Thule Shine baby stroller, Full-size stroller features, Compact and lightweight design, Reversible seat, Spacious storage basket, Adjustable leg rest, Easy one-hand fold

I finally pulled the trigger and purchased it and it was so worth it! The basket is a great size and my toddler looks comfortable while sitting on it. He can easily climb in and out of the seat. My 7-month-old also looks comfortable in the seat. Highly recommend this for a midsize stroller!

First time mom and I spent a long time reviewing which stroller we wanted. I read the negative reviews of this stroller, but I really liked the look of it and the one-handed fold, and just hoped I would love it. I also purchased the bassinet, which arrived first. Based on the quality of the bassinet, I thought the stroller itself would be comparable. There are a few good things about it: it’s better looking than most strollers (including Nuna/Uppababy/bugaboo in my opinion), technically does have a one hand fold, and it’s fairly lightweight. However, there were a few things we couldn’t get past given the price. First, the seat and bassinet attachment both rock back and forth on the stroller. I feel this is okay for the seat (maybe it helps absorb shock/bumps), but wasn’t comfortable with the bassinet potentially rocking and tilting downwards, thus not providing a completely flat, non-inclined surface for a newborn. Secondly, to recline the seat, you push/hold the button on the back of the seat and it clicks into its different positions. I had to hold the safety bar at the same time as the seat to recline it smoothly, otherwise the seat was getting stuck in certain positions. Finally, the one-handed fold was not really one-handed. To fold the handlebar down, you have to push two buttons (the right button and middle button on handlebar simultaneously). Unfortunately, the middle button is also how you extend the telescoping handle to make it taller/shorter, so if you hold on too long to the middle button while folding, you end up extending the telescoping handlebar at the same time, which then makes it impossible to clamp the stroller shut into the folded position. I had to crouch down multiple times to push the handlebar back into its lowest setting in order to get it completely folded, because the handlebar keeps extending just as the top of the bar is hitting the ground as you’re folding. Finally, to unfold you really need the front wheels to be in their locked position, otherwise there’s no stability for pulling up on the stroller frame and the front wheels end up going under the stroller while the handlebar falls away from you. Having to lock the front wheels to unfold means you need to move around to the front of the stroller, bend down and click both locks with your hand (they’re not accessible with your foot) and then go back to the back of the stroller and unfold, which would be really difficult to do while holding a baby if you ever needed to. Not to mention, once baby’s in, you’d have to stoop down again to unlock the front wheels. This was too much of a work-out for me at 6m pregnant, so it didn’t seem like it’d be very much fun to deal with once baby is actually here, so I’m returning. It was cute looking though.

I gave it four stars because I find it slightly awkward. Like the wheel base is too long. But also as you can see, the bars is right up to my baby’s face. She’s 8 mins old. I really wish they made a cup/tray accessory. Also a bucket seat would have been way better.So I just brought it to the store, after practicing opening and closing it at home. In the parking lot it totally refused to open. The lock was unlocked. I have no idea what was wrong. I tried for ten minutes. Even watched the video again. Ruined my day. Had to leave. Now I’m home again and it still won’t open. I’m probably sending it back.

(UPDATE)My stroller after 4 months doesnt close and the seat lock is broken. This is not my main stroller so we domt use it daily. We contacted the company and they stated this model is the older version so it is not warranty. This is crazy for the price. I was told you can just buy the new pieces.First reviewThis stroller is a bit costly but worth it. I love the extra long shade that covers the stroller. It comes with a bonus rain shield not tested yet. Easy gliding with one hand control. Ability to lay flat. One hand folding easy to do with holding baby in other hand. Little heavy.

Ok, when I saw the whoopping price of this one-i had to compare it with other similar strollers. Here it goes.Pros:1) It has an amazing deep hood. It comes down all the way to the badle in front of the baby, and is great at covering from the sun(on top of providing UV protection per the listing). It also proved to be waterproof even without the raincover-I was stuck in a nasty rain in the middle of a zoo trip, I was soaken wet down to undergarments, ended up ankle deep in the water, but the baby was dry under the hood.2) it's a one hand fold. And either hand for that matter-so if you're left handed you can still fold it just as easily.3) the basket is nice. It's not as big as it looks, but what I likes is it's easily accessible. You don't have to sig through your stuff- you can reach from both sides. Makes it great on the go.4) I love the extra storage net on the back of the stroller.5) it is easy to clean. Tried with the worst trial possible-had a big blowout. It was everywhere waist down. Nasty nasty amounts. I was able to clean it all up in a bathroom with some wipes and paper towels, and with a little bit of cleaning spray it ALL CAME OFF. no smell. I don't think another stroller would have survived an attack like that6) versatile. You can install the seat both front facing or rear facing. From what I understand you can also purchase additional compatible parts like a car seat and a pram(bassinet like piece).7) the angle. This is the only stroller i know that's not a pram that reclines into an almost flat seat. Makes it usable for even small babies that aren't able to sit up yetCons:1) wheels. They're simply average. The roll well on regular roads but it's nearly impossible to push through even short grass(tried during festivals)2) folding. I mentions that it's a one hand fold-when it works. More times than I care for the stroller was stuck after putting the back of the seat down and wouldn't fold any further. I still don't know what is the problem. I end up fully unfolding again, and then folding. One time I was stuck in the rain for 5(!) Minutes battling the darn thing. That really dampened my love for it (pun intended!!)3) hood. The size is great as mentioned above, but the rim ends up being deformed from being folded, and it doesn't have a peek window when half folded and zipped. Although this whole point is minor.4) folded size. It's not super compact when folded. Wheels are bulky and the whole stroller takes up half my trunk. It's better than a pram that folds, but it's not superior to any other average stroller.5)price. No comments here. This is just too much.Overall, it's a very nice stroller. Even with all the cons I love it and use it every day. However, I honestly do not think it is worth the price. The pros are minor conveniences and the cons lower the quality of it. Bottom line it makes for a slightly better than average stroller of the same kind(talking about versatile-folding strollers). I would not recommend buying it and would advise looking into similar options.
