Our Stroller Review

We give this stroller a rating of 4 / 5 stars based on our 7 critierias of what makes a great stroller. Read on to see why this stroller will suit your lifestyle and see
what's included.

 

Travel convenience:  The Contours Options 3 Wheeler Stroller (27 lbs) is a version of the Bugaboo Cameleon (20 lbs) and the Quinny Buzz 2009 Three Wheel Stroller (26.4 lbs) but a lot less in price.  It has the same capability of reversible seat to face you or the view during a stroll in the park.  Just remove the seat and lock in back into the stroller the direction you would like it to be.

Unlike it's competitors, the Contours Options 3 Wheeler Stroller is a self standing fold.  Push the trigger to release the stroller and fold the stroller to stand on it's wheels so the seats won't get dirty from the ground.

Safety:  All the strollers reviewed on www.strollerlife.com have a 5-point height adjustable harness - the safest harness any stroller can have! And with one 8" front single swivel wheel and 12" rear never-flat wheels means you won't need to inflate the wheels or get stranded with a flat wheel. Although the Quinny Buzz 2009 Three Wheel Stroller rear wheels are of high-quality, you still have to inflate them yourselves intially and check them periodically to make sure they are not flat. But one thing to note is when wheels are air-filled they actually give the stroller a smoother ride over rocks and unpaved roads, so think about where you will be taking your stroller mostly.

Contours Strollers are all  (the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association), they certify strollers on their restraint system, brakes, leg openings, and locking mechanisms that prevent accidental folding, as well as for stability and the absence of sharp edges. The program is voluntary, and models from uncertified companies may be as safe as those from certified ones. You can visit their website www.jpma.org. Bugaboo strollers, Baby Jogger Strollers and Maclaren strollers are the other brands that are also certified.

Note that the front wheel does not lock so it's not a jogging stroller like the BOB Jogging Stroller, it's made to go indoors like a shopping mall or outdoors like a paved road.

Mobility:   The 8" front swivel wheel is great to use in the urban city because it's easy to turn.  The Contours Options 3 Wheeler Stroller is 26" wide compared to the Bugaboo Cameleon 23" width, so it's a great stroller to take to a grocery store without having to worry being in the way of other people.  Plus the larger 12" rear gives your stroller more stability during your walk. 

Although there are no suspension on the stroller's wheels, the unique floating seat has been designed with suspension to give your baby a comfortable ride. 

 

 

Durability:  Although the stroller is made of hard plastic, parents who have purchased theContours Options 3 Wheeler Stroller find it very sturdy.  It's not made to go on a dirt trail or be in perfect shape if you throw it down the stairs.  But if you use it frequently on paved roads or indoors it will last you for years to come - provided you make an effort to keep it in good shape.  The best material for a stroller is the aeronautical-quality aluminum frame forMaclaren Strollers, but for a fraction of the price theContours Options 3 Wheeler Stroller does not come with an aluminum frame otherwise the price would be doubled if not more.

 

 

What parents will love:  Parents are always happy when they find something that really works for them and the price is just right under their budget.  The stroller looks great, has lots of functions and has a great price to it - that is a great value product right there!  None of the other strollers that we review here even comes with a cup holder except for Contours Strollers.  Other expensive strollers like the Bugaboo have available cup holders that are purchased separately!

The basket underneath the stroller (10 lbs capacity) has lots of room to place your baby's essentials plus shopping storage you will need when you take it out to run errands.

Parents love to take their babies out to wherever they go really and it's great to know that there is an option to have them facing you or the world. When babies are asleep parents like to see how they are constantly doing, but when they are wide awake and ready to see what's going on just place the seat forward for them to get a panoramic view of the world.

As a safety precaution only use the reclined position until child can sit up unassisted. If you would like to use the Contours Options 3 Wheeler Stroller for your newborn baby just place your car seat on the stroller, the infant car seat attachment fits most car seat brands on the market.

What your baby will love:  Babies are all about comfort and Contours is a brand recognized to place that as a top priority for their products.  The infant head rest is made with soft micro fleece fabric protects the baby's head and the sunrider canopy adjusts in all directions to block the sun (harmful UV rays).  The belly bar is easily removed for easy access to your baby, but when you do use it rest assure that it is well padded for your baby's comfort.  And whether your baby is facing you or the world, seat fully reclines when your baby feels like they want to take a nap.

Another reason your baby will have a very comfortable ride isthe unique floating seat which has been designed with suspension to give your baby a comfortable ride.  The suspension allows your stroller to stay balanced if you go over uneven roads, thus giving your baby a smooth ride.

And when the sun is out, to protect your baby from harmful UV rays the sunrider canopy adjusts in all directions to block the sun.  It adjusts for you so you don't have to.  So your baby will be a happy one when they are comfortable in their seat enjoying the smooth ride in the cool shade.

 

 

What we don't love so much: Everything about this stroller has been great so far, the only complaint that parents have is that the Contours Options 3 Wheeler Stroller is hard to close and is bulky when it is closed up. Part of what makes a great stroller is the it's maneuverability and it's convenience when putting it away. Out of the two the Contours Options 3 Wheeler Stroller has got one right, which is a great stroller to take around the city but it is not the sleekest stroller to close. The main reason why that is so is because the stroller is made of hard plastic and not of an aluminum frame, but that is also why this stroller is a fraction of the price. If a more compact folded stroller is what you prefer more, the compact dimensions of the Contours 4 Wheeler Stroller is 21.5" H x 24" W x 28" D compared to the Contours Options 3 Wheeler Stroller's 24" H x 26" W x 29" D.

Another complaint that parents have is although the stroller has a reversible seat the problem is that they have to take the seat out and turn it around to make it reversible instead of just having a reversible handlebar. And again, for the fraction of the price there are some sacrifices. To have it all you can purchase a Bugaboo for a much higher price, but since the latest fad is to save some money with how the economy is going Contours strollers will definitely save you money and deliver basic functions and more.
