Advantages: Small, lightweight and compact

Disadvantages: Non adjustable handles and small basket

Having read a few reviews of this pram before buying it, I knew I would either love it or hate it. I'm glad to say I absolutely love it. Before having my children I was a nursery nurse so have experienced quite a lot of double buggys and I have to say this one is the best so far.

I wanted a tandem (its hard enough getting around the shops with a single so I def didnt want a side by side) which was lightweight and easy to manage and it came down to this one or the 'cosatto lite'. The reason I choose this one in the end was because it cost me £90 whereas the cosatto was £200!

The handles are quite high on this pram but it wasnt until I got it that I realised how much I was slumping over with my single buggy. Im 5'7 and they are at a comfortable height for me but I think if you are any smaller it might be a problem.

The basket is tiny which could be a 'down factor'. Theres only enough room for the rain cover (although with the british weather being like it is, I normally have it drapped over the pram just incase I need it quickly) or a couple of beakers. It was a bit of a problem at first because I was so used a big basket and we dont have a car so I need to shop for bits and bobs but I invested 20p in two sterdy bags from Tesco and hang them off each handle which does the job.

The wheels on this pram are big and manages the smaller curbs with ease and there is a certain knack to getting it up the bigger kerbs but in my experience its no different from any other tandem.

The front seat doesnt recline and the back seat is suppose to be from 3months on but I have had my little boy in it from the start and he hasnt fallen out yet:)

I thought the leg room for the back seat was insufficient at first but I tried my two year old in it and theres more than enough room for his little legs.

The hood is removable and there is a little window to see the child in the back if you want to keep it on.

It folds down umbrella style and is still quite bulky but I think you have to expect this as it is a double buggy after all.

One other thing Id say if you decide to get this pram is to invest in a little pair of welly's because the rain cover doesnt seem to cover there feet although I have the same problem with my single buggy.

Summary: Id say this pram is like marmite (love it or hate it).
