Are Cosatto (Cabi) pushshairs so bad?

[Mummybear72]

I realy like the look and feel of the Cosatto cabi and have found some good deals online. However have read a few reviews which suggest similar Cosatto Mobi has lots of niggles with parts and Coasatto customer service variable.
Anyone got Cabi and can comment on thie expereinces good or bad would be much appreciated.
Cheers

I know someone who had one but only very briefly. It was awful to push with the seat rear facing, has a small seat unit and is awful to get up kerbs. The zips that secure the seat fabric on the frame were coming away in a few places (despite it clearly having hardly been used by its previous owner) so I didnt really rate the quality either. My friend bought it to replace her loola as a cheap rear facer (she hated pushing the loola!) but sold it after about a week as she thought the steering was very heavy, it didnt fold small like it said, and it wasnt particularly light.
Oh, and the carrycot is TINY. Like grown out of it by 12 weeks tiny.

Oh I actually love my Cabi...I bought mine at the Baby Show in May. It came with a 4 year guarantee, so I wouldn't imagine the company would offer that if they expected lots of complaints??? It does actually fold compltely flat. It's much lighter than other brands of the same type of system. I heard a few people on the stand at the Baby Show saying it was alot lighter than other brands they were originally going to go for. They sold hundreds at the show (I overheard the girls talking). The Carrycot is a standard size and my little girl looks like she will be in it for another couple of months yet and she's 8 weeks. I like ow unique the designs are aswell and I always get comments. I've also got a Maxi Cosi carseat that I had already and I got adaptors to go with the Cabi so I can use it on the frame.

I love my Cabi. The carry cot isn't any smaller than most other makes. The frame folds flat although as the carry cot/pushchair part is removed it obv takes up quite a bit of boot space. I've had no probs with it & I've pushed it through snow for weeks on end, over bumpy ground & it's generally been pretty heavily used over the last 8 months. The only similar pushchair I've preferred pushing is a Bugaboo which is a lot more expensive than the Cabi. The same as Porky I've also had comments on how nice it is due to the distinctive design. It is reasonably heavy but again no heavier than other makes of a similar style.
