Is there much storage?
Our tester found that the amount of storage was reasonable for a small shopping trip or for running errands and that it can just about hold a standard sized changing bag – it passed the changing bag test with flying colours with our tester’s toddler sat in the seat, but was a little wobbly without a passenger. For this model, we think that most parents would probably find it easier hanging the changing bag over the handles of the buggy to free up the basket.
How easy is the fold?
The Mothercare Nanu Stroller collapses well. It’s certainly not the easiest fold we tested, but for its price it does more than an adequate job.
As with many buggies, there is a bit of knack to getting it right, but once our tester figured it out, she soon found the collapse to be easy and quick.
When folded, the buggy is compact and easy to lift, although we would recommend that it is propped up against a wall to make sure it’s safely stowed away.
How much space does it take up?
As an umbrella stroller, it stands tall when compact, so is a great option for those parents looking for something slimmer or for those who need to store a buggy in a small area such as a hallway.
How does it look?
The design of this buggy is one of the reasons why it scored so highly, because, aesthetically, it’s very much a head-turner thanks to the iconic Little Bird design – an established favourite with many parents.
Bright, bold and colourful, the buggy is absolutely lovely to look at, simple but stylish, and is ideal for those parents who like the vintage or retro aesthetic or are already a fan of the popular Mothercare range. Apart from the design of the fabric and the colour of the frame (yellow), the Little Bird Nanu is the same as all other pushchairs in the Nanu range.
Our tester received many compliments from people when using it and loved how it looked.
Can I get the Mothercare Nanu stroller in different colours?
The Mothercare Nanu is available in a number of other colours and designs (although the Little Bird print is our favourite).
Is it easy to clean?
Our tester found that the Mothercare Nanu buggy was easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth or wet wipe.
Is it good value for money?
Absolutely! We believe that the Mothercare Nanu Stroller is amazing value for money and the best buggy available for under £75 to £100.
This buggy was one of the cheapest we put to the test but, overall, was one of the best, receiving impressive scores in all categories from our experienced tester.
For less than £60, this lovely little buggy performs well, looks fantastic, is easy to clean and has everything you require from a simple buggy.
It doesn’t have many features so if you’re looking for something fancier or with ‘more bells and whistles’ than this probably isn’t the one for you. However if all you need is a basic buggy, then, trust us, you won’t really go wrong with this.
We think it’s the perfect buggy to take on holiday, use day-to-day for simple trips like the school run or even have as a grandparents' spare.
