This is used as a spare in the car – I have an uppababy vista as my main pram, and this is a very good value pram for those on a budget. Love the reversible handle so hard to find these days, the handling is really only for city streets you wouldn't take this off road, it is OK, but then I have been spoilt with my vista. To be honest, I think you're better off buying this over a… Read more
strider or other mid range prams (except an uppababy alta perhaps). But of course if you do buy a discovery, make sure you have checked everything over within the qarranty period as they won't last for years and years like some of the more expensive prams, you may get a good 2-3 years out of them, so when you're only paying around $200, that's not too bad value for money.
Having trouble with it – ive only had my pram for 5 months and already both the back wheels keep falling off as both clips have come off and it just ants to keep going to the sides when I'm pushing it. Not very happy bout it for the price paid. I do love the reversible handle and how it's easy to fold.
The Beast Pram – This pram is amazing! So simple to fold and unfold, it can be a little tricky to maneuver if not being used on hard ground. Great for shopping and casual walks. I am so happy with my purchase, it has out lasted both of my babies and it is ready to be passed onto a new family.
Ok Pram – This pram ia alright. I bought it for the function of being able to flip the handle over to have baby parent facing. But once i started to use this funtion i found it very annoying and gave up and flipped the handle back. The back wheels which become the front wheels in reverse are fixes wheels that dont swivel so you hace a very difficult time… Read more
steering. You have to steer from thw back wheels which makes turning horrible.
The folding is easy and its a litle heavy but that didnt bother me too much.
The wheels are notmall terrain wheels and can get dents in them if walking over rough terrain like gravel or sticks.
The recline is excelwnt going to completly flat for newborn. And the mechinism for the recline is east. Easy recline, newbown capable, easy fold, inexspensive useless in baby facing mode
Fairly decent pram – Hi All :-) I purchased this pram from Target for about $150 I think. I have had it for about 15 months and it has done it's job very well. My list of pro's and con's is as follows; Pro's - reversible handle, big basket, big sun shade, full layback (so suitable for a newborn), easy to steer, good safety harness, price. Con's - big and… Read more
bulky + weighs a lot, after about 6 months use the front wheels began going askew whilst pushing the pram or they would wobble around like crazy until you adjust them, the lever required to fold the pram down snapped off making the pram useless as we couldn't fold it down, cannot access basket while fully reclined.
Overall, for the price I paid I didn't feel ripped off. I did get a lot of use out of this pram and I do feel the there are more pro's then con's. I wouldn't recommend it to be used as a jogging pram or for anyone with a small vehicle, but otherwise it's great. reversible handle, big basket, big sun shade, full layback (so suitable for a newborn), easy to steer, good safety harness, price. big and bulky + weighs a lot, after about 6 months use the front wheels began going askew whilst pushing the pram or they would wobble around like crazy until you adjust them, the lever required to fold the pram down snapped off making the pram useless as we couldn't fold it down, cannot access basket while fully reclined.
I love this stroller, I specifically brought it because it has the reversible handle! – The feature it has of the reversible handle make it perfect for me as a first time mum, and fine it easy to maneuver, though at first it was tricky to get the hand of it a week later no problems! I love the cover at the front for their feet. and because it is reversible I have not had to strap my daughter in as she hates being strapped in. I am… Read more · 1
not sure where to get a rain cover for it but am looking!
I am satisfied with this and I didn't pay lots of money I originally laybyed it then it went on sale and already paid that much on layby, so, I cancelled the layby and outright brought it.
The pram is easy to assemble and disassemble ad doesn't have gadgets coming out of its ears. Love my pram very much. No matter what anyone else says, it does what I want. :) between this and a really expensive one, I would choose this one. Reliable, reversible, inexpensive, and es what I brought it for.
Great basic pram – I love this pram but have just upgraded as I find it too heavy. As we plan on having more kids, seems pointless having a pram that drives me crazy getting in & out of the car. Takes up a lot of room in the boot & we have a 4WD. Not the best over grass & gravel, but no worse than I expected for the price. Great maneuverability & LOVE the reversible… Read more
handle - our bub is now 12 mths & we still reverse the handle. Very roomy for bub & great lie down/sit up positions. I had no issues with steering (some say it's hard when bub faces away), it's just different steering that you get used to. I would recommend only buying on sale as I don't think it's worth it's RRP. I am sad to replace ours but weight is a big issue for me. Easy to steer, roomy, great lie down/sit up positions, easy to clean, great storage, reversible handle, one foot brake, price Unfolding it from car, weight, bulky
Great Stroller for Price – My baby has always been comfortable in this stroller. It is very roomy for him especially now that he is getting older. Has been a very reliable stroller. Now that Bub faces forward much easier to steer. Overall great stroller for price and considering they are in stroller for such a short time good buy. Great Price!! Very sturdy. Baby always… Read more
comfortable heaps of room for growing baby. Love the huge basket underneath, this was fabulous to take shopping could store all bags underneath safely. great shade hood . Very easy to fold and unfold once practiced a few times. Good height you don’t have to bend over too far to pick up or put in bub. Overall great stroller for price. Biggest con was that it was heavy to lift into car. Steering was a little hard to get used to when you reverse handle to see bub and really does drive like a truck in this reverse handle position.
Not what i expected – I bought this pram from the 50% off sale at target and I'm glad I only paid half price for it. This pram is very hard to steer when the child is facing away from you and even harder to steer when they are facing you. I have found it hard to get into the basket underneath the child when they are lying flat without disturbing them. It is fairly easy… Read more
to fold up, however when folded up it takes up a lot of boot space. The weight of the pram is good so that it does not easily tip over, however this makes it harder to pick up and put in the boot. reversible handle, big seat, big basket bulky when folded up, heavy, hard to steer
Love this stroller! – I was given this stroller as a gift, and love it. It's quick to put together for the first time. Opening and folding it is quick and easy. I love that it only takes a second to change the handle position, so my newborn is facing me. It has a good sized basket underneath, and you can keep a few things in there even when it's folded (I keep a spare… Read more
blanket and toy in there all the time). I don't see any point in buying a more expensive stroller - this one is just about perfect. Easy to use, is almost the perfect stroller. It takes a bit of practice to get steering right.
Good for inexpensive stroller – Easy to steer if the child facing away from me but hard to steer when facing toward me. It is frustating me when i try to keep my bub in the shade or out from the wind while have to concentrate on streering. Big basket under the seat which is good and the bad is hard to reach into it when the seat. inexpensive, roomy basket, easy to fold. hard to steer when facing toward, hard to reach the basket underneath if the seat laying flat.
Excellent – Best pram ever. I have used it from newborn to toddler, no complaints at all. My friends paid small fortunes for flash prams they don't like and aviod using. I have walked hundreds of kilometers on paths and "off-road" with mine for the last year and it is still going strong!! I couldn't live without it. I am so glad I bought it and would… Read more
recommend it to any one. Also Choice website rated it pretty well too. Reversible handle is fantastic!! Cheap, sturdy, huge basket (my whole nappy bag fits). My husband had to teach me how to fold it up. Does take up a lot of room in the boot.
Love this stroller – I like this stroller as it wasn't too expensive and seems roomy enough for my bub as she gets bigger. Although it is quite large when folded down, it still fits ok in a hatchback car. Easy to fold down and unfold, inexpensive, roomy, reversible handle Hard to steer when the bub is facing toward me.

OK – I think would be great if mine worked properly. Am interested to know if other people have so much trouble opening theirs. I like the price, colour & style of stoller. The two things I don't like about it is, quite hard to steer when handle reversed & carry basket gets caught in wheels when setting it up. Makes opening quite difficult and takes… Read more
alot more than a jiggle to release, so maybe mine just a little faulty. Not sure but as a fourth time mum I've had plenty of practice with prams
Don't bother with expensive strollers - this one does the job! – Bought this on sale from Target after our previous stroller, a three-wheeled one, was damaged by baggage handlers. This stroller is much easier to manoeuvre in its forward-facing position than a three-wheeler. It a really is a fantastic stroller, especially considering the price. A reversible stroller is a must, so you can keep the sun off… Read more
baby's face. This one is easy to flip around. It's also easy to fold up and fairly light.
The basket is roomy - it holds three full supermarket shopping bags. The handle is a good height for me (5'8") but a little short for hubby (6'2"). There's a big pocket in the back as well, and we leave the boot cover on all the time to serve as emergency storage for baby's shoes, blanket, toys, etc.
Our baby took her naps in this stroller until she was about 10 months old - we'd walk her around the block until she was asleep, and she quite happily remained asleep in there with the straps loosened.
Cons: In the rear-facing "pram" position, it's hard to steer - takes some getting used to. The handle height is not adjustable. Inexpensive, roomy basket, comfortable, practical Handle height not adjustable, forward-facing steering is hard
Disapointed – We got this on sale at Target (50% off) and you definatley get what you pay for! Takes a bit to get used to folding and unfolding, i needed to practice quite a few times! When seat is fully reclined you cant really access the basket underneath. This pram is terrible to steer, never goes straight, you cant just walk along and not concentrate, you… Read more
have to be always paying attention to where you steer and it is very hard to turn the pram around to go int the opposite direction.
A very frustrating pram! Inexpensive, light weight Terrible to steer
Good – A great basic pram. We bought this pram when bub was little as she didn't like our other pram which was a bassinet style. Large shopping basket, narrow - great for shopping!, hood closes with silent action (won't wake baby up), easy to fold, can buy this pram from Target and it was fairly cheap. We actually got it on sale which was a bonus!… Read more
Backrest adjusts to different levels. A little heavy to push and heavy to fold and lift into boot of car. Handle doesn't move up and down to different heights (to suit short and tall people), looks a little cheap compared to other prams.
Does everything I need! – I got this from Target and have been using for 5 months since birth of my baby. I considered many more expensive options, but went for this as I figured at the price, if I didn't like it I could justify buying another one. Five months on and I am so happy with it. There are a few little things that are a pain, like when the seat is fully… Read more · 1
reclined, it's hard to get into the shopping basket, and it's heavy, but I really and happy with this pram.
I am 5'7 and hubby is 5'9 and we have no issue with the handle height, I can even wear heels and not struggle. It folds down easily (once you figure it out) and it's fairly compact. I LOVE the wheelbase - this was a huge factor for me as I didn't want to be one of those people who gets in everyones way and can't get through checkouts - it's one of the narrowest I have seen. I have tried a 3 wheeler pram on holiday and this feels a lot more stable, you can go up stairs and kerbs without trouble. I purchased a universal rain cover seperately for this and it fits well. It came with a boot cover, that I havent used. Reverse handle it great for when bubs wants to look at you, only used a few times and it's a little trickier to manouevre, but not too bad. Inexpensive, narrow wheel-base, reverse handled, compact and sturdy. Shopping basket can be hard to access when fully reclined, heavy.
Good – it is a great pram for every day use even on shops narrow aisles , public transportation, and with the low price it is great if you want some thing cheap and great to use big basket easy to steer and if you a shop alcoholic like me you will appreciate it you can put a lot of things on the basket and hook the on the handle without the pram to full… Read more
on its back i have it for almost ten monthes now and i use it every where
and in the same time it's not very big to take all your car boot
i go with it every where shopping, picnic, beach, and just for walking and you can get it on special from target for only 180 $ it is hard to maneuver when your baby faces you and when you try to open it the front wheel stuck on the basket and it needs a little giggle
Good – I love this pram and all it's extra's.It's lightweight and easy to use. I love that I can move the handles as it makes it easier when outside I can move my babies position out of the sun or wind ect... Reversable handles, large basket. Comes with rain cover and fitted sleeping bag insert for extra warmth in winter. Great price. Handy zip up pocket… Read more
for keys wallet drinks ect.... at the back. When taking it out of the car it doesn't unfold if the wheels were not lined up straight with the frame when folded up and you have to jiggle it to get it open.
Excellent – I love this stroller, bought to use for baby sitting. The fabric is great, used a baby wipe to clean handle bar, large basket fits ur bag in, easy to hold with basically one quick movement, plush for baby, I LOVE the reversable handle, easy to push, good quality sturdy pram for a great price. I would recomend to everyone, but these days everyone… Read more
has different wants and needs. I cant rave enough about this product. Large basket, easy to fold, rain cover and boot cover come with, easy to lay baby down, easy to fold, nice to push, great fabric Harder to steer when baby is facing you (nothing that a bit of practise wont hurt) and a little heavy
