Problems with Mamas and Papas Herbie been offered the SKATE, anyone any opinions?

[MidgetGem]

i there, we bought the M&P Herbie back in October for DD, I have had numerous problems with the chassis and I am just not convinced of it's durability, after much to-ing and fro-ing M&P they have finally agreed to swop the Herbie for another of their products, I am considering the SKATE and I am interested in hearing any feedback from anyone who has used this, DD now 7 months old so will just be using the pushchair for her (until the next one) .

I don't own a Skate but I do sell them.

I actually quite like it. I'm not the greatest fan of M&P products (I don't hate them, I just don't think they're utterly wonderful). However, despite being determined to not like it, once I got my hands on it I found it quite clever.

I was surprised at how well built it is.

Apparently, it was designed by people involved with designing the Stokke Xplory and the Bugaboo prams.

Go for it, much better than another Herbie.

Thanks very much for that teaandcake, have just reposted rewording my title because I thought it had gone unanswered! Don't know anyone in RL with one I am just extra cautious this time around after having problems with the Herbie.

A few friends have the Skate and are highly impressed with it. Not had one personally but some good reports coming through about it from friends. They are also using them for older children too which is good to hear. (Above 2.5 yrs)

Hope that helps.
