quinny freestyle 4 xl/mutsy urban rider

[nicm]

hi

i was wondering if anyone had one of these? i was considering trading in my bugaboo and kiwi explorer for one. not sure though. i like the idea that child can be facing you and i only need a double 2 days a week so thought i could get the extra seat to clip on for then. also did you find it heavy? was it easy to push or back breaking? do the wheels have the swivel type thing on the quinny?

bump....anyone please?

Hi, the Quinny has a front wheel that tilts not swivels, I don't know how helpful this is in tight spaces such as shops, it just does not have the steerability of a swivel. It's also very heavy.

I'm afraid I don't know a lot about the Mutsy other than it has an articulated chassis so it steers quite differently to anything else. It is on the heavy side to lift but not to push. It looks fantastic though, I love the fact that you can face the seat either way.

Hiya, I ruled out the mutsy when I went to look at one because it is huge! Very wide & very heavy. It took up all my boot space! It has a pathetic shopping basket too. But it was lovely to push, so if the size/weight don't put you off, then it's worth a look.
