I would have paid much, much more to get a stroller this amazing

My wife & I were looking for something smaller to tote our daughter (8mos.) in lieu of our current large, bulky travel stroller. After some diligent research, and a Consumer Reports best buy rating, we settled on the Contours-Lite Stroller Tangelo (I'll have a Tangelo smoothie please). Several reviews on the web address particular cons they found with the stroller the primary ones we found were:
No parent tray - We try not to carry unnecessary crap or clutter, there is a cup holder for the parents, and ample storage below the seating area (holds our well stocked diaper bag, my wife's purse, and other small items). Actually no top tray, is no problem for us.
Seat adjustment - The seat can be positioned from almost a 90 degree sitting, to flat out - allowing a baby or toddler to lay down. The seat is adjusted using a strap that's very easy to use and adjust. As easy or easier that the click positions on our Chicco travel stroller.
Child Tray - Some parents complained the tray is too high for their kids. AS mentioned earlier, our daughter is 8 mos., and the tray is a little high for her, but we bought this stroller expecting her to grow into it, and using it for a while, versus one of the smaller cheapy travel strollers.
The Sun Shade - the sun shade provides fairly ample coverage.
Wal-Mart had the cheapest price (at the time we ordered), and shipping was pretty good. The stroller assembly was straight forward and I had it assembled in 15-20 mins. It is light, easy to open, and close. This stroller is by no means as small, or as light as the umbrella strollers, but that's not what we were looking for (though much lighter and smaller than our travel stroller). If you are looking for a light, easy to assemble, easy open & close stroller, with ample storage, easy roll, stroller, that will fit your baby, infant or toddler as they grow buy this one.I love this stroller! I bought it to use with my third child in 4 years and I have tried many strollers (10 or so) over the years. I am very picky about my strollers! I love the way it looks, to start. It glides really easily and fits nicely in stores. It folds very easily and is surprisingly lightweight for how sturdy it is. The basket is very large for a stroller like this and is so easily accessible from the front and the back. A rare find! My daughter is very comfortable in it. The snack tray is decent size and the child cup holder is deep enough that it can hold a sippy cup or a paci without tipping out all the time. The only minor downside is that the fully upright position for the seat is not quite as fully upright as I wish but this is really not a big deal since it is just slightly less than fully upright. I did buy one of the attachable parent cup/item holders that velcros on appeared on amazon as a "commonly bought with" item for a few dollars and am very glad I did. I almost never take the time to write reviews (see above 3 children in 4 years, time is valuable :-)) but I have had this stroller for 3 months and love it so much I wanted share how great it is!! I would have paid much, much more to get a stroller this amazing...and at the sale price that it is right now (same as when I bought it) this is almost too good of a deal to be true. My mom is ordering one to keep at her house for when she watches my nephew. Excellent product.
