I too love my Shuttle
Reviewed by: Felicity from Melbourne, Jun 05, 2010General Review
We purchase our shuttle before my first child was born as my husband thought it looked cool and I wanted a steerable 4 wheel pram with pneumatic tyres, and it was the best decision! All the accessories are great, the pram can handle all terrains and is super easy to push. My children have always looked super comfy and they r winter babies so the sleeping bag was great. As everyone else has said, the shuttle is big, but I have fit it in my Holden Astra boot with the wheels on and room for the nappy bag. The other difficulty is reversing, but we just lock the swivel each time with a quick foot action and it is no trouble when the wheels don't turn.I could not more highly recommend one of these prams. Pity you can only get them second hand now.
Pros
Easy to push, can use one hand and hold onto your toddler or coffee with the other!Comfortable
Looks good
Wears well, onto child 3 now
Comes with all the accessories
Cons
LargeReversing
Can't have child face you, only forward facing

I don't know what we would have done without our Bertini. My partner, our son and I have dragged "the Tank" from one end of the planet to the other. Its been to some of the most difficult to get to places, the Pyramids, Africa, Hong Kong, Japan, all over Europe and Britan, across Australia twice (driving) and every time I throw it on another plane or train or bus, it gets off the other end, unfolds and sets off. My children have loved being able to see the world from its safe and secure seat. When its been -3'c we put on the sleeping bag and when its 42'c the hood and a shade cover keep everyone cool and comfie. For 5 years and 2 children, the Tank has looked after our children and I love it. It was worth every penny, it is happy on sand, snow, cobbles and narrow shops are a small inconvenience. There are no real cons with the Shuttle, if your looking for a pram that will last, this is the one for you.Pros

before I had my first child I was a Nanny by trade. I had experienced may prams and the only one I swore buy was the Bertini Shuttle. We got one when our wee girl was born. It was great for going for walks and for use round the malls. The padding in it ment she was really comfy. One of the big draw cards for us getting the shuttle was the price. We got the Pram, Boot cover, rain and shade covers, sleeping bag, wheel pump and a Kiddi Board all for the price that we would have paid for just a mountain buggy on its own. We are having # 2 soon so I cant wait to use it again. having the Kiddi board is going to be great for my now 3 yr oldPros
Really comfyAdjustable height hood ment it could be lowered to keep babes more snug
Really sturdy
Great price
Easy to steer
Great for all surfaces
Cons
Reversing with the 4 wheel steer was a bit of a mission to start with but we likened it to backing a trailor and it became easy pretty quicklyAn Amazing Pram!!!

I love my Bertini Shuttle, it is my favourite pram and I own quite a few!!! The steering system is amazing, though it can be hard to reverse, it takes a bit of practise. It is more suited to walking then to quick shopping trips but I do take it to the shops if I am going to be there a while. Fits into the boot of my commdore sedan length ways, so I able to roll it in an out on the wheels. Folding can be time consuming as you have to adjust the handle bar, fold the pram then shorten the hood length.Pros
- Reclinable Seat - Large Underbasket with Zippered Section - Pockets On Back Of Hood - Padded Liner, Raincover, Bootcover & Newborn Sleeping Bag Included - Adjustable Handle Height - Removable Front Bumper - Hood Is Height Adjustable Enabling The Folded Length To Be Shortened - Easy To Steer - Multitude Of Colorways Available - Can Take A Toddler Seat - Steering LockCons
- Can Be Hard To Reverse - Doesn't Fit Through All CheckoutsI real 4WD!

I love the Shuttle! Its steering is amazing, though it does take a bit of practise to get into reverse. It is great for walks to the park, going over rough terrain, and at the shops. There have only been a few checkouts that it hasn't fit through - I think they are making them wider these days. THe basket is very large, and for walks to the park, there is a pocket on the back of the hood that is just the right size for an ipod!We fell in love with this stroller when I was first pregnant. But we thought there was no way it would fit in my car. But would you believe it fit in the boot of a Hyundai Excel (sedan)???? Well it did! With the wheels on as well!!! There was still room for a bit of shopping too!
While the seat doesn;t fully recline, my son slept in it just fine.
Pros
Steering, storage basket, durable, one touch brake bar across the backCons
A bit heavy, can take a bit of practice with reversing in 4WD mode, doesn't fully reclineExcellent Pram

Like all the other reviews this pram is excellent it really is like a BMW, you get what you paid for. My Kids love this pram i am on my third child and the pram has lasted well and i love the way it steers and feels so safe. Well done Bertini!!!Pros
Looks good, last 3 children, Strong, Can fit from newborn through till older toddler if you want. Get it you won't be sorry:)Cons
Big pram ( need a station wagon or bigger car) Won't fit through all shopping check outs but can always get it through at least one as shops have to cater for at least one big check out and at the end of the day i would rather comfort for my child.5 Star pram

Very Happy with the pram my baby loves it so much she will sleep anywhere in it. I found the tyres to be a bit big and looked to plastic so i changed the wheels other than that a great pram, money well spent would recomend it to anyone and people have commented on how nice it is to steer. A top pramPros

Love my Bertini!!!It is easy to steer, easy to set up and fold down. So glad we decided to buy it. Has been great for wear and tear with the big tyres. Other than the tyres, it still looks brand new!
Pros
Love the pocket on the back of the pram that fits in drink, keys, wallet etc. Storage basket underneath fits heaps. Steers with ease (tried a few friends prams and wonder have they ever manouvere their prams)Cons
usually have to use disable checkoutheavy - but then so is my child!
Hate it

I have had nothing with problems with my Bertini Shuttle, although it is a 2001 model. I ordered it specially from my baby store and was supplied the wrong colour, bit late when I unpacked the box (I live 2 hours away from the baby store) and had a premmy baby and needed it. I contacted Bertini but they didn't want to know anything about it. Also told I would be albe to get replacement parts to suits this colour and have now found out that the colour I have is no longer available.Pros
Large tyres are goodCons
Heavy PramToo wide for most Checkouts
Handle does not feel sturdy
Seat hard to adjust
Love it

I have an older model of the Shuttle (2003 maybe?) but from what I'm told by sales staff the differences with the new models aren't that great. I've never had a problem with my Shuttle and highly recommend it.Pros
- easy to steer- easy to collapse and expand
- nice smooth ride for baby
Cons
- quite heavyLoved my Shuttle

I loved my shuttle, it was so easy to steer and was very stable with the toddler seat on it. Well made and was a pleasure to push over all types of surfaces.I loved this pram and it was just great for when I had the two children as it had lots of storage and never once did you feel that it struggled with the weight of the two children.
Plus very easy to clean fabric and you can get some get add ons, such as a bassinet and sleeping bag.
Pros
Easy to steer and ability to take toddler seat.Able to go over all types of surfaces.
Nice big basket underneath, and lots of handy pockets on the back
Husband loved the height adjustable handle
Cons
Was quite heavy and took up a lot of boot space.Just that bit too wide for standard checkouts.
