Castle Toys Umbrella Doll Stroller

Fabulous to be able to find a blue stroller so that my son wouldn't have to push around a pink monstrosity. Everything I found locally was pink.This stroller has been very popular at our house. It was one of the most played with things at my son's second birthday party (by other boys). Of course this typically means random items like blocks or sippy cups are raced around the house in the stroller, versus a small cuddly animal or doll.One star is deducted for durability. A rip developed in the fabric the first day my son used this toy. This was hastened by the tot putting his toddler butt in the seat and trying to push himself around, but it still seems a little flimsy given that it's inevitable that toddlers are going to try sitting in this type of item at some point. Ripping the first time it happens does not seem right to me.

I bought this for my 15 month old a couple months ago, because all the other kids in our mommy boot camp class had them and she kept stealing everyone else's. Now when we go to the park, other kids try to use hers. It's hilarious how much she really loves this thing. She doesn't usually even want to put anything in it, but just push it around wherever we go. It's light weight and collapses easily to fit in the bottom of our actual stroller. It could probably even fit in a larger backpack. Best $15 bucks I ever spent!

Overall, I'm quite happy with the doll stroller. It looks just like the real thing and our kids enjoyed it enormously -- at least for the first few days, and then on and off since then. We've had it for about 2 months now. The frame is quite sturdy and I don't anticipate any issues with it. The fabric however is not quite as sturdy. One of our kids sat in the stroller (as a 2-yr-old is wont to do) and ripped the lower corner of the fabric. Some iron-on patch and a little sewing reinforced it well enough, but probably this weakest point should have been reinforced out of the box. The stroller is a bit of a pain to fold up, but that's of little concern unless you're transporting this frequently. My only other complaint is that I had so few color/fabric choices. The blue is fine, but a few options would be nice. I have no regrets about the purchase, and would recommend this stroller. It's a nice addition for pretend-play, especially if your child has reached that age where they're playing with dolls and trying to push their own stroller around.

I purchased this in December 2010 for my daughter's 2nd birthday. She loved it, played with it regularly and we liked that it looked like a real unbrella stroller. My reason for purchasing it was that it was a baby blue color, which is such a nice change from the overwhelming PINK in every single baby item. The blue color was terrific!Unfortunately the fabric in the seat never remained where it was meant to be... as soon as she lifted the doll out, the fabric came off the metal frame and I had to re-fasten it each and every time she played with it. That got old, fast! Eventually the fabric in that area weakened, so it started to tear away from the frame. I sewed it once, a few months after buying it but eventually we gave up and threw it away. It was a fun toy while it lasted, and made her 2nd birthday very special. If you are purchasing this for your little one, be sure that he or she is old enough to re-fasten the seat to the frame after each use, otherwise it will drive you nuts!So now we're approaching her 3rd birthday and I'm looking for a new doll stroller because this one didn't last the year.

This stroller is adorable, was perfect for my toddler grandson who is about to get a baby brother and loves playing with anything that has wheels. For Christmas we gave him a 13" baby boy doll and he spent the holidays wheeling it around the house in the stroller. It was a hit! It's easy to steer, lightweight, and looks just like an adult size version.

Very pleased with this item. Sturdy and holds up to the abuse my 2 and 3 year old boys give it. Was looking for a doll stroller for their babies - and everything was pink and covered in butterflies and cupcakes. I was happy to find one that was a little less girly (and I love that my boys care for and nurture their dolls, but the really girly strollers were just a little too much). They beat this thing up pushing around the house and patio. It's no worse for wear.Great price point, holding up well. Would purchase again.

We have a similar stroller in the house I bought for my kids 24 years ago at a local toy store. So this is what I'm comparing this stroller to. We didn't want my granddaughter breaking the old stroller because she is only 2 and tends to run into things and fill it up with things. The frame seems to be made very well, and shouldn't break. The one difference I did see is that the seat is very shallow compared to the old one. But it will hold a doll. The wheels turn and swivel very well. They don't make them like they use to, and not for the same price, but this stroller should last for at least a couple of grand kids. Folds up easily and is lightweight.

It seems solid. My 19 month old daughter certainly loves pushing it around. I love that it's not pink and is fairly plain. However, the folding mechanism seems like it's not going to last long. Basically there are these two plastic pieces that you have to snap in and out of place to unfold/ fold. Just seems like they are going to break soon. Another brand of stroller has a button mechanism that just seems better designed,
