Kolcraft Contours Lite Stroller Plus ZL006

Date Published: 6/7/07

Kolcraft has hit one out of the park with the Contours Lite Stroller Plus ZL006. This lightweight travel stroller has it all: chic style, convenience and plenty of comfort features.

For about the cost of a basic travel stroller, the Contours Lite Stroller Plus offers many of the conveniences of a full-sized stroller. Plus, it has something gadget -- and music -- lovers will applaud: an iPod dock (also called iBaby Dok) with a built-in speaker that accommodates either an iPod or an iPod Mini. We love the idea of take-along entertainment!

In addition, the Kolcraft Contours Lite Stroller Plus has a surprisingly large canopy. We really like this canopy because it provides plenty of coverage from sun and wind. Equally large underseat storage provides a roomy spot to store a purse or diaper bag. This is important, because having roomy storage means you won't be tempted to hang a diaper bag from the stroller handles and risk tipping the stroller.

We like the stroller's multi-position reclining seat. Plus, the seat is topped with a soft micro fleece and comfortable padding. The Contours Lite Stroller Plus has a five-point harness that can convert to a three-point harness, and best of all, the harness is height adjustable for a customized fit. The stroller's large wheels -- 6 inches on front and 8 inches on back -- make it easy to steer over a variety of terrains.

Despite its size, the Kolcraft Contours Lite Stroller Plus is lightweight and easily portable. It has a one-hand trigger fold and it's equally simple to unfold. We like the cup holder for parents, and there is a child snack tray with drink holder. The Kolcraft Contours Lite Stroller Plus is brimming with features and convenience items and gets high marks.


Pros: Large canopy, iPod dock, easy to steer, large storage
Cons: No parent tray



Warranty
1 year, limited
