Bertini X6 Trek

The best in the marketplace – well i have this for the past 5 years, and it's still going great. easy to store, easy to use, the baby is comfortable, its very safe for your baby, its design is just amazing and i must tell you if you use it locally it can be use forever. i traveled with frequently and still in great shape. light, comfortable and strong there is one setback: it does not have a switch to lock every position in place when you use all 175 angel.

Excellent – Just a well designed pram which is a pleasure to push. My baby seems to love it too. The best all rounder we could find. A great all rounder. Very light and so easy to use. I would recommend it to anyone and would buy it again. There is much to love. Everything about this pram is done with just the push of a button. The seat can be reclined or moved to a very upright sitting position with ease while baby is sitting in it and it also seems really comfy and well padded. The seat has no sides so it is great for baby to get a good view of the world. I find it so easy and quick to fold up and so light. The fact it comes apart into two pieces makes it easier to lift. Although it is quite wide at 65cm (this width is comparable to Valco, Quinny etc) it is extremely manoueverable. Unlike many 3 wheelers this pram is quite short from front to back. I take it shopping all the time and find the small turning circle great. It is smaller than it first appears but is very balanced and stable. It is easy to push and steer with one hand. The brake is very accessible and easy to put on and off compared to brands like Phil and Teds. Also, I find the fact that my baby can face me invaluable on long shopping trips, I can shop, chat and play with my baby at the same time. The pram can also cope with walking around the suburbs and a bit of cross-country wheeling. Adjustable is handle great (I am a foot shorter than my husband). Also when the handle is put right down it is easy to get access to your baby and makes the pram even smaller when in a crowded place and enables the pram to be pulled right up to a table while out to eat. Although the hood is great and comes right over when the seat is in the upright position, I found it necessary to buy an extra UV cover and was disappointed that Bertini didn't make one to fit. The parcel basket is tiny but I overcame this by getting the huge Bertini bag to sit in it and it works really well. It takes up quite a bit of room in the boot when in two pieces.

Good – Its greatest strength is its maneuverability and light, agile feel. You could do a u-turn in a phone booth. Folding/unfolding is quick and easy, though as it comes apart in two pieces it does take up most of the boot and placing the shopping then becomes something of a spatial challenge. On the minus side, the baby capsule itself is rather small. Our daughter is a big girl, but at five and a half months she is already starting to get cramped in there. The X6 has really annoying shoulder straps which serve almost no functional purpose but just get in the way all the time. You can tuck the ends off to the side under the hood but they pop back out again as soon as you raise or lower it. They really should have thought of a way to tuck these out of sight permanently. Overall a quality pram but with some minor niggles. Extremely maneuverable, glides effortlessly, quality feel and construction, stylish design. A bit on the small side (cramped), small carrying capacity, silly shoulder straps which do nothing but get in the way.
