A friend is seriously considering this stroller - anyone who got the great deal a few weeks ago care to give their thoughts? She has a bad back & needs to exercise (walk) with stroller.
Thanks!

I purchased the Kelty stoller during the deal (got it for $150, did not get the lower deal price). They still have it for $150 on the Kelty site here (http://www.kelty.com/showproduct.aspx?ProductID=230&SEName=speedster-swivel-deluxe-2010) . I have never had an air tire stroller before and love the push (DS loves the stroller too :)). I don't think I would be the best person to review it, since I don't have a lot of other strollers to compare it to (just a Cypex onyx and BJCMicro and use to have and evenflo). Baby gizmo has a video review that your friend may find helpful here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0H_l4-xLP4)... The only comment I have is that the yellow clips that the reviewer mention in the video link as being "difficult", are difficult IMO too (they may get easier with time). Will your friend be keeping the stroller in her car, or a garage? It is a decent amount of stroller to haul in and out of a car if your friend has a bad back (at least compared to my other strollers).
Hopefully someone more eloquent then me will chime in ;).


ETA: I will add that I am not keeping the stroller (will sell locally), but it is not because their is anything wrong with it. I have recently (last few days) come to the conclusion that I am want an air tire stroller with an even easier fold (I blame the BJCMicro's easy fold for influencing my decision :p). That and I need some more of the trunk of my car back.
