Marco Sky L

I bought this for my 2 mindees....and sold it again within a week. I thought it looked great and folded up nicely BUT it was very difficult to get up kerbs, and the handles are made for giants! I found them way too high. Also the harness clasp thingys are lethal, I caught my fingers in them once or twice, very painful :(. I was very disappointed because in theory its a great buggy, compact, sturdy and looks good. On the positive side though, the back seat looks lovely and cosy for a newborn,and the hood is huge.

I loved this when i first go it. I admit the handels are a bit high but for the weight and manovarbilty i loved it. It is recommeded from three months for the back seat but i used it from birth.

Now that my two are a little older (now 9 months and 24 months) I hate it. The baby is squashed in the back, he has no leg room and the seat is too narrow, if he wiggles he ends up suspended in the gap by the too long straps. Also it has a flat at the top which helps to keep a new born safe when it flat. This cant be removed and gets in the way of his head so he sits forward all the time to avoid it. Which cant be good for his back. When sitting up he is too close to my DD so he grabs her hair all the time. SHe is understandably unhappy about this.

The straps are too narrow, too long and easy to remove for my two year old. They are hard to do up and undo and i often get mine or my childs finger trapped in it, ouch.The front seat doesnt recline, so if she falls asleep she is bolt upright with her head lolling around. Also she keeps getting her feet stuck in the wheels, which makes her cry.

The strap to keep the wheels attached has broken twice in 8 months and i now have them attached with tie wraps. The handels are bent from stuffing it in the car as its so long and a big struggle with my fiesta.

All in all a waste of money and i hate it now. I use it as i cant afford to buy another one. This is the third double i have tried, and sadly this is still the best.

As a CM, of 30 years i have had a variety of Double Buggies.

The Marco for me is by far the best,I can go anywhere with it as it is narrow enough to get through doorways.

The wheels can come off to get it into a smaller boot as well.

Very tall, quite heavy but compact. Good for public transport - but not if it needs to be folded. Good view for 2nd child too.

A good double buggy, easy to manouvre around shops & small spaces, but if you're short it would be hard to control, as i'm almost 6ft & i sometimes find it hard!

The back seat lies flat so can be used from birth. The only problem i've had is that the harnesses can't be adjusted small enough & my 6mth old & 2yr old, can quite easily wiggle out of them. But a great double buggy & would rather have that, than any other the others.
