Cosco Kids Simple Fold Compact Stroller, Organic Waves, Infant

By far the easiest stroller I've ever folded up! Didn't have to try hard to figure it out!!

I received this as a free product to test and review. Things I liked: This stroller was relatively light and was able to stand upright without support. It had a small footprint when closed. The directions for assembly and use were well-illustrated and well-written. The seat has a slight amount of padding, which made it comfortable for my daughter to sit in it. The canopy is nice and locks outward smoothly. Things I didn't like: While not complicated, opening and closing the stroller was frustrating. The frame seemed to "stick" each time I tried to close it, making it difficult to truly do so one-handed. I also found that opening the stroller to the locked-open position was tricky because I had to lift my foot pretty high to push on the mechanism. My daughter (who weighs roughly 35 pounds) sat in it for a test run through our local supermarket, and I found that steering her around was exhausting. The wheels have no texture and don't grip a smooth floor, so they don't roll well. I ended up sliding her sideways most of the time when going around a curve. The little padded bar across the front is simple to open and re-attach, but somewhat pointless as it wouldn't keep a child from slipping out the front, nor does it have any cupholders or the like. The mesh basket underneath could accommodate a purse, perhaps, but the cross braces of the frame would definitely get in the way. Overall, I was not very impressed with this stroller. The lack of maneuverability and the stiffness encountered when trying to open or close it more than offset the benefits of being lightweight and free-standing.

I have been using the Cosco Kids Compact Simple Fold Stroller for a few weeks and I am so happy. It's very spacious and fits my larger 3 year old with no problem. It can be difficult to find a stroller to comfortably fit taller children and this one does it! The stroller is essentially a 3 second, one hand fold. I can fold the stroller and put it in my trunk while wrangling my kids. It stores with minimal space in my garage. The stroller itself is easy to maneuver. There are two padded handles and a nice sun shade for the kiddos. There is a small basket for personal items at the bottom. The seat itself is nicely padded with an optional, easy to use recline. The design itself is simple and the fabric is easy to clean. I have a larger UppaBaby stroller and I prefer the Cosco stroller for going to the grocery store, mall, and running errands. Cosco sent me this free sample through the BzzAgent sampling program. Thank you Cosco!

Cosco sent me this stroller for free. This review is my true thoughts and feelings. It's not a bad travel stroller. The benefits are that the recline function is easy to use and when not in use it doesn't have a lot of slack that can make your child slouch. The basket is fairly decent size but there are metal bars blocking it so I'm not sure how much you can actually store in it. The canopy is nice and the wheels are easy to maneuver. I don't know that I would agree that it's super easy to close with one hand. You have to kick up the metal bars to start the process and if you're not wearing close toed shoes there's no way you're not stubbing your toe while trying. In addition once you've moved that bar it's still a challenge to get it compact enough for the lock to click into place.

We took this stroller on a test run to the zoo. It was comfortable for my 3 year old, but both his dad and I found the handles to be just a little "off" for our comfort when pushing. Additionally our son could pull himself and the seat almost all the way off if he forgot the straps were on and wanted to get out. My one year old daughter is still way too small for this stroller so the child needs to be of a certain size for this work—it's in between an umbrella stroller and a full-sized one. The material of the seat also feels like a magnet for stains. It was easy enough to push and definitely sturdy. For a lightweight option for a fickle toddler, it passes but I would definitely make sure this is ok for you and your child before investing. Disclosure: I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

Cosco kindly gave me this Simple Fold Compact Stroller for free so that I could review it. As soon as I took it out of the box I knew I would love it! It is so lightweight that I could carry it with one hand. That's a huge plus when wrangling a kid! It's similar to an umbrella stroller, but way more deluxe! It is roomy, sturdy and easy to push. I'm very appreciative of the storage underneath the stroller, as most of the time it is lacking. Not with the Simple Fold Compact Stroller, it has a nice little storage area. I could not find one thing I didn't like about this stroller.

This stroller is so easy to use! It glides easily along the sidewalk, street, and even in the grass. I love how easy it is to open and fold up. It fits nicely in my car without taking up too much space. The brakes are also very easy to engage and the handles are comfortable. My toddler says it's comfortable and rides so happily in it!

I received this as part of a promotion panel. Overall this stroller is cute and gender neutral but it missed the mark with ease of use. It was very hard to push even on a concrete sidewalk. The wheels would rub and click and seemed to bow out while pushing.(my child only weighs 22lbs) it was also very hard to get the latch to unlock or lock back on the side of the stroller and maybe used error but pulled up the handle to assist in folding and still quiet hard. The basket is very hard to get to and can't really hold much with the crossbars in the way. I'm generously giving it 3 stars and would prefer to use my jogging stroller or other lightweight stroller to this one. This is a stroller you wouldn't mind taking on vacation and either passing it on when your done or just to have on special occasions.

We had been using a bulkier convertible stroller for our toddler that we had had since she was a newborn. When she turned two, we traded it in for a cheapo umbrella stroller because we were sick and tired of lugging the huge thing around everywhere. The umbrella stroller was much lighter and easier to transport, but a huge pain. It was so tiny and flimsy that it was difficult to steer, had no storage, and was so short we had to reach down and stretch to push it. This simple fold stroller was EXACTLY what we needed instead. It is just as easy to fold as the umbrella stroller, fits compactly inside my sedan, and has every positive feature of our other stroller without any of the negatives. It feels and maneuvers so much better, and our daughter loves it. It has good storage for its size and assembled super easily out of the box. It will also make a perfect travel stroller. Overall, a great value and I would definitely recommend it. Disclosure: I received this for free in exchange for writing an honest review :)

The Cosco Kids™ Simple Fold Compact Stroller strikes the ideal balance between a full stroller and an umbrella stroller. It's a breeze to fold and unfold, comfortable for the child, and comes with a useful storage basket. I highly recommend this stroller to friends and family. It's a fantastic, versatile choice for parents.
