I have one - nice looking pram. Generally happy with it, but be aware of a couple of things. The seatbelt bit (the bit it plugs into) can be a bit fiddly. Play with one in a shop to see what you think (pop vogue, and pop are exactly the same, but pop vogue is nicer looking imo). other thing is I don't think the wheels are quite as good / robust as a Maclaren. Not an issue for me at the mo, but one to be aware of.

I have the Pop Vogue and I think it's brilliant! The one I had before was a 3 in 1 travel system and I found it really faffy and heavy to fold down and get in and out of the car/bus etc. This pushchair is like a breath of fresh air, it is so light and easy to fold down even when i'm holding Lenny as you can do it with one hand. It looks great too which is always a bonus!!!

I've got a pop sport and it's fine for what it is - a stroller's a stroller in my book.

It will be our holiday stroller, but for now it just lives at my Nan's, so she's got something lightweight to get DD around in. I like that you can yank the carry handle to release the folding mechanism, and I like that it has a sun roof that you can see DD through. But apart from that I can't see it being any better or worse than others of the same price.

I wasn't very pleased with my Pop Sport I'm afraid. The seat didn't seem supportive enough for my (robust) 10 month old DS and he looked very slumped in it. The foot brake levers catch on any step you try to bump the buggy down, which is very annoying.

My main dislike was the front swivel wheels which, after just a couple of weeks, refused to stay in swivel mode and kept locking, so I returned it and bought a different style of buggy which suits us much better.

I've got one - bought it for holidays and now use for chucking in boot when shopping in town.

It's okay - lightweight and easy to put up and down.

Small gripes with it - the back is just material so not supportive - would probably prefer a padded rigid back.
Difficult to go up and down steps as the brakes stick out and catch - so you have to go down one side and then the other. Finally there is a little bit of clear plastic in the hood so you can see baby - but it is covered and you can't hold the flap backwards permanently - so you just peek now and again.

On reflection probably better ones on market.

My tip would be to go to a large Mothercare - as they have lots of brands on show - pick which one you want - and then got on a comparison site and you'll find a better deal.
