We have the reclining version, and yeah, it’s fantastic. I use the “big” stroller for when I’m going for a several-miles-long walk including places with no sidewalks, etc. but otherwise it’s all about our “little” stroller. I take this one anytime we go someplace in the car, we take it anytime we’re flying (they make a great bag for it) and it’s so small and lightweight I can even easily take it with me on public transit. We compared a TON of umbrella strollers and this was the only one that really hit all the requirements on our list. The sunshade is definitely one of the best features, it’s WAY better than any others, and that was a huge deal for us because we live at the beach.
