The First Years Ignite Stroller, City Chic

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I purchased this stroller because we had to leave our "The First Years Jet" at home when I went to live with family while my husband was deployed. I absolutely loved the Jet, but I thought the Ignite would be slightly better (more comfortable ride etc.) because of the price difference/description.

Unfortunately, the canopy does not adjust (at all) like the one on the Jet version. The description should be changed because it states it has a "fully adjustable canopy"....unless you consider "fully adjustable" the fact that you can open and close it!

We have an extremely pale child, so it was one of the major selling points for me. Unfortunately, I do not have time to order the Jet and return the Ignite, so we will just have to improvise!

**Except for the canopy** the pros and cons here also describe "The First Years Jet" version we started with:



Pros:



- looks very nice and well built (the Khaki color is attractive and great for warmer/extremely sunny climates)



- is VERY easy to push and turns quickly

- +TALL HANDLES+ and great design keep me (5'7") my husband (5'10") and my father (6'1") from having to bend while walking or kick the wheels like in most small strollers!

- the *5-point* harness keeps my active little guy from trying to play with the wheels while moving like in other small strollers!

- the ride is nice for both child and parent

- the seat has more cushion (a bit more on Ignite than Jet). Other small inexpensive strollers usually just have a board on the bottom with some fabric over it.

- the recline is far enough back for sleeping/resting children.

- VERY easy to assemble...(maybe 5 minutes if you include the unwrapping time) just pop on the wheels and snap the canopy on, and you're good to go!

- super light and easy to fold/unfold and store.

- does not take up much space in the car.

- great price (Jet was about $20 less).

- nice little parent console - can hold some extra toys, snacks, etc.

- storage on bottom holds a small (size of a large purse) diaper bag and the ergo carrier easily.



Cons:



- Canopy does not adjust (on Ignite)

- Storage on bottom is not very easy to access due to the frame criss-cross in back so you have to get creative sometimes.
