Bebe Confort Streety Travel System

I was over the moon with the streety when i first purchased it however my daughter is only 7 months old and the front wheels have almost worn out completely.

It is also very difficult to get up and down kerbs. Thought I was getting a decent pushchair at a bargain price in hindsight I wish I had spent more as the quality is not up to scratch

I am having the same problem at Beruti, the straps are digging into my 13 month old daughter, I have had to buy a thinner footmuff as when the footmuff was on the buggy i couldnt do the straps up. I am very disappointed, i heard that you can get longer straps for the loola so i emailed maxi cosi and they replied that there is no problem with the standard straps on the streety and asked me how much my daughter weighed! She is still in 9-12 month clothes and only on the 25th percentile so I cant believe i am probably going to end up having to buy another buggy next year. Good for the first year but unless you want to have to buy another after a year then avoid!

For under £200, this a great pushchair.

PROS:

- Folds and unfolds easily.A very compact chair. Great for travelling (car, plane, train... where you need to store it away, fold it and unfold it quickly). and to keep it at home if you live in an appartment.

- From birth. You don't really need the carrycot, which often pushes the price up by £200!.

- Baby can be looking forwards or backwards. A must for the first 6 months.

- Big basket. Good if you are out and about on foot.

- Lightweight. One of the lightest chairs from birth. Not as light as a Mclaren, of course.

CONS:

- Fabric is not waterproof. You'll need to travel with the plastic all the time.

- It is low and handle is fix. If you are tall it won't suit you. For 1,65cm tall mum is OK. 1,75m dad finds it slightly uncomfortable. You will need to go for Bebe Confort Loola or Loola up if you are tall.

- Doesn't negotiate kerbs very well. Because the handle is not very long, it has a bad angle to get of the kerb by pushing down the handle.

- Car seat fits on the car with belts. Base is bought separately.

- It gets heavy with a one year old, and you will be dreaming of a lightweight McLaren...but that's the case with most chairs suitable from birth.

This chair is one you should consider if you are a mum on the go and will be travelling a lot (for example flying, and going by foot).You are not tall (otherwise go for the Loola) and don't want to expend more than £200 pounds.

I logged in to see whether anyone else was experiencing the latest problem that I've encountered with this pram: that the harness is SO tight now that my son (13 months) is clearly really uncomfortable. How on earth can they say it lasts until 4 years? Is there an additional strap one can add on to the harness to lengthen it?

We also had the usual problem with the back wheels, which we sent back to the manufacturer. Interestingly, they've not replaced them with the same kind of wheels, but rather ones like the front wheels. So far, so good. Like others, I also find the rain cover infuriating, just impractical that you can't simply fold it back or have any way of getting to your child while it's on.

We selected this pram because it is super light and small, but having had it for a year now I have to say that its many defects outweigh this advantage, not least the fact that if the harness can't be extended, my son has effectively outgrown it already.

I spent a long time researching the best compact pushchair as I have a very small car and the Streety seemed to tick all the boxes. It also folds down with the pushchair attachment in it so I figured I wouldn't need to buy a stroller later on. When it arrived it was like Christmas :) and I couldn't wait until we were able to take our son out in it. Our son looks really comfy in all the attachments, car seat, carry cot and pushchair. The snuggle toes attachment for the pushchair part is really coming into its own now the cold weather is setting in, it does slip down a lot but I just attach the harness and then move the whole thing up whilst he's in it. It's easy to push but you do have to push down on the foot hold every time you go up a kirb which is a little annoying. We have also encountered the problem with the back wheels, the right one has worn right down to the plastic hub but as soon as we informed Kiddicare they offered to send out a replacement wheel unit. Overall we are really pleased with our choice and our friends are always shocked at how easy the chassis is to put up and pack down and how compact it is. I would recommend this product and hope that Bebeconfort review the design of the back wheels.
