Are they any good?

i'd like to know too.....£100 or more cheaper than p&t. DH is not keen on price of p&t
i'd only use one for the school run and odd hour in town

I had a look at this in a shop and I was expecting it to be very good but I was disappointed... Thought it seemed very unstable, the double seat doesn't seem very secure in the front position (never tested it at the back) The person in the shop also advised that you have to remove double seat to put baby in and out which isn't very practical.
I would definitely recommend trying it out before buying it and compare to a P&T.

my friend has brought one, and she doesnt have to take seat off back to get kid in. Its light, easy to push and well padded I would recommend it, but im not sure it would withstand the same battering most P&Ts do

Well - i'm taking a gamble and have ordered one from the pram centre online - only 197 including delivery so around half the price of a P&T.
There's a video on kiddicare website and it looks good to me - especially for under £200. Reviews seem to go from fantastic to rubbish so we'll see....
I'll be mainly using it for a 10 minute school walk twice and day and the odd hour round town so hopefully will do the job!

Well i've had it for a few days and i LOVE it , although have the toddler but not the baby to go in it yet
It's really sturdy and seems really well made. It is a bit heavy in and out the boot of the car (but so was my last 3 wheeler) but seems quite compact. So easy to put up and collapse and a doddle to push.
I read a few reviews where people said it drifted off to one side, but once you pump the tyres up (pump included) that sorts that out.
Have had lots of positive comments and admiring glances from other mums too!
