I received this product to review in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.
I have a very active 2-year-old (I know surprised, right?) and she is not big into sitting in a stroller. I really needed a lightweight stroller for a cruise we were going on and for our future summer adventures so I turned to Kolcraft. What I love about Kolcraft is that they carry a little of everything as far as strollers go. Whether you need an Umbrella, Lightweight, Tandem or Jogging stroller, they have it and in fun styles to pick from.
When I thought about what I needed, I kept coming back to do i need an umbrella stroller? I decided on the New Kolcraft Cloud Umbrella Stroller which I had read about in the ultimate stroller guide because right in its description it says “The Cloud Umbrella Stroller gives Mom standard stroller features in the form of a travel-friendly umbrella stroller.” I was sold when I read travel-friendly. I wanted a stroller that was durable for our constant go-go-go in the summer, being able to drag it for traveling and still have some features a bigger stroller would have like a canopy and basket.
Features of the Kolcraft Cloud:
- Extended sun canopy that comes down for extra coverage (perfect too for when kids fall asleep in the stroller)
- Cool-Climate roll-up can be rolled up to create a headrest and allow air to circulate through the mesh on the hot summer days (or down if its chilly)
- Storage basket underneath (not big but enough for a few little essentials)
- 3-point safety harness to keep baby secure
- Simple 1-step fold for easy folding down
- Foam padded handles for easy steering
- Shock-absorbing front swivel wheels with locks
- Parent cup holder that snaps on or off
So what did I think of the Kolcraft Cloud? It is honestly the perfect little stroller for kids up to 40 lbs. This stroller took a beating with us traveling on our cruise (its been to 3 countries already!) but still looks new! It is not a big fancy stroller with all the bells and whistles but yet it still is perfect as an everyday stroller. What do I absolutely love about this stroller? How slim it gets folded up. This was a must for us on the cruise since all five of us were crammed in one tiny room. At home I love that it takes up virtually no space in my trunk!
At a price point of less than $50, this stroller is totally worth it and I’d recommend it to any mom. When I think of how many cheap umbrella strollers I had with my first son, I could have bought a handful of these Cloud strollers! This is one umbrella stroller that I can see lasting (well at least until my daughter outgrows it then we will pass it on!) Oh and I want to add to that my husband felt it was really nice to push. He loves the foam padding on the handles and said it was a good height, so its dad-approved too. Like I said, this is not a fancy stroller but it is one that will do the job wherever you go. The basket underneath is very small, but I fit some small things so do plan on carrying a backpack or diaper bag.
And here is the stroller all folded up:
BUY IT: Check out the Kolcraft Cloud Umbrella Stroller on Amazon.
Olivia Brown says
This Kolcraft Cloud Umbrella Stroller sounds absolutely amazing! As a parent of a busy toddler myself, I can totally relate to the struggle of finding a stroller that keeps up with our on-the-go lifestyle. The fact that Kolcraft offers a wide range of strollers for every need is impressive. The features of the Cloud stroller, like the extended sun canopy and cool-climate roll-up, make it perfect for unpredictable weather conditions. I also appreciate the attention to detail, such as the foam-padded handles and the 1-step fold, which adds to the overall convenience. It’s great to hear that the stroller has held up so well during your travels and that it takes up minimal space when folded. Plus, the affordable price point is definitely a bonus. Thank you for sharing your positive experience and recommendation with us. It’s reassuring to know that there’s a reliable and practical stroller option like the Kolcraft Cloud out there.
