All young parents-to-be or people who know a bit about strollers would probably think of the same thing – durability, low price and a unique combination of features. And these things make it worthwhile of reviewing.

A detailed list of standard features on all Kolcraft umbrella strollers

• Front swivel wheels; fixed wheels can be seen as a disadvantage because swivel wheels are important for greater maneuverability. So, now you can conquer busy malls with ease!

• Compact fold; as you expect from these types of strollers.

• JPMA certified (JPMA stands for Juvenile Products Manufacture Association). It is a national trade organization representing 95 percent of the prenatal to preschool industry.
