    The Micralite Fastfold is Light and easy to fold with one hand. Excellent travel system with everything you need. Fits easily in any car boot as it is much narrower when folded.And now there is even a board to go on it. I have back problems and this was the lightest stroller to lift on to the boot of my little toyota yaris. It has been everywhere with us, even to Brazil and still looks new. I now have a second child and and found it hard to use a twin buggy as it is heavy, hard to manouver and m ...

    I've had my micralite pushchair for nearly 4 years now - used by both my sons constantly and has never let me down (still looks good too). Best point is that it is so easy and light to steer that you do it one handed. It still feels solid and folds really small (even stands up when folded). Large back wheels make mince meat of kerbs and rough terrain and accessories such as travel system, rainwear and sunshade are good quality. Took me a little while to grasp the knack of folding it one hand ...

    We've loved our Micralite. My son is now 23 months and we've never had anything different. It is light, easy to use and pack up. We were however disappointed to encounter the problem many others have listed below - the front wheel completely snapped off when I caught it on the curb. This has broken the frame, so we have to replace the whole pushchair. I do understand the problem with walking behind it to - I sometimes felt like I needed to walk to the side of it pushing with one hand! Having sai ...

    We were advised not to buy the carry cot, as it would not see much use. Instead, we used our car seat and haven't missed the carry cot at all. Our son is 4 months old and we've now started using the fabric seat - they recommend 6 months, but he's a big lad!Maybe they've revised the front wheels, because we've had none of the problems mentioned in other reviews. My only gripe is that the handle could be higher and/or raked back at more of an angle.

    I've loved the Micralite Pushchair, even when the front wheel broke down. Micralite and John Lewis were extremely helpful at getting a set of wheels when one broke down. I found it the best pram to move around, with the back pneumatic wheels and the one piece handle. The only problem is that it's a bit expensive for what it is, and that the design could be improved for the transition to be easier from carrycot to sitting up, which is not suitable until 6 months.Still, we lost our Micralite, and ...

    The front wheels are poorly manufactured in my opinion - we've had two sheer off in two years. Micralite claim you can collapse the push chair single handed - I personally can't (sometimes you get lucky trying this) - this is an awkward push chair to collapse for me.
    Anyone taller than about 5'6" will find the handles too low, and positioned in such away that you can barely stride as you walk behind it.
    The shopping basket underneath is incredibly awkward to access.
    In push chair mode, the seat ...

    The front wheels of the Micralite Pushchair seem flimsy, and one of the wheels broke off when going up a curb, the pushchair was just out of guarantee and I had to pay a large amount to get this repaired.

    I would not recommend this product

    I have used the Micralite for nearly 3 years for both our children (although I also use a tandem when we are going too far for my eldest to walk).
    I have found it to be excellent, but am now looking to replace it as I need one that reclines. I was very disappointed when I first realised this one didn't recline - it is such a shame.

    The front wheels are very weak. We bought one from John Lewis the front wheel snapped off when wheel caught lip of a kerb, got a replacement and again front wheel snapped off.

    i LOVE this pushchair!! ive got it in the newborn travel system and use it with the maxi cosi seat and also the carry cot. this has served me very well with two children and we've taken it camping, on muddy dog walks, on the beach on skiing holidays and its still in great condition and not showing any signs of falling apart with our rough and heavy usage. we still love it and if i had to buy all over again i would buy this again without a doubt. it folds up small, when you need to overload the c ...

    I love this stroller. I feel like it's the only one on the market that has successfully paired all the aspects of a light weight small folding stroller with the capabilities of a larger urban stroller. Sometimes I wish I sprung for the Toro to get the flat recline but other than that I love it.

    Great choice if you out and about a lot - maybe think about the foot muff for winter

    Would not buy again, and am currently trying to get a refund from where I purchased it - which was online and makes it a lot more difficult to communicate than from a local shop.

    I have four children and have had many many pushchairs!!!!! Among them some very good pushchairs, so when I was expecting baby number four I was yet again faced with the massive choice of which pushchair to buy? With three children in the car already we needed a fairly compact pushchair to fit in the car. I liked the look of the Micralite and found it folded small-so I read the reviews and bought a Micralite pushchair/carry cot complete with car seat adapters. When my husband saw it he said cool ...

    I used the Micralite pushchair for at least six months with my 2.5 year old, and then used as the travel system/pushchair for my youngest, who is now 1 - it's still going strong, and it looks in excellent condition. Despite my gripes, I firmly believe that this is the best pushchair on the market, and the pros definitely outweigh the cons. My second choice was the Bugaboo, which I discounted due to the weight, size when folded, price, and also because I didn't think it looked as good.

    It's a shame, because the Micralite is a good pushchair, but it really needs to be more robust, especially as it is so expensive. Now I'm starting to think I should have invested in the bugaboo!

    Shopping for a baby buggy was a headache from hell; particularly as it needed to fit into a Mk1 Honda Civic car boot. One particularly good local retailer tried selling us all sorts of massive £500 marvels, but I liked the slightly quirky look of the Micralite, so I asked the Australian shop assistant to show it to us. After she had fought and struggled with all the other buggies, suddenly she dealt with this one with aplomb. With one hand, she took hold of it and it almost vanished with a ...
