@@Twahboxx808 having had it a year now, I think the Mockingbird is by far the best value full-size stroller… I don’t see anything on a different full-sized stroller I would rather have. My favorite parts are the east fold, big mesh zipper area to see them while front-facing, and east recline adjustment. My only thing is this is HEAVY and big (like all full sized strollers), so it’s a bit of a pain to get down our porch steps and into the car… and it takes up a lot of trunk space. Personally, I think the Minu or new Nuna TRVL are probably the best one-and-done strollers, but you will miss some of the full-size comforts like easy reclining.

Thank you for sharing your honest review. I hate the canopy situation you described. And my husband and I are taller. So this one’s out. Sooo good to know. Thanks!

Before I bought it, I made sure it had an adjustable handlebar. And I thought oh it does, great! And a lot of strollers have the same type of swivel handlebar which is FINE if that dang brake bar wasn't there. I think extendable handlebars are always the safest bet for us tall people because they allow you more stride room. Good luck on your search!

I also has the exact same issue with the sun canopy I was constantly adjusting it because it fell down. I wish this video was made before I went through the trouble of figuring it out myself but glad it will help others in the future.

If you're interested in the uppababy, i found a used cruz on marketplace for $375 and it is in great condition.

I’ve been using the mockingbird stroller for eight months now and overall I’m very happy with it. I understand her biggest issue is that it’s not best for her height. With that being the case I would probably sell it too but as far as the shade, the canopy does have a zipper that goes all across where you can have a bigger opening other than the peek window. Also the basket has a side pocket where you can put the magnetic shade so it doesn’t feel like you have to carry it around all the time and it doesn’t take up any space from the basket. I agree the the canopy is a bit short but in my experience it hasn’t really been an issue. Loved the video, very honest. Just thought I could tell my experience in case anyone it helps anyone decide on their future stroller. 😊

Hey everyone! A few updates from 2022: When watching this video, please keep in mind this review was made in 2020, and Mockingbird has made some adjustments to their strollers since then. I've heard they now offer an extended canopy. (Mine did unzip into a peekaboo window, but it did not extend the canopy). Also, they are now apparently sold in some Targets. I haven't seen any on display in my local store, but you could probably find one if you wanted to try in store. For me, the bar between the back wheels was a non-negotiable issue, but a couple of tall people have commented on this video and said they didn't have the same issue, so perhaps the problem with the bar comes down to a variety of factors i.e. height, stride, activity.

My canopy has never collapsed like yours shown in the vid, that’s so weird and I can understand why that would be frustrating, heck irritating. I just went to the Omaha Zoo over the weekend and was able to finally try out the sun shade and loved it for what it does, but was annoyed that I had to loop the little elastics on the sides. But loved that it kept my son shaded and when he was napping gave him privacy. I’m only 5’7” so I can’t say anything about the brake bar but that it can get stuck trying to turn the brake off some times but not enough to make me get rid of it.

Great Review!! I’ve been on the fence about this stroller vs another one. And honestly all the reviews are so positive but I’m talk to and I use my stroller a ton, so cost or not I want a reliable durable stroller that will be comfortable for me and baby.

Glad I could help! I've seen some women say their husbands are tall and have no issue with it, but for me it all comes down to stride. If you're casually pushing it around a store, stopping and going, it may not bother you....but if you're using the stroller for an actual walk and you have a longer stride, i think the bar would be an issue.

Thank you, that was helpful!

I've seen some women say their tall husbands have no issue with it, but I think it comes down to stride. If you're casually pushing it around a store, maybe the handlebar and crossbar wouldn't be an issue. However if someone is really walking with it and has a long stride, I find it hard to believe they wouldn't kick the crossbar.

I know some people who are tall claim that they have no issue with it. For me, it was a huge problem. I think it really depends on how much use you are getting out of it and what kind of walks you are taking. For me, I go on long walks every day with my son and I have a long stride. Mockingbird would've never worked long term for me...but for people just casually strolling around the store or whatever, it might be fine.

Is there a stroller that is a super smooth ride without being a jogger that’s infant seat compatible you would recommend for me? I love to stroller walk - mostly sidewalks and parks - daily.

I just tried my mocking bird stroller out today for the first time and I hate it! I have the double seats and the babies are definitely on top of each other. It’s not the most comfortable either, and can’t even run over the tiniest bump on a side walk. It just completely stops!! I’m thinking of doing a review myself.

@kaylabuasod

3 жыл бұрын

I'm sorry to hear that! I had my issues with it, but at the end of the day, I still think it is a good stroller for some families. I was never impressed by the double stroller though considering the fact your toddler can only face backwards if you have a car seat on top. I don't think most toddlers want to stare at the back of a car seat... Hopefully if you really hate it, you can return it!! And yeah you should consider a review. Sometimes I feel like mine is the only critical one on youtube and everyone else just thinks the stroller is gold. I sometimes wondered if I was too picky!

You should check out the Agio Z4 made by Peg Perego!!! We love it, it has the best canopy out there, telescoping handlebars, and was made in Italy so engineered for cobblestone streets and rough terrain. We love it. This is not sponsored at all I am just a big fan girl that thinks this deserves more hype than the uppa. Also has the smartest single-to-double design out there if that’s something you are looking for as well

This was an old model of the mockingbird. When the canopy unzipped, it expanded just barely to provide a peek through window. It didn't provide any substantial coverage. I believe they've updated the canopy situation since this video was posted 3 years ago.

you mentioned that it was not sold in any stores, but Target does carry it now :)

Mine is on order, set to arrive in 2-3 weeks. My husband is 6”7 😓 so now im nervous, but he’s never complained with the brake bar on our Chico bravo so 🤞🏻 this one is ok. We got the single to double, is that what yours is?

Nope, mine was the single stroller. And don't worry about the brake bar yet! I think the issue with the bar has a lot to do with stride. My husband didn't have a huge issue with it, but I noticed it a lot more because I used the stroller a lot more often and for longer walks. I hope it works out for you guys! If not, mockingbird has that 30 day return policy!

No, but I've heard good things. This video was filmed awhile ago so I've already gotten a used uppababy cruz

Thank you for the honest review! I too am skeptical about the lack of negative reviews. I see negative reviews for the vista or bugaboo strollers, and those are top end brands. Anyways, I agree its a beautiful stroller very sleek, but it does have operational problems that are hard to ignore. The handle bar just seems so flimsy when its set in its tallest position, and its hard to tilt back. Also, there is a lot of plastic at major connections, which to me is a big quality concern. I ultimately decided to go with the uppababy vista because the quality is unmatched. Plus the resale value is high because it's a stiller that truly lasts for years. This mockingbird shure is $350 but it probably can get maybe 2-3 kids from 6 months to non stroller age. The Vista can work for 2-3 different families and still funtion well.

When I actually did some digging, I found negative reviews on Google specifically that mention the same faults I pointed out. Mockingbird can be good for a certain kind of family, but I'm more like you. I want longevity. Buying a stroller was stressful for me because I knew I would use it a lot, so I don't want to go through the process again for the next kid. This thing needs to last. I'm not sure if you saw my other video but I did end up buying a used uppababy cruz. I kind of wish I got the Vista, but the cruz has been so nice as well. And I am the second family! And you're right I could probably sell it when I am done (if I wasn't so clumsy and constantly scratching the thing)

Oooooo nooooowwww I am looking for baby stroller, and yours review was the best and I decided to ask which one you bought but it was just 23 hours added:((((((. I was actually looking for bassinet for that stroller. Did you like agio 4?

I have the Vista Uppa baby but paid the hefty tag

They upgraded the canopy !!! If that helps 1 flaw down
