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).
