Good buggy if you want something lightweight and easy folding and for occasional use, not suitable for longer journeys and every day use. I had a maclaren for my second child who is now 7 and it was fab so i bo Continue reading...

Used it for both babies when young, and first child up until she was 3 (now on buggyboard). Keep thinking should replace it soon, but it just keeps going. Continue reading...

I bought this buggy as we travel a lot and it is hands down the best buggy we have ever had.  I originally bought the Pliko pramette from Mamas and Papas as it was the lightest pramette on the market but it soon became heavy and cumbersome when travelling.  However this buggy is fantastic - lightweight, folds easily, comfy for my son, has been on literally hundreds of flights, the basket is a good size and the handles are comfirtable for pushing the buggy for long periods of time.  The only complaint I have is that the rain cover is a bit tight and ours ripped with our son kicking against it.

I did go out and buy a tandem buggy as we now have a 2 month old daughter however it was too heavy and bulky and didn't travel well - the front wheel broke the first journey I took it on!  So I got rid of it and have reverted back to my MacLaren.  Once my daughter is old enough/big enough to use it, I will invest in a buggy board for my son.

This is fantastic buggy and I highly recommend it.
