Looking for something new and can't keep away from the Halo, not seen one yet in the flesh and would appreciate any advice on them. Thanks in advance.

Seen one in the flesh and didn't like it but can't put my finger on why, didn't play with it though so a useless post in all sorry lol

ooh, my local shop has one it is LUSH, really nice, not sure i'd pay the price for it though, only thing i didnt like is the shopping basket is more or less non existant,it comes with a bag though,so i assume u r meant to put the shopping in there,

Not my cup of tea at all - think it's seriously over priced for what it is! The basket is non exsistant, felt very flimsy to push, hood was a bit rubbish, the little hooks that hold the apron into place are positioned in such a place that a child could catch themselves on it, rubbish recline too. I managed to sneak my phone out when I was playing with one & got these photos.

You're a star Mrs M, thanks for the photos and your opinion. You are talking me out of it. lol. Think I may go to John Lewis and have a look/pick over it. Where did you see this one?

This one was in Mothercare, quite handy as the staff are next to useless & just let you get on with things & there's a handy placed pillar that I stood behind with my phone out to get photos whilst I was playing

nice piccies!! i do agree way over priced when i saw one in toys r us. i'd sooner have a luna which is v.similar i think. but more sturdy and much better basket.

Love my SC Halo, best pushchair we have had.
Can steer one handed very nicely, very sturdy and light. Nice big hood with mini sunscreen attached.
I know it's not everyone cup of tea but i love mine to pieces. I'm going to be sad when DD has to have her Special Needs pushchair.
Only thing i don't like is there is no shopping basket underneath.
