Reviews of the Mia Moda Cielo Evolution Compact Stroller

Real Reviews Submitted by Real Users!

We bought this stroller (well, an earlier version) for a trip to visit family, but we wound up using it all the time.  It folds easily into the size of a big briefcase.  Its integrated handle makes it very portable and if you're carrying several things it's much easier to carry than an umbrella stroller.  It fits into the carry-on bins of all the airplanes I've flown on, although I'm not sure it would fit into every airplane's.

Our first one lasted two years, but we let our son climb all over it way too often, and it was too much for it.  That one's wheels would stick and not turn freely, but Mia Moda's customer service was great and they sent us replacement wheels - no questions asked.  This newer model has some improvements over the last one - they've added better wheels, a cup holder attachment, a zipper to provide easy access to the bag, snaps to hold the bag onto the stroller bar, and a deeper recline.

I'm actually somewhat surprised you don't see more of these strollers out and about.  I always get lots of compliments when I'm using ours, but I don't think I've seen any other ones.

This stroller is great - in fact, I think it's one of my top five favorite baby purchases!  I just can't say enough good things about it.  I wanted a stroller that would be big enough that my child would be comfortable sitting in it for a long time, but small enough so it would fit into my car.  This one is easy to fold, and it turns into about the same size as a medium suitcase.  We have a Mazda5, and we store our stroller in the area between the passenger seat and the rear-facing infant seat.  Unlike umbrella strollers, this one has a cup holder.  It has decent-sized storage (which you can remove and take with you if you leave your stroller unattended) and an adequate canopy.  I'm tall, and its height works well for tall people like me.  Operating the buckle is a snap, but in my opinion its steering is one of the stroller's best features.  It corners like a dream, even using one hand.  I'm able to hold my 3 year old's hand and push the stroller at the same time.  Its only disadvantage is its minimal recline, so I wouldn't recommend it for a newborn.  But, I LOVE this stroller!

This stroller was nice but it wasn't what I wanted.  It was easy to close it, but I was scared to push hard to make it click, which is something you need to do.  I also didn't like that there weren't any sides to protect your baby from the sun or wind - it was too open.  I also would have liked a see-through window on the shade.  I sent mine back and got a refund pretty quickly.

We've had this stroller for two years and we're still pleased.  It's easy to steer and it rolls very smoothly.  It's not as bulky as some other strollers when it's folded, although you wouldn't call it lightweight.  Folding and unfolding it can take a while to figure out, but it's very easy once you get the hang of it.  You can put a lot of stuff in the mesh at the back and there's a zipper that makes it easy to get to.  It's cute and very convenient.
