MELISSA (9M): This looks
really great and I had high
hopes for it. Its major plus
points are how practical it
is for travelling with young
children. I was impressed
by how small it folds, and
the fact that you can pull it
along like a suitcase. But it’s
not as easy to fold or unfold
as other pushchairs we
tested, and access to the
basket is quite restricted.
An ideal holiday pushchair.

HANNAH(7M):Themost expensivepushchairwe’vetried,
butyoucantellit’s top-of-the-range,withitsleatherhandleand
padded seat and harness. There’s a lot to love, including how
light it is and how compactly it folds. The umbrella-style fold
is a bit fiddly, though, so you’ll need two hands. Eloise happily
napped in the lie-flat seat under the giant hood.

AMY (2Y): This is a
great-looking pram, with
some very classy touches.
It’s a little tricky to unfold,
but I think it’s handy that you
can pull it along behind you
once you’ve folded it. I can’t
fit my change bag in the
shopping basket, so this
wouldn’t be my first choice
for everyday use with a
growing toddler, but it’s
certainly a well-designed
pushchair for travel use.

y in the future, this is it. Lightweight and
e, it folds super-compactly, so it ’s the ideal
hoice for a tiny car boot or if you’ve got
minimal space to stoe a pushchair
when it ’s not in use.

MELISSA (9M): This feels
luxurious. Nice fabric, comfy
seat,smoothto putupand
down, and the sturdy,
well-built frame is easy to
manoeuvre. It’s slim, so it’s
great for tight spaces. But
I’m not keen on the flimsy
sunshade, and the basket
isn’t huge, plus the stroller
is noisy – it makes a
tinkling sound when you
push it. I love everything
else about it though!

HANNAH(7M):Thisfoldseasilyinto a small, neat package,
makingit ideal forcarryingupthestairsto my flat.It’s an
attractive high-endstrollerwitha comfyhandle, paddedseat
and fancy raincover. It handles cobbles surprisingly well, and
was easy to push one-handed. However, the seat feels small and
exposed, and the handle is on the low side for a taller parent.

AMY(2Y): One of our
favourites – it’s very smart
andsturdy,andextremely
compact when folded; handy
during a long day of train
cancellations and squeezing
into busy carriages with a
pram, bag, toddler and
bump. It feels dependable
and robust, yet still very easy
to handle, and super-neat.
I just wish it was suitable from
birth without having to fork
out for an extra kit.

WE SAY:
Pushing this is a dream. It ’s
impresively light, and yet sturdy
enogh to cope with all types of terrain. The
seat is reasonably well-padded and the
adjustable leg rest offers extra comfot for tired
little legs. Larger wheels at the back seem to help
make it particularly easy to manoeuvre. We
love the hidden valuables pocket. Add
the Newbon Kit to use from
birth (£129.90).
