Advantages: Good suspension, Large shopping tray

Disadvantages: Bulky, Uncomfortable, Expensive

I can think of only two good things about the Classicale travel system - good suspension and a large shopping tray. But when it comes to bad things... where should I start?
Size: It's big, bulky and heavy. In action, it is unwieldy for trips around shops etc. Folded, it doesn't seem much smaller and still takes up most of the car boot (when I had a loan car the other week, I couldn't get the pushchair in the boot at all). I couldn't even contemplate trying to take it on public transport...
Comfort: My daughter never looks comfortable in the pushchair seat and always seems to slump down. She isn't helped by the fact that the backrest often fails to stay in position. The hood, meanwhile, is really designed to be used when the pushchair is lying flat and provides little shade or shelter when my daughter is sitting.
General Design: The pushchair clips easily on to the chassis. It also easily unclips... I'm not always sure how. See also above comments about the backrest and the hood.
Conclusion: I wish we'd never bought the thing. I'd love a new pushchair - but given the money we paid for the britax one, I'm stuck with it.
