Good points

Good Points

  • Suitable for newborn.
  • Reclining seat for second seat (main seat can only recline in single seat mode).
  • Adjustable handle height.
  • Sun mesh for second seat when installed at rear.
  • Hand-operated brakes.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Serious safety failure: The second seat (which was supplied separately and has an earlier manufacturing date than the main unit) has a harness that poses a strangulation hazard.
  • Minor safety failures: 1. The brake mechanism is not red and the surrounding components are not a contrasting colour, which we think does not meet the current standard. The manufacturer disagrees with our interpretation of the standard and has a certificate of compliance. 2. The harness did not meet all the requirements for securing the child.
  • Tyre pump not included.
  • The length adjusters for the shoulder and waist straps are too easy to release accidentally and might cause the child to be loosely harnessed.
  • Front seat cannot recline once rear seat is installed.
  • It is possible to accidentally do the buckle up incorrectly.
  • With second child in the seat, the bottom basket basically becomes a footrest so it can't be used efficiently.
