The Raf-Pol Margaret is a classic, retro-style stroller system featuring a rocking chassis with large, fixed, air-filled wheels. The steel chassis is available in Chrome or in White and is reflected in the name of the stroller (you can find the stroller under either the Raf-Pol Margaret Chrome or the Raf-Pol Margaret White). You can also choose between white or black wheels. In addition to the basic design, the fabrics are also available in Linen version. The seat, the carrycot or the car seat with adapters can be added to the chassis in whatever direction. The shopping basket is complemented with a small, removable bag for your bit and pieces. The Margaret is also sold under the sub-brand Babylux.

Big wheels fit for winter

4
  • My little girl liked to sleep in it :)
  • The seat part is hard, we didn't like it

Nice colour. Comfortable bassinet. Big wheels fit for winter.

  • appearance
  • rocking
  • large basket (can carry really big loads of purchases)
  • positioning in the bassinet
  • unrefined details
  • too much plastic
  • attachment of the changing bag
  • the brake is fiddly
  • bulky seat unit

The strength of the stroller for me was the retro look and the rocking. I wanted a classic model, I got a classic one.

The stroller is really beautiful, I was often stopped by strangers on the street and listened how they praised the look. It pushes nicely, "the old fashioned way" - you have to lift the front wheels when you want to turn sharply. It can handle almost any terrain - even heavy snow. The bassinet can be reclined. The canopy has an extension, so even when it was drizzling, baby was dry.

But it's unpolished in a lot of details. It's kind of sloppy. A lot of things are plastic - I was worried about where I would tear something. There are only two positions on the bassinet positioning, there is no intermediate position. The bassinet apron cover has a "lift" or whatever you want to call it just for the looks, it has no practical function. In addition, the edges do not fit nicely - it's hard to describe, I would have to take a picture.

The changing bag attaches to the stroller with little plastic snaps on plastic handles, which are (especially in winter, with frozen fingers) hard to undo. Using the brake is fiddly - when I had nice leather boots, I was worried about scuffing them.

The seat unit has some weirdly unshapely canopy, in fact the whole thing looks unshapely. The positioning is hard to do - I didn't always hit the position I wanted until the second or third time I tried. I didn't use it for long though, after a while I switched to another pushchair. What I would want for the price though, right?
