What's This?

The Nuna Pepp is sure to make you wonder why Americans need to have everything so big.

The European stroller, which only recently debuted in the United States, is compact and incredibly light, weighing in at just 19 pounds. Despite its smaller size, the stroller still has a shade, storage basket and five-point harness.

We had a chance to test drive the Pepp stroller, and found it to be snappy, compact and very chic. Assembly was a breeze, and it folds incredibly flat for easy storage.

The compactness of the stroller is probably its best feature; place it side-by-side with a typical American stroller, and you’ll definitely see the difference.

The Pepp is also made for one-hand navigation, so no more coffee-stained shirts while pushing your baby. The five-point harness, however, is something to get used to. Because it requires so many clicks into and out of place, prepare for a greater struggle with your writhing little one. What's more, the basket underneath is reminiscent of typical European car trunks — very small without much room for storage.

The Nuna Pepp retails for about $300, so it isn't the cheapest stroller on the market, but urban dwellers will appreciate what it has to offer.
