Evenflo Victory Plus Compact Fold Jogging Stroller

Having read great reviews I purchased this stroller and was excited for my little one to use it for the next few years. Unfortunately it does not appear that it will happen. For the first 7 months it was fantastic. I was using it with the car seat, and that worked out wonderfully. The wheels are nice and big, and make for a super smooth ride. Also although a bit bulky, it is very easy to maneuver in the snow and rough terrain. Now that my little one has outgrown the car seat and is sitting in the stroller, he absolutely HATES it. He refuses to sit in this stroller, and cries for me to get him out from the moment I put him in it. I tried to figure out what was causing him to dislike it so much, and sure enough I did. Here are the issues: 1. The seat does not allow for him to sit up properly, and rhe shoulder straps are way too high and are not adjustable, forcing him to sit in a reclined position - not ideal when the baby is discovering the world around him and wants to lean forward to see everything. So I can see that being very frustrating for him. 2. The seat itself is on a weird angle/forward recline, which causes him to slide forward and the strap that goes over the crotch is the only thing keeping him from sliding off. I cannot imagine how uncomfortable this must be for him! 3. Perhaps the worst of all, is the metal bar that runs across the bottom of the seat, where the stroller folds - right about where his tailbone is, so when he sits in the stroller this bar digs into his lower back/tailbone, making it extremely uncomfortable and I suspect quite painful as he lifts his bum and pulls away from the seat the moment I put him in there. I bought a pretty basic Graco stroller 2nd hand for travel on an airplane a few months ago (before he grewout of the car seat), as I was worried that THIS nice stroller would get damaged, and wanted a cheap little stroller that I didn't care about if it got damaged during travel. Well, turns out that he LOVES this cheap stroller is the only stroller he will sit in without squirming or crying. It's quite unfortunate, as I had really high hopes for this stroller and it ended up as a massive disappointment and seemingly a wasteof money. I will try to salvage it by putting a thick foam chair pad or something of that nature) to try and minimize the effects of the protruding metal bar across the back, but I've not been able to find one that would work thus far. I'm quite surprised that no one mentioned this major design flaw with the metal bar, unless I got a defective stroller.

I bought this about 2 weeks ago and it’s a beautiful stroller, handles very nicely, easy to fold up and lightweight. Loses a star because the tires are super squeaky right off the bat, first time I took it out with partially wet pavement and it squeaks so bad it’s super annoying, hoping to wd40 or something to get rid of it but otherwise no issues

I’ve used the car seat for about a month and the stroller about three times now. The strollers front wheel has locked and won’t turn after only three uses. The car seat is difficult to click into both the base and the stroller. It doesn’t click into the stroller at all. The stroller itself folds really bulky. I’d avoid this set, you can find better sets at the same price point.

This product is exactly what we wanted. It will be great for my grandson for the next few years.

Best stroller if you live in the city + don't have a car. Wheels are smooth.
