The fabrics and finishes look and feel high-end, there’s a great canopy and the seat reclines all the way back. And it’s compatible with many popular infant car seats with the addition of adapters.
“A bassinet is a great option because it allows baby to continue to move freely on their stroller ride,” says English. “I also love bassinet stroller rides for newborns because it stimulates their visual and vestibular systems as they explore looking at trees, clouds or a mobile as their body moves in space. This is all great for their development.”
We also love all of the Em excesso accessories (which can be pricey to add on, but they’re worth it). It’s a bit heavy for me (mom) to get in and out of my SUV but not impossible. We have two toddlers but actually got the 4 seater and are so glad because they have more room plus space for our diaper bag and stuff.” — Brie

It has a true standing fold which is refreshing and the steering is as nimble as Rent strollers can be. I love the brakes and how upright the seat can get if needed, as well as the front access to the basket. Quality-wise, the Wayfinder is built to last. We have been getting out and exercising more as a family since we got it and I am looking forward to more adventures to come!” — strollingsodapops
The aluminum frame lightens the load—this stroller weighs about 13 pounds—and there’s a built-in shoulder strap for portability. I also appreciate the near-flat seat recline, a large, adjustable canopy and an XL storage basket.
