General Comments

Comes with everything included in package and can purchase carry cot which clips in the same way car seat does. Only thing I'd say is that carry cot is narrow compared to others I've seen and my wee toot outgrew it by 3 months (he is a BIG baby though!)

Car seat is a breeze to clip on and off, as is carry cot, and easy to put in and out of car. Only thing is the hood on the car seat doesn't stay up on its own which is pain in the rain or when its sunny.

Pram looks good, its a breeze to steer, even one handed while carrying child, or walking with a dog. One handed folding mechanism too which is smooth and easy to operate.

Comprehensive rain cover keeps entire pram dry, other people have complained about it letting in water but I've never had problems and I've been in some down pours with it!! Bonus is the special pocket above shopping basket to store raincover when not in use. Never seen that in any other pram so saves it flailing around in your shopping basket.

Good sized shopping basket - I thought access to it was limited until I worked out that it can unstud at the back to lower it enough to get things in and out of the side so now its great.

Never had any punctures with mine and I have taken it off road several times - saying that its only 4 months old. It performs well off road if you lock the front wheel. Wheels are easy to take on and off to get in car if space is limited.

Limited space to clip a parasol on when using the car seat, rendering it useless when using car seat on pram, however parasol works well in pushchair mode. I got the standard mothercare parasol.

Someone else mentioned seat position in pushchair wasn't very upright, I disagree although I had to fiddle with the srap at the back of the seat to get it as tight as it would go but once I got it the chair is very upright and my son can see everything going on around him.

All in all I love this pram and would highly recommend as good points far outweigh the bad ones.
