It's good – Good quality pram. Easy to fold and unfold. Little heavy to lift. When seat is in upright position the gathering from the sides get in the way a little. Wheels are good. It moves easy. Locking in the wheels can be a bit of a challange at times. But overall happy with it for the price.
Just good for under or up to 2 years – We had to return this pram back to store for 2 reason , (1) - our baby who is 2+ were having uncomfortable around legs area , and (2)- unfortunately there was no canopy in the box( Seams packing issue or something happen) , Anyway also we felt this stroller bit bulky in weight and size , But apart from that good thing about is it got two way… Read more
changing face mode means you can run stroller in two direction ( one facing baby and one from back )
Did not use as I return so can't say about smoothness.
WORKED GREAT!!! – i loved this pram, was such a great pram was a great price and has great value was great for the quick trips to the shop, and walks was great from birth loved the reversible handle was great pram overall and it is easy to maneuver was a little bulky but was easy to close and open
good value for your money – Easy to maneuver, good quality and I have used it for 2 children and still in good condition. Great size basket for shopping and strong enough to hang bags and doesn't tilt, but I would still be careful not to add too much. My friend bought one and she said it works better than the top of the range which she spent hundreds of dollars and didn't work as well.
Absolutely love this pram! – I was first intrested in this pram because of the reversible handle, love the fact that it has multiple reclining for the seat and lays pretty much flat. The hood covers almost everything so it stil blocks out the sun whilst I'm facing my baby girl. Love that the 4 wheels all moves.
Great for younger babies – I have found this pram to be fabulous when my son was younger however once he was sitting up I found it doesn't sit up quite straight enough. The sunshade is a bit funny too as it won't stay put halfway, it either has to be all the way or not at all. Apart from these 2 things it has been great, the basket underneath is a great size and folding up/down so easy
Good features but bulky – A reasonable pram really. Has some features that more expensive prams don't have like an extendible zip down sun visor and the reversible handle. This feature sold me on the pram. If the sun is in bubs eyes, just one simple motion turnes the handle around so pram is facing other way. Folds away fairly flat, again in one simple motion. Although… Read more
it is not lightweight at all, like the product description states.
Downside is it is really hard to push on anything not flat cement. Pushing on grass feels like you're pushing a truck. Reversible handle, sun visor Not lightweight hard to push
Love this pram! – i'm extremely happy with this pram, I love how all wheels can turn around! and you also have the option of locking either ones! I've had this pram for 7 months now and have not had a problem except my boot is a bit small and have a bit of trouble getting it in and out. but on the other hand it's easy to put up and easy to put down!
collapsed with baby in it – I used to be very happy with this pram have used it with no issues since my girl was first born she is now 11 weeks n today I pushed on the handle to go up the tiniest bit of a gutter and it collapsed with her inside almost sent her flying out into cement Am now extremely paranoid bout using it again as I don't want my little one getting hurt capsule fits in perfectly collapses when push on handle
Okay. Be careful – Biggest issue, the head of the pram appears to be solid. IT ISN'T. It is in two pieces, with a gap. If going up stairs items can fall out the apparently solid closed back of the pram section. Make sure baby is strapped in, there is nothing but he straps stopping them sliding out. Very scary.
terrible and disappointed – I have had nothing but bad luck with this pran from faulty wheels , sunshade broke and today my handle snapped by going down stairs holing the front and handle making my 5month old son smacking his head on the floor !! Not safe for newborns at all .. I will not ever get this brand of pram ever again !! And geting refused refund !! storage basket faulty wheels , handles broken , everything breaks
I have one too and I love it, but as the manual states, as it does in all strollers & prams manuals… Read more (+1 reply)
I love my pram :-) – I went through 5 prams since my son was born 6 months ago and I am so glad I found the childcare vector. It is so versatile and easy to use and steer and folds up nice and compact with out having to pull the pram apart like you have to do with the expensive fancy ones. I was attracted to how easy it steered and the reversible handle sold itself to me. easy to steer, reversible handle, great design, sturdy, extendable sunshade with mesh.
Decent – I had previously got given a 3 wheel pram from Kmart but was extremely unhappy with it and then I purchased this pram as I wanted a reverse handle one so I could see my baby when we were out. It's great! Very comfy and my bub has no hassel with falling asleep in it. Basket is a good size and wheels aren't that hard to lock and unlock. It's a bit… Read more
bulky but you get that when you purchase prams that are a bit bigger then most. It folds easily although I have to put it up before getting bub out of the car as I can't do it whilst holding him. Good product considering I was on a tight budget, I love it. reverse handle, inexpensive, easy to fold A bit bulky

Terrible – We went through three of these strollers before returning it for a refund as the wheel assembly was faulty. The wheels wobbled all over the place, and the hub cap type parts of the wheels kept falling off. The size of the basket and storage pocket is good, as is the adjustability of the seat and comfort features, but if it can't be pushed and… Read more
steered effectively these become moot points. The manufacturer said it was a bad batch- but who knows? Reasonably priced. Wheel assembly is dodgy- we bought and returned three of these before we gave up and got a refund.
That's strange the manufacturer said it was a bad batch,I love the one I have, most people just… Read more
Excellent – Very happy with this stroller, it is great value for money. We take the stroller everywhere, bubs is happy and Dad can use it too! Reverse Handle is great, good for a 1st time mum to be able to see baby and then when baby is older to turn them around so they can watch everything go by. Also really handy if you do lots of walking in the sun and it… Read more
gets too hot, you can flip them around to face which ever direction the sun isn't. Very easy to adjust directions and all 4 wheels swivel and lock which helps for being able to turn and manoeuvre the stroller. Sometimes the wheels lock when the stroller is collapsed so before using always have to check which wheels are to be locked or unlocked.
Good – Apart from the pram being so heavy, i have found it to be a very practical pram, with a big enough basket underneath, different levels for baby to lay down or sit up comfortably, also has a good amount of padding. I love the reversible handle, to keep sun out of babys face. Stylish and simple colours. Have to lock and unlock the wheels everytime… Read more · 2
you want to change handle over. Quite heavy to get in and out of car when on your own. Also you need to use 2 hands to fold pram down and put up, especially when baby is in one arm.
I do not like this ram at all. I am currently trying to swap for a different one – I bought this pram a few months ago. i have only just started using it as i have a new born. i can not use it at all. the canopy does not stay up on this pram so my baby has zero sun protection. i had to pull it up 18 times just on the short walk to school. The wheels are stupid and have to be adjusted every time i swap the handle over. the canopy… Read more
is what has dissapointed the most though. no sun protection means seriously crap pram. easy to fold down. No sun protection as canopy does stay up. keeps folding down. wheels have to be adjusted every time you swap the handle. cant get to basket.
Good – i have had this pram from the day he was born, he used to sleep overnight in it until we got a cot as the seat could lay down. i have found it to be very comfy for my boy and he has no problems going to sleep in it i chose this pram mainly because of the handle. you can have it so baby can see you or so baby can see in front, great for sunny days… Read more
as you can change it to face out of the sun This pram is so heavy and awkward to get in and out of car, im on my own so i find it very difficult to set up
Bad – So far I am very disappointed with this stroller. There doesn't seem to be a lot of value for the dollars spent. I really liked the idea of the reversible handle. The swivel wheels work well with the stroller in the forward position With the handle reversed, the front wheels would not work correctly and so made this function impractical. Very… Read more
bulky,heavy and awkward to lift and assemble without assistance especially in those early days after birth. I also found it difficult to reach easily into the basket under the seat.
September 2012 I eventually worked out how to lock and unlock the wheels in either front or… Read more (+1 reply)
Bad – I thought this pram was great because of the reverse handle. But it is huge, heavy, and just plain annoying. Hard to get up gutters, or to lift at all. Wheels wobble too much. Really bulky even when packed up, I can only just fit it into the boot of my car. So if you have a small boot, don't bother! Reverse handle to see your baby. Heavy. Really difficult to open. Doesn't close very compact. Barely fit in the boot of my car!
Terrible – Needing a shoulder operation already i bought this pram when i was 6 1/2 months pregnant, thinking it would be pretty easy. Apart from the fact that it's hard to put up and down, the worst thing is the wheels. I spoke to someone from Childcare, who told me it was normal for the wheels closest to you, (baby facing you), to turn into each other, at… Read more
a v shape. He also told me that i shouldn't be pulling the pram backwards anyway. Obviously he's not a parent who goes shopping in those small aisles, where you have no choice but to go back. I love being able to flip the handle over so i can look at my baby. The wheels turning in on themselves and the constant crab walking. Hard to put up and down.
