Pushes really well. Heavy to lift. Steering great! But you have to take a wide berth round corners due to back steering iyswim. (Steer in advance lol)
Really cushy covers, good raincover, basket is sh*te but actually holds stuff fairly well considering it has no sides
Pram top I found (sorry Mumo!) a bit too shallow, felt like DS would fall out of it when going up or down kerbs...also it sloped towards handle, ours was quite old though...covers don't wash too well, ours had leather strips and they bled colour, also had water marks on other parts after washing...most don't have leather though and fabrics prob. better now.
Seat unit is lovely! Leather handle is lovely too.
No wider than a Quinny freestyle 3 wheeler but has that width all along iyswim - because of four wheels. So it can be tricky in small shops also the ground clearance is low so not brill over big steps etc.
Other than that, nice quality and interesting to look at!

Hope that helps I do have mine still, can't sell it cos the steering is so nice and light!

flightattendant · 30/08/2007 20:33

Sorry, just being honest but like I said, ours is quite old! I hope this doesn't put you off too much

It is a great pushchair.

XcupcakemummyX · 30/08/2007 20:36

heavy but study, brill for steering round people.
Also for bumpy roads and going up and down kerbs
felt it was a very secure pushchair

kitsandbits · 30/08/2007 20:37

what does £130 include?

i love mine, although have to admit i HATE HATE HATE the rear steering! i have found that for ds comfort, it is amazing. It is however a pain to steer in shops etc. you really do need a wide birth. People tend not to realise and get in the way (although dh just pushes lightly into them until they move )I have bought a buggy for ds now which we use if we are going shopping etc, but use the mutsy if we are just going for a walk (or places like chester zoo that we visited last weekend )suspension is excellent and as i said earlier it is extremely comfortable for ds!

It is however quite heavy when lifting to put into your boot, although the fact at the wheels pop off very easily is a very big help as i have a small boot.

Bit of an epic but hope that helps.
