I was browsing my Craigslist, I really should not be but....

I saw this! For $50!

She moved here from Europe and brought it with her 6 years ago. I have been looking for a reversible all terrain and was thinking of buying a Queen B, this is perfect.

The fabric looks awesome and all but the handbreak was in perfect condition. I removed the handbreak too, it looked clunky.



Thought my fellow stroller enthusiasts would share my joy!

My husband thinks I am nuts, esp since he came home to find me slung underneath this giant stroller removing screws and springs. :rotflmao:

Thanks! Where are your Queen B pics and review? :)

You should post some here so we can compare the reversible Prams.

I just happen to have some pics. ;) Both DD & DS fit really well in the seat. I love that it has a bar recline, goes totally flat and sits very upright. Folds with the seat in either direction. The suspension is superior to every other AT I've had, IMO-- including BOB or MB. It is soo bouncy & easy to push, glides over bumps, grass, mulch, etc. Turning is another story, since I'm use to 3-wheelers that turn on a dime it took practice. You have to push down on the handlebar when making turns-- not necessarily to pop a wheelie, but it help put the weight on the back wheels and make the front ones pivot more easily. And it's heavy, around 30 lbs. and awkward to lift. But I wanted a reversible AT for walks and it's perfect for that.

Yes the turning will take some getting used to. Pivot versus swiveling.

I am hoping the ride is MB compareable on the Quinny too! I really started to hate taking the Vista on our sidewalks. Hoping this is a nice replacement.

Love that Bumbleride canopy though, might need to add an aftermarket sunshade to ours. Super cute baby, stroller (metal basket is lovely), and your pretty tweet bag!

Glad you are liking your Vista replacement too. Did you sell yet?

That is awesome that I have the same stroller you did Strollerqueen. Love that.

The seat is nice and roomy, which works well for my 36lb toddler. It has a wonderful push!

No, I'm going to hold on to it for a little bit longer for indoor use. It's still an awesome shopping stroller. What other stroller can you put a jumbo box of wipes in, and holds all but the largest Target/grocery store purchases? Well, the Queen B probably could, but it would be a little bit harder to manuever in Target or the mall. :)


Adorable! :paci::paci::paci:

Thanks, I think so too! :D
