I bought this product as part of a package for use with my first child. She’s now turning two and it’s still in excellent condition. I now have a second child who also uses this product. The pieces are easy to change and have been excellent with our children.
On long days out we use the seat for our toddler and carry our newborn. But on short trips we change the piece over to use the carry cot for our newborn while our toddler walks.
The buggy is made to last and is still sturdy and strong considering we’ve had it for 2 years already.
I don’t see us needing to buy a new one any time soon either. - Strengths:

I absolutely love this pushchair. I bought this in the sake and would definitely have paid the full price. The quality is amazing! I love how it all folds together. We have the new Nissan micra and it fits perfectly in our boot with space still left. - Strengths:

I love this pushchair! I have it in cloud grey and think it’s so pretty!
On the practical side, find it super easy to use, I have recently moved from the carry cot to the normal pushchair and have found my little one loves it. It can lay flat and also be pulled up to a laid back and upright position which is super handy!
It’s easy to steal and very light. It’s also compact so easy to get through the hallway of my house!
It folds up easily and fits in my boot which was a big concern for me (Kia Picanto).
I would highly recommend it!

overall a good pushchair which will last a few years, we are happy with it but did buy a travel one as a top up as this was far too bulky and big for us to carry on around. perfect for city life. - Strengths:

I would highly recommend this pushchair my son and daughter love it they enjoy being in the push chair and are very comfortable. It's easy to steer and very well made. I love the colour and find it easy to clean. I've used this with both my kids, my 2 year old and 7 month old. I love its a big seat unit, ad my boy is a tall 2 year old and he looks comfortable. - Strengths:

This pushchair has been amazing. We've now been using it every day for nearly year and it still has plenty of wear in it to go. We got the bundle so from carry cot to chair. It's so easy to put up and back away. Folds down really small so can fit in most boots. Compartment at the bottom has plenty of room. Great safety strap on the handle which is an extra compared to most pushchairs - Strengths:

We have used this travel system with our baby who is now 5 months old. She loved sleeping in the carry cot although it only lasted about 6-8 weeks then she few out of it. We chose the flip xt2 as it folds down to a great size and fits in the boot of my Toyota Yaris. It looks good, the basket underneath is a great size and the handle extends to a good length for my tall husband. Things that would make it better would be - the positioning could do with an extra option- the flat position is almost too ‘flat’ and seems to almost be head down! The in between position is good for sleeping and the sitting up option is fine. However a one in between would be good so baby can see more what’s going on but not be too reclined.
The straps on the pushchair do not pull tight enough - we have used it as a pushchair rather than the carrycot since our baby was about 2 months old, she’s now 5 months and the straps still do not fully support her when she’s in the upright position. We thought it must be an error on our behalf so went back into mamas and papas and they agreed the straps were as tight as they could be, which is not tight enough!
It pushes and steers well although we don’t do much ‘outdoorsy’ walking so can’t say how good it is on all different terrains. The hood could do with coming down even further to protect little one from the sun. It’s fine when the pushchair is in the upright position but not good when she’s lying down. - Strengths:

This is my second M&P flip. I had the original flip with my first and it was a brilliant with my small car boot and shopping. I have now gone for the new flip Xt2 for my second child even though I have a much bigger car now. It is easy to steer even with my oldest on the buggie board. Compact easy fold. Seat unit is roomy, my first fit in his Um till.almost 4 years even though he was on the 90% for growth. Easy to convert between carry cot, car seat and seat unit both parent and world facing. Brilliant overall.
Delivery of seat unit was delayed by 2 weeks M&P customer service was fab and send out a £50 voucher for the delay. - Strengths:

I absolutely love my mamas and papas flip xt. It is such an easy pram to use! I love how small and compact it is, and the fact you can fold it all up together to pop away! It’s not too heavy so easy enough for me to use myself! I love how stylish it is as well. My little boy always seems comfortable in it and he loves going out for walks in the pram!
I always recommend this pram to anyone asking.
I also love the fact that if my baby falls asleep I can tilt the back of it further back for him to nap in it.

Bought this for my lb after trailing hours on the internet with different prams.
I am so glad I got this and wouldn’t change it.
I got it in colour chestnut.
I love how it can be forward and backward facing for baby as when he gets older he can have a look around.
It fold up small to so no worries about getting it in your boot!
It has 3 different sittings. Either laid down slight up or sat up right.
As 16kg it is classed as a lightweight pram however I do find it is a little heavy.

I bought this pushchair for my new born as a travel system. Love every part of the travel system. The push chair is so nice to push and my baby looks really comfy in it. The basket tailed on the floor and made a hole in the bottom but mamas and papas happily replaced the basket for me. Best pushchair I have ever owned. - Strengths:

We brought the XT as a bundle, which was good value for money, the maxi cosy base and car seat are perfect for comfy car journeys for baby, and easy to put in and out of the car, I wouldn’t be without an isofix base.
We found everything is easy to fit onto the pushchair, comfy carry cot and seat for baby and nice looking pushchair.
The extendable hood and handle is also a bonus.
The only negative really is that the pushchair is quite bulky and heavy to lift. - Strengths:

We purchased this travel system as it met our budget and my requirements for something which was lightweight. The bundle contains the frame, a car seat, isofix base, carry cot, pram and raincover.
The isofix base and car seat are absolutely fine, looks nice and comfortable for babe, easy to position handle.
The carrycot was lovely, nice mattress, and my little one loved being in this with all the space, it has a big hood for protection.
All parts are easy to attach and detatch from the frame. The frame is fairly easy to fold up, but occasionally it is temperamental in whether the handle wants to twist. It also regularly decides not to fold out easily as the wheels catch each other.
It is impossible for me to lift the pram whilst still attached to the frame, it’s far too so it has become a huge hassle to detached and attach it all the time. My husband is able to manage but we find it’s bulky.
The underneath storage basket is appalling, it drags along with barely anything in it. Within 8wks it was full of holes.
Overall, I would not recommend this pram. -

I tried this as well as the Occaro in store and the lightness of the Flip XT2 was the winner for me. It’s slightly narrower than the Occaro too but handles extremely well. The accessories which come with the Flip XT2 are lovely. I got a changing bag, bassinet and car seat as part of the package on special offer. -

Lovely pushchair, very easy to push and steer one handed. Large shopping basket.

I got this travel system after attending a mamas and papas event. We had tried a few and this was the best to fit our budget and needs. As we go on a few country holidays a year we wanted one that could withstand the terrain. We also wanted one that folded up nice and small as our house isn’t very large. So this was perfect.
In the bundle it comes with the pushchair/stroller. This has an amazingly large seat and the hood comes over nice and low to shade baby from the sun. This also comes with the raincover that fits easily and has a useful zip to get baby out quickly if needed. The seat can be parent facing or world facing which I really loved.
It also comes with the carrycot and mattress. What I love about the carrycot is because it has a hard base and “legs” at the bottom so it’s not sitting straight on the floor, baby can sleep in there for longer periods of time as there is plenty of ventilation. Some of the other carrycots we saw did not recommend this due to not having these features.
The bundle also had the Aton 5 car seat and base. As well as the adapters to put the car seat on the buggy and a cup holder.
The price we paid was really good for everything that was included, and we are really happy with the product.
A couple of weaknesses would be the instructions on how to put together are terrible. Recommend just searching online for a video tutorial. Also when it is folded with the seat attached it is really quite heavy, so not easy to move around when folded. But I do love that it can be folded with seat attached very easily, and doesn’t matter which way the seat is facing before folding.

I love this pram. Reasonably priced and looks great ( I bought it in chestnut and looks luxurious with lovely fabric). The seat is a good size so it should last up until the maximum weight. It can recline flat so can be used from birth theoretically however I found that the baby wasn't as comfortable so I used the matching bassinet ( bought separately) which was worth the money as super comfy, good size and shielded from weather. It isn't suitable for overnight sleeping as some prams are although I believe the mattress can be changed. The bassinet has to be removed before folding so 2 hands are required. The technique is easy enough though. With the seat until, one hand fold is possible as folds with seat attached and even stands by itself folded! The seat has 3 recline positions which I found super handy for when baby fell asleep when out and about. The hood is large and has a flap to keep an eye on the baby. It doesn't however specifically have UV protection. The seat and be used forward or rear facing which was great as I could change it as my baby grew and also on their mood!! The wheels are goid, easy to manoeuvre and I found great in the park on grass and pavements including cobbled streets! The pram is a little on the heavier side for me manageable and fits in our boot well when folded. My only real criticism is the basket which is too small, difficult to access when seat is attached and can droop with only minimal items inside. Overall a fabulous pram and I'd definitely buy it again! - Strengths:

This is a great buy. Although I don’t think I will get my money’s worth. It comes with the carry cot and the older kids seat. I purchased the foot muff and car seat adapters it has other accessories also. In all honesty it’s so practical to use the car seat and the frame more than the other pieces. The carry cot is beautiful. It’s large when you have a brand new born. They disappear under neath the cover. The cover keeps the wind and the cold from the baby. It’s very comfortable for baby. Easy to wash if needed. The cover snaps making it secure. Carry cot is great for naps when out and about and can also be great for a place to sleep if you are not home overnight. The seat is super comfy. Oh so complicated to put the foot muff on through the straps but I figured it out no thanks to the manual or online videos. It’s gorgeous and sturdy. The car seat adaptors are great but hard to figure out which way they should go in. The car seat sometimes appears to shake but after going in to mamas and papas I was told it’s for shock absorption ( not 100% convinced ) the brake is easy to put on but to take off you really need to push up with your foot and can be difficult depending on which shoes you have on. - Strengths:

Originally bought this pushchair for our second child for the wide seat as our first had ddh and required a hip spica and their pushchair was not wide enough, high risk pregnancy meant I didn’t want to pay a lot of money for a pushchair I may only be able to use for 5/6 months! The seat being so wide and the bumper bar being removable meant this was ideal. I love the fact it folded with the seat unit attached! Previously bought one that seat had to be removed so look up a lot of boot space this pushchair is so compact. - Strengths:
