Lovely and easy to push, small when folded, roomy seat, big basket.
Bad Points
Brake mechanism is useless! Locking mechanism when unfolding isn't studry
General Comments
I bought this Mothercare Buggster in April 2008 for my son.... Within a week I noted the brakes were stiff and as per the instructions lubricated them with WD40 but it made no difference. The internal mechanisms are plastic which means they are liable to snap. I returned my pushchair to Mothercare who insisted it was sent away - 8 weeks later (and three loan strollers!), they couldn't find MY Buggster and couldn't replace it as they were no longer stocking them due to so many being returned. I also had issues with the locking mechanisms on the buggy when unfolding but I found with using a bit of force I made sure they were locked to stop it collapsing. I also found the clips to hold the buggster folded were useless as they were awkward to put on and terrible to release.
