The pushchair is so lovely to push, glides along so easily! It’s so comfortable for baby in each position. Handlebars can be adjusted to a few different heights. The only downside is the centre folding base doesn’t leave loads of room for storage underneath the pushchair. - Strengths:

Nice pram when using for newborn.... once i changed to using the actual chair i hated it and haven't used it since.... my child isn't actually sitting 'in' chair.... it looks as tho he's just being held in purely by the straps..... he doesn't feel comfortable in it at all. - Strengths:

Really enjoying my pram I don't drive so to have a pram that's good for lots of walking is good. But when hubby is of work we use the car all goes in well of boot of car and also adapters for our car seat is a dream. Rain cover fits perfect. All in all 5 star - Strengths:

All in all a good pram made to last and not to pricey like some of the prams I have tested ! I bought the pram from a local mothercare on offer with car seat for just under £300 and it came with a maxi cosi car seat, I bought the car seat adapters too so the car seat can attach to the pram base(very handy) it faces forward and rear facing which is nice when they are small and need to keep grabbing the dummy and checking on them as you do when a new mom! The base folds to quite compact and actually fits in my boot of my peugeot 107 (tiny car) - Strengths:

At first I thought this was the best pram on the market. It folds down nicely and the wheels come off super quick making it easy to get in the car.
Unfortunately the leather covering around the handle started coming away after a few weeks. The wheels started sticking making it difficult to push and it seems to be a wearing out quickly.
I loved the big wheels, the easy of taking it apart / putting it together and I like the fact you don't need a separate bassinet and seat as clips/straps mean you can turn the bassinet into the seat - Strengths:

I do really like this pram and it is the one I am currently using. However it's not great for a lot of off road use and the storage under the pushchair I find to small as I can even fit my changing bag in it! I also found you can't hang much on the bar as it tips up! - Strengths:

I would highly recommend the mothercare orb! It last from new born to 4 years old. It's so easy to steer and fold. You can also buy the maxi cosi car seat to clip in to the base so it's easier for when your going out in the car. - Strengths:

Very easy to use and lasts a long time. Thinking of using this same pram for my second child as it stays in mint condition. The swivel is great when they are in the pushchair as they can either face you or look at there surroundings facing the front! Loved this pram, I would highly recommend. Only down fall is they don’t have a car seat to match so you have to buy an adapter to allow another brand of car seat to fit on to the base. The front wheels have locks on to make them forward only or easier to turn, sometimes I tiniest knock or touch can turn this on and you have to walk round to the front to un click it, is love to say might just be an issue with mine but my friend had an orb that was exactly the same a few years ago, so even newer model hasn’t been debugged here. - Strengths:

Loved the mothercare orb. We had in a teal colour. Really smooth to push and a lovely looking pushchair. Attractive buggy. Easy to put together. However is quite small once the child gets to toddler age. And button would get a little sticky to fold the frame.

I found this product to be amazing, especially as I’m using it with my first child. It has only two parts with it and very easy to use and put together. The fact that it turns is great as I could move my baby out of the sun without having to take him out. It comes with a rain cover, a god send!! I’m looking forward to using the cosy toes in the winter as it looks so warm and inviting. My baby is very comfy in his pram and i couldn’t recommend it more.

I looked at many other prams and the mothercare orb was the most practical pram for me. Being able to change the position the child faces without having to remove the seat part was a bonus. The pram also folds down much smaller than most prams i tried. - Strengths:

I am absolutely in love with this pram I purchased it for my second born and it hands down beats my first travel system, it’s a lot smaller then most bulky systems but still so much room, I love that he can sit up of lay flat in a matter of second with only a clip and no separate seat units and also that he can World or parent face with the twist of the handle! Would buy for every child I have - Strengths:

I used the Orb for the best part of a year, lovely to handle and manoeuvre but not built to last if you walk a lot. I was using this pram every day for 2/3 hours and within 3 months the back wheels had bowed quite noticeably. Folding the pram was easy at first but with more use it began to stick making it almost impossible to fold. Maybe if you are planning to use this pram along with a car etc then it would be good but if it's for every day use and public transport i unfortunately wouldn't recommend it. - Strengths:

Absolutely amazing pram! Used it for 2 years with only one fault the cables that are used to recline and tilt the seat up snapped making it impossible for my son to lay down to nap.
Very quick and easy to put up and down. My favourite thing is you can rotate the seat while baby is in there, we received multiple compliments from mums and expectant mums at playgroups etc. The carry cot turn into the seat which is great because its quick and easy to sit a fussy baby up (the pram was the best thing for my colicky son). The cosy toes is lovely fleece inside very warm and snuggly.
Overall I love this pushchair, the quality is amazing for the price and i will keep recommending it to friends and family. - Strengths:

So we have the orb all terrain (foam tyres)
Colour - berry , absolute LOVE it, nice and bright!
Brilliant as a pram, also still able to change angle of it while in pram mode which was perfect for my reflux baby as I could slightly top him forward so that he was more comfortable. Obviously the fact that it can move from parent to world facing in all of a few seconds is brilliant, the only problem with that is that it sometimes feels a bit shaky because of the spinning function.
The front wheels have locks on to make them forward only or easier to turn, sometimes I tiniest knock or touch can turn this on and you have to walk round to the front to un click it, is love to say might just be an issue with mine but my friend had an orb that was exactly the same a few years ago, so even newer model hasn’t been debugged here.
A bit bulky for folding away, with a 14 plate astray boot only just fitting it... it’s a big boot and can just about fit the orb and maybe 3 bags of shopping in with it - Strengths:

<p>We have been using the Mothercare orb for 16 months as our full time pushchair and we really like it. We got ours in a deal when I was still pregnant. We long ago stopped attaching the <a href="https://www.consobaby.co.uk/pebble-car-seat-maxi-cosi.html">maxi Cosi pebble</a> into the chassis, but when you need to it’s great. The pram part is comfy for baby and when the time comes to switch to a pushchair, no seat to switch, just a few straps to tighten. Sometimes it does look like our little girl is suspended by the crotch and not too comfy, but We just readjust a few things and she’s sitting happy again.</p>
<p>This pram would be no good if you’ve got a small boot. It’s huge when needing to transport it. We’ve got a Vauxhall Astra and can fit the wheels and seat unit in the boot and absolutely nothing else!</p> -

I loved this pram when my daughter was a baby, I thought it was very smart and pretty. I loved pushing it, 8t was so easy and nice to push. Being able to rotate the seat was great, as I could rotate her to look away from me and look at what's in front and above. The carry cot turned into a seat so you didn't have two separate bits. - Strengths:

I absolutely love this pushchair and if I was to have another baby I would have the same one again. It is so quick and easy to put up and down. My favourite thing is you can rotate the seat while baby is in there if we go out for dinner I will rotate the seat so my little one is facing the table I have received a lot of comments about this people are very impressed. The carry cot turn into the seat which is great you don’t have a carry cot hanging around the house once your baby has grown out of it. The cosy toes is lovely fleece inside. Overall I love this pushchair and would highly recommend. - Strengths:

I adore this pushchair. It is lightweight and therefore really easy to push. It’s large wheels make use over grass, stones etc super easy work. The design is simple and makes sets up easy especially when other family members are using. For the cost I couldn’t ask for anything better!! I tried multiple pushchairs when buying and other cheaper than others I found I meet all of my requirements and more

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.
