WESAY:

Pushchairsdon’tcomemuch lighter

thanthis, butit’s alsoimpressively robust.

Ithandleswellandit’s smoothto push with one

hand–useful if you’realsohanging onto an

adventurousolderchild.Thisisparticularly

compactwhenfolded,so it’s idealif you’re short

onspaceanddon’twanta bulky pushchair

clutteringupthehallway.Itcomes with a

detachablebumperbarand

raincoverincluded.

MELISSA (9M): We had to

assemble this and it then

took us 25 minutes to

adjust the straps to the

highest position, because

none of the holes aligned

• not a task I’d wish to
  repeat! The seat isn’t very
  padded, the brake bar is
  easy to kick, and it feels a
  bit flimsy when mounting
  kerbs. It’s large, and doesn’t
  stay clipped together when
  folded, which is frustrating.

HANNAH(7M):I wasn’tsureaboutthiswhenI got it out the

box,asit remindedmeof a highchaironwheels– butI was

pleasantlysurprised.It’s incrediblylight,yet still felt stable to

push.It hasa spaciousseat,paddedstraps,a good-sized

basketandanextendablehood, althoughit’s a shame it

doesn’thavea ‘peek-a-boo’window like the others.

HANNAH(7M):I wantedto like this,asit’s such a good

priceandfoldscompactly,butI foundit too big and

unwieldy– both in termsof manoeuvringaround shopsand

when carrying it folded, especially as the clip that holdsit

together kept coming undone. It also had a strong rubbery

smell when I took it out the box, which put me off a little.

AMY (2Y): If it wasn’t for

the fact it’s so much bigger

when folded than the others,

this would’ve been my

favourite. It’s light but

reassuringly sturdy, so Ihave

no fear of it tipping, even

with an active toddler

climbing all over it. It’s easy

to fold and unfold, and

effortless to push, with a

good-sized basket. Forthe

price you can’t do much

better – I love it!
