Mamas & Papas Urbo

[Honeybee79]

Hi
Has anyone used one of these? How did you find it and is it suitable from birth without the carry cot? The M & P website says it is but the lady in the store told me it wasn't!

It appeals to me as it's small, easy to get around and light . . .

Any views?

Thanks

I bought one today- the seat unit does lie flat so if you're happy with yr baby in lie flat seat rather than carry cot I guess it would be fine. My LO is 3 months and I'm happy that it's flat enough for her.

I know some people prefer newborns in carry cots, I guess it just depends if you are someone that does...

I have looked at loads of pushchair/prams and went for this in the end because it was the only one I could find that faced both ways, folded when facing out, was easy to put up/down, relatively lightweight at 9kg (compared to my current one that we were given), narrow enough to get on the bus and was NOT a bugaboo bee. I know they are great, but apart from the expense for some reason I just don't like the look of them. Everyone else in London seems to have one so I guess I'm alone!

HTH-the Urbo is on offer until midnight tomorrow with 10% off. Not a massive amount but it made it £283 which seemed pretty reasonable for what it was.
