Great stroller – I bought mine in 2009, and within a week had to have the hood replaced as it went out of shape. It folds up really well and I can take all of the fabric parts of for washing - you just have to be patient and work it out as everything has press studs to hold it in place. My grey hood broke so I wrote to the agents and got a new one in red … Read more
which is waterproof (I think its from the Luce pram) but looks great - it's a bit rickety (the stroller) and could be better made but all the same I love it and now it's for child no 2. Folds easily, looks good. Could be better made
OK – The easy fold option and the great styling makes up for some of the quality issues. I owned a three wheeler before this and would never go back to bulky, heavy, awkward prams after this Lightweight, easy to fold, looks very smart, great handling. Excellent length sun cover. Fabric could be easily soiled and not all the fabric parts are washable
Excellent – This is a fantastic hybrid pram. I am surprised to read about poor quality and warped hoods in the other reviews. I have experienced no such circumstances. I absolutely love the folding mechanism, and I love this hood. I've had mine for a year and 2 months and it's still in great condition. The wheels are a really good material, witha bit of… Read more
"spongeyness", but very durable. I have to correct one thing in other reviews- I can take all fabric parts, including the hood off with ease, and have had success washing them in lingerie bags on gentle cycle in my machine on 3 occasions in the past year, and they look as good as new. I wouldn't put the hood in the washing machine, but hand wash it in the laundry tub, so I'm not sure why other people have had trouble removing the fabric covers. I am expecting a second child and can't wait to use the facing inwards pram setting. I really enjoy pushing this pram, and especially love it's capacity for storage. It has evolved as my son has grown- from an inwards facing pram, to a supportive upright stroller. I think the larger wheels are cleverly designed- you get a smooth ride on any surface. You know, I've even wheeled in on Bondi beach.The pram still fits through the narrowest of aisles, it's deceptively streamlined even though the wheels are large, it's as narrow as any other umbrella stroller. I chose the red colour over the denim one because the red fabric is more waterproof, not just cotton finish, and I haven't regretted this decision. I was considering buying a Peg Perego Pliko, as it has the same fold up mechanism, but the fold on this is much smoother, and this pram is lighter and more streamlined. For me, the most stand out thing is that this pram is a slim portable bed with excellent hood coverage that I have seen on no other pram. I highly recommend it. SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!! Good for one child, but not 2
Bad – Overall I am not very happy with it. It is very cheaply made. Because of the poor quality if feels like the whole stroller is going to collapse while I am pushing it. The fabric part of the seat gets very dirty very easily and it is very hard to clean. The left handle on my stoller has broken and now I can't fold it down. I have only had it for 7… Read more
months and the store at which I purchased it will not replace it or give me a refund. I do not recommend this pram. Light, easy to fold, affordable. Back wheels are not very wide which makes it easy to take anywhere. Very bad quality, the handles rattle and shake, hard to clean as you can't remove fabric parts. The canopy doesn't sit right so you have to constantly pull at it to make it look right. The viewing window on top doesn't have a cover to block out the sun or make it dark while the baby sleeps.
Bad – A funky looking pram but the canopy warps far too easily. Unfortunately not a quality product. I wish it was because it is so good looking and easy to fold and unfold. Easy to fold up, light weight, attractive design, can have baby face you when in bassinet mode canopy warped. Had to have it replaced 4 times before finally retuning the product and… Read more
getting a refund. Also, when in bassinet mode it did not lay completely flat, so babies head was lower than feet.
Excellent – I wrote the first review on this, and here I am continuing to praise the functions of this wonderful pram. I take back what I said about quality- it's very sturdy, especially compared to the peg perego pliko. The operations on it are so smooth. I saw people watch me with impressed looks on their faces as I quickly collapsed it to make room in a… Read more
cafe last week. No kidding, it took one second. Many months down the track, so many features have helped me to go out for long periods of time with a toddler who is very comfy in their pram. He still sleeps so well in it because it reclines completely flat just like a bed. I also take back what I said about storage, it's more roomy than i thought and I have done large grocery shops with pram alone and no other people/ trolleys. You have to be skilled in how you put things in and hang off the pram, but it's working great. The detachable safety bar is awesome. I relied on it a lot when he strared crawling and hated being stuck in a pram. I actually put him in facing me sitting up. back against the cushioned bar (which I'm sure is unsafe), but it allowed him more movement, gave him my eye contact, and allowed him to play with toys in an enclosed setting. Now we have removed the bar and put the foot rest up a bit when he sleeps so his legs don't dangle over the edge ( since he's not so little anymore). I owned a bugabbo frog, and maclaren vogue, a steelcraft prolife, and this is the best. The full canopy shelter is still one of the most outstanding features. I would like a cup holder and more pockets. Also the clasp for the storage basket slips out at times, but I made a velcro clasp, and this fixed the problem. I love this pram. EVERYTHING!!!
