Dream Me Coast Stroller Rider Reviews Summary

Build Quality and Design

Pros:

• "Seems sturdy and safe and my toddler enjoys being able sit upright."
• "It is well built and as a 165 lb adult, I use it as a seat for ME to sit on when it is folded flat as a scooter."
• "It’s both lightweight and sturdy."
• "It's so light, I can push it with one hand."
• "This one is high enough for my 4ft, 40lb twins and the different bars allow for more security if needed."
• "It’s high up enough that he keeps his feet on the foot rest without dragging."
• "It’s lightweight and compact to take everywhere, we’ve even taken it on airplanes as a personal item and stored it under the seat!"

Cons:

• "The handle is a tiny bit wobbly but I can live with that as otherwise it is sturdy and well engineered."
• "I wish it was a little sturdy but again it’s for bigger toddlers so your child shouldn’t be like leaning over the side or falling asleep in this one."
• "The only downfall is that it is a MF to open and close."
• "Also the bar sways too much."
• "It’s not super sturdy, but I don't need it to be."
• "This is very sturdy and perfect for my thick two year old and even my almost 5 year old when they get too tired to walk."
• "It becomes top heavy with a larger squirming child in it so you can’t leave them unattended - I literally turned for two seconds to answer a question and - BOOM."

Portability and Storage

Pros:

• "It is small enough to go in the subway and busy trains."
• "Easily carried (while folded up) under one arm - could be secured additionally with an elastic strap or bungee cord as needed."
• "Very compact once folded."
• "It collapses down so small."
• "It does fit nicely in an overhead bin and I don't even have to fold it to put it in my trunk so it's very easy for a shopping trip or quick run."
• "Has a space underneath where a small canvas bag can be placed and secured with a carabiner or bungee cord for those odd picnic lunches."
• "Requires minimal trunk space - seriously the smallest folding stroller."

Cons:

• "The only thing I would change is the lack of storage to put anything."
• "You can't hang anything on it because it will fall over."
• "There’s no room for storing stuff BUT I managed to hang a small backpack, a small jacket and a small umbrella over the handles."
• "You don't have the ability to store anything underneath because it doesn't have a basket."
• "There is no storage on this which is fine."
• "I wish the canopy was included in this purchase for the cost though."
• "The only thing is, I wish all the accessories weren't sold separately, like the canopy and cup holders and such!"

Customer Service

• "Even better is the customer service of the team!"

• "I don't know what government entity to complain to about the obvious design flaws in this device, but they desperately need to recall this and design something that isn't a huge hazard."
• "Please find a way for me to return this item."
• "I would not fold, I am not able to use it at all the UPS guy will not take it and all Amazon return center would not accept it at all."

Usability and Maneuverability
