HANNAH: It’s incredibly

light. It steers well and

handles rough terrain, thanks

to the lockable front wheel.

Both my children looked

comfortable, and napped

happily. I love that it takes up

to 22kg in each seat, so it can

be used for older toddlers. A

bigger basket would be nice,

but overall this pushchair

suits our outdoorsy lifestyle.

HANNAH: This is great for
popping in the car, as it’s so
lightweight and folds easily. It
handles really well for a
lightweight stroller but sadly, it
doesn’t have lockable wheels,
which would be useful for
rougher terrain, and the seats
aren’t very upright, which
frustrated my three-year-old. I
love the extendable hoods and
the large basket.

GINA:Thispushchairis lightandeasyto manoeuvre, andit folds

with onemovement.However,theseat is small, somy toddler

leans back awkwardly in it. The baskets are also small. I wouldn’t

choose it for daily use, but it’s ideal for travel being so compact.

MICHELLE:Myfavourite!

It handledbothtownand

country effortlessly.It’s so

easy to push,andwitha foot

me andmy husband,the

adjustablehandleis great.

It’s socompact– I didn’t feel

like I hadto squeezethrough

awkwardgaps. I canpush

thiswithonehand, even

whenbothboysare in it.

MICHELLE: I’m always

sceptical when you read that

a pushchair can be folded

with one hand, but this really

can! It's ideal for use on public

transport as it’s lightweight

and so compact, taking up

minimal space. It’s nippy

around town and the width is

perfect – no more taking the

long route when thwarted by

narrow shop aisles!

MICHELLE: A nicelooking pushchair which feels really good
quality. The price surprised me – I expected it to be much more
expensive. It’s pretty heavy though – I needed help lifting it out of
the box, and in and out of the car. I was very impressed with the
sturdy sun shades. The baskets are a good size, although quite
shallow – we almost lost a few toys while on our travels!

WESAY:

The lockable swivel front wheels,

rear-wheel suspension and air-filled tyres

make this side-by-side pushchair a brilliant

choice if you’re a fan of the great outdoors.

It’s narrow enough to fit through standard doorways

and shop aisles, and the lie-flat seats recline

independently, so one child can nap while the other

enjoys the view. You can replace the seat unit

with a carry cot (sold separately).

WE SAY:

This side-by-side buggy is

impressively light and compact, and

easy to fold in a single movement.

It has front and rear-wheel suspension and a

generously-sized shopping basket, so it’s ideal for

city slickers. We like the extendable sun canopy –

handy for extra protection for your little one

from the elements – and we love the fact

that it comes with its own

carrying bag.
