Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

Fantastic fold, excellent and compact/light. Very easy to transport. Great uv50 protection from hood. Great viewing panel and lovely big basket. Very easy to manoeuvre. Lies flat so great for any age.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

Perfect buggy for travel without compromising on baby's comfort. No fuss leaves mum stress free when getting in and out of car.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

It is quite a pricey pram considering it does not come with accessories such as a rain cover or cosy toes, I feel these should come as standard.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

This pram is amazing and I fell in love with it as soon as I got it out of the box. It’s the easiest pram I've ever used, its super lightweight, it folds so small that it will fit in any car. I have been recommending it to all my friends since the day I got it and have even bought one.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

This pram folds super easy. It is so small it fits perfectly in my boot with weeks full of shopping too. It steers really well and you can easily steer one handed too. It is very lightweight and so it’s nice to go for a stroll around quickly. I don't want to ever have another pram and wish I knew about it before I bought my first few prams.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

The main point I would change is that if you have a buggy snuggle in the pram when you fold it down it doesn't fold as easy and you have to move the snuggle aside to get the handle. Also the rubber on the handle can get a bit sticky if your hands get warm. The seat straps come apart easily so each time you put the child in the pram you have to put it back together.​

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

Love this buggy, full recline, huge uv hood, smaller fold than ever and still doable with one hand plus a great hand applied brake.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

It's so easy to lug in and out of a car, uses a small amount of space at home and is great for travel.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

Include a raincover, and the flip cover button can be tricky to release.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

The design is great and the huge hood and lie flat make this a perfect toddler buggy.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

Easy to fold, small to store and great for holidays and public transport because of its ease of use.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

Please include a raincover and if your boffins could make it two-way facing that would be a dream come true.

Tested by dad Mark English for the M&B Awards 2016:

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow parent?

It's a lightweight, easy to push nice-looking stroller.

How does this product make your life easier as a dad?

Easy to fit in a car, lovely big basket and full recline to provide sleep time for tired toddlers.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

The fold is tricky for big hands like mine.
