Has anyone got this or seen it in the flesh?

It looks like it might work well for me, I'm interested in basket size and whether it's ok on gravel/bits of grass/up and down kerbs.

I can't believe that there are zero mumsnetters with this! Someone must have it, surely?

Hi! I'm also looking into this stroller but it's not being released until the end of this month, so will need to look out for reviews after this month
Hope that helps

Sorry just realised its the green not available til the end of the month, the other colours are available.
I'm also surprised to find no reviews yet online !

I am using one of these on holiday at the moment. Basket is amazing, fits a backpack easy and really easy to get stuff in and out of cus the seat isn’t 2 inches of the ground! Been down the canal with it and on some rougher paths and its fine. Rear wheels are big and wide. Thin fold is good too easy to slip of the way when you’re not using it as it stands up on its own really thin.

Thanks, seems pretty decent then!

I have had this since it came out (in pink). I really love it. It's lovely to use and feels sturdy for such a compact stroller. It doesn't fit in the over head compartment on the plane but it has a large seat instead. The only negative I would comment on is that the hood doesn't come down very much, so not much coverage from the sun.

This stroller is lovely, and folds away compact leaving space in the boot. However our wheel has come off whilst pushing my daughter 3 times now. The third time this happened was after the stroller had been sent for repair by Mamas & Papas. I will be returning for a refund!

We bought this buggy when it first came out in May 2024, buying a brand new model is always a bit of a gamble. Unfortunately we had to return the first product after four weeks, and now we are returning and refunding the second one after the same time period.

It's a great compact buggy, but it is seriously let down by the foot break, which I think is just a bad design. Even when it was brand new it was not that easy to release. To do this you flip it up with your toe... this function got stiff very quickly both times, to the point that it is difficult and painful to release it by foot, we have to bend down and use two hands.

To their credit, m&p's were very happy to refund or send a third one if we wanted to persevere. The Libro has a lot going for it... the flat recline is great, folds up easily and tiny, the wheels are good, the storage below is generous, mesh panels on the hood.

I compared our break to some other brands to be sure we wanted to refund; the Bugaboo Butterfly is incredibly easy to release, even when loaded up with bags and a toddler, so we will probably upgrade to that next. It's just more than we wanted to spend.

ps. Don't buy the cup holder for the Libro, it has a very low weight limit, no hot drinks, and the fixture is not strong enough, it snapped. I'd recommend a 'clamp' style universal one. Hope this is helpful!

I wanted to like this pushchair and the warranty was a big bonus selling point. However, I hate it! 🤣🤣 like @h3vs mine also had issues with the break and after just 4wks it was impossible to unlock once the foot break was down. I had it repaired which took 2wks and i've had it back 2wks now and the break is playing up again. It's not stiff yet but won't move straight away...you lift the break up and for a split second you can't move the pushchair.

I find the shopping basket a bit of a let down too. It's quite useless. The back is only 1 inch high so keeps very little from slipping out the back if you lift it up a kerb or try to get it down off the bus or train! The leg rest isn't very sturdy either and won't stay up. The slightest knock and it clicks back down again, despite needing to press buttons either side.

I agree, it does fold very easily and isn't that heavy. It's also good for sleeping as it does lay flat.

I got the Butterfly in the end and really love it. Sounds like I might have made the right choice!
