Grand Touring Esprit Candy Stroller 360958

Date Published: 6/4/07

The Grand Touring Esprit Candy Stroller 360958 looks like a million, but costs far less. Selling for less than $140, this lightweight stroller comes in two colors: black or red. The Grand Touring Baby line of strollers and prams gets its "rock star" look from two well-known rockers -- Jon Bon Jovi and Tico Torres -- who have lent their names and preferences to the baby gear designs.

Don't worry -- the Esprit Candy Stroller is more than a pretty face. It is a comfortable, chic stroller with plenty of convenience features for parent and child. We like the stroller's adjustable footrest, which provides a customized and sturdy place for a child to prop his or her tootsies. There's a large underseat storage basket that we find easy to access and ample enough to store a diaper bag and various shopping bags. We particularly like the stroller's one-hand recline mechanism. Not only is it easy to use, but it also reclines smoothly. So smoothly in fact, that we were able to recline the seat without waking a sleeping child. That, my friends, is worth its weight in gold (or rock star guitar picks).

As we expected, the Esprit Candy Stroller has a five-point harness. Unlike some harnesses found on lightweight strollers, however, the Esprit Candy Stroller has an easy-to-use buckle system that doesn't pinch or poke in all the wrong places. There are four double wheels, and the front wheels swivel to provide a smooth ride over a variety of terrains. If we could change anything, we'd increase the diameter of the wheels and make the stroller's handles height adjustable.


Pros: Smoothly reclining seat, price
Cons: Handles aren't height adjustable
