I ordered the Avio in light blue, sight unseen, based on its features, and purchasing it was definitely the right choice!For me, the "dealbreakers" for a stroller are: ease of fold, folded size, weight, recline, canopy, push, and handle height. The Avio met my criteria for all of these! The fold is one of the easiest out there once you've done it a few times -- if it doesn't get super easy/natural by the 10th time or so, it might be user error in putting it together or something. The fold is on par with the Baby Jogger City Mini: literally pushing a button and pulling up firmly on a handle to collapse the stroller into a nice, fairly compact standing package. I like that it locks automatically and the seat folds inward as well as in half, umbrella-style. The weight is not bad for a stroller with so many features; it's not going to be as light as a bare-bones umbrella stroller, but it's easy to lift and put into a car. The recline is great -- a lever recline vs. tugging on straps, and it goes pretty much flat for baby to nap. Canopy is huge, quiet, has a popout visor and a peek-a-boo window in back, and the push is excellent due to the ball bearings. The front wheels have the ability to lock straight (and arrive locked), but will turn on a dime when released; this stroller is pretty thin and has a tight turning radius. The handle height was the only thing concerning me: I'm a super petite mom so sometimes a non-adjustable handle isn't good, and this one seemed pretty high up in others' reviews. However, it feels just fine to me at 5'0". Love this stroller!! It works superbly as an every day use type of stroller, and I could see it being excellent for travel as well, if I purchase a bag for it. The easy fold and compactness of it rival other travel-friendly strollers, but this one has many features that are typically found on heavier strollers.I have owned/sold several strollers including a Bugaboo Bee and Phil and Teds Smart and this one beats them all.
9 of 9 people found the following review helpful.The Inglesina Avio Stroller is touted as 'the perfect stroller for on the go urbanites'. Translation - this stroller is best for strolling on sidewalks and smooth developed indoor or paved outdoor surfaces.Handling: What I have discovered is that the Inglesina Avio stroller is different than allot of less-expensive non-jogging strollers in that it's wheels actually have ball bearings. This gives the stroller the ability to roll very smoothly with hardly any vibration within the stroller seat, with minimal pushing. The wheels are fixed in position, so the turn radius is not that sharp - it will make a smooth turn however, within a 5 foot radius.Standing at 5'5", I am very conscience of handle placement. The Avio stroller's handle is in a position comfortable enough to hold, but I really wished the handle had an adjustment option.My husband however is nearly 6 foot tall and said "This stroller is perfect for dads who are 5'11" - 6'2", very smooth ride and will put the toddler to sleep on a rough night within 10 minutes". He experimented with the Avio while taking the evening walk when our son was over-tired and fighting sleep.Stowability: Let me say that I have owned at-least 5 strollers between the years 2003-2011, starting with my first child. 4 out of 5 had the capability to be folded for stowing. The latest being a Jeep Overland Limited Music on the Move Jogging Stroller.Of all the strollers I have owned, though, the Inglesina Avio Stroller is able to fold into the most space saving compact shape of all (I am not including those cheap umbrella strollers, that are a dime-a-dozen, in this category.).The mechanism to fold this stroller is great - It is reminiscent of a crossbow, when pulled back it creates tension and gathers enough backward force so you can lock it into place.Think of it like the pulling motion when starting a lawn mower, instead of a "pull cord", you are pulling a designated handle located on the back of the stroller.If you press down sternly on the middle of the main handle (the one you use to push the stroller) with one hand, and press the red button (to unlock) on the handle base, gently, yet firmly pull at an outward-upward motion - making sure that the harness or other parts of the stroller do not become entangled into the folding parts, it will fold very compactly.Seating: The stroller seat is washable. And very adjustable, with the harness straps position, and can recline to several lower positions, so that your child is comfortable - my son loved being able to lay down in the lowest position when he was tired.Storage: The included fabric under-stroller basket is very accommodating. I was able to fit 2 full fabric grocery bags in there, with no further adjustments. There is also a expandable drink holder located on the lower left back of the stroller frame - I really appreciate this placement. ( Most strollers with a drink holder place them above the child's seat area, which is totally illogical - what if there was a spill?).For Weather: The Avio hood is constructed to be very durable, I liked the surface area it covers, the bill (like on a baseball cap) is a great feature which is nice for keeping sun out of sensitive eyes. The included 'L'Inglesina Baby S.p.a' rain cover clips to the hood and bottom foot pad.The Inglesina Avio Stroller is a good fit for parents in search of a higher-end, stylish, non-jogging stroller, for either infant or toddler, with a host of options and great compact-ability, that can be used for around-the-town jaunts.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful.I've been using the bassinet & stroller seat with my baby thus far and REALLY like it--she's almost 3 months old and over 11 pounds. I had a list of criteria and this stroller met most. I was down to the Bugaboo (2 piece fold is not practical for me + too heavy), and the Uppababy Vista (wheelbase was too wide--I like to go everywhere with my baby & heavier than the Avio).PROS:-a one piece fold (so no removing the seat but obviously need to remove bassinet),-simple fold (click and pull!), folds upright (not touching floor which is critical to me in NYC!),-bassinet availability,- very good recline & sun canopy,-one piece handle for easy maneuvering on NYC streets (turns on a dime!),-narrow wheelbase (19.5" vs 26" for the Vista I think), good for 5'1" mom and 6'0" dad (although he sometimes kicks the bottom if he doesn't stand far enough).-Sleek lookCONS:-the handle height is not adjustable. The handle height turned out not to be an issue but it would be a plus.-seat does not turn to face me :( since my daughter is so curious it may not be an issue, it's more that I want to interact with her while we're walking. This is definitely an improvement I would look forward to. If the seat turned to face me, I would give this stroller 5 stars!Overall I have been using this stroller every day for almost 3 months and would buy it again!
