Lila Modular Stroller

Overall, the Lila Modular Stroller System is a really great all-in-one product. While it doesn't quite beat out my current stroller system in overall ease and ride quality, it is definitely a formidable contender with some great features. Let's start with the pros. Aside from looking pretty sleek and feeling quite luxury (LOVE the leather accents on the handlebars), it's an added bonus that all the accessories are included and nothing is a la carte. Yes, that means that the stroller includes a bassinet mode (no separate bassinet needed to purchase and store), the car seat adapter, the snack tray, the cup holder, accessory pouch, boot tray, removable storage basket, etc etc. It's ALL included in the package! That's great since you are already spending a pretty penny for the stroller, you tend to feel a bit nickel and dimed when you find out that there are a hundred more dollars worth of accessories that you need to purchase to get the full use of the system. Not the case here! The price of the Lila includes everything you'll ever need so you really get the most bang for your buck. The bassinet mode is a breeze and SO so great that you don't need a whole separate bulky bassinet basket attachment for those newborn days. Just makes more sense this way! Every stroller brand should move towards this feature. Our current stroller brand bassinet (that we used for such a short time!) is just sitting in the garage collecting dust and taking up quite a bit of space. Great that there is no additional bassinet piece to store when the newborn days are done. And the newborn insert is extremely cushy, soft and made of ergonomic memory foam! My baby just turned 6 months old (on the smaller side) and we just stopped using the newborn insert. He was so comfy/cozy in there and would nap every time we took him out for a stroll in the Lila. Love the quality of the fabric and the softness of the memory foam padding. Favorite features are (1) the included accessory pouch - great for storing your phone, small wallet, sunglasses while on the go. (2) the right and left braking and brake release system and (3) the quality UPF 50+ canopy with included mesh shade for added bug guard protection and privacy. And now the cons. While the folding feature is truly a one-hand fold (very easy to do), when folded the footprint of the stroller is quite large. We drive a minivan so have plenty of trunk space for the Lila but I can't imagine that it would store very well in sedans or other vehicles without as much trunk space. It might take up the whole trunk which leaves no room for say, groceries. While the Lila features a one-handed folding feature, I could not say the same about the strolling. Yes, yes - we are not often strolling one handed but there are plenty of times when I am strolling through a door and need to open the door with one hand and push the stroller through with the other (right, moms?). My current stroller system does this move with ease. But I found that with the Lila, when trying to pull the same move, I needed both hands to properly drive the stroller through the door as it would not maneuver as well one-handed. This required me getting my leg or my bum involved to prop open the door and use both hands to push the stroller through. A small complaint, but just being honest here in my review. =) And lastly, the Lila wheels also could not handle any bit of terrain very well. I couldn't even get the stroller to roll over the tiny bump/lip of my garage. This was extremely annoying when strolling over uneven sidewalks around my neighborhood. The wheels would just completely jam up against the tiniest bump in the road which often startled the baby and also myself! A small curb or bump in the sidewalk felt like strolling into a brick wall. This does not and has not ever happened with my current stroller. We stroll the neighborhood everyday and never encountered as many issues trying to roll over the uneven roads and back into my garage when I'm done. This was definitely the biggest con for the Lila system in my book. So overall, this really is a great all-in-one system with some pretty sweet features. If i didn't have my current stroller brand to compare against, I probably would have given the stroller a higher rating overall. But in comparison to my current system, I would say the Lila is a really sexy-looking, formidable contender, but comes out just a little under in some places. I was given this Modular Stroller System to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel.

Just assembled it and it was super easy. I’m in love with all the features, the ease of use, and its maneuverability. I love that It allows for the seat to be converted into a bassinet and it comes with all the necessary accessories (unlike other brands that require you to purchase every little attachment separately). And it’s so beautiful! I highly recommend!

Its a good stroller. Its smooth, its pretty. But there are a number of issues. #1 The biggest issue is attaching the carseat to it. I have the Maxi Cosi Mico Max Plus and it is a PAINNNNN to clip the carseat onto the stroller. It should not be so complicated. Not to mention you need a whole other adapter for the carseat versus the bassinet. I once forgot the attachment at home and it was useless. I couldn’t use the stroller. I was VERY upset having to carry a heavy carseat through the hospital at 4 weeks postpartum. #2 It is a pain to REMOVE the carseat from the stroller. You have to click two buttons simultaneously, one on each side of the carseat, in order to detach it from the stroller. It is a very awkward way of trying to remove it, it sometimes gets stuck, and often times i worry I’m gonna drop my baby. #3 It only folds down which takes up the entire trunk space in my rav4.

We got the Lila stroller, car seat and duo seat system with our second child on the way and couldn’t be happier with it! With our first, we used a more basic, common brand car seat and stroller. This is a HUGE upgrade, and worth it – easy to push, simple braking system, quick fold, light. Stroller is easy to assemble and switch between the carriage and car seat. My husband is 6’5” and was pleasantly surprised with the extendable handle bar for the stroller. I’m also amazed that my 2.5-year-old likes the duo seat adapter – she can look forward and see what’s going on. It does not make the stroller too big to manage in a crowd like many other duo strollers. Finally, I was really impressed with all of the accessories that came with it (snack/drink holder, drink holder for parent, “stuff” holder for parent, bag underneath, rain cover) and the built in shade (sun & bugs) are huge upgrades that prevented me from needing to buy something else.

As a momma of a toddler and an infant, I'm always looking for a simple way to run about town. I was so excited when weeSpring Parent Panel sent my family this product to try. This stroller has all of the bells and whistles that you could want to make your strolling experience comfortable. The design is sleek and beautiful. I could easily insert the car seat for my infant. Also, it was simple for me to make the seat forward-facing or rear-facing for my toddler. I'm looking forward to the release of the attachment that will turn this product into a double stroller. This stroller comes fully loaded. The removable basket that fits perfectly underneath is a genius addition. And I love that it comes with a cup holder. However, all the bells and whistles make this stroller wide and heavy. I can easily and quickly fold it away with one hand, but there is no way I can pick it up without two.
