Silver Cross - Pop

Awful piece of crap. The brakes were useless - never stayed on, so I could never let go of the thing for fear of it rolling away. After a while they'd randomly apply themselves while I was pushing it along, stopping it dead momentarily so I'd walk smack into the back of it.

You need 2 hands to unfold it, so useless when you live by a busy road with steps up to your house - meaning you have to unfold it by the roadside whilst hanging onto a toddler with a death wish. Impossible.

I have found the straps really annoying, they constantly come apart so that you have to thread them back in again before strapping up and most annoyingly the waist straps are just not long enough and end up digging into my 18 month old. Has any with a similar problem managed to find longer replacement straps? The wheels also squeak and the hood keeps coming off. Until recently my daughter frequently looked slumped in the seat (only bought when she was 12months old). Overall not very impressed with this stroller and wish I had spent a bit more money and got a better one. Only positives would be how little room it takes in my boot and how easy it is to manoeuver in shops.

Shopping basket too small. Most annoying thing...harness too tight around the waist of my son from one year old! Very difficult to find a 5 point harness to attach to pushchair when using footmuff

I love this pushchair :) Had a Micralite Fastfold Newborn for the first 6 months but it's too bulky to keep using now. This one looks good, its fairly light and easy to use and the shopping basket is a reasonable size to pick up a few bits in town. I would say that the chair doesn't recline enough for a newborn but one they're a little older its great for a nap. Only downsides are the break catches when you bump down steps, its not very easy to push with one hand and the shopping basket is useless when the seat is fully reclined!

It's only good if you mostly drive. It's lightweight and small. If you walk everywhere, it's rubbish. The shopping bag underneath is tiny, only big enough for a carton of milk. Wheels are small, which makes it a bumpy ride for the baby. You can't manoeuver it with one hand, so if it starts raining, you can't use an umbrella. If you have any steps to take to your house, the brakes on the wheels always catch, and you can't just wheel it up, have to lift and pull.
