'LIGHTWEIGHT, GREAT TO JUST SHOVE INTO THE BOOT, LAYS FLAT!'
Strengths:
Sturdy, lightweight, easy to fold, good on rough terrain
Weaknesses:
Can to a pain to get shopping into basket when baby is laying flat but I manage to squeeze bits in!
Overall:
A must from newborns to toddlers, lightweight sturdy pushchair, can lay flat and the hood almost covers the buggy and keeps the wind/rain away from childs face. Also great when sunny as hood can lower to keep sun off baby. Also has added UV protection. Really good raincover easy to put on in a hurry! My baby loves peek-a-boo through the see through hood. Great over the park, ample shopping basket. Most of my friends have one now! Also look around and most mums etc have a Maclaren you really can't go wrong with this pushchair and really good buy too! Believe me I see these mums struggle with all these clip on types and am so pleased I did my reasearch, by the time they have put their little one in the car I'm probably nearly home! I put my son in this from birth and he's now 8 months, I do not need to upgrade (thankfully) to another pushchair - all in all I would gibe this one top marks!

'A FANTASTIC BUY'
Strengths:
Adjustable handle height, suitable from birth, comfy head and harness cushions, lockable wheel adjustments that you can do with your feet, fully reclinable
Weaknesses:
None that I've discovered - okay, everyone has mentioned the small basket that is difficult to reach when the seat is fully reclined but this is a stroller!!!
Overall:
Dare I say it, but this is so easier to use than my proper pushchair/pram which is slowly becomming redundant despite having cost nearly 3x the price of this stroller! I keep this permanently in the boot of the car for when I'm out and about as it's far more portable. It's easy to collapse, easy to stear, has a great handle height which prevents me from stooping (as so many other stroller users do). Highly reccommendable.

'LOOKS GREAT AND PERFORMS REALLY WELL!'
Strengths:
Really light, easy to move around, easy to fold up and out and fits easily into the car.
Weaknesses:
Shopping basket is a bit small.
Overall:
Can be used from birth as the seat is fully reclining, it comes in great colours and doesn't give me back ache and god knows what else when pushing it like others have in the past! Its very popular among my group of friends who all find it really easy to use! Great for taking on holiday! Really good value for money! Would def recommend it!
