Mamas & Papas Skate

I think this pram is great i was disappointed to learn their was no parasol however i have found that their is at this website www.classiechassis.co.uk

I have checked this is correct as mamas and papas will tell you their is no parasol avaliable and it is and i am purchasing one.

We chose this because of the features mentioned by others (pram/pushchair, height adjustment and handle adjustment, travel system, forward/rear facing etc). I love it! It's very easy to push and steer, easy and quick to fold up and put into the boot and I use it all the time (including in the house) with the car seat on it. We haven't used the pram/pushchair that much and I'm hoping our daughter won't grow out of it before we get some good use out of the pushchair mode but she's a long baby and the car seat is so convenient. All in all, stylish and easy to use.

Excellent pram. I love the fact that the seat becomes a pram and all seat adjustments, handle height adjustments and storage tray under the seat. Overall good quality, just annoying some times when you want to lift it, as it is heavy... but everything else, is excellent. Well, one more thing I dislike, it can be a bit narrow and tight space for baby... hmmmm

We bought this on account of the height adjustment facility and pram to pushchair all-in-1 mode. The design is fantastic; the quality of the manufacture not as good. I had a replacement chassis after 6 months as the brake locked (common fault apparently) and this has been fine. Mamas and Papas were so embarrassed they left us for nearly 2 months with no repair (we were provided with a hire chassis in the meantime) they didn't even bother chasing the factory but gave us a brand new one in the shop. The Skate does carry loads of shopping and is superb for adjusting if your baby falls asleep or wakes up and wants to observe the world once more as there is over half a dozen seat settings forward and backward facing. This is in addition to the handle and frame height adjustments. Very easy to get out and pull up and put back into your boot (providing it is quite roomy). If not wheels come off. The only thing is my daughter is quite tall so not sure how much more wear we will get. She is one next week and her head almost touches the top of the hood! Also there is no footmuff made by Mamas and Papas (probably as the pram is relatively slim so the canopy cannot be buttoned up with one anyway) and no unmbrella or parasol designed to fit the chunky handles. All in all great design and easy to use but you have to provide your own solutions in very cold and very hot weather.
