I went to check this stroller out at a store. The canopies were EXTREMELY lopsided when open-almost a 45 degree angle. Is this the norm?

no, mine were a bit stiff at first but aren't lopsided. They do move independently from each other, and can be in completely different positions.

The backs of the Bob strollers are not completely upright but I have never found that to be a problem. I wouldn't trade my single or double for any other jogging stroller.

Mine was not askew. I don't believe that to be "normal". The rear door, unlike the rest of the mailbox, is very lightweight and could get off center very easily. If it will not operate properly, and not easily fixed, I would return it.

I would not consider this strollers compact in it's opened or closed form. It's quite large.

The handle bar tilts up or down. I am short and it is the most comfortable height I have ever had for a stroller. And when my husband, who is tall uses the stroller he can tilt the handle bar up and it's a perfect height for him. I love that feature! I do not have any complaints about this stroller in any way! It was a great purchase!

Sorry to be first getting back to you now. I recently had a baby (hence the double stroller) and am first really emerging from the fog.My 2 and half year old is about 34-35 lbs and he loves the stroller. I know what other people have said about it being too small but my son loves it. He thinks it looks like a spaceship "pod" and likes for us to "blast-off!" together.My only complaint with the stoller so far is that it hard to hear my older son who sits in the front as we are strolling. He feels "far away". It is also difficult to get in and out of elevators and certain doors. We live in the city so this might be a problem specific to urbanites like myself.Hope this is helpful, if not too late! Sorry to be first getting back to you now.

View from the front is fine if they are laying down. Back mesh provides a nice view. I have a 6 pound Coton du Tuliers and she loves the stroller! I also have a 15 pound Schnoodle who enjoys riding when I will let her in it! Hope this helps.

Let me try to remember, there should be a red tab on the side of the stroller (where the handle meets the frame), pull it upward. The stroller folds straight down. If it doesn't work just comment back and I'll go look at my stroller.

Hello. I had an umbrella stroller that had a very small umbrella so it didnt work well. It was very flimsy. I also tried it on my double stroller with a bigger umbrella so it worked better. I think it works best if your stroller has a really big umbrella already. The ray shade just overlaps it and sort of extends itself over the umbrella. Hope this helps. Anne

Although there is a slight recline while it is up all the way, that doesn't sound right. I agree with contacting Britax.

I agree with Dave's answer. I left ours on the deck one hot afternoon all crisscrossed and some of the sections were always crooked after that. but never twisted like yours. same kreepy since 1997.

I have a question.. We have the Indigo stroller.. but I want to buy an umbrella stroller because we can't lug the Indigo on the subway at all. The Indigo has a sunshade but it might as well not even be there.. the sun is always in my daughter's face and it is really bugging her. Do either one of these models have a sunshade that actually works? I think that is what will sway my decision the most. Also, the recline - how much do they actually recline? What would you say is the earliest a child will be OK to use these strollers?

Yes, we HAD this stroller. Save yourself a great deal of frustration and return it now, it does not get better. We returned ours before the window of opprotuity passed. It was a great decsion! It's too bad because we loved everything else about the stroller. Looking to get the Thule stroller next.

Funny you should ask. Though I can't answer from personal experience, I recently bought the 60/40 because it is supposed to fit and we have another baby arriving soon. Ended up sending the stroller back because it was too awkward to open and close. May just use my Uppa Baby as our snap-in stroller until baby fits into a jogger. Sorry!

If I'm understanding you correctly the canopy does not pull down all the way forward to cover the front. I had to clip a small blanket to the canopy to cover the front, the sun and wind. It does give the best coverage of all the jogging strollers that I checked out. I have an issue with the sun but I go walking/jogging right when the sun is coming up because of the heat in Vegas in the summer. There also is a weather guard option that is available for this model.

No I have not had any issues like that. Perhaps you may want to check and make sure it is put together correctly. Or depending on the weight of the baby could be making it slant as well. Hope this helps a little.

Hello Monica, As you have probably read from other customer reviews, the sun shades in this stroller are pretty much useless. I guess putting a blanket on top cover the sun quite decently. I bought this item because my pettite wife could not handle a 40 lbs stroller so this was a perfect solution.
