Not the lightest pushchair on the market, but substantial and pretty good value for money as the package includes a matching fleece lined Footmuff, Changing Bag, good size shopping basket and raincover.

The seat reclines to four positions and is suitable from birth in its lowest position. The height adjustable handles make it easy to push by anyone and the all round suspension makes the ride as smooth as is possible on a pushchair of this type. The suspension is adjustable so that there is more ‘bounce’ for a younger baby.

The system revolves around the Chicco ‘Clik-Clak’ mechanism which attaches and releases the (Auto-Fix) Car Seat to the chassis. The mechanism works very well and as the name suggests everything clicks together nicely. To release items from the chassis there is an easy one button system.

The front wheels swivel and can be locked when necessary using the ‘self centring’ mechanism which locks the wheels in the forward facing position once the lock is applied. When folded the pushchair is free-standing. 

The hood is on the small side and is probably the only drawback with this pushchair. There is a small viewing panel at the rear.
