Ok, I know that there have been tons of stroller threads but I was hoping for some opinions. DH really likes this Graco Cleo, it is a compact stroller and accepts the Safeseat (also the Keyfit but there is a matching Safeseat, not real improtant but they both seem like good carseats). My problems with it are:
1. We havn't seen a real one, just the info online. I would really like to test one out first.
2. I have only found 1 random review on it. The review was mixed but that was just 1 complete strangers opinion (and not a professional).

It sounds like a good stroller but what do you ladies think about buying something online that I don't know a whole lot about? I hate buying things online for that reason. It is a little pricey but FIL is buying it and he is the one that suggested it instead of the travel system we said we wanted (he wasn't being at all pushy, just making a suggestion since the travel system reviews all say they are bulky.) I am tempted just to go for it since everyone has such completely different opinions of good strollers.

oops, I meant it accepts the snugride not keyfit (must be stuck in my head from somewhere. See how confusing this all is!) Anyway, I can't figure out how to edit.

For me, I'd like to see it up close and give it a 'test drive' before buying it. I'd find a store first that would carry it. I don't know much about that stroller...sorry.

I've never seen that in any of the stores I've been too. I would also want to check it out in person. I was totally set on a different Graco travel system I found online. Then when I checked it out in person I found a few faults with it. Hope you find something that works for you guys!

Yep, I'd call around & see if you can find one to 'test drive'
Let us know what you think if you see one in person!

I like the look of it, but I agree w/the other ladies about trying it out first. There are things that you can only really tell in person that were important to me like:

height- I am tall & don't want to be hunched over the stroller
wheels-hate the loud, plastic-y ones. I like the quieter rubber, but it's hard to see in a pic
how the recline works, basket, sunshade etc.

However if their return policy is good, and you like the looks of it, then go for it!! Good luck!!!

I would suggest going to www.babybargain.com and clicking on the message board and then going to the stroller section. Those ladies over there have great reviews and can even let you know where you might be able to find the stroller in the stores. I agree that seeing it is always better. Maybe you can even find an older model to get the same idea.
