Advantages: Multi-functional, practical, useful
Disadvantages: Could be a bit smaller
Pushchairs are serious business. A good pushchair can be a godsend; a bad pushchair can seem like a creation of the devil himself. So it's important to know what you're buying before you splash your cash. They're not cheap either. They should be seen as an investment because, like I said, a quality push chair can make all the difference. At £300, this pushchair isn't inexpensive, but I feel like it's worth it.
It's very easy to use. It's obvious how to fold and unfold it and I've never had to check the instructions. Some pushchairs are nearly impossible to use. It's a very light piece of equipment too, so you don't have to wrestle with it to get it to fold down. Despite its lightweight, it still feels very substantial and well made. I imagine it could take a few knocks and come out alright.
It's practical. The shopping basket is perfectly large and has extra pockets for keeping things like the rain cover in.
The fact that this doubles up as a carrycot is very useful too. It's very good for when you want to move your sleeping child into the push chair without waking them.
I also like the fact that the seat can face both ways, so when your baby's younger, you can have them facing you and then when they grow up a little bit more they can be turned round so that they can see where they're going. The way the seat is angled allows for good visibility for your little one.
Not that aesthetics particularly matter, but I do like the look of this pushchair. It is also possible to buy accessories and add ons which fit with the style of the push chair. For example, I currently have my eye on a parasol, which is good for baby, but also looks nice too.
It doesn't handle as well as some other push chairs I've used over the years, but this might just be a matter of taste. I've read reviews from other people saying that this push chair handles brilliantly so maybe it's just me! I have also found that the closing mechanism was a bit sticky when the pushchair was new but, having used it for a few months; it seems to have loosened off and improved. The pushchair also boasts that it will fit into small cars, well, so far, I have to say, I'm not too sure about that one. I have a fairly average sized car and it fits in mine fine, but I have tried to put it into my friend's car before (which isn't particularly small) and it wouldn't fit. The tyres look a little bit cheap too. They're sort of naff plastic as opposed to air filled. I wouldn't be surprised if I have to replace them at some point in the future.
Overall, I'm very happy with this push chair. It has its down sides, but I think it's still probably miles ahead of the competition.
Summary: A generally good pushchair with a few minor problems.
