    I bought this as a replacement for an icandy strawberry but it’s got a very plastic and unsturdy feel to it. I sent it back to the shop and got another pushchair. I think it’s good for it’s price range but I felt that it would easily break if used daily

    I absolutely love this pram. It ticks all the boxes for us. It's relatively lightweight and compact when folded, fits in my small car boot. There is a knack to folding and unfolding but once practiced this becomes easy and it can be done one handed whilst holding your baby when necessary.

    It's lie flat and suitable for use from birth, we got it as part of an offer which included the carycot however I've only ever used this on the pram a handful of times as I find it much easier to take out in the car in pushchair form, I wouldn't pay extra for the carycot as you really don't need it, the pushchair itself is so good. My baby finds it comfortable and is happy in it too. The seat can be parent facing or world facing and it can be folded in either set up unlike some other prams we looked at.

    The pram is solid and the wheels are chunky and handle off road surfaces such as grass and tracks well so far, the only time my daughter has seemed to find it uncomfortable was on cobbles.

    The brake is flip flop friendly too, which is great.

    It was an expensive item even in the sale, however it looks like it will be the only pram/pushchair we need and looks solid enough to last subsequent children too.

    We have it it chestnut, which I think is a nice practical colour and looks very smart.

    I walk miles each day woh mu baby in his pram. Both the carry cot and the car seat
    are fantastic. I've not yet tried the bigger seat as my baby is only 12 weeks old.

    Great purchase. Been using from birth - 3 years. The handle feels lush (leather) and not that horrible texture some pram handles are made from.
    Its so easy to put up and down. Like SO EASY.
    And when it's folded it's really small and can get in the boot of a Toyota Aygo!!

    We bought this pram For our holiday to save us taking our bulky travel system away. It is perfect for this as folds to take up minimal space, has a brilliant extra large hood and as our daughter will still only be 5/6 months old we lived that it lays flat and can parent face! Feels sturdy to push and the one hand fold system is really handy. Our daughter seems very comfortable in it and it is great for using on the tube/train extra as isnt bulky like some prams!

    I loved this pram!
    I brought this for my first born and it is great. So easy to steer and super smooth. I can easily collapse it one handed now, although it did take some getting used to. The design means you can easily dismantle the carry cot or collapse the whole thing whilst holding your baby.
    I love that it was so easy to steer (even with one hand) and if you live in the countryside like myself the wheels can easily be switched to improve the ease of going over any terrain such as through the woods.
    Over all I would definitely recommend this pram to any parent whether first time or experienced

    I purchased this pushchairs for my 6 months old baby, as I was tired of using the bulky pushchairs I was given as a gift.

    It is stylish, very easy to manoeuvre even for a novice like me! Different positions and the padding makes it comfortable for baby.
    I love the colour, although it can be stained if not careful.

    My walks are now an absolute pleasure, and traveling it no longer a bulky affair!!

    Got a great deal when I bought this pram and I was really pleased with it!
    Carrycot very light and easy to use, easy to flip car seat on and off.
    Only problem came when I was using the seat unit more and it would get stuck on the pram and be nearly impossible to remove!! The seat would also be very stiff to fold and I would have to push it really hard and it would snap down! (I think I had a faulty seat unit)
    If you do not have any problems with the seat it’s a really lovely pram!

    I recently picked this pushchair for my baby, after watching many reviews on YouTube and the staff advice I felt this was best one for us as a family. It has everything we need and will last us a long while. It's lightweight and easy to fold up and put back up, an be used on hard terrain. I wanted a pram that I could add accessories and it has plenty I can add to it VERY IMPRESSED

    Absolutely love this pushchair!! So stylish and is also so comfy for your wee one to sit in! Everyone always compliments how gorgeous my pram is when I’m out and about it and it’s easy to push!
    Weekness would be is it’s hard to flip it down but once you get the hang of it it’s fine!

    I love the quality of this pushchair. It is so luxurious. The seat is really nice and padded. It is so easy to fold and unfold. It is so easy to steer. I love the fact it can face me or away from me as my daughter is so nosey and like to look around but when she is asleep I like to be able to face her. It is slightly heavier than some other pushchairs however I can easily lift it in and out of the boot. The price is very competitive and there are always deals on this pushchair with bundles. I would highly recommend.
  • 4.75/5

      You can have it world facing or parent facing which is great.

    We bought this from the mamas and papas store. The staff were lovely and hopefully, showing us how to work and fold the pushchair. The pushchair is great from birth and is very comfortable. We had a little problem with the car seat adapters sticky and the store give us new ones with no problems.

    Whilst I was searching for a pushchair as a first time mum I had to find one that would fold up small enough to fit into my 40cm Toyota aygo boot! This is what lead me to find the flip xt2 and we bought it in the chestnut colour. This pushchair is perfect. It looks and feels great to push, there is so much storage space and it’s so practical! The wheels come off easily and so does the seat. There are other gorgeous parts you can add onto the pushchair like the carrycot and car seat using the adaptors. I actually found this pushchair for under £250 on amazon so keep your eyes peeled for deals, they are out there to be had!

    Amazing pram ! I wish I purchased this when I was pregnant as I brought a silvercross wayfarer but after just 4 months I went on to buy the mamas and papas ! I absolutely love it and it has better suspension than sc! The colours are amazing and my baby looks comfy !

    This pram is fantastic, we bought it as a bundle with the car seat and attachments for the pram as well as the Moses basket attachment which was perfect for when baby was young. We’ve got this in the chestnut colour and it’s gorgeous. It’s almost a year old now and is starting to age a little bit on the handlebar where I’ve had my bag hanging and the basket unscrews itself in one corner consistently. It’s very easy to fold when the pram is world facing, when its parent facing it seems to be a little bit awkward to fold up. It also doesn’t fold properly at all if there’s the foot muff attached.

    So quick to fold down and throw in the boot. My little man is so cosy in it and I love pushing it around as it's so smooth. Comes in and out of the car super easy for the school run. Can't fault it and would 100% recommended!

    We bought this pram with the intention of using it for our daughter and any subsequent child that followed........ the choice in colours was good. After testing many prams we found this to have the largest basket underneath which is strong and handy when out and about.... the frame was easy to put up and down, although heavier than some we tested. On a whole it is easy to manoeuvrer. We had quite a few problems with the wheels coming loose and falling off which we were told we were very unlucky to have had a problem with, mama's and papas did however arrange replacement wheels and eventually it was sent off for them to look at and we have had no further problems since it's return. Having had a silver cross pram for my oldest child I think the quality here is lesser for the price you pay. That being said I am pregnant with my third child and the pram has stood up to test so we will be using for my son also.

      Looks great, moves well and easy to use

    I have this is the chestnut tweed and absolutely love it. Comes with great accessories too. Very easy to steer and interchange various parts. Could just do with hood being slightly longer when baby is in a recline position and is a little on the heavy side to lift into boot but all in all a great quality product which I love!

    This is my favourite pushchair I have used.
    Reason being, is because this product is firstly, absolutely beautiful.
    The seat unit is lined with memory foam for extra comfort for the baby, you can also remove the fabric very easily to wash which is a bonus!
    To fold the pushchair is very simple, but quite recently with my pushchair the clip that you use to fold it, has unfortunately snapped off! But even so - this hasn’t effected the use of it for us.
    The pushchair has a large basket which can hold numerous items comfortably!
    It also has a separate bag at the front that you can put smaller items in.
    My other favourite to this pushchair is the hood.
    When the child is placed upright in the pushchair, the hood can come all the way over so it is touching their toes! If you’ve forgotten the rain cover - this will come In handy!
    You also have a zip to the back of the hood which has netting that allows more ventilation to the toddler/baby in the summer.
    The rain cover is also another favourite.
    They’re designed so they fit perfectly to this pushchair, you have a zip through the centre where you can open and shut the raincover as you please!
    I love the wheels and stability of this pushchair, as you go up curbs or bumps, the pushchair bounces instead of rattling and disturbing the child. The back wheels are reasonably larger than the front allowing the pushchair to move comfortably along tough surfaces.
    The only other negative to this pushchair is changing it from parent view - to world view.
    I thought this would be quite easy to do but I really struggle changing it, the buttons are placed at quite an awkward part of the seat unit, resulting in the top half of the seat unit causing you to strain your back because the heavier side pulls you forward.
    I have used this pushchair for my nearly 3 year old and my 7 month old, both of whom love it!
    In my opinion, I’d choose this pushchair

    We bought this pushchair as my sister has used it for both of her children and raved about it.
    It feels a good quality pushchair and the one handed fold down is brilliant when wrestling with a little one into the car.
    We managed to bag a bargain at mamas and papas outlet and picked this pushchair up for £299 including carry cot.

    Overall, I love this pushchair. Love the design, how easy it folds, it’s a small folding pushchair. One downfall is it can be quite heavy to lift to and from the boot of a car. It is such an easy pushchair to push. The seat is a lovely size and very cushioned. My baby always falls asleep and is very comfortable whether the seat is recliner or not. I love the fact it can parent and world face for when your child is a little older. Would definitely recommend the flip xt to other parents.
