Overall good for the price
Reviewed by: CM from Victoria, Mar 02, 2010General Review
We have used ours daily for 2 years, including 2 trips abroad, and it surviving.Overall for the price, not a bad stroller, but ours on its last legs, so no good for long term use.
Heavy to lift, and fills the entire boot of car.
rear wheels very wide, and you will not fit through some supermarket checkouts.
If looking for cheap stroller to last a couple of years, then fine.
Pros
Comfortable for son, as we used it from birth till 2 years between Stroller and bassinet option.Good for the price.
We used it every day for 2 years, plus 2 International trips.
Cons
Rear wheels wear out and start to squeak.Very wide rear wheels.
Quite heavy to lift in and takes up entire boot of car.
good and bad pram, i wouldn't buy another one

I love to push this pram around, it's a dream to handle and when my son was smaller it was nice to be able to turn the seat around easily.Would I buy it again? No.
It's heavy to lift, the separated parts take up your entire boot, the real wheels have worn and the bar across the bottom (a footrest?) is right in the wrong spot for my 18 month old, who either has to stick his feet on it so his knees poke out, or hang them over the top leaving red marks on the backs of his ankles. Not to mention it's bare metal around the sides which can't be pleasant after I've pushed him around in the sun for a while!
Pros
handles well, a pleasure to pushlooks good
heaps of storage space
it was fairly cheap
Cons
footrest thing is too shortit's heavy to lift
takes up too much boot space
back wheels wearing out and...
it's a pain to push in narrow spaces, the back wheels are really wide.
Great occassional use - didn't last the distance

We walked for an hour or so most days of the week so I enjoyed ebign able to turn the seat to avoid sun, and the larger wheels made it easy to go 'offroad' including grass and beach. By 6 months the back wheels were worn on the inner edges (looking and feeling wonky)and the seat peg that slots into the base was coming off. Base is sturdy.Pros
Easy to push, felt light weight. Looks stylish. pocket behind seat very hand for keys and phoneCons
Upright is actually upright - my 6month old was frustrated trying to hold himself up using the bar. Removing the seat for turning and folding wore mechanism by 6months. Takes up all boot space of sedan (no space for shopping). large basket reduced by having the wheel chassis running through it.Greatest Pram I Have Ever Used

I found this pram to be the greatest one that I have ever used (As a childcare worker I have used a few). Being a first time mum I wanted a pram where I could see my baby and not have to turn the handle around all the time. I found that these prams (reversible handle) always end up breaking or do not clip in as they should. The seat in this pram is deep and wide and you can turn it whichever way to suit your needs. The basket underneath is great and roomy. My daughter has never used any other pram and we feel that it should last through any other children that we are going to have in the future. I really like the fact that the seat is removable as we have used it a few time as a seat when out in public on a chair so that our daughter does not feel left out and when she was a new born we were able to take it with us to people's places that did not have a cot etc and place her in this to sleep knowing that she would do so safely. Would highly recommend this pram to others.Pros
Great removable and reversable seatPlenty of room
No pump up wheels
Easy to use and assemble
Light compared to others
Can pull apart to fit in small cars
Seat cover all unclips and is fully washable
Great shade cover as well
Cons
Wide wheels at the back.If they had made it with the back wheels on the inside then I think it would have been perfect.
fantastic
