Great pram! – This pram is really amazing! Very easy to use and the colour hides any stains. Easy to assemble and put away. The only problem is that when I used it for over 2 years it started to buckle while packing it away. So now the locking is jammed and its very hard to fold it in. Show details
Great compact stroller – This was our 1st stroller and we absolutely loved it. Pros: - Narrow and more compact than other prams, so easy to maneuver at the shops or tight spaces. - reversible handle, I didn't have to get bub out if I needed her to face rearward or forward. - comes with raincover - suitable from newborn, comes with newborn head support - lightweight - can… Read more
open with one hand - compact enough to fit in my hatchback -Great price
Cons: - handle was a bit short, fine for me but hubby struggled with trying not to kick the wheels - when at rear facing position, steering is a bit tricky.
Overall I love this stroller and how compact it is, I struggled when I upgraded to an interchangeable double pram.
Adequate but not great value – After having four older children, we knew what we were looking for in a pram when we unexpectedly took care of a baby. Pros like us need the following: Easy folding: It's not simple initially but once you get the hang of it it's not bad. All in one piece and fits easily in the boot: Yes to both. Basket space: Medium sized storage but falls… Read more
apart with any weight. Reversible handle: Easy to accomplish and done in the usual way. Nice big sun hood: Pulls over almost all the way. Not too unsightly: Love the colour. Reclines: Yes. Easy to clean: Bit fiddly. Bub can sit comfortably: My bubba kept slipping down as the fabric on the seat is slippery. There's no crotch strap support attached to the front bar either. So basically it's just the baby hanging down into harness. Not comfy. I actually felt guilt when we needed to use this pram. Steers easily: Wheels either all over the place or going in a straight line and not moving at all. Somewhere to put your purse and your phone: No. and forget trying to hang your bag somewhere. Value for money: No. Not at all.
Would I recommend it? No. I sold it because it was a major hassle. What would I buy instead? Safety 1st Tote Stroller Travel System at Target. Cheaper and ticks most of the boxes.

Would be perfect if not for wheels – I was specifically looking for a pram that is lightweight, easy to use, while still being good quality that also had a reversible handle. This pram pretty much checked all those boxes. It weighs about 7kg and I can easily lift it with one hand. I can also close and open it with a push of a button, whereas with other prams, I really struggle to… Read more
open and close them. There is also a reversible handle, which I love because it allows me to use in parent facing mode while bub is still young and then turn her around when we're ready. The handle is also very easy to reverse. The big let down with this pram is, as others have mentioned, in parent facing mode, it's hard to push as the wheels don't work properly, and I keep kicking the back of the pram. It is a shame, because if it wasn't for this, this would be the perfect pram to see me through the next 5 years. But as it stands, this is fairly useless in parent facing mode, which is what I need it for the most currently. A general word of advice to first time mums, please do your research on prams or you will end up with 5 different ones you don't like.
These went on very easily and the instructions for assembly/use are very detailed and – Had the stroller for about 3 months now. The stroller came mostly assembled with just the wheels to attach. These went on very easily and the instructions for assembly/use are very detailed and easy to understand. The stroller is very easy to move with swivel wheels at the front (that can be fixed in place) and breaks on both front and back… Read more
wheels. The handle bar can be adjusted at the push of a button so that you either face your baby or have him facing forward which is excellent. However, when facing the baby, i find the handle slightly to low for me (5ft 8inches tall) and i tend to kick the wheels when I walk. Perhaps a handle that was height adjustable could improve the design? I also found the stroller very easy to collapse and open with one hand so you can hold baby in one hand and fold/unfold stroller with the other. Its also very light and can be lifted in and out of car with one hand. Rain cover fits over the whole pram and is easy to fit. The recline settings are good and very easy to adjust without disturbing a sleeping baby. My baby is 4 months old and it is perfect for him but I also plan on using it for baby number 2 from newborn. Over all, very happy with the stroller
Great lightweight pram for newborn – I bought this stroller because I had a big, wide, heavy Strider with my first child and wanted something light and small and not too expensive suitable for a newborn. The sales assistant explained because it's a light pram it is best for flat, smooth surfaces like shopping centres and not great outdoors on uneven terrain. This was fine because I… Read more
had my Strider to use when going for walks. I was also happy that the handle could be reversed so I could see my baby. It has now been 4 months and I think this stroller is great. My baby is happy lying in it for shopping trips, easy to open and close one handed (but does take a few practices at first), and in forward facing mode easy to push one handed. But it is not perfect. When handle is reversed to see baby, steering is very difficult because front wheels are fixed. Also, in this mode I find the wheels are closer to me so have to take care not to kick them while walking. In forward mode my only complaint is that there is no viewing window on top of canopy. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and it has suited my purpose of a light, reasonably priced pram for a newborn.
Positive reviews
Top notch and fantastic price – Purchased this years ago based upon price point ($99), easy of use (folding, lifting, space, storage, maneuverability), light weight, and the ability to flip reverse the stroller to facing/away. Absolutely the best stroller for it's price point, both on sealed paths or rocky ones, the weight (light) has been amazing (esp not being strong), and doesn't take up much boot space. Has been a dream, and we're still using it to this day!
Great – I have been using Mirus for my boy since he was born until now(2 years). It has been working well, easy to fold, light weight. I can travel with my boy by the bus or train easily-. However , it is hard to roll when convert handle to rear, feel like the wheels stuck.
Best purchase I ever made – I saw this at the baby and toddler expo before it got to Australia while pregnant with my first baby and I couldn’t get over how easy and straightforward it was to use and collapse I’m very pragmatic so the practicality of this stroller appealed greatly to me loves the one handed collapsing feature and the multipurpose conversation of the system my girls are older now but we still use it now and then for our youngest.
Negative reviews
Disappointing – There are a lot of positives about this pram but unfortunately my general feeling is that its really poorly made. I had the wheels replaced because the brakes stopped working (after my son had a massive crash!). However I've noticed that all the buttons and moving parts are very stiff, ie. the belly bar gets jammed a LOT. Overall, I would not recommend it, much to my disappointment. Show details
Worst stroller – The stroller when moving forward works well but when using the reversible side it is not at all smooth and does not go straight, plus the tyres got bent in only the second use . Show details
Didn't work for me – A couple of things that I really liked about it was the very light weight and the super easy folding, other than that it wasn't the perfect choice for us, bubby didn't like it and generally me neither, the narrow space between the back wheels were not comfortable while pushing it and also when the handle was reversed the steering was very awkward. I ended up with buying another pram.

Not too good – I bought this pram for my 1 month old baby after reading all reviews and i needed one with reverse handle. But not too happy with my purchase, the biggest fault is i cant manouvre/move properly and easily with reverse handle mode bcoz tge 360 degree swivle wheels come to back and the front wheels dont turn 360 degree. The secobd biggest fault is… Read more
my legs keep on hitting the wheels and i keep on trying/ feeling to move on side of pram and push. The pram is said to be light weight but seems quite heavy to me while moving it in abd out of car. Besides the only good thing is The ease to fold and open.

Our child loves this pram – The only thing to complain about is the silly instruction book that's 50 plus pages long and mix from pictured to written instructions. The pram is a good price entery and has a great turn on the wheels. The other small issue is the handle could be a little longer for those with longer arms like me
Hard to assemble & wobbals – We got the redish version of this pram & The pram is a good entery level for price but the only issues are putting the wheels and parts together as the manual was 60+ confusing pages with pictures at the start and English at the back and was printed on normal a4 not in a booklet! The second issue is it's shocking while walking at normal pace it… Read more
wobbals left right an lastly the handle is to low for me I keep almost kicking the back of the pram so over all good for price and looks but sucks on assembly and walking
Very good for the price – We chose this pram because it was 1. within our budget 2. Lightweight 3. I can fold and unfold it using one hand (it was tricky holding a baby and doing this in my old pram) I noticed though that it is not as heavy duty as I want when we went to Ashcombe maze, it was difficult to use it in non concrete paths. I wish the wheels were bigger and more sturdy- that would have made it perfect.
Good stroller – Is it easy to maneuver? Yes it has great capacity to maneuver How easy is it to fold, unfold and carry? Very easy to fold unfold and carry it's the easiest I could imagine a stroller could get. Are you happy with the build quality? Yes very happy overall one thing that was a little disappointing is the wheels and inner lining. The wheels are not what you get on a pram and the lining doesn't fit my little one yet.
Does a pretty good job for a cheap run-around pram – We bought this hoping it would suit a newborn all the way through to toddler. No real need for offroad solutions just walking around the park and on footpaths. It did the trick but it wasn't perfect - the settings to lay back were limited, the wheels don't run too smoothly and it wasn't too long before we upgraded a little more to something that… Read more
would work harder for us and manage grassy terrain a bit more efficiently.
Not bad value for money if you want a more cost effective solution but an example of getting what you pay for. An extra $100 saw us with a much more superior model.
Bad – Horrible do not recommend!! Bad steering when reversed handle. also Your feet hit the wheels. Very disapointed, but other than that its actually good light to cary easy to fold. Love the idea of reversed handles but its horrible, nice colour & little storage at the bottom. Its great when facing the handle foward but i like to keep an eye on my newborn.
Not great, not awful – Pros : very lightweight - I've carried it up and down flights of stairs with my baby in it easily, compact and easily folded - I've folded and put in the boot with baby in one arm, folds upright which is handy, reversible handle - quick and easy and easy to manoeuvre when outward facing, compatible with capsules, lies almost flat and one side of… Read more
the belly bar can be removed, so you can change nappies if needed, relatively affordable (I bought for $330 at Baby Bunting but you can find up to $100 cheaper online).
Cons : materials feel cheap and not particularly sturdy, harder to manoeuvre in parent - facing mode, taller people will kick the wheels when walking, small wheels mean they can get caught on imperfect terrain, baby is quite far from you when lying down without capsule (which means during the newborn period they can't see you as they can only see about 20cm away).
Would I get this again or recommend to friends/family? No, probably not.
Affordable and meets the needs of new parents – easy to fold with just a push of a button, and assembling it took me less than 10 minutes. Will be really helpful for new parents as myself as it fits the bill for a first time parent wanting to get the best available product for their baby. Would recommend it to anyone
Great light weight pram – I bought this pram for my second child, i was looking for something that was light, easy to maneuver, compact but looked nice. This pram gave me all of these features and more. Being light weight is what drew me to this pram after the first pram i had was so heavy. I love the reverse handles, even though my boy is now 18 months i still use it when walking to move the sun off him. Great pram, so glad i found it

Great compact pram – This pram is light and compact. Very easy to fold/unfold with just one hand. We even brought this overseas. However when you use it as reverse facing, it is a bit tricky to maneuver because the wheels at the back which will be at the front for reverse facing is non swivel. I read from other reviews before I purchased this, if your taller, your… Read more
feet might keep hitting the wheels as you walk. I'm short and petite and yes it does sometimes if I'm walking too fast and big steps. Overall it's a great pram, lightweight and compact, great for on the go.
So disappointed!! – I loved this pushchair for the first 6 months,I love how light weight it is and how easy it was to fold and store in my boot.I would have highly recommend it up until recently that is. Something has gone(mechanism)and it keeps getting stuck so I can't open it,it started off happening every so often and now it's all the time!I can no longer use… Read more
this pushchair for this reason and is only 8 months old!
I contacted the sales team and heard nothing back!!
Beware of bad steering when rear facing – Moves smoothly in forward facing but operates like "a wonky supermarket trolley" when rear facing. Possible to unfold one handed but a bit clunky. Switching handle to rear facing needs to be 2 handed. Still quite bulky when folded. Build and quality seems ok. Good that stroller allows baby to lie flat so you can change baby in the stroller if no change room.
Wonderful pram. Easy to assemble and so light – This pram is a delight to use. It's light and compact making it easy to take on public transport and navigate around shops with narrow aisles. Very easy to assemble and folds compactly to fit in car or storage. After four children this is by far the best pram I have purchased.
Great lightweight travel pram – This pram is great for travelling and keeping in the car. Also the price is very cheap! Worth the money for something so lightweight and easy to use. I keep this in the car as it's easy to fold and compact. it is also very suitable for newborn and toddler. I wouldn't reccommend it for all terrains as the wheels are small and can be a bit bumpy,… Read more
but we use another pram for walks etc. I have been using this for over a year and it is still in great condition.
Best stroller ever – This stroller is a stylish compact stroller with lots of room for baby. My granddaughter is now 18months old and i bought this from birth. Its easy to maneuvre and glides along nicely. It has a reversible handle and a hood that covers very well. It comes with a raincover which is a nice design and easy to put on and take off. It is really… Read more
easy to fold up and unfold just using one hand.
It has 3 positions and lies flat so baby can sleep quite comfortably in it. Its very light and can fit into a small car with ease.
I love love love this stroller, it will hold baby right upto 20kg but im sure that over that would be a problem. Its great and built to last. If you want a stroller that is efficient, comfortable, good looking and easy to use - this is the one....
Customer service is also exceptional when you call them they resolve your problem easily.
Cheap price and cheap quality – My 8 weeks girl doesn't like it, everytime she on it and she cried alot. The seat belt it different from normal, hard to use. I felt I wasted my money for this. To me it like a play toy, I recommend to buy something else same price but much different in quality (too late for me). It light and easy to fold, baby head support it cheap looking, hard… Read more
not soft not comfortable, I don't really like it. I want to have refund but sure I can not do that. Doesn't matter cheap price or expensive, famous brand or not, as long as your baby happy on the product, which mean it good.
A great stroller but one or two flaws – Overall this is good quality for money. It is lightweight and narrow enough to fit in most shop aisles and smaller spaces. It steers easily (I use it on swivel mode only, as I found the non-swivel mode a bit frustrating). Easy to fold although I would say it is not the easiest to do one-handed (I still generally need both hands to get it to fold).… Read more
Baby currently four months old and has always been quite happy and contented in this stroller. Definitely lightweight and a good option for those not wanting a 'clunkier' stroller.
The only drawbacks I have found and which disappointed me were that the pram chassis sits quite low to the ground (when in the parent-facing newborn position) and this made me feel a bit too far away from baby when walking, however I am used to it now. Also I was disappointed that it was advertised as 'lying flat' for newborns when it actually isn't a completely flat position.
Also, the wheels do not fare well on some rougher pavements surfaces and the pram sometime 'jolts' to the point where my baby will reflex, but overall it does ride pretty well on cement, grass etc.
I also have some issues with the hood as I find it does not provide complete shade in the bright sunlight, meaning I need to clip an extra muslin sheet across it to ensure my baby's eyes do not suffer from the sun's glare. Also since the hood's material is quite soft and light-weight, when the pram is in parent-facing position, the back of the hood always flies in and bothers my baby's head which means I need to clip it down even with the lightest of breezes. The other thing that is frustrating is that the advertisement for this stroller and one of the reasons I purchased it stated that the hood comes with 'viewing window' which to this day I have not been able to locate so I am not sure why it is advertised this way.
Ideal if using baby capsule too – Very few strollers are also compatible with a baby capsule but this one is without having to buy any additional accessories. Light weight and easy to fold close and open whilst upright, so great on your back. Used it with Joie baby capsule which was extremely helpful as baby could face me, the capsule and pram hoods could overlap to protect from… Read more
rain/sun but enough gap on the sides to still allow ventilation. Terrible to steer when not using a baby capsule but you want to flip the handle so baby is facing you, otherwise forward facing steering is extremely easy. When reclined flat you can still access basket underneath but with limited access.
Great Pram for Travelling the World! – Wonderful pram for travelling. I have a bad back and have been able to travel alone on flights with this pram. It can be folded with one hand, whilst holding a child, without bending down. It is super light and tough. Has survived cross country and multiple airports. I literally throw it into my car boot sometimes! The only draw back is that it's… Read more
almost impossible to use in the mode where the baby faces you. I bought a second hand Stokke for walking my baby facing me when he was young and left it at the front door. Also, once baby is about 11 kg I found the non adjustable height of the pram too low for easing pushing on non paved surfaces or long walks. If your back is a priority, you can't go past this pram!
It's Good For Its Price – This pram is perfect if you are seeking something light and easily set up. However the steering of this pram can be quite difficult, I purchased one in the beginning of the year for my daughter and I found it perfect however as she is growing and getting heavier, the steering has become more difficult. Which is a pity, as it steers perfectly fine… Read more
when it's flipped forward, however when you flip it so that you are facing your child it becomes very difficult to steer.
Very lightweight and easy to steer!! Highly recommend – I purchased this pram for quick shopping trips/outings rather than using our 'big' pram. I'm so glad I purchased this! I researched a lot for a lightweight pram that would fit a small car and came across the Joie mirus. My toddler loves sitting in it, and the seat reclines to various different levels from fully sitting up to laying down. The… Read more
hood is huge which is great for when bub is sleeping or it is very sunny or raining. It also comes with a rain cover.
The pram in general is top quality and for the price (i think I purchased it for around $220 including postage) it is well worth it.
The pram is extremely lightweight, you can fold it up with one hand just by pressing a button on the handle. It is easy to place in the boot of your car.
It is also great that the handle reverses so you can have bub face you if need be.
The only 2 drawbacks are - the basket underneath is quite small, it fits only a small nappy bag or a few groceries. I find hanging a nappy bag on the handle much easier as its a nuisance bending down for a purse/wallet from within the basket.
The other drawback is it is quite hard to handle when the handle is reversed. You get used to it but it is quite awkward to turn (due to the swivel wheels).
Highly recommend this pram!!!
This pram is perfect! – We love this pram! It is very lightweight and only takes a few seconds to open and close. The sun shade is very useful and covers the baby enough to protect it from the suns rays. I love going for walks and that the handles can be turned either way. Storage area down the bottom is good too, I can fit my bags when I'm doing shopping. Overall, I am very pleased with this pram.
