Emmaljunga Cangaroo

Not what I expected for the $$$ – I purchased the pram with the intent of using it for future purpose. This would be when I learnt price doesn't always buy quality! I too had issues with the wheels they made a clicking noise the front tyre continued to fall off it went back twice for repair after that I was over it. The best thing about it was it was comfortable and a smooth ride… Read more

when it wasn't lopsided.

The sun shade was useless never stayed up folded down easily but awkward to lift into the car.

Needs review – I bought the pram when i had my first child four years ago. considering the money i paid and i thoughth the the pram would better then what i got. But i guess nothing is perfect. The front wheel kept falling off. I had the pram fix at the place i bought it under warrenty. But the wheel started falling off after a while and the stitching from the… Read more

back pocket came unstitched, i took back to the store which sent it to melbourne for a couple of weeks.

The pram then worked perfectly and i never bought another pram. The pram packed away down very easy for storage. It packs away flat but it is wide. But i don't mind that as my daughter was very uncomfortable when sleeping. The back doesn't lay flat, it does have a small incline.

Three years down the line and child number two, the back wheels start making grinding sound and need to be replaced, which took three months as the repairs go sent the wrong part from emmaljunga. and also cost $300.

Appart from these two issue the pram has been great. My kids have been comfortable, the could even bend there legs when sleeping in the pram. It is wide and pushes easier then some strollers, the material is good The wheels are a issue. The tyres are great. four years and they still look good

Terrible – The pram could be brilliant but all the problems have left us with an unusable dud! There is no toddler extension seat available, which is how it was originally sold to us and the main reason we bought it. Very Very disappointing. Easy to Run, walk at pace with in the first few weeks when it wasn't broken. Can fit a lot of shopping in it and… Read more

easy to walk with a dog in tow when it works and it's not leaning to one side, which is rare. My pram has been fixed so many times I have lost count. It is lopsided and the suspension is out of kilter even after it has been fixed. The right wheel rubs on the side of the frame making it difficult to use and my toddler has always sat lopsided in it. The front wheel has rubbed a hole in the carry basket and I have had this repaired about 5 times. The pram was expensive but has been non stop trouble since it had the pushchair on it. I have 2 other friends with the identical pram and they have all had the same issue. The store we bought it from - Babyland didn't want to know about the problems and ignored us since we started asking for help.

Disappointed – I had never had a three wheeler pram before though I had had two Emmalunga's previoulsy which were fantastic and lasted through frequent use and abuse. Then we bought the Emmaljunga Cangaroo for our last child and we found that there were many design faults. Made with beautiful quality fabric, and looks smart. I barely used this pram, I found it… Read more

difficult and frustrating to fold up and because of it's shape tricky to get into the boot. It seemed to break very easily. The front bar broke off and the front wheel is broken so that it can't be used as it tips to one side. The storage basket is badly designed as it rubs against the front wheel and wears out. I think more thought and testing was required on this pram before it's release.

Average – This was my first ever pram and i sold it within a couple of months as it was way to heavy and didnt fold down very compactly at all. It also didnt recline back very far. I wish i had have done more research before buying this. came with boot cover, nice material, good tyres/wheels very heavy, didnt recline enough, expensive for what it was

Bad – I expected more from Emmaljunga as we have had others of their prams but this one seems to have failed in the execution of the design. We test drove a Mountain Buggy but the Emma offered a smoother ride and it felt more 'solid'. Sadly, things starting going wrong with the Cangaroo very quickly and we regret not buying an MB or a Baby Jogger (we… Read more

have a BJ mini which is brilliant, but we also wanted a 'big' all terrain pram and I didn't know about BJs when we bought the Cangaroo).

All things considered, the Cangaroo is a good, solid pram but its faults outweigh its good qualities.

However, I suppose it was a 'first generation' pram, and hopefully the company has remedied the faults in the new city Cangaroo. Really lovely, smooth ride for the child; easy to push; big storage basket; tough fabric; wheels that don't need pumping; good suspension. Accommodates a buggy board easily. 1. Lopsided - leans to one side;

2. Basket gets worn very quickly as the front wheel rubs up against it when filled (unless you carefully pack the goods towards the rear of the basket;

3. Sunshade not very effective.

4. Problems steering it to the left, esp. with buggy board attached.

We had it 'repaired' under warranty but the issues returned immediately (leaning to one side, wheel rubbing etc).

Terrible – The pram has given my wife and I a lot of problems. We bought it from Babyland who conned us into believing it came with a toddler seat on the front, when we called to buy this seat, they told us it doesn't exist. Spacious carry basket. Constantly breaking. No one can fix it
