It weighs less that 17 pounds and has an underseat basket large enough that can hold a large diaper bag or backpack.

Some models require you pull down the handle or lever near the rear wheels while others have red straps that must be connected. Check the owner's guide for more details on how each model's locking mechanism operates.
