  • Canopy falls back

In order: love at first sight from looking at the pics , reality was a little different though :-)

The bassinet was great and spacious, but used by us for 4 months because the little one wanted to sit. The car seat was fine, just the canopy didn't always make a perfect shade. The seat unit, well, ok. Too bad it was used the longest out of the three :-/ Now my 2 year old daughter founds it too small for her feet.

It has to be disassembled when one wants to wash everything; the canopy itself falls, at any time, backwards. One has to have a screw with them – and tighten... The chassis is great, although it was used in the snow and also had quite a lot in the basket quite often. 3 times repaired brake - I did it myself :-) One time a bent wheel went in for repair, but that was after a heavy shopping trip (5l powder, fabric softener and some groceries). Bag was not much in terms of functionality - I even had to sew a strap back on. The seat's buttons (snaps) don't snap well, one is in for a bit of a hassle. The colour is faded from the sun :(

For the money I would have expected more... Therefore, my overall impression is - good, but average.

4.2/5
