£35 buggy 'is better than designer rivals'
By Sophie Borland
A buggy that costs only £35 has been voted better than many expensive designer models in a survey of parents and experts.
The Mamas and Papas Mamu Mu1 scored 76 per cent in the satisfaction rating, placing it second in the league compiled by Which? magazine.
It came second only to the Maclaren Techno XLR travel system, priced at £295, which scored 77 per cent.
The Mu1 was praised for its "exceptional value" and for the fact that it was "very compact, lightweight and easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces".
The tests determined how easy the strollers were to use, how comfortable they were for the baby and the person pushing, and how manageable they were once folded down.
All were road-tested by parents and their children while some criteria were assessed in laboratories and others by a panel of experts.
Designer buggies such as those favoured by the rich and famous did not fare as well, however, and were often deemed impractical despite their high prices.
The £770 Stokke Xplory, owned by the Hollywood actor Russell Crowe, scored 59 per cent and came last out of 21 pushchairs.
The £555 Bugaboo, favoured by the actress Gwyneth Paltrow and her singer husband Chris Martin, fared only slightly better, gaining 69 per cent and 11th place in the rankings.
Which? said that the more expensive all-terrain pushchairs were often difficult to use in crowded spaces.
They are supposedly ideal for parents on the move and can be cheaper than buying a separate carry-cot, car seat and pushchair.
But the report said: "They are usually heavy and very bulky and difficult to turn in tight spaces."
