The First Years Magna stroller is a lightweight stroller weighing only 17 pounds which is also ultra-easy to fold and unfold with one hand.
The seat reclines fully so your baby can lay down nearly flat when you are out, if they need a sleep.
The 5 point safety harness has extra thick padding which gices them a safe and comfortable ride.
The 4 wheels are held in place by sturdy, durable metal posts that will last for years and the independant wheel suspension will help to cushion the bumps.
The stroller folds with one hand and will stand straight. The handle rotates which means you can vary the height and push distance between you and the stroller so you can avoid clipping the rear or wheels with your feet, which is a problem in some others.
Ultimately, it gives a smooth ride, due to the suspension and the metal steering posts which help to make it a less bumpy ride.
A great lightweight stroller and for the price will only be beaten by other The First Years strollers!

The first years wave stroller is a new release for 2010 that the manufacturer is saying is ‘easier for you, more comfortable for your baby’.
Its easy to see why they would say this – the Wave Stroller has a unique swivel seat that has several functions;
First of all, it can change from a bassinet for your infant, into a toddler seat in a flash.
Also, with a quick twist on the handle you can then thurn the Wave into a forward facing stroller or back into a rear facing one as you please.
It comes with a universal adapter for infant car seats which means most of them will fit. The wheels at the back are larger than the front which gives it a “glide” feel when you are pushing it. Its quite effortless and will ensure a smooth ride over most surfaces.
This is another stroller to feature an adjustable handle, which means it is perfect for taller parents and for baby sitters or other family members that might be taking care of your infant. The sun canopy is fully adjustable and can even be removed. Finally, there is plenty of storage too; an upper console lets you keep a water bottle, keys, and purse close to you so they are within easy reach. The storage underneath is large and you can easily fit in a diaper bag and extra shopping or accessories you might need for a day out.
Please note: This stroller has been replaced by a newer model.
Product Features
- Durable modular Euro styled frame rated for use to 50 pounds
- Unique swivel seat, with a 5 point harness, quickly turns from rear to forward facing use
- Taller adjustable handle height
- Universal attachment for use with most infant car seats
- Easy one hand fold with seat removed, weighs 24 pounds
