So we bought a brand new Armadillo Flipl XT last week for our 1 year old boy. It is beautiful and I really love its compact fold, really big basket and mega large canopy, comfy harness and the fact that the seat is well padded and open so my little one can be comfortable and see everything around him. The downside is that it is not easy to manoeuvre and push and doesn't deal well with any other terrain than a street or a pavement (but even kerbs are tricky). More I use it more often I think that I should sell it and buy something else instead, but not sure what options I have and if it is possible to find a pram of my dreams which has:
- forward and parent facing seat
- big/ large basket
- large canopy ideally with peekaboo window and ventilation
- adjustable handle
- well padded seat and harness
- easily operated brakes
- easy to manoeuvre and push, deals well with pavement kerbs
- ideally all-terrain, or if not at least dealing well with grass, gravel, cobbles etc.
- has compact fold (ideally 1-handed)
- is not too heavy (max 10 kg)
- ideally cost less than £500
How people rate Bugaboo Bee 5 and Armadillo Flip XT2? Are they easy to push and manoeuvre and how they deal with kerbs and rough surfaces?
What about Baby Jogger City Versa GT?
Any other suggestions?
