anybody got one? i want to replace my mothercare city light - too tricky to get on a bus. and it's too narrow for my dd!

Yes I have a Rocket replaced my Maclaren Volo with it. It is not perfect but I like it. The Volo was a disaster; brakes did not work, uncomfortable ride and unforgiving wheels. The Rocket is almost as light as the Volo but it reclines and the brakes work really well. You can lock the wheels at the front or swivel. The seat is higher up than the Maclarens which I like and the wheels are more robust. My only complaint is the position of the brakes mean they can get in the way if you are going up or down steps. Its hard to explain they...
can catch on a step if you are bumping your buggy up or down steps... I am not sure thats clear!? Any how I think it is a good light buggy for the price, hope that helps :)

Oooh sorry forgot to say it is quite narrow as with all these light weight buggies. My fella is 2.5 months - not massive but he can look a bit 'snug' in it. Have you looked at the Chicco Caddy? That was my other option, went for the Rocket because it had a better hood and really great rain cover. Buggies!! What a brain bender they are - definitely think there is a market for a 'What Buggy' publication it is hard to keep up at times!
