Grand Touring Rock Star Baby Stroller

Date Published: 4/14/08

The Rock Star Baby Stroller, distributed by Grand Touring Baby, is one stylish ride. There's a lot to love about this stroller, but we'll start with its practical features: two front wheels that swivel so well we can navigate even the closest quarters with ease, along with two pneumatic rear wheels with air pumped tires that offer one of the smoothest rides on the planet.

The stroller's seat can be adjusted to lie flat, which is ideal for infants or sleeping babies. Alternatively, it can be placed in one of several reclining positions, and has a canopy that can be retracted. A height-adjustable handle makes the stroller a breeze to push, as does the stroller's lightweight aluminum frame. The Rock Star Baby Stroller also comes equipped with plenty of extras, including an air pump for its tires, a rain cover and even an adaptor for Graco's SnugRide Infant Car Seat that can be used to create a travel system.

We particularly like this stroller's reversible seat unit. The seat can either face forward or be positioned to face toward the parent pushing the stroller.

The Rock Star Baby Stroller lives up to its rock star roots, and its good looks are no exception. It is part of a baby gear line designed by artist and designer Tico Torres with ideas from rock star Jon Bon Jovi. It is available in four colors: black, grey, beige, and the recently introduced red.

Overall, the Rock Star Baby Stroller receives high marks for successfully blending safety, performance and red-hot looks.


Pros: Stroller seat can be positioned to face to the front or rear
Cons: A bit pricier than most strollers

Warranty
1 year, limited
