we too wanted a parent-facing stroller. it seems weird to me to have the baby always facing away from you. we looked at that one, but it didn't have good enough reviews for me. Buuuut its pretty cheap so that might be a mitigating factor.
We got this one: http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=12066597
Its basically identical to the JJ Cole Broadway, but cheaper. we're in Canada, so... That said, I like it a lot. I like that I can flip it on the go without having to take the baby out. Cons are that the basket is small and not easy to access, its heavy, has to be taken apart to put in car, wide... but DD seems comfortable, so...
