This stroller caught my eye with its look at first. And even if it's not a luxury, expensive model, it doesn't feel cheap at all. We don't have it long, but I must say, I am more or less happy with this choice. I searched for long for something that would interest me in terms of functionality and design as well, and I think this one meets quite a few of my criteria. Firstly, it is very spacious. The seat offers a full recline - and you can also adjust the leg rest. The hood is huge - it will cover the child fully, no problem, and it is extendable. I also appreciate the viewing window in it because it allows me to see my child. The fully extended hood has these mesh side vents, which helps in the summer days for the child not to be all sweaty. Also, there's UV protection in the hood.
You cannot adjust the handlebar height, but the angle of it is nice and works fine for me as well as for my husband (he is 20 cm taller than me). There is a parent tray for 2 drinks and a central box for bits and pieces on the handle. The basket is spacious, sturdy, and it is open. The stroller's frame is sturdy as well, but the Litetrax is still lightweight and easily maneuverable even with one hand. The fold is also easy, with the seat part being ion the outer side when folded, and it is compact. The folded stroller stands by itself, which is nice since the fabrics don't get dirty like this. The bumper bar can be removed, and the harness feels sturdy in my hand. The seat itself is large, spacious, and it feels comfortable. The child has a lot of space in it. The wheels are equipped with suspension, but on uneven terrain, you can feel them "jumping around" - they maneuver worse then, and they also may squeak from time to time. Only the rain cover is included - anything else (a mommy bag, a footmuff, a leg cover) are to be bought separately. No matter if Joie or some universally fitting brand, such accessories fit nicely in there. I tried multiple strollers in this price category, and I can honestly recommend the Litetrax 4 to other moms.
