I just watched the video you posted. that's a cool stroller. I like how the seat rotates around on a swivel for rear-facing. huge sun shade. good accessible basket. it's like the original peg skate, the way the seat turns into a bassinet. too bad you have to pull it apart into 2 pieces to fold, I'm not a fan of that. other than the fold, looks like a great stroller.

Thanks for replying. I love that swivel feature. Other strollers require you to physically remove the bassinet and turn it if you want the baby to face you. I am going to take a chance and order it. I will be sure to update you on it. The stroller cost under $300 but looks like a $600 stroller.

I called Learningcurve and they confirmed that the first wave stroller is indeed made in the usa. the first years other products are made in china.

I'm very happy with the Wave. I took a chance too and bought on a whim online back in April. As a newbie to strollers and most things baby, the function really appealed to me. We're not heavy stroller users so the Wave was an excellent choice as imho you get a lot of bang for the buck. Loved that baby could go directly in to the 1-piece bassinet/seat right from the start so I never used the carseat adaptors that's included. Actually have not used the swivel feature much as its always rear facing (can't bear to not see my little one!). I think ds wishes the seat was more upright but he's now sitting up on his own so it's much better than before.

I hope it works for you!

Hey thanks for posting your review. There was one review on amazon that said they were able to do something to it to make it more upright. But I am really excited about this stroller.

Me too but I could not find a retailer which carry it in their store. I just go on research reviews and intuition and I have a good feeling about the stroller. For me it was either get this one or the ICOO Pacific.

Just from what I see I would go with the Wave.
