Good – Im really happy with it. I wanted something that would be half decent to push on terrain if I wanted to take just one child out for a stroll, rather than taking my double pram. Considering it has plastic wheels, its rides very smooth in comparison to four wheel strollers. I think thats due to the larger sized wheels, giving it better control. Both my baby & toddler are very comfortable in it & have plenty of room to move around & dont feel or looked cramped. It offers the benefits of a 3 wheel jogger with the convenience of a light weight stroller. Im really happy with my purchase & would recommend it to others. I love this stroller. Its easy to steer with one hand, feels smooth on the road as well as on shop floors etc, has a great hood for sun cover, lays all the way back for child to sleep. Nice design, great parent tray for cups & keys. Narrow enough to get through gift shops to supermarkets yet roomy enough for toddlers. Easy to fold, one hand unfold, very light to pick up & is compact in the car. Large, easy access basket underneath. Material marks a little easy but nothing wiping down dosnt fix. Parent tray needs to be clicked into place each time pram is unfolded. A little overpriced

Very impressive pram for the light-weight/compact category – Hubby and I chose to downsize from our Phil&Teds Sport for various reasons, mainly that we no longer required a jogging pram and the extra boot space always comes in handy. We found this on special at Toys'r'Us ($150 down from $220). I was dissappointed with the sales rep who approached us. She stated that the project was exclusive to Toys'R'Us but had no knowledge of the product specification even though it was a sale item (thus increased consumer interest).

Through questioning and manager referral we discovered that:

1 - does NOT come with a sun or rain cover. However, I am happy to report that the Phil&Teds Sport sun cover (single) is a perfect fit. The clips on the bottom even matched. I imagine this will be the same for their Storm Cover.

2 - standard One Year Warranty to be honoured by Toy's'R'Us. Unfortunately, after warranty has expired the product is at the discretion of a third party company and you will have to chase them up for spare parts. My main concern were the wheels.

3 - She could not confirm the weight of the pram. I stood on my bathroom scales and calculate 9kg. I consider this to be light.

Compared to the other prams in its category/price range you get a sturdy piece of equipment with some great features. Love the modern design. It is difficult to tip sideways and can handle some weight with a bag on the back handle.

The canopy is very easy to pull forward/back and has good coverage over baby. There is a small pocket available behind the backrest for keys, phones, etc.

Is well padded and has three recline positions - upright/medium/flat (easy to operate).

The handle sits at a good height for a tall man (my hubby) and can be easily steered with one hand.

Is very easy to fold up/down (though the clip to hold it in place can be fiddly but I just wrap the strap around the bottom of the frame and use that to support/hold the pram in place when lifting in/out of car. quick and easy).

The basket is a good size but cannot be accessed if you have the seat fully reclined. I like how my big nappy bag sat close to the pram and didn't knock on my legs as I walked.

Just keep in mind that this pram would not take hard abuse. It will be great for everyday use but if you plan to jog with it, tip it over, throw it in the boot or be rough in general then it will not last. The wheels are only plastic but on our daily walk my bub fell asleep so it must have been a comfortable ride.

We are happy with this pram considering the quality that we downsized from. Sleek design. Light weight and fairly compact. Versatile recline options and good storage. No rain/sun cover. May be difficult to source extra parts.

Good – A pretty good all round pram. Light weight and doesnt take up heaps of space in the boot. Would reccomend this pram to anyone. Very light and easy to steer Parents tray with drink holder & a place to stash keys, phone ect. Got it for a bargain price at toys r us for $50 {their price stuff up} Lays almost completey flat lockable front wheel Reasonable size basket None that i can think of right now
