I love this! It looks great and is so reasonably priced compared to others simular.
Easy to steer and I use it daily for busy school runs etc.
Only downside is that it isn't as smooth as it was when new, its becoming a little stiff to swing round and fold. - Strengths:

The pushchair is easy to put up wether you have it as a carry cot or use the car seat.
The only down point to his pram is that it is really fiddly to take the car seat off the pushchair so if you want something quick to collapse you would need to use the carry cot on it as it’s much easier - Strengths:

Although the design is good visually and the price is good if you are on a low budget I personally wouldn't recommend this as it is very wobbly and doesn't seem very stable or sturdy at all - Strengths:

Loved this pram with my daughter. Was so nice to push and she always looked so comfortable in it. Was super easy to convert from a carry cot to a pushchair seat by just clipping the underneath. Amazing - Strengths:

Excellent value for money! It’s looks gorgeous! The seat changes from a carrycot to a chair without the need for any additions. Seat can then be faced towards parent or forward facing. The footmuff is by far the best quality that I have ever used it is thick and keeps baby snug and warm and it’s included with the purchase. The only downfall on the Orb is that even when separated and collapsed it still takes up a fair space in the boot of a car. Overall it’s the best pram I’ve had!!

My absolute favourite pushchair. I used it with both my children when they were babies. The basket underneath could be bigger,but maybe is it just me. I highly recommend it for every new parents. - Strengths:

Maybe I was just unlucky.
I ordered this as I LOVED that it turned and was so easy to do, spent a long time looking for the pram perfect for me and thought this was it. Delivery was a nightmare and when arrived I even received one that looked like it had been used! So exchange for a new one. After maybe 4/5 months the pram broke and it would collapse (luckily didn’t happen with child was in it) I got another exchange but eventually same issue happed again so ended up getting a full refund! The store at the time also blamed me and said I used use the shopping basket underneath.. - Strengths:

<p>I love this so much! We had it in grey and honestly the best value for money! I was so sad when our boy got too big for it anymore! I love that it rotates so if your out and the suns in the babies eye you can easy rotate in the other direction without having to lift them out the seat! It came with such a lovely cosy toes that was a god send in the winter I still use it now for our new baby in his <a href="https://www.consobaby.co.uk/donkey-2-pushchair-bugaboo.html">bugaboo donkey pram</a>, it’s also so easy to clean aswell! The wheels are also easy to come off when you want to clean your pram!! 100% recommend this.</p> - Strengths:

Practical for taking in and out of the car but for myself it wasn't the greatest for going on long walks as it can be hard to steer. It's not the comfiest for my wee boy and rather narrow but a good travel buggy to have in the car for short journey's. - Strengths:

I love this product, I also really like the way the handle folds down makes it very easy to use when out to eat as the handle does not get in the way its also very easy to use and fold away, it was lightweight enough for me to fold away after having a emergency c section, love the cosy toe keeps my LG warm on these cold days, really worth the money as its an all in one ready for next stage when my LG is able to sit up.

We purchased this in 2016 for our son. We used it on an almost daily basis with him until he went into a buggy at 15 months. We had our second child in 2018 and decided to reuse it as it was still perfect condition. It’s definitely been worth the money.
The cosy toes is great quality, we didn’t use it much with my first as by the time we needed it he didn’t like his legs being contained but my daughter loves it.
Stylish, easy to fold and light weight. - Strengths:

I love this pram. I go out for long walks every day with my 4 month old. This pram is very easy to set up and to fold down. I Love how you can twist the pram round to face you or outwards and very easy to lie back and sit up for when baby falls asleep. Very comfy and warm. - Strengths:

Have used this pram since day one. Holds its quality. Really good as can spin the seat around and also double up as a high chair when you’re out for a meal when using the next part of the seat. Warm and snug for baby on all parts. Quite fiddly to put down, and need a big boot to fit both parts. - Strengths:

Absoloutly love my Mothercare Orb push chair. Came with carry cot , Mothercare Orb base and rain cover. Can be used with carry cot or with a car seat ( I have the maxi cosi pebble) or in a sitting up position for older children . Very nice to look at and fabric is durable and easy to clean. Also reasonably sized so when collapsed (which is also a very easy process push a button pull a handle and it collapses) fits well into my boot ( I have a ford focus) and the two biggest weels also come of making it even more space saving and saves having a filthy boot when going out in the rain! The inside of the carry cot is super cozy and kept my newborn warm throughout winter however without blankets is cool enough in the summer too. Useable from birth up and even converts from a carry cot into a sitting position for older children so no need to buy a seperate pushchair. I love the fact that it has the one hand swivel function which means you can move your child from forward facing to facing you. This is really convenient for when using the car seat with the base as when I go to cafe's or sit at tables with the baby in the push chair I can turn her around to face the table which I found kept my little girl entertained meaning she tolerated the push chair a little bit more. Only negatives are that there isn't much space under the push chair as raincover takes up most of the room. Also my mothercare orb has had a few bumps due to uneven terrain and is now a little rickity. Other than that would definately recommend and is much better than other similiar products I have used in the past. - Strengths:

This system is amazing I use it mainly with the cybex car seat at the moment due to space while travelling I have a Toyota Yaris an can’t even fit the wheels in without putting the seats down, however that’s more a problem with the car than the system !! It’s so convenient when out to eat feeding or shopping to use the swivel function handle can turn the baby without having to disturb her great for nap time !! - Strengths:

All kinds all its a good value for money pushchair compared to the more expensive brands. The main downside was the size it folds down to when putting in the car. We had a VW Golf which has a pretty decent size boot but when broke down this pushchair took most of the boot up which meant if going shopping had to either use the back seat or not take the pushchair. - Strengths:

<p>We recently bought the Mothercare orb after having a <a href="https://www.consobaby.co.uk/4-wheel-journey-travel-system-mothercare.html">Mothercare journey</a> and I'm so glad we did! It's a beautiful pram, the teal blue colour is lovely and compliments my baby boy so well. It's light, easy to push and comes with the softest cosy toes I have ever felt.<br />The only down side I would say is that it doesn't all fold up together and requires taking apart, which can take up alot of room in the car! But overall - we love!!!</p>

Description
The Mothercare 'Orb Pram' in Liquorice is the complete pram and pushchair system that grows with your baby.
The super one-hand rotation of the Orb pushchair allows parents to simply change the direction your baby faces when on the go. Parent facing mode can help to support the bond between parent and child, as well as creating an enviroment for communication and language development. Forward facing mode allows children to 'look and learn' whilst exploring the world around them. The chassis is made from lightweight but strong aluminium, and has a gunmetal finish that looks sleek and cool for the modern parent.
The chassis folds with one hand into an extra compact structure, suitable for putting in the boot of your car or saving space when storing the pram and pushchair system at home. Lockable front swivel wheels provide ultimate manoeuvrability and the quick release rear wheels make it easy for more room in the boot of the car or to clean up after a muddy walk.
The adjustable height handle is easily adjusted for each parents/carers use and the push on/off brakes are simple to engage with no more scuffed shoes!When paired with a Maxi Cosi CabrioFix or Pebble infant car seat and adaptors (both available separately), the Mothercare Orb Pram and Pushchair can be transformed into a complete travel system.
