I was slightly weary of a few of the problems I read about in reviews on this stroller, but on the 2012 upgraded version, I think they did a great job at addressing these problems. I have 4 kids and the basket was very easy to stuff things in from the back or side. I put in my sons full size backpack with books and I still had room for more....not to mention the great storage bag that can be removed from the hood. Its very big...15 x 13. I added a parent organizer for $9 from diapers.com The brand in now called Dino, previously known as sunshine kids. These are so roomy.....I can fit anysize drink and then some.. I was worried the most that the full upright position would be too reclined as I saw in some videos and reviews. This was perfect and I had no problems with my 18 month old. I love how flat and compact this is. ...and if I have to take off the wheels to make it fit in our Mazda 5, then it is so easy to do so. This stroller is so easy to set up out of the box and use. My 11 year old daughter figured it out in less than 5 minutes. We couldnt find the instructions at the time and it was self explanatory. We tested the buckles, and even though it takes getting used to, it you have it at the right angle, it comes right out. My 11 year old tested this as well as had no problems. Theres a lot to love about this stroller and the price is right
