Great lightweight pram but many issues...

I received this pram with the bassinet as a gift and have found both wonderful, apart from the sensitive brakes and problems with the sun cover(see below).My son loves it, especially the bar for his feet. The straps are padded and so is the lining. He knows he can look up and see me through the viewing panel anytime too. From day one, he's always fallen asleep in either pram or bassinet :)
Pros
The whole pram is incredibly lightweight.The front airflow panel in the bassinet is perfect for hot summers.
Great wide seat and good storage.
Love the tricky harness, children can't let your baby out!
Handles bumps, footpaths, etc with comfort for child.
The viewing panel in top of sun cover is great too.
The front swivel wheel gets you any direction you want to go (great turning circle).
Cons
Temperamental brakes in a bad place (near your feet) - touch lightly and they come on and/or make a clicking sound till the brake is completely taken off (usually by getting down and using your hands).Frame in sun cover completely warped after 12 months (we don't know how or why) so comes off side of pram frame and looks wavy instead of round and is now difficult to get sun cover to sit forward and stay there. Plus the sun visor in front of sun cover no longer extends forward to shade baby as much.
Easy to push and Very comfy!

I purchased this stroller app 2 months ago as i downsized from a tandem.Got a great deal which included the bassinet (not needed ,but will take it anyway!)Very easy to push and fold,very lightweight and had a lot of comments on how good it looks.Nice wide seat,which is deceptive as the actual whell width is quite narrow so bub gets the room to be comfortable without pushing a huge pram around.Love the fact that it reclines in an easy pull of the strap and no hassles sitting it back p whilst bub is in there.I have even found on the odd ocassion my nearly 3 year old doesn't want to walk,she fits quite comfortably next to,bigger then average,1 year old bro.Easy clean fabric which is great too.Pros
lightweighttake you from birth to 20kgs (with bassinette)
easy one hand fold
large basket
reclines
large sun hood
comes with zip in meah and bootie cover for extra protection (also great when bub is asleep)
Cons
only con i have found is the bumper (which is removable,or folds down out of the way)is covered in the nylon fabric that the pram is made of and it has pulled quite easily (not a big drama though)from bub putting feet on it.I also had a small prob with a loose brake cable but baby shop where purchased new that it just need pushing in further and fixed in 5 minutes,has been perfect ever since)Great mover, storage space and looks good too!

I bought the buggster and bassinet last year for the birth of my little girl. The bassinet is a little difficult to take on and off but cosy and lasted for a good 4 months. Very happy with the buggy personally think its much better than the quinny zap as it reclines and has a basket and better than the buzz and buggaboo as its so light (only 7 kilos). so impressed previus one get wrecked at the airport and after umpteen hours on the internet looking at new models decided couldnīt do better!Pros
great looking easy to push and lightweight with a basket and reclines!!Cons
Could recline more and brake is abit temperamental!Good Looking, many issues

I ordered this stroller because I love my Valco Runabout and wanted somthing less bulky for travel. It is a really great looking stroller, easy to open and close. After a week the left rear wheel kept falling off, I switched the wheels around thinking that I had put it to gether wrong but the same thing kept happening. So I returned it to the online retailer and they sent me a new one. I had the new one for about two weeks when it wouldn't stay unfolded. One side would lock in place but the other would still collapse. The cable inside had snapped. So I sent that one back and am still looking for a great travel stroller.Pros
Great LookCons
bad quality
