'NOT TOO BAD!!'
Strengths:
Loved it in the pram mode very cosy and comfortable
Weaknesses:
but have found the straps very restricting in pushchair, we have got them on biggest setting already and babe only 5months will be having to by bigger straps soon.
Overall:
would not buy again very expensive for what you get.

'JURY STILL OUT!'
Strengths:
Good as a pram. Easy to push and good mobility.
Weaknesses:
Handles don't extend very far so you can bang your feet on the wheels (I'm only 5'10"). Access to the storage is limited. Foot muff is awkward to fit when in pram mode. Not the easiest to assemble and collapse and make sure it is all clicked in!
Overall:
It's okay.

'LOVELY AS A PRAM - NOT SO GOOD AS PUSHCHAIR'
Strengths:
Really nice to look at and push as a pram, good shopping basket, good choice of fabrics, easy to fold. Love the cityscape fabric
Weaknesses:
Chasis quite wobbly as a pushchair, looks huge as a pushchair, baby facing away,
Overall:
I loved this for my newborn but hated it as a pushchair - looks big and bulky. Also the straps don't come from the shoulder and when you've placed your baby in the pushchair you struggle to get the straps from underneath them. Because of extra padding if baby has a big jacket on they look squashed in - same with primo viaggio car seat - totally squashed. Would not buy similar again.

'PRETTY GOOD - FAB FOR A NEWBORN'
Strengths:
Rear facing for newborn
Takes a car seat too
Very lightweight for a pram
Not as flimsy as a stroller
Padding looks comfy
Zip on rain cover
Step so an older child can hitch a ride
Weaknesses:
Quite big when folded
Handles rather than bar
Pushchair is not rear facing
Car seat (primo Viaggio) does badly in Which? car seat safety report and looks uncomfortable.
Overall:
I think it's excellent for a newborn (until sitting age) but after that- not so good.

There are some great bargains on eBay especially from foreign sellers. I paid 280 euros (about 200 quid) for a brand new one but there are a lot of used bargains available too.

'NOT AS GREAT AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.'
Strengths:
Light, easy to fold and manoeuvre around town.Can be used as a travel system.No need for another lighter stroller in a few months time. Can stand up on its own for storage.
Weaknesses:
Expensive, can't put baby rear facing. Bulky (takes up a lot of car boot space).Small shopping basket.Raincover doesn't go over the car seat when used as a travel system, you have to put up the hood of the pushchair so the baby can't be seen.Doesn't look overly comfortable, I had to buy a padded seat to put over it.
Overall:
As buggies go, it's not terrible, but if I was starting over again I wouldn't choose it.

'OKAY BUT THERE IS BETTER'
Strengths:
Will grow with the baby and all in one piece not several different bits to fix together
Weaknesses:
Does not take baby long till they are facing out and away from the adult as no support for them when they start to want to move or sit up a bit. Takes up quite some room too (bulky)
Overall:
Would be better if there was a way that the buggy could face both ways and that in rear facing the baby could sit at different back height levels
