Jane Energy, Maclaren XLR, Cosatto Diablo Supa, Costatto Swift Lite or Cosatto Swift Lite Supa

[nappyaddict]

Don't know which one to choose.

Have heard the Jane Energy and XLR can be quite heavy to push though.

Hey Nappy,

I had the Energy and I'm sure you'll know I didn't get on with it too well but that might just have been me because I know alot of people love it.

Things I loved about it-
Big wheels
Decent height handles
Kind of easy 2 hand fold
High seat
Covers come off to wash

Things I hated about it-
Bugger to control at times
Handles go wobbly and feel as though they will snap off (mine came away from the frame)
Brake are shit
Basket is small but obv thats normal
The worst ever raincover didnt stay over DS, cant be folded easily need to roll it as it has a rounded frame but it loses shape and ends up all wonky and doesnt fit right after a while
Locking catch is crap you need to move it everytime you fold as can snap off pushchair and comes loos alot.

It wasn't heavy to push though LOL.

Have heard Cosatto Diablo is a bugger to push because of the size of the wheels and they get stuck in every little dip. But havent tried one just been told.

HTH.

I'm getting an XT next week if you want I'll let you know how it is with DS because I think yours and mine are about the same height/weight/age.

Oops BIG rant

When you say a bugger to control at times ... what do you mean?

The wheels on mine used to go haywire at times randomly unlock and lock so would go to turn a corner and it would be in fixed wheel would be walkingon bumpy ground and swivel wheel would come on so would end up going which ever way and getting stuck.

Personally I think and hope I got a duff one because it was awful and I bought it brand new from a local pram store who are fab so can be trusted. I really did grudge paying £100 for it for the 'larger seat' and wheels the seat never seemed that big to me (although DS is big) he just never looked comfy in it and we got when he was 8 months old and used it about 10 times maximum in the 14 months we had it.
