Hi

We brought the mircolite stroller, as a smaller and more portable stroller to be used as an alternative from our main and much loved Icandy peach. We use it when we go on holidays or out for a day that involves traveling. (as we have a dog and it helps on boot space)

Our 1 year old, does find it comfy.

It is very very easy to use, and it is very light and easy to stear. The off road is very good and robust so it really is a great out and about stroller option.

My only slight negative is that whilst i know it is comfortable i do not think he looks as comfy in the recline position as he is in the i candy but then they are different types of strollers so i guess this is not fair.

Additionally whilst it is very light.. it still takes up a fair bit of space in the boot, and you have to remove the wheels (which is very simiple) to make it as convient in the car as we wanted it for.

So i would definately recomend this as a more portable holiday, getting away stroller vs the main stroller

It is what it says - very light but robust, comfortable for awake time, it is so easy to steer and manover around.

It is a great purchase.

I had the newborn carry cot for the fastfold which is very comfortable for baby, there's a proper mattress so it can be used as a travel cot as well. Very bulky system though and not very portable! The carry cot does not fold so the pram took up the entire boot of my clio, and I still had to remove the parcel shelf! Also it's not easy to fold as the carry cot adapters have to be removed first.

It came into it's own as a pushchair, looks really funky and the rain cover and sun shield have their own bags for storage which is a good idea. It's big back wheels make it very easy to control and it stands on its own when folded which I've never seen before! I still found it quite heavy and it takes a bit of manoeuvring to get it in the car. It's also a little unbalanced and heaven forbid you take the baby out of the pushchair without removing all bags from the back first (including nappy bag)!

We've moved on to a simpler, lighter, stroller now but we did get 6 months good service out of the fastfold. I would recommend it if you're not driving every day!

I have downgraded to the Super-Lite from a Bugaboo chameleon as the 2 part folding was annoying me and I felt disappointing in the quality having loved the Bugaboo Frog I had 6 years ago, I was dubious about buying a pushchair that costs so much less than my Bugaboo and it still being able to do all the same jobs but more importantly was lighter and easier to put up and take down, so far I like it.

It can't be everything the Bugaboo is, it can't face forwards and backwards which I liked about the Bugaboo but apart from that it is very similar or better. It is so easy to use, very light and agile. The fold mechanism is good, a little trickier when the seat liner is in place and the fact it can tip backwards very easily (as can all of these style buggies) is a disadvantage over my bugaboo, the under seat basket is not very big, but the bigger bugaboo one is harder to get at.

The HUGE advantage this buggy has over ALL the others of this type is the big wheels at the back, you can easily get over gravel, snow, sand etc The canopy is too small in my opinion and does not offer any real protection, if it came with the sun and bug net as well as the Rain cover(which it does come with) it would be better, but I'm just going to attach my shade-a-bub. It is a real shame this does not come in any girly colours, I would certainly buy a Bright Pink seat liner if they did one!! Overall Quite impressed but it is only 1 week...... My daughter is only 11 months I am not sure it will last until she is 4, but then again the lazy little blighters should not need one then, I think 3 years is long enough to be being pushed about (my son certainly did not miss his original Bugaboo Frog when he turned 3)

I chose the Fastfold for my second baby after one of my friends recommended it to me. I have to confess it was the look of the stroller that first attracted me as I wanted something very different but I was completely won over by the manoeuvrability, ease of use (you really can control it with just one hand) and the fact that I could fit it in the boot of my very small car. My parents bought me the All Terrain Kit wheels when we went away on holiday which meant we could literally take it everywhere! This is a no-nonsense stroller that does exactly what it says it does!
