I chose this buggy mainly because of the price (it was discounted), and I am pleasantly surprised. I bought it as our last buggy for occasional use.
Despite two separate handlebars, it can be easily pushed with one hand as the chassis is sturdy and the handles are bent inwards. I am 173 cm, and sometimes when I am in a hurry, I kick the chassis. Even though the wheels are smaller in size, they are not doubled, so they do not rattle and pass also through uneven terrain. The suspension is weak, as with other similar buggies. It is easy to push even with a 17 kg child. The wheels' material is harder, stones can sometimes get stuch inside. I struggle a little bit with the brake, as sometimes it does not work at the first try.
The backrest is long enough, even for taller kids. Even my 4-year old (115 cm) has 1 cm space between his head and the canopy 🙂 The leg rest is strong and longer than in other buggies. The backrest can be reclined to an almost lay-flat position. The canopy can be enlarged and as such, sufficient even during the summer. Many parents will also appreciate that it has a peek-a-boo window. The fabric is typical for the Gesslein, a beautiful vibrant color. A big plus is a shopping basket that is surprisingly large and easily accessible.
Overall, I rate this buggy for its quality, sturdiness, and maneuverability, high - I'd give it 5*.
