Mamas & Papas Venezia 2 in 1 Pushchair

I bought this pushchair second hand from a friend, after finding out I was expecting my son. To start with, I was impressed by the appearance, and even now I have people asking where I got my pushchair. For the first few months, I used the pram attachment, but as my son was large for his age, he outgrew it VERY quickly. Storage was a bit of an issue, as it is very bulky when folded. We didn't really find out about this issue for a few weeks as I don't drive, and it wasn't until I was trying to get the pushchair into my father in laws car that I realsied the problem. The folding mechanism can be fiddly, and you definitely need a family member of ...  Read the complete review

my oldest son is now 6 and we had the venezia for him and i was completely satisfied with it. i was overjoyed to find that it was still available all these years later so didn't hesitate to buy another for my 2nd child. how wrong and disappointed am i ? VERY ! the first 1 i purchased from the babylady at canterbury had parts missing off the chassis and had to be returned within the first week and the replacement is just as poor in quality. the poppers that attach the hood to the chassis are very loose and drive me crazy having to constantly re attaching them, the hood mechanism itself is also very tempremental and if i travel over an unsmooth pavement or cobbles falls ...  Read the complete review

I really researched the pram I was going to buy, and feel sadly let down by the venezia. Even though my baby was on the smaller side of average, the safety harness only just fit when she was lying in the flat position. It's fine now she is sitting up more, but I wasn't able to safely use it in the flat pram position for very long. I think it's poor marketing to describe it as a 'pramette' as people will expect it to function as an alternate to a carry cot as I did. It's very low to the ground and when the handle bar is in the reversed position you end up kicking the bar at the bottom - and I have got very long legs at all (unfortunately!!). ...  Read the complete review

We bought this after shopping around a lot, and were impressed with the practicality of the item. It was being bought by grandparents, so we weren't allowed to be bothered about the relatively expensive cost. When we purchased the item the shop were great and couldn't do enough. We were given a 6 month warranty. Initial impressions were good. The car seat being able to fix into the chair was very useful, and the chair itself was reclinable, and folded up well (one of the only pushchairs of its type that would fit into the boot of a Micra. The fixings for the press studs (plastic moulded) quickly wore out, meaning that the cover wouldn't ...  Read the complete review

I'm not sure how many fathers out there get excited about baby equipment but I can honestly say this is the best thing we have ever bought. My wife and I fret over everything we buy for weeks and this was about the fiftieth pram we had looked at. She wanted a traditional carry-cot type pram and I wanted something that would last longer as Ben got older. We got both with this. The Venezia has a host of clever touches. The folding mechanism is ingenious, and once you have the knack you can actually unfold it with one hand (useful while baby is wriggling under you other arm in Tesco's car park). The handle can be easily arched over the top of the pram to ...  Read the complete review
