I love the way you can take this pushchair to the beach, just make it two wheeler and you won't get stuck on the sand. Also, it's so confortable for baby to sleep, it even looks like a pram, very cosy and they can sleep there while you are out having fun. | | Weaknesses:
The fact that you can't fold it with one hand makes it difficult when you are carrying the baby and need to fold it at the same time. | | Overall:
Great pushchair, I would recommend it to anybody, material is great, comfort is excellent, and it looks very stylish. |

comfy for baby, trendy, easy to push | | Weaknesses:
where do you put your shopping? Fiddly to get down, VERY expensive | | Overall:
pushchairs are for transporting your baby around while you are shopping, out for days out, walks etc. When you have new baby you have loads of stuff to take with you EVERYWHERE - where are you supposed to store it all? I found myself pushing the pram and humping a gient bag on my back - not why i had paid all that money and also my very red sweaty cheeks didnt go very well with the trendy image of the pram! Soon got sut and traded in for a cheap maclaren which i adore! Note to self - pushchairs are not a fashion accessory they are a practical item! |

very easy to manourve and my baby looks very comfortable in it. Handle bar goes up and down - it has one of the tallest handle bars on buggys | | Weaknesses:
can be a bit trivky when you are firts using to get the hnag of getting it up and down - but once yopu do get the hang of it tis great - but you do need a big boot on your car. The accesoirries are expensive | | Overall:
excellent - most importabtly my baby loves it |

| | | Posted: 19/02/08 | | 'BRILLIANT' | | Strengths:
Can push with one hand, and turn on a six-pence! Very smooth ride for baby with the super suspension. Easy to fold up and down. Good size storage. Adjustable height handle. Take big wheels off in 10 seconds which makes putting in car easy. Comfy for baby. Used carry cot as bed for first 4 months. Baby can face you or forwards. Rain cover really easy to put on and can double up as make-shift car seat cover.Can get second set of fabric if you fancy a change. When baby is still small, you can put light shopping on foot end of the seat and tie on with safety strap! | | Weaknesses:
Stuff does fall out of bag when putting the frame up. Getting car seat onto adaptors is a bit tricky until you get the knack. Didn't buy accessories as quite expensive. They are everywhere - but there's a reason for that - they're fab. | | Overall:
Brilliant - would recommend to everyone. Although very expensive, it's worth it if you think you will be using it every day -which you will... |

| | | Posted: 17/02/08 | | 'REALLY EASY TO MANOUVRE AND ADTAPTABLE TO ANY TERRAIN.' | | Strengths:
-Easy to sleer even with one hand
-Comfy for baby and can be used for daytime naps
-Lots of features once you master the manual
- basket discreet and waterproof.
-really compact
-can fit int the tiniest of boots and very slim-easy to carry to and from car
- can use the maxiCosi car seat
- carrycot also goes flat
- can customise with lots of colours available
- robust
| | Weaknesses:
-Took a while to get used to
- can only have big wheels at rear as when they are at fromt i cant get up the curb using the smal wheels ( havent figured out the lock mode yet)
-adaptors annoying at first as have to hold a very heavy car seat whilst putting the adaptors on at same time
-basket akward to get to ( but just tilt the carry cot a bit when putting things in)
- expensive accessories-
- unfortuanaely this buggy is everywhere
-heavy and akward getting up and down stairs | | Overall:
I only got this as it was the only ravel system that would fit in my car and i was also limited with car seats . Wheels can be taken off to fit in the tineist of spaces. It is very light to sleer and great on all terrians. I also like the fact i can change the fleece and mix and match to be more individual and funky! baby sleeps everytime on walks so must be comfy. Overall i think this is best as a pram option as most babies once sitting will move on to a lightweight stroller which can be kept in the car |

the carry cot can only be used up to a certain weight,my baby was 5 month+to heavy,the seat unit wont go up to a 2 year old!a pain takin 2 bits apart when folding,even worse if raining as the seat cant go on the floor coz it will get wet!i find the basket a pain to get to.and have to admit they ARE everywere!!! | | Overall:
a good buy if your going to have more than 1 children,as long as there not tall!and it really does feel nice when your pushing it,and i thnk there well made,i have 3 children so have had a few prams&pushchairs to compere it to. |

| | | Posted: 05/11/07 | | 'TOTALLY AWFUL. ' | | Strengths:
It’s easy to move around the store and great if you visit the beach a lot.
It a bit trendy..but given how exhausted you are and how unattractive you feel, is this exactly your top priority at the moment?? | | Weaknesses:
Where to start: ( these opinions are completely subjective and my own. I suggest you try before you buy)
Biggest issues are:
1) You need different attachments for the car seat and the main carry unit so you are forever attaching and reattaching things. The shop assistant definitely did not show me this. He carefully attached and reattached the car seat and the cot without making it clear you need different attachments for each. You cant put the car seat in the car with the attachments still on. BE careful during the slick demo.
2) When you open the thing up, there is no practical or at least obvious way of achieving this without spilling the entire contents of a VERY small basket on the floor.
3) The catches on the side are really sticky and even after 5 months of use, I quite often find myself having to take 2 minutes ( a long time with a crying baby) trying to get the thing open.
4) When you have the cot in place you can’t get anything in the basket.
5) The bag that you can buy with it does not fit in the basket!
6) The umbrella that you can buy with it offers no protection at all
7) A friend of mine purchased the denim one, and the denim dye stained the baby and all of his clothes.
| | Overall:
personallly I would not buy one of these again. |

| | | Posted: 15/09/07 | | 'NOT BAD' | | Strengths:
comfortable,large hood to keep wind and rain away from baby.easy to push | | Weaknesses:
very big, even for a 4 wheel drive boot.when opening up it has to be laid on the floor flat down so it gets scuffed at the front every time no matter which way you put it up.dont like the new fleece fabrics as every speck and crumb sticks to it. | | Overall:
not a bad pram but could be easier and better regards folding mechanism to stop it laying flat to have to be opoened. |

| | | Posted: 19/05/07 | | 'LOVE IT :-)' | | Strengths:
Can change the colours, can face me or away, height adjustable hadle great for hubby as he is taller. reclines and bubs is comfy and sleeps well in it, good size basket. Sturdy, great to push, turns heads. | | Weaknesses:
stiff to fold when new, took ages to put together. | | Overall:
I love it, have several sets of covers so can chop and change, I never used the carrycot part as my baby was too big when I got it. I love it and recommend it highly. |
