The company's first product was the Vista stroller, positioned as a mid-priced option between mass market brands and expensive imports.[3] Key features of their strollers include one-handed recline, adjustable handlebar heights, and large storage baskets. The aluminum frames are designed for a balance of weight and sturdiness.[4]
