I have bought it a week ago and it works a treat :-) It is the quality you expect from Maclaren strollers.

Design is fab. Manouverability is simply awesome. The lightest stroller i have pushed even when loaded with shopping. The quality of finish and comfort of handles is simply outstanding. It also folds really flat and the clasp that holds it in a folded position is much better than Maclaren's, leaves no gaps and the stroller does not open up even for an inch. Also, reclining of the back is designed for one hand job. Much easier than the strapps and even easier than Maclaren's solution. When fully upright, baby's back position is fully upright too :-)

the straps... yeah, it takes some getting used to as they are attached to the seat completely differently to anything we've seen. My DH thought at the beginning it's a fault when we looked at it in the store but started playing with it and realized it's not :-) it's actually quite clever solution as you only extend / shorten the straps at the top and to extend the waist you need to push the buckle clips up.
The hood could extend further forward in my opinion as when in upright position smaller kids have problem with getting shade especially if the sun is low.

Overall it's a fabulous practical product.
