Features

The Contours Options 3 Wheeler Stroller comes with an adjustable canopy to protect the baby from the weather and will also allow the parents or the caretaker to keep an eye on the baby while out for a walk. The canopy also has a peek-in window that is also weather resistant. The height of the canopy is adjustable to accommodate the height of the child as they grow. The seats are reversible to face forward or towards the rear allowing the baby to see the world ahead or spend time making sure mom and dad are still in sight.

The stroller has a storage tray and cup holder attached to the handle and will accommodate two cups. There is a cup holder that will fit a sippy cup for baby. There is an under-the-seat storage large enough for a diaper bag, shopping bags, purse or backpack or for a sweater or jacket if changes in the weather are anticipated. There is enough clearance from the bottom of the storage bin to the ground to prevent the bin from dragging on the ground when filled with items.

The stroller will fold with one hand very easily with a trigger mechanism. The stroller also has a built-in stand for easy storage. The folded stroller is also compact enough to fit in a car or van for the family on the go. It also stores easily in a closet or the corner of the room when not in use.

Handles, Wheels and Brakes

The handle is high to better accommodate tall people, but it is not adjustable and the back wheel base is wider than most carriages, making pushing the stroller easy without kicking the back wheels while walking along. The back wheels are 12 inches in diameter and provide a very smooth ride no matter what the surface condition is.

The Contours Options 3 Wheel Design

Three-Wheel Design Allows For Easy Steering

The front wheel is 6 inches in diameter and swivels or it can lock in place to maneuver uneven surfaces. The wheels are solid rubber that will never flatten, though they will eventually wear out and need to be replaced.

It has a braking system that applies breaks to the back wheels with a step on the brake bar conveniently located between the back wheels. The brake will hold the stroller in place until the brake bar is released.

Storage

The Contours Options 3 Wheeler has a tray for the parents located on the handle that is a combination storage tray and 2 cup holders. The storage tray is ideal for keys, wallet, identification, glasses, nose wipes, change for the ice cream man or a favorite candy bar or two. The cup holders will support hot or cold beverages and keep them within reach of the person pushing the stroller.

There is a sippy cup holder for the baby that will hold the cup securely in place and prevent it from falling over or out of the stroller all together.

There is also a storage bin under the seat that will fit a diaper bag, shopping bags, backpack or even a sweater or jacket and maybe a change of footwear. The storage bin is made from durable material and strong enough to hold up to 8 to 10 pounds of contents without compromising the bin. The storage is high enough off the ground; it will not drag or otherwise damage the bottom of the bin or its contents.

Seats

Reversible Seat

Reversible Seat with Adjustable Canopy w/Peek-In Window

The seat is adjustable to face forward or backward to better accommodate the baby as they develop and grow. The stroller includes an attachment for an infant’s car seat that will fit most major brands of car seats that can be easily attached to the frame. There is a removable head rest made from soft, baby friendly fleece to better support a new born.

The stroller seat also features a five-point safety harness that is adjustable to keep the child snug and secure while riding in the stroller. The backrest of the seat reclines to 3 different positions including a reclining position to allow the baby to nap comfortably. This allows the baby who cannot sit up on their own to ride in comfort.

Pros

The Contours Options 3 Wheeler Stroller is great value for the price and works just as well as its higher priced counter parts. It is easy to assemble and all assembly can be completed with just a screwdriver. It can be assembled in less than 30 minutes. The front and rear facing option is a bonus for most parents and the generous-sized storage bin keeps parents from carrying shoulder bags all the time.

Parents find they can go to the grocery store to get a few items and maneuver the stroller through the store and check out easily while using the storage bin for the groceries. It helps running errands very easy and convenient.

Even though the stroller was not designed as a jogging stroller, parents find this stroller to be a great jogging stroller. The front wheel keeps it stable and the bi-directional wheel will negotiate almost any surface without a problem. Parents find they can jog on grass as well as on pavement with the same efficiency and ease.

The trigger fold mechanism allows the parents to fold the stroller while holding the baby. That is one of the most convenient and useful features parents find with the stroller.

Cons

Because the wheels are solid rubber and not air filled, the wheels will not climb a curb higher than an inch. That sometimes makes it difficult when wheeling along a surface that is not flat or when uneven curbs are encountered. The Contours Options took a big hit in the adjustable handle department. An adjustable handle is essential to make sure the parents can push the stroller comfortably.

Parents would like to see locks for the back wheels to keep the stroller in place while sitting in the park or relaxing in the back yard. It can sometimes be held stable by turning the front wheel 90 degrees and locking it in place, but parents would like to see the same ability for the back wheels.

The stroller does not fold with the seat facing the rear position. That means switching the seat every time the stroller will be folded up, but the good news is that the seat unfastens very quickly and easily.

Once the stroller is folded, the wheels are locked in place which means to move it to its final storage place means lifting it into place rather than being able to roll it into place.

Consumer Reviews and Ratings

It is made from durable and sturdy materials that hold up well, even under everyday use. The material is easy to keep clean and can be accomplished with warm water and soap. The seat is roomy enough for a growing child, and the harness keeps the baby securely in place so the baby does not slide around when out for a walk.

The one thing that would make the parent tray even better is if it had a top on the tray to keep contents more secure. However, the tray is quite functional without a cover.
