Pretty Fab

I only received my pushchair today but have assembled and tested it and wanted to give a review as these seem to be lacking about this particular chair.

I am pretty pleased with it, it went together very easily in about 5 minutes and that was without looking at the instructions. Its a nice size and pushed smoothly even with my 4 year old in it, on various surfaces. It went up and down kerbs well too. I wanted a single handle so I can hold hands and push if necessary and also a removable bumper bar as these are so awkward when you want to put a toddler in, especially if you use the cosytoes.

I love the fact it has solid tyres too and not pneumatic ones like a lot of 3 wheelers out there. I have suffered the inconvenience of being miles away from home with a puncture and don't care to repeat that experience. I have jogged with it and it was still easy to push and control, it has no tether to hold it to you which I suppose you could rig if you use it a lot that way. The brake is completely adequate.

Also a three wheeler is great if the front wheel swivels, it turns like a dream but if you need it, you can flick the switch at the front and its fixed in a straight position.

One big problem I have found is that despite having the weight limit for a child up to 55lbs (fantastic compared to most units 15kg limit) the shoulder straps aren't long enough even fully extended. I have clipped them off and removed them (they come off) because they sit below my daughter's shoulders. I am disappointed about that but will make do with a 3 point harness.

The shopping basket isn't easy to access either but there are useful pockets for purse and mobile phone on the back of the hood. Another thing that disappointed me was the seat recline. I have had a lot of pushchairs in my time and have never come across one so basic. It is basically two straps that clip together and support the seat back. You can manually adjust the length of the strap to change the recline angle. Not very good but does the job I suppose. I will probably only use up and down positions anyway but nice to have the choice and there is nothing there to break.

I am happy with it. I got pushchair and cosytoes for £150 BRAND NEW from a certain auction site and that was the best deal I could find. I wanted something durable (time will tell but brand is promising) and comfortable for long walking session but not too cumbersome. Also I do cut through a dirt track frequently and the big wheels should cope marvellously.

Hope this helps someone.
