Advantages: Easy to use, Is from birth, lightish weight

Disadvantages: can jam fingers, baby can't face you

I had a proper pram for my daughter and when I discovered I was pregnant, I wanted an easier system to be able to manage with 2 children under 3. Especially for going shopping. After a lot of looking I was won over by the pliko buggy! I got my buggy as part of an end of range clearance so Instead of £209 I bought it for £165! It came with a raincover, cosytoe, hood and a shopping basket!

The buggy itself is very sturdy and I feel confident about using it knowing that unless my 3 year old now pulls on it, it will not tip over! The handles are lovely to hold and have 2 height setting so if you are small and your partner is tall you can both use this buggy comfortably with out someone having to stand on tiptoes or someone having to bend over and hurt their back!

I do not rate the shopping basket as it is flimsy and things can fall out easily!

The seat bit of the buggy can lie flat back and can be used from birth. This means that if you don't have space in your home it can be a great buy for a newborn as it also folds up very neatly! I did find though, that my son didn't look big enough until he was almost 4 weeks old!

I also felt the cosy toe didn't cover him enough and had to use extra blankets which meant that when I tried to fold the buggy up with the cosytoe and a blanket, it didn't lock when folded up! You also have to watch your fingers when folding up as they can get jammed sometimes, if you are not careful

You can buy extra accessories like a matching changing bag and sun canopy, but I didn't bother as I had plain navy ones left over from my daughter!

I don't like the fact that Baby doesn't face you as it is a front facing buggy but you can buy an M&P's car seat and the baby can then face you but physiotherapists do not reccommend that you leave babies in car seats for too long.

The raincover and the cosytoe also zip on to the buggy, which I like about the cosytoe
, but it means that you can't just fold your raincover up and put it in the shopping basket until you need it like I did with my stroller buggers!


Over all I feel very comfortable with this buggy and will not hestitate to reccommend it to other mums who are looking for advice.
