Mamas & Papas Pliko

We used the pliko p3 alot when my first was tiny so for about 3/4 months, and then reverted to a more lightweight stroller. My first was an angel so never used the clip in car seat feature may have done if no 2 had come first as he is not so angelic... also compared to other strollers its not very manoevrable. Found the carseat very heavy wish we had bought a maxicosi. As have had two kiddies close together have had to buy a double now - phil & teds so wish we had just bought this in the first place.

Perfect from birth, bulky for a toddler. Wouldn't buy again.

Great value. We used the carrycot as a bed for the first few months and it made it so easy to go out and about as DS basically stayed in bed!

Car seat was great too, easy to click in and out of the car.

The only downside I'd say is when we used it as a buggy. I didn't think it looked as comfortable for DS. So when he reached about 7 months we bought a cheap, simple buggy and added a fleece lining which has been great.

Will defo use the pilko again with number 2!

An excellent purchase. We used this with our first daughter from birth to just before age 3. One of the things most important to us at birth was for Lucie to be lying flat and facing me, for comfort. Not having a car during the day, we did lots of walking, and I wanted her to face me, so we could chat. We also needed the system to fit in our boot (we had a very old Nissan Micra) and this was the only one that did. When our daughter was that bit older, we adapted it, making use of the pushchair element. We never needed to buy anything else, as it was sturdy, and I did not want a flimsy thing. It was useful for country walks (well stony lanes), and we loved it.

I quite liked it at first, relatively easy to set up and collapse on my own, takes up a relatively small amount of space in boot compared to some. I found changing from cot to seat a bit fiddly, as was changing it from seat to carseat compatible, and putting the raincover on was s bit tricky. I also found it quite bulky to push after a while, but perhaps that is because I used a sling most of the time. DH however thought it was 'fine'!
