Hot off the press: The I’coo Targo ships February 21st!
Want to be the “it” parent with something a little different while strolling down the street? Want something fresh and new with fantastic styling and outstanding performance and quality? Check out the new 2008 I’coo Targo!
Priced at $699, the Targo includes the chassis, stroller seat, bassinet attachment, universal infant seat adapter, and a free gift- Diapees & Wipees. It is so new, we are just getting it up on our website but check out the great video that the distributor made on our website. It shows the great features- our favorite is the reversible seat that actually also adjusts in height so you can raise up the seat and pull the stroller right up to a table in a restaurant for your baby.
The I’coo Targo comes from the great guys at Grand Touring Baby who have also brought us the ever popular Rock Star Baby Stroller. The Targo takes the great features of the RSB stroller and take it a notch up.
We are currently taking preorders for the I’coo Targo which is available in three colors: Mocha, Marine and Houndstooth. Word is the first container is selling fast so we suggest placing an order sooner than later if this is the one you want! We are really excited and can’t wait for it to arrive!

When it says “includes bassinet attachment”, does that mean the bassint must be purchased separately, or does the stroller seat convert to a bassinet? Hi Carrie- Sorry if my description was confusing. The bassinet is its own piece (separate from the seat itself) but it is included with the package at $699. Hope that helps- Erika

Thanks for the clarification!

Can you attach a ride-on board to the I’coo? If so, which one would you suggest? Thanks… Hi Cate- As of now, we don’t know of a ride-on board that will be compatible with the I’Coo Targo. I have an email into the distributor (www.gtbaby.com) and I am waiting to hear back. Thanks- Erika

What is the weight limit of this stroller? Hi Leanne- The weight limit for the Targo right now is 40 lbs. They will be testing it for 45 lbs. but for now it is 40 lbs. Hope that helps- Erika

hI I WAS WONDERING WHEN THE NEW ROCKSTAR BABY TARGO CITYSTROLLER WOULD BE AVAILABLE? AND WHERE I CAN BUY IT FROM ?PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP THANKS
Hi there- The I’coo Targo is not the same as the Rock Star Baby Stroller- they both come from the same distributor but they are different strollers. The RSB stroller is actually being phased out. The I’coo Targo is expected to debut here in the U.S. the second/third week of February. You can buy it right here at www.strollermama.com. Hope that helps- Erika
February 14th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
Hi, I was wondering if the Icoo targo fabric is washable and if they come with a raincover. Also if they will come out with more neutral colors like all black etc. Hi there- I actually do not know if fabric is machine washable. I will need to find that out from the distributor. The Targo does come with a raincover and there are no plans to add any new colors anytime soon. Hope that helps- Erika

Hi So, when does Targo arrive? Can you tell me how it compares with the new SKATE? I’m hoping it has the same functions but less weight. I have a compact car and am looking for ease of use as well as being able to turn baby either direction and raie the height. Thank you!
Hi Alexis- This question has been asked to me before and, unfortunately, I don’t have an answer for you since we don’t sell Peg and I haven’t had any hands on experience with the Skate. All I’ve heard through the grapevine about the Skate is that it is super heavy. The Targo does have a reversible seat and you can raise and lower it (and the bassinet, too). The weight according to the distributor is 22 lbs. We loved it when we saw it in September. The most updated ship date is February 21st. Hope that helps- Erika
February 16th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Is 22 lbs the seat + frame? Or is the frame 22 lbs itself?
When you saw it in September how was the quality of the fabric?
I can’t wait to see these!
Hi Susie- According to the manufacturer, the total weight (frame and seat) is 22 lbs. We thought the fabric was beautiful and the overall quality was excellent when we saw the stroller in September. I thin kit is going to be a huge hit! Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks- Erika
February 17th, 2008 at 2:13 am
Hi there!! I love the look of this stroller and can’t wait to get my hands on it! When you say it ships on February 21st, does that mean it leaves your doors on that day to get to your customers, or does it arrive to you on Feb 21? Did you see all the colors? Which one did you think looked the nicest?
Hi Jackie- Thanks for your post! We are excited to get it, too! As of Thursday, the manufacturer said they will be shipping the stroller out from their warehouse on 2/21. We did see all three colors at the ABC Expo in September. I really loved the Mocha but the guys distributing the stroller told us they got the most feedback on the Houndstooth! Let us know if you have any other questions! Thanks- Erika
February 17th, 2008 at 11:21 am
Aloha, Would you happen to know what Car seats are compatible with the new I’coo Targo. Mahalo, Malia Hi Malia- According to the distributor, it is a universal infant seat adapter so it should work with all U.S. car seats. If you have questions about a specific car seat, you can email the distributor, Grand Touring Baby at info@gtbaby.com. Hope that helps- Erika
February 24th, 2008 at 7:19 am
Hello! About a year and a half ago I found an amazing stroller online. It looked like a traditional pram, with four pneumatic tires that you could pick the design of, and had a rotating seat. At the time, I found it only online, and it was brand new from an Italian (I think) manufacturer. It wasn’t the Orbit stoller. Have you heard of it? Hi Julie- It sounds great but I haven’t heard of anything like it here in the U.S. Maybe it was a European stroller? If you find out, please let us know! Thanks- Erika
March 4th, 2008 at 3:31 am
Hi! Your site is terrific.
I love the look and functionality of the I’coo Targo (the video is very helpful). What are your views on the ease of folding, weight, maneuverability on city streets and comfort (for baby and mom) of the Mac Quest v. the I’coo? I’m looking to replace the infant seat/snug ride frame with a “real” stroller now that my baby is 7 mos old (but on the small side — 15 pounds) and more interested in looking around. Thanks!
Hi Jen- Thanks for your post. While I love both the Targo and Mac Quest, I think they are like apples and oranges. I have the Cameleon (similar to the Targo) and the Quest and use them both for different outings. I think my daughter (15 months old) is most comfortable in her Bugaboo. The seat is more generous and nice and high and she loves hanging on to her napper bar. I also use a Carry You Piccolo Snack Tray with the Cameleon so she can keep toys and snacks in there within her own reach. It is definitely her preferred ride. Sometimes it is more of a hassle for me- the two part fold and it takes up more room in my way back but once I have it opened, I love pushing it! I think the Targo will be very similar.
That being said, I also love my Mac Quest (I have the I Love You Lulu version!). It is super lightweight and folds up very small. I think my daughter is a little spoiled riding in her bigger stroller all of the time so she doesn’t like her Mac as much but I still use it alot- especially when I need to run quick errands. I keep both in my minivan. I’m not sure if that is helpful or not! Let me know if you have more questions. Thanks- Erika
March 5th, 2008 at 3:23 am
Does the I’Coo Targo have a travel bag for transporting the stroller? Also, how high does the adjustable seat go up to? I’m deciding between the Uppababy Vista and I’Coo Targo. What are the seat width for each and how do the fabrics compare (in texture and quality, not so much color). I love the Vista for it’s upright fold but the height adjustable seat is what I was looking for as well. Since I can’t see either products in person, your feedback is invaluable to my questions above and your overall impressions of the two strollers as compared with each other. Thanks! Mimi
Hi Mimi- I finally had a chance to get on my hands and knees with a tape measure at the store and here is what I came up with:
Seat width Targo: 11 inches
Seat width Vista: 11.5 inches
Seat height in highest position Targo: 23 inches from bottom of seat to the ground
Seat height in highest position Vista: 22 inches from bottom of seat to ground
The fabric on both strollers is both nice. I would not say one was nicer than the other. Also, we have yet to find out if the Targo fits in a travel bag. As soon as we find out, we’ll let you know. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Mimi. Erika
March 10th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
Anyone who received their i’coo Targo already have any feedback to share? Would love to hear it!!
Hi Michelle- I ditto your request. I hope to have a chance to play with the Targo later this week to share my own impressions but we love to hear from other parents! Thanks- Erika
March 11th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
I’ve had mine for the last week or so (Toronto, Canada) One word - Fantastic. Easiest fold out there, superlight, the bearings make the handling a breeze. Can’t say enough positive things. Only negative is if you were very tall, the handles may not be high enough.
March 12th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
I received my Targo last night. I absolutely love it! I chose the houndstooth and it’s beautiful. While I haven’t fully put it to the test yet (my due date is still a few weeks away) I am pleased with how smoothly it rides, how easy it is to operate, and just love the height adjustment for the seat and handle bars. The only drawback for me is the basket isn’t that big, but it’s got all the other important features to me that many of the other similar strollers didn’t.
Susie - did you fold the handle bar all the way up? It does go higher than you think because I’m pretty tall too.
Thanks for your post! Since the Targo is so new, this will be very helpful for other parents. Thanks for taking the time to do it! Erika
March 22nd, 2008 at 2:15 am
Hi…I was wondering if the Icoo targo has a cup holder. Also, is the cushion soft and comfortable for the baby? When looking at the Skate today, I felt like you could feel some “hardness” behind the cushion and wasn’t pleased with that. Do you seem to have plenty still in stock (I’m interested in the Mocho)? And how long does it take to ship and recieve a stroller when ordered? Thanks!
Hi Brandi- Thanks for your post. There are two cup holder options that we have that work with the Targo. First, you could get a Valco Universal Cup Holder. Second, you could get the Carry You Demi Milan. The seat on the Targo is very plush and comfortable and I don’t feel any “hardness” behind the cushion. I think is well padded and very comfortable for a child. Unfortunately, our first shipment of Mocha Targos is actually sold out right now. They went fast! We have a few Targos left from our first shipment in Marine and Houndstooth but should have Mochas shipping out again by mid-April. Hope that helps- Erika
March 24th, 2008 at 1:51 am
We just got our Targo from StrollerMama and took the stroller out today with the car seat attached.. it’s great. It turns on a dime, you can push it one handed, and really seems to handle the cracks and bumps of the city sidewalks with ease. Our baby fell asleep instantly! Sarah
Hi Sarah- Thanks so much for your feedback! I’m thrilled that you love your new Targo! Nothing is better than a sleeping baby. Enjoy! Erika
March 25th, 2008 at 4:37 am
Hi All!
I’m looking for a stroller similar to the Targo that doesn’t include the bassinet. I love the overall look (other than no basic black colour!) as well as the EVA tires. The idea of the seat lowering & raising is a fabulous invention!
Also, is this really as light weight as it sounds?
Thanks
Bronwynn
Hi Bronwynn- The Targo weight really seems to be what they say it is (I haven’t actually weighed it myself but it feels very light for a full service stroller). The Targo doesn’t actually come with a separate bassinet (like the RSB). It is similar to the Bugaboo where it comes with one seat frame and the fabrics to make it into a bassinet or seat. There are plans to offer it in all black possibly at the end of 2008. Hope that helps- Erika
March 26th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Hi, this targo stroller is of real interest to me, but one thing that bothers me is the look and quality of the wheels. Aren’t pumped wheels smoother? Aren’t the targo wheels too plasticy and junky looking? Can anyone that tried this stroller reply if the wheels aren’t too wobbly?
March 28th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
Hi! I’ve had my targo for almost two weeks now, love it, can’t say enough about it. Great design, easy to fold, easy to lift up into the trunk too. Fabric is high quality, the wheels are too, they’re solid rubber and don’t look cheap in person. It looks like a very expensive stroller, I even had one lady pull her car over to ask me what kind of stroller it was and where could she get one. It’s a great choice if you have a large baby like I do, the seat is a good size. Oh, and some people have mentioned they thought the handlebar wasn’t high enough, but I’m tall and usually in heels and it felt comfortable to me.
Hi Janine- Thanks so much for your review of the Targo. It will be helpful to parents considering this new stroller. Glad you love it! Erika
April 1st, 2008 at 5:20 am
I’m interested in the Targo but I’m concerned about the size, how does it compare to the Uppa Baby Vista? The Vista looked great online but when seen in person it was humongous, the Hummer of strollers if you will.
Hi there- The footprint of the I’coo Targo is definitely smaller than the Uppa Baby Vista. It is a very reasonable size and it is closer in size to the Bugaboo Cameleon. Hope that helps- Erika

A couple of weeks ago, at eight months pregnant, I chased a lady down the street to find out what stroller she was pushing and well, it was an I’coo Targo. I loved the look of it, I ended up purchasing the Mocha color. It was hard to find in stores, most retailers said they sold out pretty quickly, I know strollermama was out of the Mocha a little while ago too. Anyway, it’s a great choice if you’re looking for a bugaboo alternative, in fact, the seat is much larger and has more padding. It moves easily, folds great, no complaints from me at all. I don’t think the wheels look cheap either. It looks pretty stylish if you ask me.
Hi Christine- Thanks so much for your feedback! I thought I was the only one stalking other moms to see their strollers!
You are right about the Mocha- ours were pretty much sold out before they were even in stock! We have more on order and should have some when the next shipment comes in from the distributor. They are telling us mid-late April but you can still preorder one to reserve one from the next shipment since that one will go fast, too. Thanks- Erika

What carseats work with the Icoo and Bugaboo strollers? I am debating between the two strollers, but still need to register for a carseat on my baby registry. Also, I hear the Bugaboo is bulky and takes up a lot of space in the trunk. Is that the same for the Icoo? Which is easier for folding/unfolding? Thanks!
Hi Brandi- The Bugaboo Cameleon/Frog can take the Graco, Peg or Maxi Cosi infant seats and the Bee can take the Graco infant seat (adapter bar is a separate accessory). The I’coo Targo comes with a universal adapter that works with almost all U.S. infant seats. The Targo is easier to fold and it has the advantage of folding with the seat on (facing forward) whereas you always need to take the seat off of the Bugaboo to fold it (which makes for more bulk in the trunk). If I had to pick between the two, it would be a tough choice! Erika
April 7th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Hi, I’m due the first week of July and I am now trying to decide between the Cameleon, the Targo and the Quinny Buzz. Which one would you recommend the most (i.e., would buy for yourself? Why? Thanks!
Hi Chris- All three strollers are great so it really comes down to your personal preference. I use the Bugaboo Cameleon and I really love it. My daughter is now 16 months and it is her favorite ride. I do think taking the seat off to fold it can be a pain sometimes and it takes up more room in the back of my minivan broken down like that. But, I often quickly forget that once I’m out strolling with it because it pushes like a dream and my daughter is a happy rider. I also like that you can change the fabric colors- I started with orange/gray, switched to pink/gray and now I am all denim!
The Buzz is nice and folds with the seat on (facing foward) but it is a bit heavier than the Cameleon and the seat and canopy are smaller. It also does not take a ride on board which I use with the Cameleon with my four year old. The colors are fun and the Dreami bassinet is one of the nicest on the market.
The Targo has some wonderful features. It raises up and down which is a feature I long for on my Bug. The canopy is generous and the seat is plush and comfortable. You can also fold it with the seat on (facing forward). The only thing I personally don’t love about the Targo are the colors but that is just my style!
You won’t go wrong with any of the three. I would definitely suggest trying to find them locally to test drive to see which one is the best fit for you. Then, check back with us with more questions! Best of luck! Erika
April 16th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Hi, how do you compare suspension in the wheels between the Cameleon and the Targo?
April 20th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
Did you find out if the Targo has a travel bag? Thanks so much! Hi Kym- We have not found a travel bag yet for the Targo. We are still looking! Erika
April 24th, 2008 at 2:29 am
Will the Mocha Icoo be available to be shipped by the end of April for sure? Should I have been on a waiting list? I just recently saw it in person and decided this is the stroller I want, but I am needing it soon. When do you expect to have them shipped out by?
April 28th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
Can you please tell me if the i’coo targo stroller is compatible with the baby orbit car seat? Hi Katie- No, the Orbit Baby infant seat is only compatible with the Orbit Baby System. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks- Erika
April 30th, 2008 at 3:40 am
I have been closely following your comments on the Targo — thank you for being so thorough! We saw it in person a few weeks ago and loved how smooth it rode, and how compact it is. One concern was with the canopy — it seems you have to compress buttons on either side to fold it up — is this correct? Also, any complaints about durability so far? It is so light, with so many bells and whistles, I’m wondering how well it will hold up over time (with typical urban use). We are deciding between this, the Frog, and the UB Vista now that it has a narrower wheelbase — any pros/cons to keep in mind? Thanks again — your input is appreciated!
Hi Sandy- Thanks for your post. So far, we have gotten great feedback about the Targo. I agree with you that it pushes very smoothly and does have alot of bells and whistles. My favorite feature is the ability to raise and lower the seat! Only time will tell how it will hold up but it’s predecessor, the Rock Star Baby Stroller, held up quite well and it was manufactured/distributed by the same company, Grand Touring Baby. They also have terrific customer service so I feel good about that.
Pros of the Vista are that you have a completely separate bassinet (where the Targo and the Bugaboo both have one seat frame that you configure to a seat or bassinet). Cons of the Vista is that it is still a pretty big stroller. Pros of the Bugaboo are the push and the colors. Cons of the Bugaboo is that you need to always take the seat off to fold and cost.
All three are great strollers- you just need to decide which features are the most important to you and go from there. Good luck! Erika

How does the Targo universal adapter work with car seats? Do you snap the car seat into the adapter or is the car seat strapped onto the adatper? Also, is there a website in which I can see how the adapter works?
Hi Andrea- The universal infant seat adapter for the Targo works more like a cradle with a seat belt strap. It is just as safe as an adapter where the seat snaps in- just make sure the strap is nice and snug. Unfortunately, the video does not show the adapter bar in use so I can’t help you with that one. Sorry! Erika
May 8th, 2008 at 3:08 am
I just want to thank you so much for providing this website! I have been asking many of these questions for a while and have not heard back from gtbaby.com, therefore, I loved your feedback on this site. I definitely am getting this stroller soon. I have till July for my little guy. Thanks again!
Thanks so much for your kind words! We really appreciate your feedback. We can’t wait to hear from you once you get the Targo on the road! Let us know your thoughts.
Take care-
Amy

Hello, i just ordered the Icoo Tago in mocha!!!! cant wait to get it! I was wondering if there are any accesories… such as a bug proteccion and a kids tray… if so, where could we buy it!? Thank you!
May 26th, 2008 at 1:59 am
Hi, would you happen to know if the Chicco and/or the Maxi Cosi infant car seat attaches to the Targo, with no problem? Thanks
Hi Rona- The Chicco and Maxi Cosi infant seat are both compatible with the I’coo Targo. Hope that helps- Erika
May 30th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
Hi,
I was wondering how the I’coo handles on sand? and snow?
Hi KC- Unfortunately, the I’coo Targo is so new that I don’t have any feedback for you yet. Any moms out there that use it on the sand, please post your experience on our blog! Regarding snow, I won’t know until our nasty Cleveland winter hits again. Sorry that wasn’t more helpful! Erika
June 24th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
Hello Erika,
I’m confused about the bassinet. Earlier you say “The bassinet is its own piece (separate from the seat itself)” and then later “The Targo doesn’t actually come with a separate bassinet (like the RSB). It is similar to the Bugaboo where it comes with one seat frame and the fabrics to make it into a bassinet or seat.” I’m not familliar with how this works? 2 pieces but 1 frame? Can you clairify how this works?
Thanks
Hi there- I’m sorry if that was confusing. The Targo is similar to the Bugaboo in that it comes with all you need in the box to configure either a seat or a bassinet. The RSB stroller had a completely separate bassinet and seat. The Targo basically has one seat frame that needs to be configured to be the bassinet or seat. Hope that helps- Erika
July 11th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
Hi Erika,
I am still a bit confused re: the bassinet and seat. The description of what is included with the I’coo looks as if the bassinet and stroller seat are two separate pieces. However, you say “The Targo basically has one seat frame that needs to be configured to be the bassinet or seat.”
Does the seat configure into a bassinet? Does that meant that when the baby lies flat he/she will have the harness underneath? Please clarify, Many thanks
Hi Valerie- The I’coo Targo seat is similar to how the seat works on the Bugaboo. Basically, there is one seat frame included as well as fabrics for the seat and fabrics for the bassinet. The same canopy is used when setting up the seat frame as the bassinet or the seat. The stroller comes with everything you need to configure the seat frame as the bassinet or the seat. When you configure the frame as the bassinet, it has a mattress so there is not the harness system that is on the seat fabric. Does that make sense? If not, give us a call at (866) 293-5642 and we would be happy to walk you through it. Thanks- Erika
July 13th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
Hi Erika,
Are you able to use the icoo targo bassinet alone without being locked into the stroller frame?
Hi Whitney- Thanks for your post. No, the I’coo Targo bassinet is not a stand alone bassinet (like some others on the market). Hope that helps- Erika
July 14th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Thanks Erika,
I went to a shop to test the Targo yesterday. I had my heart set on it. In the shop it was set up as a stroller so we asked the assistant to set it up as a bassinet. It took approx 45mins. You would need a PhD in engineering to put this together. It looked like such a headache. I do not want to go through that every time I want to change from the bassinet to the stroller seat.
I think I will go with the Uppa Vista as it it much easier to interchange between the stroller seat and the bassinet. It is also cheaper.
Many thanks for your information.
Valerie
July 26th, 2008 at 2:09 am
Valerie,
Not sure who was changing the stroller to a bassinet but we were at a baby store tonight and asked the same question. 5 minutes later it was a bassinet. Very simple. After being shown once I don’t think it would be a problem. A few snaps, bars and zippers and it is changed. Mike
Thanks for your feedback, Mike. It is so helpful for our other parents! Erika
August 12th, 2008 at 2:44 am
Hi Ericka,
I have been researching strollers quite a bit as I am expecting in a couple months or so. I am very short, five foot one and I was going to go with the bugaboo frog because it was smaller than the cameleon. I liked the fact that they were lightweight and small enouph for me because I could not bear pushing around a monster of a stroller. However this stroller seems to have every feature that I would want if not more… but I am a bit worried about how big it is… I am interested to know your feedback on the size, would it be sufficient enouph for a little Mom?
Hi Emily- While I think the Bugaboo Frog would be a great choice for you, I think the I’coo Targo would be, as well. I think it would be quite managable for a smaller mom. The handle bar adjusts very low so that would work well for you. Plus, it can fold with the seat facing out which makes it even more user-friendly than the Frog. I would say it is just about the same size as the Cameleon (and the Frog is just slightly smaller than the Cameleon) so it should be fine. If you have more specific questions, just shoot us an email at info@strollermama.com. Thanks-
Erika
September 13th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Hello,
Do you know the maximum height of the handles are for the Targo? I’m 5′11 would like to make sure that I am not bent over when pushing the stroller.
Thanks a bunch.
Hi Carrie-
At the maximum height, the handlebar is 41 inches from the floor. This seems suitable for being 5″11. The taller parents that have come into the store are really comfortable pushing the I’coo.

Hi Erika,
Is the Targo compatible with the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP Infant Car Seat?
Thanks
Hi Maria- Yes, it is compatible. Hope that helps- Erika
September 21st, 2008 at 2:05 am
Hi, I’m just wondering if the i’coo targo is in stock right now or if it’s on back order. I really like it and I’m due in April. I don’t know if I have to buy it now or if it’s safe to wait closer to my due date.
Thanks Hi Inna- Yes, the I’coo Targo is in stock right now- including the brand new Starry Night/all black version. Hope that helps- Erika
September 28th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
The Icoo Targo has been out awhile now. Has anyone had any issues with it? I’m looking to getting one for my baby. I saw one in the store, but I pushed it around in the store it didn’t feel as smooth as the Uppababy Vista. Anyone else notice this? Hi Doug- Thanks for your post. We have gotten wonderful feedback about the I’coo Targo. Both the Vista and Targo are excellent strollers and both have their pros and cons. The Targo has a smaller footprint and a universal adapter bar which is included. The Vista is a larger stroller but has a very generous storage basket. The Targo comes with one seat frame and the fabrics to configure it as a bassinet or a seat. The Vista comes with two pieces- a separate seat and a separate bassinet. Both serve the same function but have slightly different feels and different looks. Feel free to email us at info@strollermama.com or call us at (866) 293-5642 so we can give you a more personalized stroller consultation to help steer you in the right direction. Thanks- Erika
October 17th, 2008 at 4:06 am
My wife received the Icoo Targo as shower gift and I figured out why it didn’t feel as smooth as the Uppababy Vista in the store. The front wheels were in the locked position for the Icoo Targo I sampled in the store, so that’s why it didn’t feel as smooth as the Uppababy Vista. Once I assembled the Icoo Targo and unlocked the front wheels it feels really smooth when pushed around. I can’t wait for the baby to come, so that I can take her out in it. I’ve been pushing and spinning it around the house and my wife keeps looking at me like I’m crazy. LOL
October 24th, 2008 at 9:32 am
Hi,
This is a great review and I love your answers to people’s questions. Thanks for that! I love this stroller and am very tempted to buy it (had previously almost decided on a Bugaboo). My only concern is: is the mattress on the bassinet an Aerosleep or similar? Meaning, can the baby take naps in it, or is it meant solely for short strolls out and about? I would love to be able to park the pram in the living room adn have our baby sleep there. The mattress on the Bugaboo bassinett is in fact an Aerosleep, but most other strollers have horrible mattresses not really meant for sleeping any prolonged period of time.
Thanks!!!
Hi Cheli-
I just went out into our showroom and got hands on with the Targo. The mattress is very similar to Aerosleep. It is soft to the touch, almost foam like. Also, the headrest has extra padding in it. You could for sure use the bassinet for sleeping/napping. A friend of mine has the Targo and after she was done using the bassinet on her stroller she kept it and used it for trips to her moms house. She used it for naps because her mom does not have a crib. She loves it. We have heard good feedback on the quality of the fabric. I highly recommend this stroller!
Take Care-

Ali,
Do you carry the rain cover for the Icoo Targo? Please see the

Hi Doug- Unfortunately, we do not sell the I’coo Targo raincover as a separate accessory. The stroller comes with a raincover. Hope that helps- Erika
