My 2 year old won't ride in his stroller anymore. He received the Whisper Ride for his 1st birthday. At this point, when we go on outings, whether it is a walk to the neighborhood supermarket/park/library or a day trip to the zoo his Blue Car is his preferred mode of  transportation. I get so many smiles from people who see him riding in it. My diaper tote fits in the hood and the cup holders are great for drinks and snacks. The seat belt is essential. Assembly took me a while initially, but was easy overall. The only thing I would change about the design would be to add panniers or some other storage option for a lunch box and change of clothes. Then I wouldn't need to wear a backpack for longer outings. None of the cars on the market offer something like that, though, so I would say this is the best there is. I love the simple, sleek design.
