This versatile 4-in-1 pushchair can be used in multiple modes. The large rubber tyres and all-wheel suspension with front swivel wheels make this pushchair really easy to steer and a smooth ride, even on rough terrain.
The seat padding and straps are comfortable for little ones, and my toddler enjoyed holding onto the bumper bar. Our tester particularly likes the spacious shopping basket and the fact that it can be accessed from the front or the back. The basket also has a zip-up pocket and water bottle holder inside — nice extra touches. We like the expandable hood with ventilation windows, too — perfect for warm weather. This is a really versatile and smart-looking pushchair. You can choose whether to push the stroller infront of you while running or attach it to your waist and pull it behind you.
Our tester, Oli Oakley, took it on her regaulr runs with her daughter on board. Overall, this is brilliantly designed pushchair for sporty parents. I love the way it looks and have had lots of compliments about my stylish buggy.
Read our full review of the Cybex Zeno pushchair. Easy to fold, carry and manoeuvre, this travel-friendly pushchair fits into the overhead storage compartment on an aeroplane and has an integrated carry strap with a leather shoulder pad.
It comes with a quilted seat liner, footmuff, cup holder, rain cover, buggy organiser, and a protective storage bag. You can recline the seat easily with one hand — useful when your baby nods off in the buggy— and you can attach a compatible infant carrier car seat to the frame to create a travel system. The storage bag has straps so you can wear it like a backpack — useful if your hands are full when travelling. The black and rose gold colour combination is very stylish — for such an affordable option, this looks really good.
Our tester commented on the extra accessories and thoughtful design details, such as the hood viewing window for keeping an eye on your baby; the adjustable leg rest for comfy naps; and the handy storage pouch for your valuables. Overall, this is an excellent buggy at a really affordable price. You can attach a Silver Cross infant carrier car seat to create a travel system. Our tester found this a little unwieldy going over curbs, up steps, and when pushing it uphill. This pushchair is very well made — robust and sturdy, and clearly designed to withstand years of everyday use.
The extendable sun canopy hood is effective at blocking out the sun and offering an extra layer of cosiness for naps. The leather bumper bar is articulated to fold with the stroller, which our tester thinks is a nice touch. This is a super-stylish pushchair designed in collaboration with singer Paloma Faith. We like the handy extra features for busy parents — a secure pocket in the hood and basket, a large rain cover and a cup holder. The bold, striking print makes it a hit with kids and a talking point with parents.
Friends loved the bold tiger print and cool, rose gold finish. The secure and well-hidden back pocket in the hood is really convenient for a mobile phone, wallet, face mask and other essentials. The rear foot brake and front wheel controls are easy to operate with one foot. The large rain cover is very secure, even in high winds on the beach, and the cover carries the same bold print as the pushchair so it still felt smart even in a downpour.
It kept things in the bottom basket dry too! The seat reclines almost horizontal, which is great for baby naps in the middle of the day, and the inside of the pram is dark, so she slept really well too. This pushchair is so stylish, our tester opted to take her sleeping baby out to a restaurant one evening. We love the excellent suspension and nippy swivel wheels. The frame is compatible with the Cybex Melio cot and the Cybex Cocoon S car seat, to create a complete travel system.
The full recline position is also practically flat like a first class airline seat. The rain cover gives good protection and has velcro tabs to keep the rear dry against splash-back from the pavement.
Our tester felt the basket was a good size but open to the elements and there are no pockets to stash your phone, wallet or baby essentials. When this pram arrived we were slightly disbelieving that a pram could fit in such a small box — but fit it did. Indeed, it can fit in overhead compartments on planes, and under train seats. Pushing the pram is easy, and it zoomed around the shops and over curbs.
For such a tiny pram, the basket underneath is also a good size. The sleek grey chassis can accommodate a seat unit or a bassinet, and it feels really smooth to operate. In fact, we were quite jealous of how comfortable our mini tester looked in it. And it looks good too — all smooth curves and glossy metal. Another thing we liked was the foot break, which was nicely sensitive and springy — much smoother than others we battled with.
Another smart thing we thought was clever was the elasticated insect net, which is stored under the footrest. We were blown away by the innovation of this pram. It is a 4-in-1 multi sport pram that allows you to run with it pushing in front of you, or you can remove the front wheel which is easy peasy and then attach it either to a bike or yourself, if you want to run hands free. Lastly, you can attach skis instead of wheels to the back and ski with it, if the climate cooperates and gives you snow.
This is a serious bit of kit, with large thin tires that really let it pick up some speed. The pod that your passenger sits in is cosy, with lots of mesh to make it airy, and the seat pad is nice and soft. You can fold it with the seat unit attached, but to get it in the car boot we had to remove the tires easy to do with no need for a tool. We loved the generous sun canopy with lift-up flap, and that there are lots of built-in pockets in the hood.
We also found the foot brake a bit sticky. Definitely the easiest to fold pram of the many, many prams we tried over the course of our testing. You can then pick it up and carry it using the padded bumper bar — and away we went to get on with our day. The seat has adequate padding, and the straps are padded too. The glide on it is great, and it has a really small turning circle. Nice little additions were the included rain cover and carry bag, which make this pram a really smart buy in the compact market.
Almost good to go out of the box, this pram is ready for a life on the road. We loved that you have the option of locking the front wheel for running, or unlocking it when negotiating the streets and shops — it offers the best of both worlds.
Another great touch is the secret pocket behind the hood for phones, keys and masks but you do need slim fingers to retrieve anything in there. There is also a hand brake, making it easy to slow when running. This was a muddy job after some runs, so definitely worth factoring in. Even so, we fell hard for this pram, both as a running buggy and for general use. The price is quite punchy compared to some other running prams but we think the difference in quality of the fabric, build and mechanisms is noticeable on the Thule.
The iCandy lime was a standout playing on testing. Keep your little one wrapped up warm on your next stroll with our best pram suits.
