I have been using this buggy for the last 11 months and it has been great. Easy to steer and I can fold away and open one handed whilst holding baby. We have had the carrycot attachment and attaching and removing this is extremely easy also. It’s still a little heavy after a c section but was still one of the lightest buggies I tested out. Would definitely recommend.

I really like the pushchair, particularly the carry cot attachment and used this in the house instead of a Moses basket.Read more
The car seat attachments are handy for quick stops to the shops when baby is asleep rather than getting her out of her car seat.
We have just started using the pushchair as baby has outgrown the carry cot. I was unsure of it at first but we’ve now got the footmuff and it looks much more comfortable now.
We will be keeping the system for baby number two.

This pushchair was exactly what I was looking for. A beautiful pushchair that can be both parent and world facing but also managed to fold compactly (even fitting in my small boot). I'm able to fold the pushchair one handed which is brilliant and the pushchair itself handles great. I bought this after a travel system however you are able to buy adapters for the car seats if you like. Overall I feel this product, although a little pricey, is a brilliant buy, it's smart, sturdy and I feel it will last until my little girl no longer needs a pushchair. I would highly recommend.Read more - Strengths:

I bought the full Flip xt2 travel set in the chestnut tweed shade. The pram itself is beautiful, so we'll made and a very light weight system. It's easy to get in and out of the car and more importantly folds away quite small. The liner of the chair is like a memory foam so really comfy for a child and it comes with matching padded belt straps and accessories. Worth every penny. - Strengths:

Originally bought this pushchair for our second child for the wide seat as our first had ddh and required a hip spica and their pushchair was not wide enough, high risk pregnancy meant I didn’t want to pay a lot of money for a pushchair I may only be able to use for 5/6 months! The seat being so wide and the bumper bar being removable meant this was ideal. I love the fact it folded with the seat unit attached! Previously bought one that seat had to be removed so look up a lot of boot space this pushchair is so compact.Read more - Strengths:

We purchased this travel system as it met our budget and my requirements for something which was lightweight. The bundle contains the frame, a car seat, isofix base, carry cot, pram and raincover.Read more
The isofix base and car seat are absolutely fine, looks nice and comfortable for babe, easy to position handle.
The carrycot was lovely, nice mattress, and my little one loved being in this with all the space, it has a big hood for protection.
All parts are easy to attach and detatch from the frame. The frame is fairly easy to fold up, but occasionally it is temperamental in whether the handle wants to twist. It also regularly decides not to fold out easily as the wheels catch each other.
It is impossible for me to lift the pram whilst still attached to the frame, it’s far too so it has become a huge hassle to detached and attach it all the time. My husband is able to manage but we find it’s bulky.
The underneath storage basket is appalling, it drags along with barely anything in it. Within 8wks it was full of holes.
Overall, I would not recommend this pram. -

I bought this product as part of a package for use with my first child. She’s now turning two and it’s still in excellent condition. I now have a second child who also uses this product. The pieces are easy to change and have been excellent with our children.Read more
On long days out we use the seat for our toddler and carry our newborn. But on short trips we change the piece over to use the carry cot for our newborn while our toddler walks.
The buggy is made to last and is still sturdy and strong considering we’ve had it for 2 years already.
I don’t see us needing to buy a new one any time soon either. - Strengths:

Got a great deal when I bought this pram and I was really pleased with it!Read more
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 purchased this pushchairs for my 6 months old baby, as I was tired of using the bulky pushchairs I was given as a gift.Read more
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!! - Strengths:

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!! - Strengths:

We purchased this as a bundle deal which worked out amazing value for money direct from mamas and papas. I loved how easy it was to fold one handed and that you could put the car sea directly onto the frame with adaptors if baby was asleep in the car. The carry cot was such a fantastic accessory with the hard bottom meaning that you didn’t need to disturb baby if they fell asleep around peoples houses. However we did find that our son grew out of the carry cot quite quickly.Read more
We have just started using the next stage seat unit which when forward facing can be folded still attached to the frame. This seemed so much easier compared to taking all the components off the frame before folding and storing in the car. The seat unit lies completely flat for sleeping and the hood is extra big which was perfect for the sunny weather. The only negative point is the system felt quite bulky and heavy when all together which can be inconvenient when trying to get the pushchair in and out of the car with a clingy baby. However it has been perfect for what we needed it for and I wouldn’t strongly recommend this system to any of my friends or family. - Strengths:

We used this pram for the first 8 weeks after baby was born, there is nothing wrong with this pram you do need a bigger boot for the carry cot and chassis, and the breaks aren't the best, also it is not the easiest pram to set up. But the comfort and ease of this product to steer make this an amazing buy for the price. We still use this product as a back up/spare for when baby is with other family and will be used when baby can stay around family members homes for the night. Also, my sister loved it so much she will be using it when she finally gets to have the baby she so wants!Read more - Strengths:

We purchased this in a package with the carry cot, car seat, adapters and rain cover. I can use the Prams on my own and fold it to go in my car boot without any problem. It folds compact enough to fit in my hatchback along with a full weekly shop. It’s perfect for around town, I’ve taken it on a bumpy canal towpath and it survived but I wouldn’t class it as an off-road pram. My son has just about outgrown the carry cot at 2 months so not the best for tall babies! I love the fact it can be folded in parent facing. The basket is big enough to hold a few small bags, although it’s a bit difficult to access with the carry cot. All in all a great pram for every day useRead more - Strengths:

We live this pram. After having a mamas and papas pram for our eldest we were sure we were going to get another. This folds so neatly and fits in the boot of my Aygo. Baby sleeps well in it and I can do a decent shop and put it in the basket. - Strengths:

This product is made with good quality and comfortable for baby, baby enjoy time playing inside and easy to fall a sleep. It’s easy to unfold and fold it back, easy can take it for travel to everywhere. This is best product what I bought and I do recommend to other people to buy it, yes it’s a bit expensive but it’s worth it. - Strengths:

We have used this travel system with our baby who is now 5 months old. She loved sleeping in the carry cot although it only lasted about 6-8 weeks then she few out of it. We chose the flip xt2 as it folds down to a great size and fits in the boot of my Toyota Yaris. It looks good, the basket underneath is a great size and the handle extends to a good length for my tall husband. Things that would make it better would be - the positioning could do with an extra option- the flat position is almost too ‘flat’ and seems to almost be head down! The in between position is good for sleeping and the sitting up option is fine. However a one in between would be good so baby can see more what’s going on but not be too reclined.Read more
The straps on the pushchair do not pull tight enough - we have used it as a pushchair rather than the carrycot since our baby was about 2 months old, she’s now 5 months and the straps still do not fully support her when she’s in the upright position. We thought it must be an error on our behalf so went back into mamas and papas and they agreed the straps were as tight as they could be, which is not tight enough!
It pushes and steers well although we don’t do much ‘outdoorsy’ walking so can’t say how good it is on all different terrains. The hood could do with coming down even further to protect little one from the sun. It’s fine when the pushchair is in the upright position but not good when she’s lying down. - Strengths:

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! - Strengths:

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 - Strengths:

I bought this pram for my son and has lasted him up to 2 and a half years, due to the size of the seat. Although it has lasted to fit him, it does have some flaws. I do not use the pram an awful lot as my son walks a lot, however the leather handle has started to come away and has a few rips in. For the price of the pram it could be sustainable for long periods of use. Also, having looked at other prams I noticed there isn't a lot of support for when they are a little younger and I always found my son was slouching or slipping down whilst being in the seat. Apart from a few flaws, the pram is easy to fold, fits well in the car, is pretty easy to push with the exception of good suspension, if you want a pram to last for a long period of time it is definitely worth researching more about them.Read more - Strengths:

Overall, I really like the armadillo flip pram due to his ease of use, variety of colours, flexibility in using the bassinet or the sitting up attachment. However, I feel that compared to come other brands the chassis is a little flimsy and does not feel as solid. - Strengths:

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!

This mamas and papas flip pram is amazing from carrycot to pram. Takes one hand to fold the pram flat, this is so convenient when trying to get it into the car. The pram seat is large so will fit your child until 3-4 years and will still be ok as feet wouldn’t be touching the end. The luxury footmuff is amazingly warm in the winter months as it is fleece and cosy material.Read more
The only complaint I have with this pram is that it doesn’t always steer correctly in a straight line and sometimes goes the other way - Strengths:
