Just got this stroller today. Really impressed with the huge canopy that goes down to the child tray, deep parent cupholders, large basket, one touch brake, and suspension.Easy to fold - 3 steps - click button between parent cup holders, pull red strap above basket, push down on the handles. It's easier to stand the stroller up by itself folded if you lock the front wheels first, but you don't have to. The Inglesina Zippy is also this way.NOT easy to unfold - 5 steps - press the safety button, use your foot to step down on the lever above the brake, use your hand to press down on the side of the stroller on the left and right sides, push down on the bar between the parent cupholders. This will take some getting used to. Since I only plan to take this on all day trips, where I will not need to fold and unfold more than one time, I am okay with the tedious unfolding process. I would get really annoyed with it if this was my everyday stroller.The Cleo is very similar to the Inglesina Zippy as far as seat fabric and large canopy. The basket on the Cleo is bigger than on the Zippy, but the cross bar does get in the way a bit. The Zippy has this same problem. The Cleo only has a child tray, but the Zippy has a child tray and child bar. Both strollers have removable and washable seats, but the Zippy also allows you to remove the canopy to wash and the Cleo doesn't. The Cleo reclining mechanism feels cheap. It's just a strap and is a bit too reclined even when pushed up as far as possible. The Zippy reclining has a much easier to use lever that allows for 4 positions.The major difference between the Cleo and the Zippy is the folding and price. Zippy really does have a one step fold and unfold, except it's easier to fold if you lock the front wheels first. The Cleo is a 3 step fold and 5 step unfold. However, is this worth hundreds of dollars more?Some small surprises on the Cleo were the small zippered pouch in the canopy, 2 bottle holders and small velcroed pocket in the basket, and small pocket on the side of the seat for child to put small toys or tall sippy cups.Even though this is a umbrella fold type stroller, it's heavy enough to not tip over if you have a diaper bag hanging on the handle bars. Also, even with my long strides, I don't kick the back wheels of the stroller like with the Zippy.Update April 2010 - My two year old is getting too wide and tall for this stroller. I got a Baby Jogger City Elite instead and she is much happier.

I've owned this stroller for about 18 months now, and I am already trying to find a replacement. As all of the other reviews have stated, unfolding this thing is very cumbersome. Don't plan on trying to do it with a child in your arms - it takes 2 hands. The fabric is nice, but that is not enough to make me like this stroller. The basket on the bottom is large, but you can't even put a medium sized diaper bag in it because the top of the basket is blocked by two cross-bars that are part of the folding mechanism. Probably the thing that is ultimately making me replace this stroller is the fact that the back of the seat doesn't sit even remotely upright. My 23 month old has been straining for months to sit up straighter, but the seat back is always in a semi-reclined position. I've even called the 1-800 number for the manufacturer to find out if there was a way to fix this, but they said that it is just the way the seat is designed. I think that there are better strollers out there for equal or less money.

By A. McGhee
We went to a baby store close to our home in hopes of looking at two lightweight strollers that I wanted. They had neither. While I was there I saw a Graco Cleo. I hadn't come across it before then and it was definitely something I liked. I was looking for a stroller that was smaller than a full-size stroller, but didn't skimp on features. This stroller is it!Cupholders: There are two parent cupholders and two cupholders for the little one. The kid's tray comes off for easy washing.Basket size: This isn't the biggest basket I've ever seen, but it is a decent sized basket. At the back of the basket (the side closest to you) there are bottle pockets so you can reach in easily and pull out a bottle if you needed to.Canopy size: This was a huge plus for me. This canopy is much larger than most strollers this size. It's completely detachable. The back snaps to the back of the seat. It extends much farther than a lot of other canopies. The drawback with the canopy is instead of a peek-thru window, there's a peek-thru screen. Not a huge problem, but if it's winter, I'm assuming this will let a lot of cool/cold air right in the stroller.Fabric: The fabric is so much more plush than depicted. It's soft and cushy. It's really very nice.Adjustable handles: The handles don't adjust for your height, though I'm 5'0" and have no problem pushing, it's each individual handle that can adjust 360 degrees to find the best way for you to hold them.There's also a 3 and 5 point harness system which works like any other. The recline is very close to flat, though I wish it went down one inch farther. The seat does adjust downward to accomodate a toddler's legs, but does not adjust up to keep little baby legs in.The collapsing: Oh my gosh. When we pulled it out of the box and tried to open it, I thought it would be the end of that stroller. I didn't know if my husband was going to open the door and throw it or just open the door and leave. :) It was incredibly difficult to open. On the right side, there's a pin you press in and then pull up on the handles, causing the seat to open. On the inside of the bar, below that pin, there's another smaller pin that the sliding mechanism kept getting stuck on. It took us forever to figure out that was the problem and was insanely annoying...especially since I've yet to find the purpose to the second, smaller pin. After we figured out the opening and closing it did get much easier, but this is a multi-step process regardless. This is no one hand fold or a simple process. It requires several steps each way.Despite the horrendous design in opening and closing, I do love this stroller. It has so many options I was looking for and at a great price. Don't pay $150+ for this stroller. There are places on the great, vast world wide web that has this stroller for much cheaper, and at the time of this review, it was listed here at amazon for $99.99. For under a hundred dollars, it's so worth it. For the suggested retail value of $250...not on your life.
