By B. ChaAmazing is all I can say. This stroller has gone through my 3 children and is still in great condition. Kelty has a lifetime warranty on all their products for the original purchaser. We even had ours repaired with no problem (ripstop fabric ripped), just call their number and they will give you a return number. All products being returned require a Return Authorization number. Service under their warranty is available to the original purchaser by returning the product to any authorized Kelty dealer or by contacting their customer service department at 1-866-349-7225 (1-866-FIX-PACK) for a Return Authorization number.
We used this constantly and replaced our other strollers. It is light and convienient, the bar folds down and the body area stays open so you can use the backpack part. I can't tell you how many people stopped me and asked me all kinds of questions on this stroller. They asked who makes it, how much does it cost and said it was the neatest stroller they have ever seen. It's smaller than other strollers out there and great for shopping in small places.
It is also very easy to wash. Because of the polyester ripstop fabric it dries very quickly. It's like very strong tent material. I put it in the tub and hosed it down one night. So nice! By the next morning, it was dry.
My only reserve would be the fact that when your child gets too tall, their feet touch the bottom part of the stroller and the fabric obstructs the wheels from their free movement. When my babies kept pressing down on the fabric (usually around 18 months of age), I would tilt the stroller up on the back wheels and pull it backwards like a cart. At a certain point, it gets harder to use because of this as the child gets heavier. However, if you have more than one child it is well worth it. The weight limit for a child is 45 lbs.

By WarrenThis stroller is amazing. We purchased it used when our daughter was 4 months old, and we've been using it ever since. The couple that we purchased it from used it everywhere, including Costa Rica. I can wear this for hours, and so can my wife. It is important the user understands how packs work (weight is on the hips, not shoulders), or it will be get very tiring. In stroller mode, it's obviously not as sturdy and smooth feeling as our Graco we own, but it has never been an issue (Although I bet it is more sturdy considering it's from a company that specializes in outdoor equipment). We prefer it because it is small, light, and can easily maneuver around tight areas. We also use it as a high chair when on the road. I would recommend the sun shade, as this proves very useful. The bug net I would pass on, as it only works in backpack mode and is difficult to put on. There are a few things I would improve on. For example, some sort of headrest or support, because she falls asleep and her head has nothing to rest against. This should be detachable, as not to increase the weight. We currently use a small camp pillow. Another thing would be a small folding tray that could be folded out in stroller mode so we could put Cheerios on it; again, removable for weight reasons. Bottom line though, our Graco is now collecting dust.
