Good Points
None.

Bad Points
Flimsy and badly made/designed.
Impossible to steer.
Handle bars inline with break bar which means the break bar is "kicked" with each step.
Raincover too small.

General Comments
I bought this Hauck Sport Buggy as a lightweight alternative to a travel system, at a mere £30 it looked more stylish than other strollers in the same price bracket and it fully reclines which I thought was a bonus. However I was left extremely disappointed with this product, I feel that it is a severe health & safety risk and should be taken off the market immediately, not only does this buggy fling your child around with every knock, bump and curb, the harness isn't secure and when my child moved forward he took the entire backrest with him thus rocking the pushchair forward. The buggy itself is unstable and flimsy, it squeaks as it is being pushed and is a nightmare to steer, despite it having swivel wheels they become jammed and stiff. The handle bars are also inline with the break bar so it is almost impossible to walk normally with this buggy without kicking the break bar and very painful this is too - this is a common problem with this particular design of buggy and is a major design fault. The raincover provided is also too small. Stay away from this product.
