Good Points: It looks nice, my daughter seems comfortable in it.
Bad Points: *Front wheels fell off *Very hard to manouver *Front wheels tend to jam *The hood doesnt stay up properly, slightest bit of wind blows it down *Brakes are very stiff!! The main problem is the front wheels, they fall off for a start which as a result throws the pram forward!! If you push the pram on a smooth surface (e.g. in a supermarket. mothercare, toys r us etc) the wheels jam sideways making it nearly impossible to push without having to bend down every 5 minutes to unjam them!!
General comments: I bought the pram in may 2008. I have taken it back to toys r us (with my receipt) and demanded a refund. The customer service assistant explained that even thought she believes that the wheels have come off, she has to send it off to the manufacturer to be tested!!! She done a quick test on the wheels herself (clicking them in and out), what good that done i dont know because it happens when going down a kerb. She admitted that they will probably send it back and say there is nothing wrong with the wheels and that if that happens she will just keep sending it back until they admit the fault! The thing is they could test it hundreds of times and the wheels may not fall off, as i can go for about a month of using it and they dont come off but they HAVE come off on some occassions and to me that is a safety risk to my child and i'm not prepared to use it if theres a chance it could happen again!!
If anyone is reading this and have had the same problem and have also taken it back to toys r us, can you please comment on my review to let me know what your outcome was and whether they have given you a refund. Thank you.

I am on my third one in 12 months! The screws keep falling out of the 3 I've had, rendering the unit useless and leaving me stranded.
The brake mechanism has now been modified on the latest model. Just as well, because this worked for approx 3 months on the last two. I'm not convinced the brake won't seize if sand or dirt gets into the mechanism, but we'll see.

I would strongly advise people NOT to buy this buggy, the wheels locked causing the buggy to topple over forwards, this happened to my partner last week and had he not managed to catch the buggy my son would have been very seriously injured. Took it back to Toys R Us who refused point blank to give me an exchange telling me that it needed to be sent back to the manufacturer. They also tried to fob me off with some cheap tat loan buggy that didn't even have a hood!! Absolutely terrible customer s ...

Have had one replacemnt buggy and now exactly the same thing has happened to the replacement - even the same wheel. Have had real problems with this buggy both have collapsed with baby in it!! and the girl in the store has suggested... wait for it heavy handling! Mmmm I often go off roading with my small baby! Very cross at my treatment by the store and dissapointed in what at the time i thought would be a good lightweight buggy that would be easy to handle as i am petite myself. They are curren ...

On the whole I think Babies R Us Presto is not worth the £130 pounds I paid. I definitely would never advise anyone to get one, in fact I would go out of my way to advise anyone against buying it, even a stranger!!

I was a huge fan of the Quinny Zapp before, but I see this as a better alternative as it has a shopping basket, unlike the Quinny and the seat goes back to allow your child to sleep, unlike the Quinny. So I would definitely say that the pros outweigh the cons for this buggy.

Taken back to Toys'r'Us to be told there has never been ANY complaints relating to tipping with this product so would send it away for testing.
Had to complain to an un-necessary level to get a loan buggy, Toys'R'Us manager so obviously not a parent.
Still waiting for our chair or refund.
WATCH THIS SPACE!!!

I have not had a bad experience with my presto at all, so was shocked to read some of the reviews, its like i have a different pram. i have no problems getting up and down kerbs, the wheels have never locked on me or knocked together, it opens and closes with ease so no complaints here, only the harness seem to come up short!

I took this back to toys r us for a replacement to be told I should buy something else as these are all being returned with the same fault broken bar at the bottom so wheels touch and you can only push on the back to wheels as front 2 knock together.

I wish I had seen the this review before I bought my presto bought a week today. I find it easy to use compared to what I had, but the straps around the waist are way too small for a 13month old in a winter coat. Should have tried him in it before too out, too late now and £99 lighter!

I was very disappointed with this buggy after swithering about getting a Quinny as they were around the same price - although I was hankering after the McLaren Techno XT( but this was just a bit too expensive for me), the shopping basket was the thing that made me go for the Presto.
What a bad decision although I am still persevering with it a year later as it was not cheap at '£140 so I cannot afford to replace it.
Anyone who has had the misfortune to have to push my son says it is the ...
