Amazing Travel System!

Compact, ease of use, extremely smooth, good quality, just need one hand to steer

Just the middle part of the handle that has some scratches on it..

I've had this travel system for over 8 months now and I don't have a single complaint! Folding, I agree does require a few attempts but once you get used to it, it takes no time. I love how I can steer it with one hand because its so smooth and light.

Good but flawed

Good build quality, folding mechanism is clever, decent materials so it's comfy & feels nice and solid to steer & push around.

The problem with the wheel design having no clearance for leaves and twigs leaving it so vulnerable to jamming is inexcusable. The fixed carry bar and poorly located poppers for the cover add up to making it awkward to use day to day.

Reviews on this site have been quite positive but personally, we're a bit disappointed with our Strawberry.

The folding mechanism is great, the stroller feels solid, is nice to push around and bubby always looks comfy in the carrycot. However, there are a couple of things that really let it down.

Having just hit autumn we've discovered the front wheels are designed in a way that results in their being very prone to becoming clogged & jamming with leaves and twigs. This can happen just walking around leafy paths & pavements and worse, once it starts to jam it's almost impossible to access where you need to clear out, which means a walk around the park can become a nightmare.

On top of this, the poppers for the carrycot cover are awkwardly located behind chassis bars. The cover has to be removed every time bubba goes in or out so it's a real pain. Also the carry bar for the cot blocks your view of bubba and again, has a mechanism that’s stiff to operate when you want to remove it.

Overall, these all add up & we just feel for the money spent we can’t really excuse the basic flaws in the design, so I’m afraid to say we do regret the purchase.
