Our tester found the auto-lock somewhat confusing, and since the handlebar does not lock into its position when you push it to the side, it struck her leg when she tried to use it. She also believed that the handlebar was on the short side. This is especially true when a large changing bag is hanging from it.

The four tires made of rubber are ideal for pavements and urban terrain. However, they are not made for off-roading.
