Purchased this stroller for a trip to New York City and it worked perfectly! Let me start by saying it folds up small enough to easily get on and off of planes, busses, subway, and fits easily into the trunk of any uber! Folds easily and can be done with one hand...we used the stroller for about a week before going on vacation so we could get used to folding and unfolding the stroller. Folding is very easy...unfolding is a little cumbersome but can still be done pretty easily (my 10 year old was usually the one to fold and unfold the stroller). Pushes very easily!!! Can be pushed and turned with one hand and even with my 40lb child in the stroller it was a breeze to push! (At one point my ten year old climbed in the stroller with my 40lb two year old...i wouldnt recomend this...but it still was super easy to push). Stroller was narrow enough to fit through the tiniest of pizza places and packed stores in Time Square. Canopy comes down very far to completely block out sun and bad weather...in fact it comes down so far that my son often times lifted it up so that he could see better. I read many reviews before purchasing this and almost didnt purchase because many people stated it had a narrow seat that the child would slide out of..i have a big 2 year old so I was concerned about this...but had no problems with the seat...it does look narrow...but my son sat in it just fine and never seemed at risk of sliding out (even when throwing a number of temper tantrums and throwing his weight around). The five point harness seat belt was barely used because the pieces were hard to keep together...they come apart so you could choose to use a 3 or 5 point harness...but to use the 5 point you have to put the pieces together each time which can be difficult when you are trying to place a rambunctious two year old in the stroller...but the 3 point buckle worked just fine! The stroller back easily reclines and goes back up and my son slept in the stroller for hours at a time with no problem. Only downside in my opinion is that my son will likely grow out of this stroller very soon and he is only 2 years old (but like I said he is big for his age..he wears size 4T and is about 40lbs 38" in height) the stroller would be fine even if he was heavier, but length wise his feet were sitting on the foot rest and when stretched out sleeping his feet went beyond the foot rest ( I attached a picture so you could see how he fits lengthwise), but I guess this stroller wouldnt be as compact or light weight if it was made to fit older taller children. Also im not sure if they have a child snack trey that is compatable with this stroller...but if they do that would have come in very handy! I would definitely recomend this stroller for traveling!!! I used the back pack to carry it at the start of our trip but soon realized it was even easier to just fold and carry by the strap that you pull on to fold the stroller. If needing to carry the stroller for a long period of time the backpack is great...but for getting on and off busses...lifting it by the folding strap was easiest because once you fold it there is a little lever that keeps it locked in that position...so you can just grab the strap and carry it without having to worry about it unfolding! Stroller was very light and compact...even my 10 year old carried the stroller with no problem! I would definitely recomend this stroller...especially for traveling!
