard to get to. Folds up and open easily. Back is really cushioned and it reclines enough so if my kid falls asleep in it we would have droopy head. Handles are really high too, so my DH who is 6' doesn't have to hunch over to push it and he doesn't kick the wheels.

Best part, depending on the pattern....it only runs you about $60!!!!

It doesn't have a snack tray so I bought the Brica Snack Pod to add to it for like $13 bucks and it attaches to it with no issues and the stroller still closes and locks with it on.

i actually bought this and returned it because it didnt recline. Definitely good for an older kid.

Really, mine reclines? Not fully, but I would say about halfway between upright and fully reclined. Maybe they updated this newer model to recline further. Although, I can see how for an infant it may not recline enough. I would def recommend it for a year, year and a half at least.

maybe mine was defective. Because the reason i bought it was that the description said multi position recline... but it didnt move an inch.

Re: Stroller RAVE!

I got the same stroller and so far I really like it! I picked it up from Walmart on sale for $40!!! We have an expensive running stroller so I just needed something basic. I love that it has the area at the top for my cup and keys, etc! I do wish the canopy was better but oh well!

I have the red ignite myself - bought it as a light weight stroller for when I had to fit both that and my mother's scooter in my car. I love the stroller, although part of me wishes I splurged the extra money and got one that fully reclined and had a better canopy. But for the price, it's solid.

Re: Stroller RAVE!

I just purchased the stroller back in May for our trip to Disney since it was nice a light weight. Well I liked it so much I actually sold all my other stroller's and now use this one as the primary stroller . DD is almost 3 years old and it works great for her and takes up little to no space in the trunk.
