Has anyone bought one of these? Would be interested for feedback - positive or otherwise. Thanks

I've got one for ds (5 weeks).

It's heavier and more bulky than thought it would be in the shop.

Love the pram position but it's not huge and guess ds will have grown out in about month (he's quite a big baby though).

can't be pushed easily one handed. Small shopping basket.

But I still think it looks good and build quality and comfort of baby seem very good. Also does bumpy ground well.

This is my 4th pushchair - tried to get one to meet all my needs - I don't think it exists!

We went for the Freeway instead in the end - we think it will last longer.

Hi, I have one for my dd who is 15 weeks. There are things I like and don't like about it.

The pram insert is great, really cozy for newborns but it is very small. She filled it up really quickly, we had to stop using it a few weeks ago and she was only about 13lb then.

The footmuff/liner for the pushchair is lovely, nice and soft and warm.

Agree with loler it is quite heavy especially lifting in and out of the car and the shopping basket is really small. I do like it but wished I had tried out others before buying.

I have this and agree with lolers points.
It is quite weighty and bulky. If you have a small car check it fits in the boot first. The pram position is cute but my LO hated laying in it (shes really nosey!!).
Its great that the carseat fits onto it, although I've found that it seems very long in this position.
Shopping basket worse than useless- can't get much in it.
Definitely hard to steer with one hand.
Pushchair mode is great even for small babies. My DD is nearly 12 weeks old and quite small (10lb 11) but can sit comfortably and securely in it.
Not a bad price really for pram, pushchair and carseat, and a reliable and well known brand.

It is impossible to get anything in the basket when in pram position unless you undo the clips which is a bit of a pain.

But it is nice to look at, we have it in Sofia.

Cons:

When you put the carseat on the pram the raincover won't fit over it.

You can't fit the carseat in the car with the hood on it, so if it's raining/windy etc it's a bit of a pain to put on and off

As soon as the baby starts moving the car seat footmuff thing can be easily kicked off so only good for very early days

Pros:

Good as a pram, lasted for about 5 months but I had a little baby!

Handles height adjustable if you're tall

Folds easily to fit in car etc.

Can't think of much more but generally I like it

Thanks for your comments. Think I'll probably go for this as other models I like won't work so easily in a flat.

I was going for this but have now decided on the Mamas and Papas Pilko pramette which is similar but you can buy a base that fits in the car that carseat just slots into.I am getting it from ebay shops who are undercutting mothercare and co £150
