Kolcraft Contours Options 3 Wheeler Stroller Review and Giveaway!

I'm back again!

To celebrate Jackson's first birthday and the beginning of spring, here is a review on the Kolcraft Contours Options 3 Wheeler Stroller. One of my lucky followers will also get one of their own!

Michelle from Kolcraft is awesome and sent me the stroller for review purposes. First of all, I have got to tell you how much I LOVE the color! I am a HUGE fan of bright things so this stroller is right up my alley! The stroller that we received for review is the ruby one and it's just amazing!

I'm going to get my one Con of the stroller out of the way before I go on to tell you how much I like it:
The stroller is listed under the "Lightweight" section of the Kolcraft website but it is pretty bulky and heavy. It weighs 27 pounds! If it wasn't listed as a lightweight stroller I would have no problem with this, I just wasn't expecting it to be so big! It also takes up quite a bit of room in my big trunk:



Hello World:
Hi Mom!

It is really easy to switch the seat direction, you just pop the seat off, turn it around, and pop it back onto the stroller base.

Other reasons I love the Kolcraft Contours Options 3 Wheeler:
The basket is pretty roomy but not huge. It fits my Vera Bradley diaper bag just fine, along with some shopping bags but if I am using my Fleurville MotherShip diaper bag that day, the bag is pretty much the only thing that will fit in the basket.

The seat reclines and the foot rest is adjustable. Jackson is a very long baby so I'm going to have to put the foot rest down soon but so far it's been great.

There is a 5 Point Harness which is very important to me!

The stroller has a 40 pound weight limit so Jackson will get to use the stroller for a long time (he is between 19 and 20 pounds right now at 1 year old)

And again, I just have to mention how easy it is to push and steer the stroller and how pretty it is :)

The stroller is also very comfortable for Jackson, he is kind of a stroller snob but he likes this one and even falls asleep in it when we are out! (That is amazing because he usually only sleeps in his crib or car seat!

Here's a picture of Jackson enjoying his Contours Stroller:

    "Clean out the washing machine every so often. A build up forms from all the dirty things we put in there! I usually put vinegar and baking soda in a washer full of hot water and let it run once or twice. Michelle" from the "Cloth Diapering Advice: From you" blogpost
