Mothercare I'Coo Pico 4 Pushchair

Its better then nothing and its better then some other ones. I still didnt find the one i am looking for....perfect one

Wouldn't recommend this at all...found it to be a complete nightmare of a pushchair!

Very well made and easy to use. Made for use and abuse so should last. However, no night lights.

The Mothercare I'coo Pico 4 Pushchair is very easy to push and I love the look. It has a good size shopping basket and my baby loves going out in it. It folds well, fits into the boot of the car well. I love this pushchair. It's all you need in a pushchair!

If you live in a city and sometimes spend time in a country setting, the Mothercare I'coo Pico 4 stroller would be good for you. Not recommended for some serious off roading though. Even if the wheels are big, they are still made out of PVC. I myself live in the city, but the beaches and farm areas are still near enough to us. This stroller has worked perfectly for me at the mall, the grocery store, the playgrounds, and some grassy open areas. It is light enough, but not that light, so it is sturdy and the baby sits comfortably in it. I also own a Maclaren, and one day it was so windy by the seaside, that even with the brakes on the stroller almost got blown away. And also, the Icoo doesn't tip over easily if you've got bags on it's handle strapped to a hook. That's why I decided to purchase this stroller, and it has worked perfectly for me. It is still light enough to put in my car to go to the mall or grocery. But it also performs perfectly for long walks in the countryside and seaside. So, I can say that this stroller has been a ten for me in the setting and environment where my baby and I live.

I must admit I was a little worried after I purchased the Mothercare I'coo Pico 4 Pushchair. I did so on line and then looked up the earlier review and was a bit worried so trekked to mothercare to see it (well 3 in fact as only the superstores stock it). What I found was a really heavy to push pram with scraped all over the front wheel covers and practically impossible to collapse. I came home very dismayed and thought maybe I should cancel my order. Then it arrived and hubby had assembled it before I got the chance to say I was having second thoughts. I am so glad he did. (I am sure the demo model was faulted)

The stroller is excellent. Ok so it is not as light as a maclaren stroller but then it is not trying to be like one. This is a stroller with all the good points of a big pram. The suspension is fantastic and you can change its settings. My daughter likes it really soft and spongy and with this stroller you can do just that. The height adjustment handle is so easy to use. The shopping basket is huge....but then again so is the rain cover....except this is more than a rain cover it's a taupe.

The seat is on an umbrella suspension so you can change it by very small amounts if you want and you can choose if you want to put on the washable safety bar and hood.

I was really conscious of the fact the one in the shop looked scraped over the wheel arches so I always lock the wheels back before collapsing and therefore it is in tip top condition. You really need to do this as when it folds it goes flat to the floor. The folding is very easy and when unfolding it just jumps into place open really easily.

I also got the change bag (with mat) which is ok it has three separate elastic pockets inside then a big ruck sack section. The sides have two elasticated pockets for milk etc and then a little section on the front for keeping small items. The bag is ok but not a must for me as although it is the same as the stroller it has nowhere to go as it is to bulky for the basket and you have to put it on your back. So that is personal choice really.

I also purchased the snug and raincover. The snug is a good heavy weight although it will only last you till baby is about 18 months then there legs will be too long. The rain cover is tremendous although a little large when packed down.

When I purchased this pram I did so with the idea of using the transit bag when taking it on the plane. This was a bit expensive at £50 but worth the money not to get your expensive stroller wrecked by baggage handlers. There was one main draw back with this item........nobody stocks them and Hauck UK don't even import them. After many days of trying to get this I found a shop called www.preciouslittleones.co.uk who supply this with free post and packing it arrived within 2 days.....excellent service. This item is great as it turns it into a heavy duty suitcase on wheels.

All in all I am very impressed with the stroller I know some think they are heavy but then again not as heavy as a conventional pram yet it has all the same functionality. The final point I would like to make is it is very compact when folded (ok not as small as an umbrella buggy) but it does fit nicely in the front foot well of my car.

Oh and everyone seams to comment on what a good looking pram it is. You can choose your range of colours and they even do a nice bright pink! Perfect for little girls.

The Mothercare I'coo Pico 4 Pushchair is Unbelievably heavy. I actually took my son out so I could push it... even then it was really hard to push. Not recommended.
