'GOOD PRODUCT WHICH OFFERS EVERYTHING WE CURRENTLY NEED.'

Strengths:
Very lightweight - makes it easy to put in the car and lift up and down stairs etc. The cot is lovely (esp if you add a sheepskin!) and doubles up as her travel bed. Its very easy to turn - has a very small turning circle so great for shops and town. Great back wheels, big and useful for going down steps and over rough terrain without turning baby into scrambled egg! Like the adaptability of it and have used it with the wheels in different places - muddy forest and shopping mall. Love the fact that the seat/cot/carseat can face you or away.

Weaknesses:
Price - seems a bit silly to price it so high - but hey, we still bought it! The cot is placed quite low so the baby feels quite near to the floor - but you get used to it. The chassis is quite complex - a couple of times I have had a new mum blank moment and not been able to collapse the frame. For the price you don't get a foot muff which is a bit tight - you have to purchase that as an extra - and also the carry basket under the seat is super small and tricky to actually access with the cot on - design flaw i think.

Overall:
Great product but probably not worth the money. However, I wanted something with the ease of movement of a three wheeler, with big back wheels and a non fixed seat option so baby can face me and away and it seemed to be the only product which ticked all the boxes. So we paid a ton of money for it and I really like it! I think it will suit us for quite some time.
