The concept:
If you're looking for a buggy that's a little bit different but won't
break the bank, then you should definitely consider the Micralite. It's
sleek, aerodynamic design, no-nonsense foldaway system and the fact
that it's one of the lightest buggies on the market, have meant that it
has gained a popular following over the past year or so.
In action:
The big selling point of this buggy is its one-handed foldaway system,
which means that in theory you can pull it shut and pack it in the boot
of the car whilst carrying your baby. Another useful feature is that it
stands upright so it's easy to store when you're not using it - though
how many of us actually fold up the buggy when we get inside? If you're
anything like me, you have so many blankets, bags and bottles in and
around it that it's just not worth the effort!
The various workings of the buggy are fairly self-explanatory: there's
a pull out, detachable hood that's got a 'window' so you can see junior
while you're pushing him or her around; there are two seat positions,
which you adjust with a handle at the back; and a headrest that's
attached with Velcro so it can be removed. The two rear tyres are
pneumatic and these can also be removed for storage whilst the front
wheels can be fixed in place or left free moving, depending on the
terrain.
