New from Mamas & Papas and therefore we can’t yet comment on its durability but only from a design perspective.
Expert review
In terms of looks, Mamas & Papas have done it again, this is stylish and sleek looking. The 4 colours (Truffle, Tulip, Cress and Aqua) are bold but tasteful. There are optional patterned seat liners to go with each colour that, in our view, spoil the look of the pushchair rather than enhance it!
It requires 2 hands to fold so is not ideal for public transport, although it is probably light enough to lift on and off a bus with the baby in it.
There is one big design flaw that may need to be corrected in subsequent editions – that is – the method of folding requires the whole of the bottom of the seat fabric to lie flat on the ground. Not ideal at all! What’s more the pushchair does not free-stand when folded.
The seat unit lies flat for new-borns and is fairly comfortable (although for new-borns, a sheepskin liner is probably a good idea, and much more preferable than the seat liner accessories as mentioned earlier!).
It will accommodate the Mamas and Papas Primo Viaggio car seat but not with integral adaptors like the Pliko, instead you need additional adaptors that are rather large clips that attach to the chassis and allow you to mount the seat. These need removing each time you fold the pushchair so risk being lost or not being in the place you need them to be when you come to need them.
Time will tell how this pushchair fares. In our opinion it is a good newcomer but needs a few tweaks to make it a main contender.
At £150 it’s not bad value for money and a good option if you want a compact buggy to keep in the boot of your car (even if you have a VW Beetle!).
The new Mamas & Papas 2 year guarantee (extended from 6m) will provide some security if you want to try out this pushchair.
It has a nice bouncy feel to it and the bar handle is comfortable and adjustable. For '08 (and a price increase to £150) Mamas & Papas have added a bumper Bar and adjustable to the Luna. Two welcome additions to the list of features and well worth the extra £20.
THE LOW-DOWN
How Practical? – Impractical folding method means seat fabric has to touch ground, otherwise good for city life and small car boots
Defining features – Very light and super compact fold
Who is it for? - For city people and anyone who is struggling to fit a pushchair in their car boot
Car boot size – Small (one of the few pushchairs that will fit in the back of a VW Beetle)
Upsides – Compact fold, stylish look, bouncy feel, good price
Downsides – Half of the seat fabric has to lie flat on the ground when folding!, does not free-stand when folded, car seat adaptors need removing to fold, another downside is that the car seat that it is compatible with is the Primo Viaggio!
Budget - £150
What is included in the price? – Raincover
Optional accessories – Parasol, Seat Liner, Accessory Pack

I love the luna pushchair my child is 11 months old and fits so snuggly and looks so comfortable. I agree with some of the other views on here that if you look after your pushchair and used it reponsably then you'll have no problems they like most other pushchairs are not designed to have bags hung from them or fo the child to be sitting in unsupervised as tro be honest the pushchair wouldn't of had time to topple forward if the woman was keeping an eye on her child!
