Mia Moda Compagno Stroller

Mia Moda Compagno Stroller Review

Great Features, Not the Best Quality

"I bought this and the Joovy Ultralight. I debated for days between the 2 testing them constantly. I chose this one because the only thing better about Joovy was the weight and size. This has a lot better features, was more comfortable for my kids and they liked it better. It was a tough choice, but considering there are only 3 brands of strollers like this(Joovy, Baby Trend and Mia Moda) None of them really live up to my expectations. This stroller is a dream to push over uneven ground and has good storage. The adjustable handle is awesome and it has a good cup holder as well. The worst thing about this stroller is the canopy, cheap and small."

Mia Moda Compagno Stroller Review

Not Impressed at all!

"First off I will say this stroller seems like it is made well and all the parts seem high quality. That is about its only positive. First off it is very heavy, about 40lbs. Even my husband commented on its weight. Putting it together wasn't to hard but opening it and closing it were difficult, it almost felt like I was going to break it. It is definitely not a one handed close. Once I got it together I was shocked at the size of the seat for the older child. Even with the front seat fully up there is hardly any room for the older child to sit. To have the infant seat in you must recline it which pretty much leaves no space for the older child. So they would most likely have to stand all the time. The umbrella is a joke. It hardly covers the front seat and it also felt like it was going to break when I tried to move it. I would have ended up taking it off. The basket underneath was also a disappointment. It was very small and there was a bar that went across it right near the opening under the older child's seat which would cause problems when trying to get stuff in and out. Over all this stroller is a mess. I brought it back to the store and they let me return it even thought I had ordered it online which was great. We ended up getting the Baby Trend Sit and Stand LX which I must say is a million times better and a bit less expensive."

Mia Moda Compagno Stroller Review

Very sleek and stylish

"I have a very tall 2 1/2 year old and a newborn, this stroller is PERFECT!! I actually bought a double stroller first and it was a monster, so big, so cumbersome and my son was too big. The other sit and stand strollers also seemed too bulky, so I saw this and thought I'd give it a try..and I am soooo glad I did! I love it! It is sleeker and smaller than other sit and stand strollers, ride is smooth, turns easy, folds compact and even has extra handles to carry it, also stands on its own when folded. I Love the cup holders and trays, the storage is small, but believe me it seems that all the sit n stand strollers storage is small. Very sleek design. My son loves sitting and standing on it, can do it with ease, and has room for him! The seat has two positions and actually reclines far back. I put the stroller together in about 10 min. no tools needed. My husband even likes this stroller,he didn't want to get one because all the ones we saw in the store were so big, but he just loves this one. It is money well spent!!"

Mia Moda Compagno Stroller Review

Smooth ride but bulky

"I see now why this stroller is not the most popular. Yes, it has a smooth ride. It navigates smoothly around the tight aisles in stores, true. I like the adjustable handle. But the fold requires both hands--not one, as advertised--and is kind of awkward. You have to twist the handle and then reach over to the front seat, and this is quite a stretch for me at 5'1". I like the fabric, and it looks snazzy. I like the head bumper on the back of the parent tray, too, because it offers some support to the standing or sitting child, if you lurch forward. But the basket is WORTHLESS. First, it's small and the bar going across the middle makes is impossible to put a medium sized diaper bag inside; it seems designed for random, loose, smaller items, like blankets or cups. Also, I thought, from reading the description, that it would be a good idea to be able to access the basket by lifting up the seat, instead of via the sides, like the other brands. I was wrong. It is a big hassle to have to remove the older child to retrieve things--and it's impossible to get anything out from the sides, unless they're small and loose. Finally, and this is why I sort of regret the purchase, it's HUGE WHEN FOLDED, much bigger than my Duoglider, which it was meant to replace. [...] Again, I can see why it's not in the stores. It has bells and whistles, but some of the most important things like storage, ease of opening/closing, and easy storage are lacking. Oh, and it's HEAVY! 39 pounds!!!"

Mia Moda Compagno Stroller Review

Best Sit N Stand

"I test drove the Joovy Caboose and Ultralight models-the seats were cheaply covered and uncomfortable, and their little umbrella style stroller tires are ok at the mall, but if you plan on walking outside they give a very rough ride. The parent consoles are also useless and must be purchased separately. I also tried the much bulkier Baby Trend version. It was ok, but had no suspension. I also ordered (and returned) the new Joovy Ergo. It was a bumpy ride and cheaply made-with a very high price tag. I ended up purchasing a Mia Moda Compagno sight unseen. The compangno looks much more expensive than even the Ergo. It has nicer seat cushions (that were included), and includes a parent tray. It is one of the heavier sit n stands-but well built and pushes easily. Even with seat reclined, my son has enough room on the back seat. The back seat slides forward and is much larger than the other models. Also the basket is large and back seat flips up for easy access (or you can access it from the side). This is the only sit n stand that has any suspension to give a smoother ride for your children. Great stroller for the price."
