I have had my stroller for a few months now. I love it still. I have owned the Graco travel system, a BoB stroller, a MacLaren Triumph and borrowed a friends Stokke stroller for several months. The Contours Options 3 Wheeler is my favorite. I have an older child (3 years old) with physical hardships.
*I love that she can get in and out when she feels like walking.
*I LOVE THAT THE HANDLE BAR IS HIGH, as I'm 5'10 and hate bending over a lot for other strollers. This stroller has a wide wheel base in the back, which is great because I don't kick it. There have been a few times it's been hard to get through clothes racks at the store, but other than that it's fine. It did take me a few times using it to adjust to the width.
*I love how easily it pushes regardless if the front wheel is locked.
*My daughter loves her own cup holder, as do I. I love that the parent tray is sturdy with 2 drink holders and a middle pocket. I wish it had a locked cover like the Jeep... Read more

Plusses:
~ Absolutely darling, great color and design (I get compliments all the time!)
~ Good directional controls, i.e. you can turn quickly and easily
~ Rear & Front facing options, which is a big bonus

Minusses:
~ Awful to put together (unhelpful & confusing b/w photos in manual)
~ Wheels look pneumatic (rubber tires filled with air), but they are really a hard plastic with a thin rubber stripe in the center
~ Not a super-smooth ride because of hard wheels
~ Stops short on uneven curbs (can't "climb" a ledge more than 2")

Overall, not a bad stroller, but I could see some easy improvements from the manufacturer, beginning with the manual. I came from using the Jeep Liberty stroller which was super for climbing curbs & ledges because it had real pneumatic tires. I was disappointed that this didn't ride better, but I'm supposing it's mainly because of these cheaper tires. It's just going to be something to get used to.

... is it better than our 5 year old Graco Metrolite?

First of all, after unpacking the box, you'll realize there are 17 pieces you have to put together by snapping and/or securing with screws. Fortunately, one simple screwdriver does the trick and the whole assembly took around 30 minutes. (I will note that I am used to assembling lots of things from furniture to small engine yard machines.) All the pieces were present in the box and there were even some screws/pins given as extras.

The stroller is quite sturdy and moves around very easily. The frame will even stand by itself when folded since it can balance on it's third wheel.

Some of the good features of this stroller:
1. Two cup holders and tray for the adult, one cup holder for the kid.
2. The handle bar can be reached easily by TALL people.
3. The universal car seat holder fit my Graco Snugride just fine.
4. It's easy to pop out the universal car seat holder and the... Read more
