We are awestruck by the fact that it's easy to open and close, regardless of whether you're on the go or have hands filled with children. It's also a smooth pushchair and the recline feature is easy to use for young children. It doesn't provide the additional support that a bassinet or carrycot provides for newborns and isn't suitable for use as a baby travel buggy.

During testing it was super easy to steer and stomp through cobbles as well as bumpy roads, and some large kerbs with ease. It was extremely robust for a light and small buggy. The only issue was that the seat didn't recline, but considering it's designed to travel, it's not a big issue. The handle bar is fixed at an elevated height and isn't very adjustable, but it was still comfortable for tall and short adults during our test.
