Mamas&Papas Armadillo Flip stroller reviews, questions, dimensions

The Mamas&Papas Armadillo Flip is a higher version of the Armadillo. As its name (Flip) suggests, the seat is reversible. In the category of reversible strollers, it has one of the most spacious seats on the market. The seat is fully reclinable, however, it doesn’t feature a bumper bar. The large hood protects the passenger from the elements. You can fold the stroller with just one hand with the seat facing in either direction. The height of the handle is suitable for not-so-tall persons. In addition to a car seat, you can attach a carrycot to the stroller to create a full-featured system from birth.
