Mamas & Papas Urbo
A very stylish travel system that looks fantastic and performs brilliantly

Our Review

Reviewed: 18 March 2010 by Claire Spreadbury
The Mamas & Papas Urbo is all about street style. With its clean lines and sleek minimalist look, this travel system will certainly get you noticed around town, and its performance is none too shabby either. People are practically queuing up for the new Mamas & Papas Urbo, a beautifully designed ...  Continue reading

I absolutely love this pushchair, I first bought a silver cross freeway pushchair and it was very large n bulky, it was a nightmare to put up and down, so I decided to get the urbo in lime jelly, an I think it Continue reading...

Have had so many problems with this stroller that I wish I had never bought it. I am currently on my 3rd replacement stroller due to constant issues with the wheels locking/sticking when trying to maneuver it. Continue reading...

I bought the whole system believing it would last me a couple of years, it didn't even last a couple of months of light use. It really wasn't worth he money and i am now left with a range of accessories (rain c Continue reading...

The urbo is perfect for me. If you want something that you dont struggle lifting, pushing and putting together than i would definately recomend it. I never bought the pram connection and just used the car seat Continue reading...

The urbo is a fantastic pushchair which I will happily recommend to anyone. It comes into its own when shopping in large centres or supermarkets and is brilliant for having in your car as it fits with ease. The Continue reading...

I'd LoVe one of these ... after babystyle muck up left me robbed of GBP676.00 & strollerles. Article about to feature in newspapers about how bad Babystyle Head Office's lack of due care was & their poor support. I recommend Mamas & Papas over oyster for sure. Buy the good brands who give great support to customers. BraVo Mams & Papas this is HOT FuNkY & I SO want one.

I'm just about to go and pick up a replacement Urbo after 3 weeks.

The front wheel is broken and keeps sticking and locking - it's only going to get worse.

 The pram itself is great for around the city - I live in London.

I'm still suspicious that the replacement will have the same problem but am willing to give it a try. If it's another fail then I'll be getting a refund and looking elsewhere.

Hi All

Just to warn you on this.  I ordered an Urbo travel system from Mamas and Papas on 19th June ready for a September delivery as my baby is due on 6th November.  I still don't have it and they are still out of stock.  They are not able to advise when the Urbo will be available despite promising mine was in the "next delivery" since September.  Mamas and Papas customer service is terrible, you can only call and leave a message and then they call within 48 hours.  I've paid for it and all they say is "well, we'll send you one when we have them in stock.".  I would never buy from Mamas and Papas again.
