  3. The Easywalker June

    October 4, 2011 by Lauren

    Now my love of pushchairs is no secret and not so long ago I was top in the Google search for the term “Pram Whore.”  I spent a long time trying to find the perfect double when my boys were younger, luckily for my husband’s wallet I was able to make the decision based on research and not through trial and error.  Thus my love for Easywalker was born.  I still use my double on the odd occasion that the Hubby is at work and I need to be somewhere but now Spud is doing a lot more walking we are primarily using a single.  I wanted an Easywalker Sky or Quattro but because they didn’t parent face my desire for a Jané Slalom Reverse topped them both.

    September 18, 2011 by Lauren

    Last week Quinny had their Facebook fans on the edges of their seats as they gradually unveiled a brand new pushchair that is due to be released towards the end of this year.  Amidst the excitement they surprised them all by announcing a second pushchair that is due for release early next year.

  6. The M&P Urbo Week’s 2 & 3

    September 12, 2011 by Lauren

    We are still testing the Mamas and Papas Urbo for MumPanel and it came with us on our holiday to Nana and Pop’s house!

    We managed to fit the Urbo, my Baby Jogger City Mini and the Cosatto You2 in the boot as well as our wedding attire and enough stuff to last us 2 weeks.  I was mightily impressed!

  7. The M&P Urbo Week 1

    August 24, 2011 by Lauren

    As you know we are reviewing the Mamas and Papas Urbo for MumPanel.  We have had it for just over a week now and have certainly been putting it through it’s paces.

    Our first impressions still stand, I love the look of the seat fabric and chassis and that it is super lightweight and smooth to push.  I don’t like the back of the seat it stands out from the stylish look of the seat fabric and chassis and the brake is still really hard to take off.  We have used it every day and already it has started to creak so we have cracked open the furniture polish to oil it up a little bit.  We tried both boys in it and found that although Spud looks too tall, with the hood pulled over he has about 4 inches of room above his head. It’s usually rare for Spud to fit in a pushchair that isn’t stroller style.  He had plenty of width and his legs hung comfortably although didn’t quite meet the footrest.

    My one major concern this week is that the part of the chassis above the front wheel took a huge chunk out of my door, I would hate it to bash mine or someone else’s ankle as we would probably lose all of our skin!

    We have found that it is very much an Urban pram.  In shopping centres and on smooth pavements it pushes effortlessly but it definitely lets you down the minute you attempt any form of rougher terrain.  It was extremely difficult to push through the grass and I doubt the babies are experiencing a comfortable ride when “off road.”

    The basket is looks extremely small, it is very shallow but I have managed to fit a lot in there.  We went to holiday club and it had my coat, the rain cover, Spud’s bag, his lunchbox and his potty in.  I was happy that none of it would try and escape from the basket.  I also took it to the shop and fit one very full bag in along with the rain cover with plenty of space for more. (Note the very plastic look of the seat back)

    It takes a lot for a pushchair to impress me as much as the Urbo has so far and I can’t wait to take it out on some more adventures!


  8. I have space for more!

    August 17, 2011 by Lauren

    Earlier on I published “What do you mean I have enough?!” and the Hubby was huffing and puffing.  Before I set them up to take the photo they were dotted all over the place.  One in the garage, one in the car, one by the front door etc etc.  When I was putting them away I decided I would try and fit them ALL in the cupboard under the stairs.  I succeeded!

    WITH SPACE FOR MORE!!!!!!!

    In the cupboard under my stairs I have

    • Easywalker Duowalker Sky
    • Cosatto You2 Snap
    • Jané Slalom Reverse
    • Baby Jogger City Mini
    • Mamas and Papas Urbo
    • Maxi Cosi Elea

     

    Makes you wonder why Harry Potter complained so much!
