I have had this pram just over 5 months now and I am shock to the core at what happened today. As I wheeled the pram to the car and APPLIED the brake I proceeded to open the car to put baby into the car seat. After I loosend the car seat straps I noticed out the rear window I seen a pram going down the hill, I tired an my baby was gone, I ran after the pram but it was too late the pram crashed into the path and tumbled, baby still inside. I am shocked to the core my sons face is seriously bruised and this could have beem fatial had the pram not turned towards the path.and we are very luck to say the least. I will NEVER purchase another mamas and papas product EVER again and this product must be recalled. I took the pram to show my partner an he was so annoyed that a product like this could be on the marketno hydro safety in place for the breaks. Very bad design

I have the 2008 model. Very sturdy. The only thing that didn't last was shopping basket and I agree it's a bad design because there is no support and it drags down easily.it dragged holes into itself. I put the pram away 2 years ago when my son was 3 and he used it as pushchair mode too. He loved it. Slept very soundly. I don't know many who haven't padded out their pram whatever the make to make it more comfy. I don't recall a problem with harness he seemed very secure. He was a 9lb baby and still on the 98 percentile and I didn't have space problems. The wheels have been very good. In fact the front two just wore down.. I walked everywhere with it , including a 25 minute hike up a bumpy dusty hill twice a day...and down again So I had to replaced them. I guess it got thrown about on about 20 Spain/uk flights without the special bag and still in one piece save for a few tiny tears . Being in Spain half the year it hasn't really been rain tested.. I have resurrected it now and plan to use with second baby I had last week. Moving it around this week I think it needs a replacement set of back wheels but that's it. Wish they made these for taller people though.

This is the best buy ever, i got a total steal at only £200, its nippy and lightweight, easy to stear and to fit in small shops because its narrow, i think this is the only pram that would have fitted in my car (fiat seicento)!! easy to fold down just 2 clicks and done, easy to carry too. had no problams fitting my little girl in it and shes 1, and still has plenty of room to move, would recommend to any one that wants a long lasting pram/buggy.

I had a big gap between my first two children and my third and last child hence having to start again with baby equipment. This time, I intended a pram/pushchair that would do me from birth to ante pre-school. I thought that I was buying "the sensible option". I paid £700 approximately for a package with car seat etc. The pramette initially seemed okay although a little stiff to use however, it has fallen apart at the seems literally! The leg extender doesn't stay up and it is getting more difficult to put up/down. It looks awful and is more difficult to steer. It's also warped. It has not been roughly treated, although it has been used regularly. I would NOT recommend this pram/buggy! It is too expensive, poor quality and the service from Mamas and Papas leaves a great deal to be desired. They wanted nothing to do with me when I e-mailed a complaint. I could NOT get through via the phone. I will NEVER buy Mamas and Papas again! I've not had to go out and buy yet another buggy!

As a first time mum I was seduced by the attractive fabric (black with cream polka dots) and thought I was buying a good brand! Yes looks very nice but that's the only positive thing I can say about it. Baby was born Oct 2010 (just before the terrible winter) so pram was not used a great deal but found it very bumpy due to no suspension. As baby got longer (about 4 months old) realised the bottom half of the pram was very hard! Went into store and was told to put a blanket underneath! It is very awkward to push and like an old bone-shaker. Feels quite unsafe now baby is larger. I lost my house keys because I had not realised there was a hole in the shopping basket. It has no support under it so when even a little shopping is put in it it drops very low and catches curbs and steps. (I have 4 steps to get in and out my house) Again visited store only to be told I could buy a new one for £24!!! At this stage pram was only 10 months old. Also the problem of baby looking squashed,across the shoulders, when in footmuffs...complained in store again...total waste of time. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED The brakes have also popped off themselves, when on the bus, quite a few times, very scarey! Six months ago I bought a replacement buggy (for £49) It is 100 times better than the pliko! I paid £672 for the pliko system BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY EVER. My cousin is now trying to sell hers on and her baby is only 7 weeks old!!! (Wish she had asked me before she bought it)! I could not advice you any more strongly NOT to buy this product.

Just purchased for baby number two as old o-zon pram has been flood damaged between pregnancies and I can use the same car seat with the Pliko. Pushes like a dream! Actually more enjoyable to push than our buggy, seems to glide better. Tested with our two year old, fits in no problem which is a relief as I has seen some reviews where people said they struggled with young babies. Don't know how! Pram mode is lovely, can't feel the harness at all! Irrelevant really though as I will be lining with blankets anyway in case of sick! Yes, the harness is free. Older babies love it and if you get a foot muff and liner you can modify it a little and it makes the straps a little more secure for a younger baby (o-zon had the same thing). One and only gripe is if your partner is 6ft 3 handles may be a little short but I imagine this would be the same for most prams!

I loved this pram as soon as I saw it, the Pliko Pramette is gorgeous. Purchased the complete package with all of the extras and I must say I think this pram is brilliant; it is so lightweight and easy to push and looks stylish at the same time. Would highly recommend this to anyone.

Pliko Pramette mimi....Well ive been using this pram for 6 and a half months and absolutely love it, its so stylish and Light weight,I originally bought a different pram with spring suspension and a big frame however as I have had a bad back since being a teenager I couldnt life it into the boot and found it difficult to steer so when i saw that the pliko pramette had won awards for being the lightest pram I went out and bought it. I can lift it and manouver it with ease, I will say it is a little harder when it has the primo viaggio car seat attached. I have only just put it into pushchair mode and it wasnt because my baby was squashed in it was because her feet were almost touching the bottom, Ive looked at it in pushchair mode and the width seems fine to me. I would deffinately recommend this pram and will be usuing it again if i have another baby.

Had to write as so many bad reviews. Don't know if they have changed the Mamas and Papas pilko pramette over the years but I had mine when my daughter was born in 2006. She loved it as a pram and there was plenty of space and she fitted very nicely in the buggy until she was three years old. Never had a problem with it being too small for her, we loved it so much that we never bothered buying a cheaper buggy when she got older, we took it everywhere. It fits in a small boot (renault clio), and we never had any problems with brakes coming off or hood falling down. There were only a few small issues, would have liked a harness in pram mode, the parasol never clipped on well and we didn't buy the car seat as the mamas and papas car seats are ridiculously heavey anyway to lift and didn't fit well in the car. Altogether very pleased with the pram and have numerous friends who also loved it. Am due with my second child in 5 weeks and have just dusted it down from the attic to use again. It still looks great.

ive actually quite liked my pliko pramette a very smooth ride with the wheels some woman said it had no suspension butit does and i ont think its that bad on rougher roads cause the roads where i live ar very rough when you go on a smooth surface it like pushing along air! really manuverable too round corners. i moved my baba into the pushchair mode at 4 months and i had no trouble fttin him in the pram mode either but i did have a small baby he began at 6.5 pounds so he fitted in it very easily. and also he wears a winter coat sat in it too. its easy to fold an unfold and it just about fits in the boot of my fiesta! because its a pram that does everythin i dont think its that bad a size cause your never gonna get a little buggy thing that does all this does. and very light too for what it does. som others are way heavier.i do lots of walkin and have walked miles and miles with this pushchair.i do live at the top of an extremely steep hill and so when he gets heavier ill buy a little cheap buggy and keep my pliko for me ext one

i have the pilko pramette in polka. after spending hundreds on pushchairs and prams, i will say that the pilko is the best ive ever had! ive had the cheapest to the dearest and most of them were rubbish. i brought my pilko second hand and even though it did take mw a while to get used to it, its the best cash ive ever spent. i really do wish i had known about the pilko polka 4 years ago because i would have brought one for my son also. i was nervous about it at first because it did feel like the handals were going to come apart but after a few days going around the garden i was fine. the only down side i do think this pushchair has, is its bulkiness when closed and its really heavy to push up hills regardless of weight of child.
MAMAS AND PAPAS PILKO POLKA PRAMETTE, I LOVE YOU

I spent £700 on a mimi pliko pramette after lots of careful consideration and being my second child thought I knew what to look for. I am very disappointed with this pram, looks pretty but that's about it.First time the hood got wet when the pram was 2 1/2 weeks old it soaked right through to the pram as the hood is not covered by the raincover then as it was drying out it smelt of ammonia, I rang mamas and papas directly and was told I would be called back within 48 hour, it then took over a week to collect and return the pram, I had to purchase another buggy in this time as I had no other mode of transport and had to do the school run etc, they said they would loan me a pram if I could make it to a store but I live miles away from any of them and neither of us drive. The customer service team were very unhelpful, I was asked if I had cleaned the pram with any ammonia products or my baby had urinated on the pram, as my baby was only 2 1/2 weeks old it had only been used a handful of times I hadn't cleaned it as it was still spotless and how on earth would my baby urinate all over the pram hood. I ended up having to get extra taxis when I needed the car seat as I had no chassis to put it on. The dark dye from the outside of the hood had leaked through to the cream fabric and the fabric itself is not very good quality, the car seat went all bobbley within a few weeks, I only use it once or twice a week so not very good and the bag which cast £95 has gone bobbley and cannot withstand any kind of wet weather, went out one day and it rained and all contents were soaked. Ended up washing pram down myself to rectify smell as the front cover did the same thing. Very heavy when car seat attatched and fills up car boot if we go out with anyone!

Unless you have a tiny 6 month old, DO NOT BUY the Pliko Pramette from Mamas & Papas!! We loved the idea of a lightweight, easy to convert pram/pushchair that we could have from birth til 3 years.... but at 6 months my baby is so uncomfortable and squashed with a coat on, our outings ALWAYS end up in tears. Now resorting to buying yet another pushchair. really?! How disappointing Mamas & Papas!!
