Delta Simmons Onyx Stroller?

[smcdonald2]

Hi,
I'm new to this forum, but I wondered if anyone owns a Delta Simmons Onyx Stroller? I really love the Green Apple color...it reminds me of the UppaBaby Vista in Carlin. An Amazon reviewer says it will hold the Chicco Keyfit 30, which I also love. I guess I'm just skeptical because the price is so good. $130 at Meijer!

I guess my main question is, how does it handle? The wheels look small and I'm afraid it might be a bit bumpy on our sidewalks. Love any feedback I can get...

Thanks!

Here's the stroller I'm asking about, in case you want to see.

Looks like a quinny zapp knock-off. For just a little more $$ (like a few dollars) you can get the real thing:

But it has no recline. How about this one, looks like a better stroller overall and has a reversible seat:

I had this and while it can't fully compare to the uppa baby (because the rear wheels aren't true air tires, they are foam wheels), it has the reversible seat, can take a car seat on the frame, etc.

Yep, I've looked at the Kolcraft Contours, but it's just so heavy! My husband and I plan to have our kids about 3yrs apart, so I really don't want an expensive or bulky single stroller. Just something affordable, light and well-made I can use till I get my Joovy Ultralight. ;-)

I had not seen the Quinny Zapp before...hmmm...

With kids 3 years apart, you'll use a single a lot more than a double (since your first will probably graduate out of a stroller before your second is done riding, plus your first will be in preschool when the second comes along, and so on). That's a long time to put up with something that you hate - I'd suggest that you consider spending a few dollars more (not hundreds, maybe tens) if it means getting something that would work better and have better longevity.

OK, well...you've convinced me to spend a bit more. I can get the Baby Jogger City Mini (BJCM) for $169.95 on Amazon.
