Why is it so difficult to buy a Dreamer Design stroller in Canada?

At BabyTravelPlanet.com we get asked regularly "Why is so difficult and expensive to buy Dreamer Design strollers for Canada moms and dads?"

Some of the best baby jogging strollers in the world and the most affordable baby jogging strollers are made by a company called Dreamer Design.

Many people in Canada have been interested in purchasing one of their strollers, but it is not easy to do. People in Canada can find the strollers at on line retailers, but the problem is that many of the on line retailers do not ship to Canada. If they do the extra costs of getting the stroller to Canada is prohibitively expensive.

For example, one of the best selling Dreamer Design strollers is the Manhattan Lite. You can find it on line at a price of $209. To ship the stroller to Canada will cost an additional $60. Add to that the custom clearance charges of $60 to get the stroller over the border, and then add another $17 for Canadian duty charges. That $209 stroller is now $209 + $60 + $60 +17 for a new whopping total of $346 (this is before GST and applicable provincial sales tax).

That was then, this is now. BabyTravelPlanet.com now is selling Dreamer Design strollers to people that live in Canada. BabyTravelPlanet.com is located in Canada and we have worked with Dreamer Design to bring their strollers into Canada at a price that is very attractive to moms and dads in Canada.

For example, the price for the Manhattan Lite stroller which is a hybrid stroller with a swivel front wheel is $209 picked up in Hamilton Ontario (applicable GST of 6% and provincial sales tax is extra). The cost to ship this stroller anywhere in Canada is only $29.95.

So now the price is $209 picked up or $238.95 delivered anywhere in Canada. This is a whopping savings of $136 for pick up orders and $106 for delivered orders compared to buying the same stroller from an on line retailer located in the US.

Top Baby Jogging Stroller with Swivel Front Wheel

We at BabyTravelPlanet.com are big fans of the Dreamer Design Manhattan Lite Baby Jogging Stroller with the front swivel wheel. we sell this baby jogging stroller to customers in Canada and USA.


A traditional jogging stroller will have a fixed front wheel. When using the term fixed front wheel it means that the wheel does not swivel or turn. Because of the fixed front wheel when you want to turn the stroller you tilt the stroller back onto its rear wheels to make the turn.

The fixed front wheel is ideal for jogging, because it provides the stability and straight tracking that you need.

Many parents that like to jog with their child want more flexibility from their baby jogging stroller. They want their stroller to be used both for jogging but also for other uses such as using the stroller at the mall. The fixed wheel is great for jogging but it becomes a nuisance when out shopping because the stroller has to be tilted back onto its rear wheels to make a turn.

Some stroller manufacturers such as Dreamer Design Strollers recognized that many people want a jogging stroller that can be used for jogging and also more general everyday uses as well. To meet this need Dreamer Design has created a "hybrid" jogging stroller with a swivelling front wheel. The hybrid strollers has a smaller 12 inch front wheel that can be locked in place for jogging purposes and can be a swivel wheel for everyday shopping purposes.

Here are the advantages of the Dreamer Design Manhattan Lite Baby Jogging Stroller with swivel front wheel…



  • Easy to jog with on smooth terrain

  • More flexibility for shopping and running errands since its swivel wheel allows much easier turning than a traditional jogging stroller.

  • Lightweight – only 24.5 pounds
    Durable – welded aluminium frame provides durability. The stroller frame is so durable that it comes with a 5 year warranty.

  • Smooth ride – the large 16 inch back wheels provide for a smooth baby ride. All the tires are air filled which also improves the smoothness of the ride. The stroller comes with its own hand pump.

  • Wheel construction – the stroller has alloy wheels and steel hubs to provide durability and reduce the weight of the stroller.

  • Safe - Safety is the most important aspect whenever it comes to your baby. The Dreamer Design Manhattan Lite has a five-point harness. A five-point harness will keep your child secure in the stroller when out for a walk or a jog. The seat harness is easy to use. With this stroller just place the baby in the seat, and snap the belt buckle. Then all that’s left to do is pull one strap located at the front center of the seat until it’s tight and you are ready to go.

  • Comfortable seating - When out for your run or walk you want your baby to be as comfortable as possible. The seat on the Dreamer Design Manhattan Lite is padded and is made of a lightweight, breathable fabric which improves the comfort of your baby, especially during warmer weather. The Dreamer Design Manhattan Lite reclines so that baby can have a nap.

  • Cleaning - The Dreamer Design Manhattan Lite has washable seats that can be easily removed cleaned and dried in a washing machine and dryer.

  • Sun Protection - We think one of the most important aspects of any baby stroller whether it is a jogging stroller or a traditional baby stroller is having a sun canopy that has the flexibility to provide shade to your baby no matter what the angle of the sun. Direct sunshine into the baby’s face not only will in all likelihood cause the baby to be very uncomfortable and unhappy – but we are all becoming more and more conscious of the negative impact of the sun’s rays. Dreamer Design Manhattan Lite has a full tilting sun canopy that can shade the rider from almost any angle.

  • Brakes - Brakes are an essential safety feature on any jogging stroller. The Dreamer Design Manhattan Lite has a foot brake for securing the stroller when not moving.

  • Easy to fold - Many people who own or are looking to own a jogging stroller are looking for a stroller that can be easily folded for easy storage. A good jogging stroller should have a one step process for folding down to a compact size for storage or placing into a car trunk. The Dreamer Design Manhattan Lite is easily folded by one person. If you plan to travel a lot with your stroller you will like the fact that the stroller has quick-release wheels that pop off for ultimate compactness when folded.

  • Folded size - Most people take their stroller with them in your car. Make sure that the stroller will fit into your trunk when the stroller is folded. The Dreamer Design strollers that our family uses compacts down to as small as 39 x 20 x 12 without the wheels and down to 42 x 25 x 16 with the wheels left on.

  • Handlebar flexibility - When considering a stroller it may be important that the handlebars are adjustable. If your spouse is significantly taller or shorter than you the stroller should have the flexibility to easily adjust the height of the handlebars. The Dreamer Design has adjustable handlebars so that people of varied height will be comfortable pushing the stroller.

  • Storage Pockets - Many people when purchasing a stroller are looking for pockets, pouches, cup holders and storage space that are part of the stroller’s design and construction. The Dreamer Design stroller has storage pockets for holding the supplies you need when out with your baby. There is also a storage basket under the seat.

  • Weight Capacity - Weight capacity refers to the certified weight that the stroller can carry. The number refers to the total weight of the rider and not the weight of any accessories or items carried in the pockets and pouches. When purchasing a jogging stroller make sure that your stroller has enough capacity in order to accommodate your child as they grow older and gain weight. The last thing you want is to have your child outgrow their stroller. The Dreamer Design Manhattan Lite is rated to hold a baby that weighs up to 80 pounds.

  • Warranty - Jogging strollers are an investment in your health and your baby’s health. You want to make your purchase with confidence. The Dreamer Design Manhattan Lite comes with a guarantee on the stroller frame of 5 years, and a guarantee of one year on the non-frame part of your stroller.

  • Available in Canada and USA – Up until now it has been difficult and very expensive to buy a Dreamer Design Manhattan Lite in Canada. BabyTravelPlanet.com is located in Canada and sells The Dreamer Design Manhattan Lite to customers in both Canada and the United States.

  • Affordability - The price for the Dreamer Design Manhattan Lite is $209.00. Pricing is in US dollars. Shipping anywhere in the Continental USA and Canada is $29.95. Shipping costs are refunded on pickup orders.

Advantages of GR8X Baby Traveller all in one diaper bag.

The GR8X Baby Traveller bag is a unique diaper bag in that it contains a built in change pad for changing your baby.

The GR8X Baby Traveller diaper bag is manufactured in Australia. This bag is destined to become the hottest diaper bag on the market within the next year.

It is starting to get some justified recognition. Recently on a review site called Baby Scoop it out rated all other diaper bags as the most versatile diaper bag on the market.

The GR8X Baby Traveller diaper bag takes some explaining but the most useful and versatile bag on the market. This diaper bag is less of a fashion statement, but totally useful and functional. It comes in 8 great colors and does back pack, shoulder and messenger carrying positions along with the ability to hang on a stroller.

For those that own a GR8X Baby Traveller diaper bag it has become an amazing baby accessory. It helps moms and dads out of jams - since you can unfurl its built in change pad virtually anywhere... even on a bathroom floor (not fun but sometimes necessary).

The GR8X Baby Traveller bag unfolds like a large "T" and baby lies on the bag, with his/her accessories on each side. When done, the bag folds into itself and forms into a neat backpack. Very cool.

The GR8X Baby Traveller is essentially your portable diaper changing table. For parents on the go, it’s a dream bag that not only includes the built in changing pad but has several convenient pockets for all of your diaper changing essentials, such as pockets for diapers, wipes, a change of clothes and little baby toys. It also has an insulated bottle holder that often came in handy.

Imagine being at a place where there is no washroom, or where the washroom has no change table, or if they have one it may be filthy – all you do is fold out the change pad, lie baby down and change their diapers. You can change your child anywhere – people have used this bag and it’s built in change pad to change their baby’s diapers on the sidelines of sports fields, changing room floors, and park benches – total flexibility.

The GR8X Baby Traveller comes with an additional changing pad, which can be replaced when you have those messier changes.

The design is simple and stylish, and doesn’t look like a typical diaper bag. The back pack function allows free hands and is quite comfortable if you are carrying it for long periods of time.

The GR8X Baby Traveller is great to receive as a gift or to give to someone else as a gift.
