    Out of all the baby equipment that we purchased this has been the worst and most regretted purchase. Within 6 weeks of use the break failed (our supplier begrudgingly changed the framework for us)12 months later the break failed again. We had to send it to M&P direct but they would not replace they would only repair, and you guessed it 12 months down the line it broke again. We got nowhere with M&P as it was "out of guarantee". We had to give up. We have used a Mclaren tecno xt pushchair since which has been our best purchace of all our baby equipment. I wish we had saved ourselves £400 and never bothered with the o3.

    This Mamas and Papas Series 03 International pushchair is so fab to push/manouvre you wouldn't believe, it pops up and down curbs like your driving a Land Rover, its a serious off roading buggy with out lacking any luxury... it looks great, is easy to collapse and open, it lies down to the flat sleeping position. I love the fact the straps allow little ones to sit forward and nose around.
    But the reason I mark this so low when I love it so so much!?!..........the chinese squeaking torture! The ...

    As soon as i saw this pram I knew it was the one for me. It was smart, eyecatching and above all looked adequate to complete the 6 mile walk a day i was planning to do after having my baby.
    Unortunately the walks were short lived and i used the car instead, However we soon realised this was not a pram that was intended to be squeezed into the boot of a car! It was unbelievably heavy to lift and huge when folded!
    I wasn't too happy with the way the baby car seat 'fixed' onto the brackets on t ...

    Wouldn't recommend this pram. Harness too short for bigger baby. Brake failed after six months.Poor after sales service. Main hinge on chassis broke after a year. Car seat isn't great.

    Mamas and Papas are a hideous company to deal with....stay away! My advice is read plenty of pram reviews before you make a decision and take note of the reviews written here!

    This pram is a really sturdy, strong pram. I am now using mine for my second child, 4 years on from the first. I've always washed it down after each use, and kept it well oiled/WD40-ed, and it still looks and "drives" like new. We've had no problems with it, with the exception that I had a puncture once. The whole wheel had to be replaced at a cost of £25 or so, but M&Ps express delivered one to me within a few days - and that was sent out to Germany for me. All in all, a good investme ...

    I thought that Mamas & Papas were just about the best you could get when expecting my 1st child. Clever advertising & cool design meant I spent nearly £400 on a Series 03 3 wheeler pram. What a waste of money! I can't lift it into the boot of my car as it's too heavy & it's huge even without the wheels & hood on so unless you drive an estate you can't fit much shopping around it. If you manage to get it in & out of the car to do some shopping you'll be limited as to where you can shop as o ...

    Don't buy the Series 03 International . We spent over £400 for a pram that has just lasted 2 years. It's almost unsteerable unless you are strong due to the weight of the pram. It's really hard trying to get in touch with Mammas & Pappas...what customer care!

    All in all the Mamas and Papas Series 03 International pushchair has been a disaster, and put me 100% off Mamas and Papas products. We bought all the accessories for this pushchair, with a final bill around the £400 mark, for a pushchair that is virtually unsteerable. It doesn't fold properly, and is way too heavy, even the accompanying travel system car seat is poor quality.

    In the end Mamas & Papas gave us no customer satisfaction, and we bit the bullet and put this piece of junk in t ...

    I bought the mamas & Papas series 03 International pushchair brand new. I cost £300, and broke the second time using it. It took 2 months to sort out, and they gave us the wrong pushchair back. Eventually after they admitted it was faulty. We had it exchanged for the same model. The 1st time using it, we had the same wheel faults again. Sent it back, and they returned it fixed apparently. It broke again within half an hour. Now they have my £300 and I have no pushchair, and they won' ...

    Mamas & Papas Series 03 International - We have been back and forward to Mamas & Papas with this buggy. The brake has broken at least 5 times and eventually when we were offered a replacement buggy it veered to the left and the brake broke again after a very short time. Mamas & Papas say that the buggy was only guaranteed for 6 months even though we have had it back there for repair so many times (we have only had the buggy a year) and refuse to give us a refund or a new replacement. At the mome ...

    Bought this Mamas & Papas Series 03 International pushchair while pregnant with our first child. It looks really good. I did not mind the weight as it felt sturdy. Our problems started when we opened the box. The brake was broken, which was repair number 1. When it came back we found it veered to the left. It went back for repair, the chassis was straightened and the rear wheels replaced, which was repair number 2. It came back, the problem was better but it still veered to the left. It ...

    Mamas & Papas Series 03 International - Bought this pram for our 1st child. Knew it was very heavy when bought but fell in love with it. Once baby arrived, after having a c-section found it extremely hard to push around (especially up hills). The frame is very heavy and bear in mind once you've added baby and shopping, even now I struggle like mad pushing it up the hill on the way home from the shops! The harness is designed terribly as the straps come from the base of the backrest and our 1 yea ...

    When we bought this Mamas & Papas Series 03 International pushchair we knew it was heavy, but I felt that for the purpose intended it was needed. I love the easy folding and the fact you can take the back wheels on and off in the push of a button. The seat is padded and the footmuff is so soft. I love this pushchair and would happily recommend it to everyone who walks or jogs or lives near a beach or rough terrain.

    The Mamas & Papas Series 03 International was chosen for our newborn baby - and it was great - but it soon outlived its usefulness when that newborn started to get heavier!

    It's a sturdy model but very heavy and as a consequence, no good if you want to use it as a in-and-out-of-the-car type of buggy. Having said that though, it is a very good buggy for rough tracks because of the suspension and the pneumatic tyres.

    Before purchasing this buggy, I wished I had tried wheeling it around with ...
