    I love my armadillo, best pushchair I've owned with both of my children. Would recommend to all my family and friends. Absolute value for money. Bit tough to keep it clean though

    Love love love this pram!!

    It was the first one we looked at and fell in love with it. We have the three bears pattern but they are all lovely and really modern looking. The basket is huge (massive plus for me) and has sides so nothing falls out.

    The best part to this pram is that it can be parent or world facing, we still have our 17 month old parent facing as she likes to chat to us.

    The pram folds easily, not quite one handed but not difficult and is relatively compact for its size.

    We couldn’t have picked a better pram if we had looked around before buying.

    This buggy has been my favourite purchase as a parent so far. We used the carry cot from birth and was really roomy until my son decided lying down wouldn't do. I love the fact that little one can remain parent facing comfortably for as long as you decide. He's two now and still prefers to be parent facing and have a chat whilst walking. Easily washable. Shower resistant. The hood is great and covers the whole seat if you forget a rain cover little.one won't get wet. Easy fold and not too heavy post c section to lift. It will be used for baby number 2 and has stood the test of time!

    Love this pushchair!! I bought this as a bundle so go the carry cot car seats / isofix etc. It’s so easy to put up and down, you can do it with one hand. Easy to swap seat around so it’s forward or rear facing. Big enough basket on the bottom. Easy to take off to clean. Easy steering.
    Really think highly of this pushchair.

    Bought this when travelling alone with my 20 month old. Was sturdy and comfy for him to sleep in and also easy to transport. One handed fold and easy to carry. Huge hood for napping out of the sun and also lays almost fully flat. Basket holds loads.

    We ordered this pushchair as part of a travel system for our.little one who is now 2 and a half. It has lasted so well that we will be using it for the new baby also.

    I chose this pushchair I initially due to the limited edition print that was available but found it to be a great pushchair. While it only has 3 recline positions they work from birth, being able to have your baby in a more relaxed position to being fully upright. The hood is huge so you get great sun shade for them or if you are only a few minutes from being indoors and the rain starts it is big enough to keep baby covered until you get there.

    The basket is huge and holds a decent amount for when you need to walk to the shops and it folds really easy and can be done with one hand. I also loved that it can be parent and world facing and have regularly used it both ways. It is large and roomy enough that my oldest still has plenty of room in it.

    My only grumps with this pushchair is that there is no bumper bar available to allow for attachmen of toys and books to keep babies entertained and the break is a tiny pedal on one side of the pushchair which can be problematic when getting on a bus and the break is at the side you can't reach with your foot.

    All in all though its a great pushchair and I would buy it again if I needed a replacement although I might upgrade to the flipxt2 for the bumper bar

    I’ve used this pram for 14 months now and it’s been amazing! We off road and city shop and it has NEVER failed me yet! The huge hood makes a great sunshade for bright days (and sleeping) the easy small fold makes transporting in my car a breeze!!

    I love this pram! I have the teal colour and I love it! Easy to attach car seat easy to attach carrycot. Only issue I have is the steering sometimes it locks into place and it’s hard to push it out other than that I love the pram :)

    This pram is amazing best thing I've bought, my little girl loves it and it lies flat for when she's fast asleep.
    Amazing to push and it is very spacious for both storage underneath and in the seat its self

    This pushchair is great investment as part of a travel system. I use mine with the bassinet and a cybex car seat.
    Now on baby number 2 and it still looks as stylish as the first time I used it.
    The one handed fold is amazing especially when out and about on your own. However, the frame still takes up a lot of room in the boot and the weight of the frame alone is quite heavy so this should be considered when trying the pushchair.

    Overall I am very impressed with this pushchair and glad of the choice I made three years ago!

    The pushchair generally is more flimsy than some others - but the good side to this is its much lighter.
    I found the folding easy, and it will fold with the chair bit still attached to the frame which is a massive bonus
    Steering is excellent, but wheels can easily get clogged with mud
    Basket is a really good size, but accessing the basket is not always easy
    Works well with adapters to use with car seat (we had cyber Aton q)
    Not so ideal for small babies, I feel like it’s become better as daughter is now more a toddler (18months), and feel like I’ve still got lots and lots of use left in it still

      Easy to fold, and can fold with seat in parent facing position which makes life quick and easy.

      Doesn't have the option to convert to double if you have second child and need tandem seat.

    We bought this travel system in 2016 when we had our son. It's a lovely system, beautifully made and good quality. Our son loves his buggy and always seemed comfortable.
    There is just over a 2 year age gap between our son & daughter and as a result discovered that the biggest downside to the flip xt is that it doesn't have a tandem seat. We've added a buggy board with seat but I'd ideally have preferred a proper seat on the buggy - an option like those available on similar priced travel systems.

    This is my favourite pushchair/pram I’ve had by far (and trust me I’ve had quite a few to say I have 2 children! )
    I have it in dark navy and I’ve had lots of compliments on it. I love the look of it, it’s a dream to steer even with one hand. The best part is the fold. It folds in one baby facing parent or visa versa. (The fold is a bit more compact with it facing out) You can fold with one hand, but it’s a bit heavy to pick up once folded.
    The basket is huge, I can keep the baby bag under plus shopping.
    The seat is massive and my 4 year old can still fit in it. The recline is great, both my boys have napped great in it.
    The hood is massive and has a peekaboo window with magnetic clasp so it doesn’t disturb baby.
    I would definitely recommend this pushchair / travel system.

    I bought this pushchair when expecting my first child as I thought it was perfect to be used from birth till my child was at least 3-4 years old. My little boy is now 2 and still fits perfectly in the pushchair! The seat is comfy and the different reclines are perfect when my little boy is sleeping. We love the sun canopy as if it is particularly windy or very sunny it can practically cover all of my child and protect him, it also means if it is raining slightly you don't have to mess around putting the rain cover on.
    It is very easy to fold and unfold and fits easily in my car boot, which is one of the reasons we picked it. The only thing that bugs me about it is the fact that you cant adjust the handle bar, and it is getting quite heavy to push around as my child grows. All in all, we are very happy with this!

    I bought this pushchair as my original one was too heavy and didn’t allow my 2month old to be able to sit up as she screams when she can’t see what’s going on. I tried the Priam in store with my baby in it and already she seemed much happier and comfier even when she is laid down she is much comfier. The hood is such a bonus as it comes almost all the way down and covers my baby from the sun which means I don’t have to use a parasol which is a big thing for me. The one real issue I have is it doesn’t come with a footmuff and as my baby is only 2 months it’s a real issue especially with winter coming so I’ve had to order one. There is also nowhere to put pram toys as they slip off the hood and there’s no bumper bar who I can’t have a bumper toy either. Other than that it’s easy to push and folds flat which makes it easier to get in and out of the car.

    Thrilled with this lovely buggy. Used for both my niece and nephew and now my beautiful daughter. Lovely bright colours to choose from. A hood that pulls all the way down to protect baby from the sun with a peep hole and the top for parents to check on little ones. Really easy to fold and unfold with baby in arms. Back reclines to 3 different heights. My little one loves it.

    I recently bought this for baby number two as I couldn’t stand having to remove the seat everytime I folded the pram up to go in the boot with our first pram. We ended end buying a stroller as soon as we could. This one looks like it will last a lot longer as it folds so easy there’s no reason to want to get rid of it quicker. The wheels on this are also much more compact than a lot of brands so it fits into my car boot (fiesta) where a lot of them had no chance. I got a good deal on precious little ones on the green and grey combo so if you are buying check out if any colours are cheaper. I got the package with the carry cot too for the newborn stage although the normal chair can also be used from birth as it lies flat although you might want to get a cocoon/footmuff if it’s the colder months for a bit more protection if using with the carry cot for a newborn. Overall love this pram so far!

    When we bought this pram there was very little on the market that folded as easily and compact and its purely for that reason that we bought the pram. It's not too heavy and easy to drive around. I wish the basket, which is massive, wasn't so weak and could hold heavier bits, I wish the hood would stay down when the seat is in the 2nd position (it some times flys back one click) and wish the frame was a bit more solid. If I were to buy a pram today I feel there's much more available to suit our needs but not at this price.

    We’ve had to send this back twice. Once to check it didn't have a fault where it flipped forward while in use and then a part snapped so it was repaired for us. Find it doesn't feel particularly strong and here play in the handle while pushing it. The biggest down side for us has been the lack of softness or suspension the minute it is off a completely flat surface. Particularly with the pram attachment! Our poor newborn was bounced about pretty badly!
    That said, it really lives in our car boot and folds nice and small for days out and about.

    We bought the Flip XT because we could see it would mean we wouldn’t need another buggy once baby became a toddler. The edge of the seat folds down so a toddler can reach the footrest, which is also close enough to the ground for a toddler to climb into independently. We also really loved the big hood (I don’t know why all prams don’t have this) and the fact it is easily put up and down with one hand. Although my mum does have trouble twisting the handle to fold it away. It was also one of the lightest prams we found, although it is still fairly heavy but I don’t think you can get away from that when you are buying a travel system pram from birth. The seat is also able to be switched very easily from front facing to outward facing, but it doesn’t fold as well if it is in the front facing position.
    Although this pram functions well and my baby seems comfortable in the cushioned seat, I do look at some of my friends prams with envy, as I feel this doesn’t quite cut it in the visual aesthetics department. Also, the tray underneath is very flimsy and if I put anything slightly heavy in it, it hangs quite low to the ground.
    I’ve had this 7 months now and I’m still happy with it, but I have had to buy another lightweight buggy for my mum to use as she just finds this too heavy and struggles to work the closing mechanism, which is sad because I thought for sure this pram would be the one and only one we would need.

    We got the gorgeous plum colour, fabric and padding is beautiful. Easy to fold and smaller than you'd expect for full pushchair (with seat). Can fold easy with one hand with baby in one arm too!!! Always a plus. One of biggest seats I've seen... I've tried a few with lots of nieces and nephews previous to having new baby.

    We did have to get repaired. Hood wouldn't stay up.. would fold down when baby laid flat. Was told batch was all same?? I'm not convinced. The wheels don't do well being used over rough terrain each day (ours bowed outwards) and the handle was leaning downward to the right. All this was corrected when took to shop though ??

    I love the pushchair when have to do my shopping too as huge basket.. Bigger than it looks. I won't be deterred by few faults that can be fixed easily

    The pram folds down and is a good size so doesn’t take up to much room in the boot of the car and is easy to put down when going on the bus or train. I like that you can have baby facing both ways so when you take baby out it can still be a bonding time for you and baby. The basket underneath the pram is very big and fits a good amount in so don’t have to worry to much about having to carry bags while pushing the pram.

    I love this pushchair. We purchased it for our little one when he was 8 months old as our Pram was too big and bulky taking up the entire boot of our car.
    The pram folds compact both parent and world facing. LO is now two and three months and still parent facing as we enjoy the conversation while he is in it. The pram seat is high up therefore making interaction easy. The seat is very roomy and large we are no where near out growing it.
    This pram had a few issues when it first came out with the clip mechanism failing on few pushchairs. Though we were one of those that sadly had the faulty pushchair I cannot fault Mamas and Papas customer service they were wonderful and we have had no problems with the replacement pushchair at all. I couldn’t recommend this pram enough it is stunning.
