Im on my third pram/pushchair now and my daughter is only 9 months old. I live on the second floor with a tiny post war lift with the pull back collapsable doors, its only fit for one person to enter. However, not taking in any consideration the stairs, living on the second floor and the lift cannot hold more than a shopping bag I went ahead and bought a three wheeler Graco system complete with car seat...the works on the pram. By the way IT WAS NOT SWIVEL WHEEL!!! With great difficulty in hoading the system and lifting it up and down the stairs, after three months I bought a cheap and chearfull one from Argos, it ended up in the Salvation Army. My First child will be 18 years this year and he had a Maclaren, and boy !! it was brill in those days...Initially I had refused to buy a Maclaren as everyone seemed to have one now and there are so so much types and styles of so many pushchairs, prams with suspension, brakes, indicator lights until I had to join them...........Well I now proudly own a Maclaren Triumph I can push with pride and nip up and down the two floors of stairs, run with, jog with, fit on the bus without apologising to anyone for running over there feet, not being refused by the bus driver and saying "sorry i've got one on 'ere already".....Now you cannot fold a three wheeler system hold baby, shopping and get on the bus in a few seconds could you?
Two short years of twenty and i'm proud to say LONG LIVE THE MACLAREN. And if I ever become a grandmother I will be buying a maclaren, as it is the upmost convienient affordable lightweight (you can even wear it on your shoulder) storage friendly pushchair there is.
This is a reasonable buggy and looks quite trendy. It has a good hood and raincover, and a nifty basket underneath. It moves very well and is good to push. On the down side however, it is very difficult to work the brake, I almost have to kick it! And the lie back is a dreadful design, impossible to do with a big toddler as you need strong fingers! Also the rubber protectors quickly fell off the lie back bars so all the metal frame gets scratched. I have found it quite ok for a second buggy for the car, but if I had to rely on an umbrella pushchair I'd rather put the money (as it wasn't especially cheap) towards a better design.

There is nothing I can fault this buggy by!!! It is fantastic! It is very lightweight, and folds easily with one hand. Perfect for when you have a wriggling baby in the other hand!!!
There is a rain cover included with it, it has a removeable hood, and has a 2 position padded seat. Evem Madonna has been seen out with baby Rocco in one of these prams!!! It is avaiable in a few gorgeous colours, and is very trendy looking!
