Stokke Scoot, Nuna Pepp or other?

I am starting to think about getting a lightweight pushchair sometime in the next few months. We currently have an icandy strawberry which I love, but takes up nearly the whole boot of my car! So am looking for something smaller and easy to fold as a second pushchair. The Nuna Pepp caught my eye as it seems to get good reviews and has won a few awards recently. Then today I saw the Stokke Scoot online, which also looked nice. I would like something that looks stylish as well as being a bit practical! I briefly had a Bugaboo Bee that I got very cheaply from eBay but DH wasn't keen, he said it was too low so I sold it on after a couple of months.

Any advice appreciated, thanks!

I really like the Nuna Pepp....I would definitely have another one. We just had no need for it because we have the YoYo (fabulous pushchair). My poor Nuna Pepp didn't get a look in!
This might help with the Strawberry v's the Scoot. There's another set of photos with children in each seat if you have a look.

Strangely I was only talking about the Scoot earlier because its lovely and easy to use. But if your baby / child naps, there's nowhere for their legs to go. I can't explain it, but its not even like say a Maclaren where the legs go straight down. I think its because the crotch strap is set back quite a long way from the edge of the seat, so a child's thighs are supported but their legs can't bend down to reach the footrest. My child looks really uncomfy when he's napping. I also dont like the cavernous nature of the Scoot seat combined with loads of loose fabric gathering around the childs head when sat upright.
Don't get me wrong - I think is good and I own one - but I would buy it for a child who is unlikely to nap. I think I would run with the Pepp or consider a Baby Jogger City Mini.

Thanks Tiggywunkle, that is all really helpful advice and good to see photos comparing them. I had a play with the Nuna Pepp in John Lewis and really liked how easy it was to fold and how small it folded down, the only negative I could see was the small wheels with getting up and down kerbs etc. Obviously there's quite a big difference in price between that and the Scoot though and comfort is really important for a happy baby! I will see if I can try out the Yoyo and Scoot as well, so when I make a decision a few months down the line I will hopefully make the right one.

The Nuna is really no issue to push TBH. The main issue is the horrible jigsaw puzzle harness which is sooooooo hard to do with a squirming toddler in the seat in January in the rain.......

I loved both Nuna Pepps i had...Only sold it because i was downsizing my large collection, and the Pepp was better money wise to sell on.

The Nuna Pepp is just fabulous - such a lovely buggy! A brilliant buggy for the price - lays flat, turns on a sixpence and one-handed, tiny fold!
I can also vouch that it is an amazing buggy for posture, and putting baby in a good, but comfortable, position. One of my DD's OT saw her in our Pepp and was amazed at her posture! Have had friends put their smaller babies in it and, again, it puts them in such a good position for sitting up.
Would definitely recommend it! :)

Thanks everyone, really appreciate your help and taking time to comment! Sounds like the Nuna is a winner :-)
