Bebe Confort Loola

I had the loola up so that I could push with one hand as was hand holding a toddler. It was very heavy to push though. Despite being umbrella fold in one piece which was an advantage it was still quite large and took up a lot of room.

To change to rear ward was a bit of faff but it was simple enough to clip in. The covers were easy to wash but the hood clips were quite loose so the hood would fall out easily.

The basket was a reasonable size so i could fit enough in there. It has a good suspension on the buggy.

I would say it was reasonable pushchair but not the best that is available now if you are just looking for the rear face factor.

Wide, heavy, awkward to steer and get through narrow spaces. Bought from a friend, or I would have demanded a refund.

Lovely buggy a little awkward to steer. Very comforable and faces both ways.

Bought mine second hand so didnt pay full price, just as well or I wouldnt have been impressed!

All in all, some good ideas, but some really annoying things which meant I sold it again within 2 weeks of buying.

Its really wide, very heavy, the frame is rickety and sways (even on the new ones) the handles arent high enough, in rear facing mode the seat sticks out 3 inches from the frame meaning I kept hitting my shins, impossible to get up kerbs with a toddler in it, and cant get anything in the shopping basket!

Oh, and the front swivel wheels have a mind of their own. Only good points are its rear facing and seat is large enough for a 3year old without looking too cramped.

I looked at a lot of pushchairs before deciding on the Loola Confort Up. I've been using it now for 4 months and found it really good. I'm tall and I found many pushchair handles too short. This one has different heights which is perfect for both tall me and our baby's short Grandma to use. It is quite a heavy puschair, but then is stable and I found one of the easiest pushchairs to steer despite the weight (even compared with 3 wheelers). It has a lie flat facility which is great for new borns and plenty of room for growth for older babies. Very comfortable seat. I bought one of the first versions of the Loola Up, which turned out to have a design fault with a too short harness. However Dorel who manufacture the pushchair will send out a replacement harness free of charge if you bought one and are affected by this (new versions don't have this problem). I read some reviews about the shopping basket being difficult to access, but I haven't found this to be the case and feel it may have been the original Loola that had this problem. Overall I have found it a great buy. The car seat clicks onto the frame easily so great for a young baby, can just use this rather than waking them to swap into the pushchair. Also easy to fit into the car - I didn't bother with the extra car seat base. Easy enough to fit the seat belt over the main car seat. I also didn't get the carry cot, as the pushchair can lie completely flat I didn't see the point. It wouldn't be a good puschair if you use public transport much as it is bulky when folded and fairly heavy to lift, but if you mostly do car journeys or walking then fantastic.
