Bebecar R-versus - or other reversible pushchairs

5 replies

I'm investigating pushchairs/prams for no2 (no need for double as reasonable age gap). I like the look of the bebecar R-versus because it has a simple lie-flat pram option without having to buy the carrycot, and then can face either way as a pushchair. It's quite new so finding it hard to find reviews etc. What do MNers who've got one think? Does it take a buggyboard? Are there any other reasonably lightweight reversible pram/pushchair options around?

Please let me know!!

I looked (am looking ) into this. Have a Powertrack 360 and a little used Phil and Teds. I have a 2.75dd who walks most places, and my 6mo ds is now nearly out of pram attachment to Jane powertack. Have tried a Loola, didn;t like wobbly handles, looked at Britax Vigour, but only a travel system and I don't need another car seat, so will probably get a icandy Apple, which is good, and fairly light and you can attach a buggy board to. Can also get a carrycot attachment if you want. Do a search on reversible buggies, or rear facing buggies, and there a re a few others, such as Mutsy 4 trek ....

M&P have a couple of possibilities - the Pliko Pramettte looks similar to the Reversus in that it lies flat facing you and umbrella-folds, but it can only face away when in pushchair mode.
The Skoot is lighter and can face forward or towards you in either mode but folds flat rather than umbrella-style.

I think the R-versus looks rather like a cross between the Pramette and the Loola - but it's heavier than either, and I can't work out if you need to take the seat unit off to fold it, which would be a complete pain.

hiya, I had the loola & r-versus on my original list - but disliked them both in the flesh I found they both had wobbly handlebars, were fairly heavy to push & weren't much narrower than many of the 3 wheelers. Also looked at the icandy apple (found handlebar uncomfortable) and the mutsy 4-rider (2nd favourite, but just took up too much of my car boot!). Considered the quinny buzz too, but put off by the numerous poor reviews, the tiny basket/buzz box & the "trendy" image! So am now going for (I think ) the new britax vigour which is a bit bulky but is lovely to push & folds fairly compactly for a 3 wheeler. I think you just need to try out as many as you can & accept that there isn't a perfect buggy out there

BTW, LLB - you can buy just the pushchair part of the britax vigour if you don't need the carseat or carrycot, but it's quite hard to track down. There's a store on eBay that has them Vigour 3

thanks - all useful stuff for me to ponder. I like the M&P pliko pramette, prob my second option at the mo, but will follow up some of these other thoughts too as I do fancy the option of being able to have the pushchair facing at times as well as the pram. Definitely don't want the loola as you can't fold it without taking off the seat, but when I looked at the rversus in mothercare, it could fold with the seat on. Also looked at the skoot but it has a white frame which seemed really daft to me as it will look filthy in about five minutes!

Thanks for letting me know about the Britax Vigour...it was mothercare who said you could only buy it with the car seat, so I shall look again!!
