Bad points

Bad Points

  • Lots of components to put together, and fiddly to attach the canopies
  • The 4 buckle tongues could be inadvertently inserted into the wrong buckle slots
  • Take care not to use the extra reclined position when the seat is rear-facing, as that recline position is intended for use only when the vehicle is folded
  • Difficult to pass through some door openings that aren't wide enough
  • Very awkward to release the lock which keeps the stroller frame folded
  • Very bulky, and feels very heavy to carry when folded
