Bought this 6months ago for our DD aged 2 and newborn DS. Doesnt lie completely flat for newborns but ok for very short trips and much better than using car seats instead.

Very narrow and lightweight. Both kids seem comfortable and have plenty of room either side of them. It Could do with a leg rest, especially as my DD (who is very small) often dangles her feet under the foot rest strap and drags it along the wheel.

Easy to fold and move about and store. When pushing over rougher ground it can seem a little flimsy and Ive had the odd moment of worry that it is about to snap. Having said this, however, it coped with us getting lost up in some woodland by accident (the path sort of petered out!)

Over all a very good buy and I would reccommend to anyone.

This is great value for money, and it is the only one I found that would fit through my doors.

Great. I got through 12 cosattos before I bought this one. I wanted a very light one and although the cosatto was lighter it wasn't nearly as robust and I returned it twice for faults.

This one has been fantastic so far. Lightweight and narrow.

However I do wish the seats would sit up a bit more. They are held with a strap rather than mechanics. But I guess that is partly why the buggy is so light.

The main reason I chose this pushchair was that is was the only side by side that fitted through our porch door - just about!

I feel that it is good quality and is easy to push and although I would always choose my silvercross pram for my baby's comfort, it has been ideal to take out with baby and tired toddler.

There was a query with the age suitability as although it states from birth, the instructions state 3 months however, Maclaren assured me that it was suitable from birth. I bought a soft head support and found that my baby was quite comfortable.

I would recommend this pushchair to others.

Love it. It's one of the cheapest on the market, is as narrow as some other brands and it feels sturdy when you use it. It has a small turning circle which makes it wonderful to use on public transport and feels good to push, unlike a couple of other ones I've tried. It's umbrella fold, and has a handy carry handle on the side which makes putting it in or out of the car much easier.

The baskets are small and difficult to get things into or out of, especially if the seats are back. Even though on the website it says from birth, the seats don't go right back and in the instructions it says from 3 months. Also because it's narrow, any large toddler (like mine) can look a bit cramped in it.
