I love how this has a great free-standing fold with the seat both parent and world facing. I have a larger pram that I use for off-roading which has to have the seat removed to fold, which is a pain.

The fabric is of great quality, and the seat is a really good size. This pushchair is great value for money but is def suited to smoother terrain. The handlebar is hard, so it isn't the comfiest to push; however, I haven't gotten sores or blisters from it as I have from other pushchairs. The basket is a good size but isn't that secure; I wouldn't recommend loading it with lots of heavy items.

This pushchair is also very heavy. I was hoping to use it for holidays because it folds all in one and has a super large hood, but the weight does make me question whether it would be the best to take away with us. Also, the way the handle folds means you scratch the handle with very little movement; if you are buying it second hand, you will just have to accept that they are all going to have these marks.

Adjusting the straps is a bit of a fiddle and therefore putting cosytoes on and off requires a little bit of extra work. I couldn't find a GB cosytoes to match, which really annoys me. But I bought a universal one with a great colour match to my Posh pink Maris, and it fitted great.

Its a great stroller

I can recommend it; I'm happy with this pram. It works perfectly in the city. Bumpy roads are not the best use for this model, but the suspension is helping there since it's really nice. I am satisfied, I also love the brake (in any other pram I tried the brakes were just horrible).

  • Beautiful design
  • Unique and eye-catching, you don't bump into the same stroller on the street

  • Easy click-on system
  • Safe car seat
  • Telescopic handlebar of the 2nd generation
  • Center of gravity changes with the seat being positioned
  • Large hood (mainly when sitting) with huge peek-a-boo/ventilation window
  • Super easy fold
  • My tall husband is not a fan
  • I wish it would be lighter
  • The price could be lower
  • Pretty much no accessories included
  • The seat could be bigger, or at least its canopy higher
  • Foam wheels
  • The basket could be easier to access

It's a designer stroller that will get noticed. It drives well, the overall quality is incredible, and my jaw always drops when I look at it - it's a little jewel. It's, however, better for shorter and average-height parents, my tall husband is not the comfiest with it and also says it feels like a toy stroller. There are a few downsides, but that goes for any stroller you can possibly choose.

Overall, I needed something compact and truly original to underline my style, and I got something functional enough to go with it. I can recommend, if you, of course, take the disadvantages of a smaller urban pushchair (with a reversible seat) into account.

I can recommend it. A luxurious urban pushchair to make any mommy proud to push it.

The only plus for me is its look. We have used it for five months, and the folding mechanism of the stroller needed to be repaired two times.

Apart from that, the pram is for smooth surfaces only - it shakes the child terribly on cobblestones and other uneven surfaces, therefore, I can't recommend it. I wish some all-terrain wheels would be available. What also puzzles me is that we bought it for quite a lot of money and now I'm starting to find it on quite huge sales 🙄

I am using it for 3 weeks, only with the bassinet. It's lighter than my previous, robust stroller system. Easy-peasy fold done one-handedly. Beautiful design (we have it in black with grey pattern)) with a gorgeous matte frame. I adore the brake that doesn't cratch my pretty shoes. :-)

The bassinet folds flat, which is great since we have to transport it in the car from time. A negative for me would be the foam wheels, which, compared to my last stroller from before (it had inflatable wheels), feel harder to ride on. The suspension is, however, very good for the type. I also think the price was rather high, but since we're happy with it, I don't really mind that much.

Just what I was looking for. It is super compact, light, and functional - while beautiful and very fashionable. The accessories are a bit expensive, but at least they're also of quality.
