We were very fortunate to have received this stroller as baby shower gift from Estela's former boss(thank you mucho by the way). When we got this gift, we tore it open even though it was still around a month before Nathan would arrive. Putting the stroller together was a no brainer. There are few components that come in the box including an instructional dvd that shows off the versatility of this stroller. Most of it is constructed from thick aluminum that makes it very stable. It comes with a bassinet and seat fabric that is interchangeable on a rectangular frame. The seat pops off and the stroller folds up for easy storage. We ordered our custom colors in grey/beige. The manufacturer claims to have 32 different color combos and 4 different fabrics to choose from. I wouldn't doubt this, as I have seen this stroller all over in all sorts of colors.
I also think that it looks cool. I like the rigid lines and minimalistic appearance of it. The wheels in the front have adjustable shocks and the rear wheels are 12" rubber which make it easy to push around. The shocks help a lot. We've taken Nathan all over in this thing, over sand, concrete sidewalks, pot holes, and it rides pretty good. Nathan likes the seat to be tilted up a little. He's very curious and this position gives him a good view of his surroundings. You can tilt it up, down, and have it face the front or the back looking at you. Popping it off requires a quick simultaneous push of two buttons on each side of the frame and voila, the seat is off for quick storage. It has a brake lever conveniently located on the handle, and some storage underneath the seat. The size is pretty good, slightly larger then other Bugaboo models. It looks like we'll be able to use this for a while.
Overall, we are very happy with this stroller. The price would probably be the only downside to owning this thing. If we hadn't received this as a gift, I'm not sure if I would've compromised for a cheaper model.
We would recommend this stroller to everyone who is looking to buy a new stroller. If it's too pricey, hey, you can do what we did and put it on your baby shower wish list or you can always ask the grandparents. :P
