    Overall I really like this pushchair. Would buy again. Only con for me was the front wheels, apart from that I love everything else about it and design is superb.

    I have now had 2 Armadillos and have moved onto an Armadillo XT as I lost faith in the original model. The Armadillo comes in some beautiful colours, we had the stripe one and then the indigo as a replacement. It fits a car seat with adapters without removing the main seat which is very convenient. It lays right down and has a huge hood so fantastic for sleeping in. It is very spacey and would still fit almost 4 year old, but equally cosy for a smaller baby. It has a removable bumper bar and large basket. You can fold it with one hand and it's quite compact to say you have the whole pram folded up without taking the seat off. The only issue I had with it was that twice it broke in the same place after about 6-8 months of use - the back metal bar that joins the 2 rear wheels snapped at one side. Both times mamas and papas customer service were absolutely fantastic and replaced it the next day free of charge. Having googled it, it seems to be a common issue with this model. The second time it happened I went for an Armadillo XT as a replacement which is very similar but seems more sturdily made, I've been using that one for 2 years now and about to use it with a new baby and no signs of wear. I would imagine they have fixed the weak points by now as the last replacement I had was 2 years ago, if so I would thoroughly recommend the Armadillo and actually the whole Armadillo range, they really are amazing prams.

    I absolutely love this pushchair!! Fantastic seat size meaning my 16 month old still has loads of growing room! It’s also super padded you can see how comfy it is just by looking at it, the 5 point harness is easy to do up & in clip again with shoulders padding on the straps which are removable so great if they need washing. The best part is the one hand fold function... great especially if you are holding a crying baby/toddler as you can fold one handed & lift & place into the boot one handed also, I’ve had lots of comments in car parks on how amazing it looks to do it so quick with just one hand! The basket on this pushchair is also a decent size.

      Very sterdy and feels safe to use on a younger baby unlike most collapsible prams!

    • Weaknesses:

    I have used this for all 3 of my children and it’s absolutely fabulous its made to last obviously and its durability shows in how long we’ve had it. It’s the buggy my kids fight over as they say it is more comfy that the other stick one. The quality is great, id prefer it was easier to wash with it being yellow. Also the price is a bit high for the fact its a buggy by all means.

    I loved this pushchair for after a while it got hard to push my son in when he was only 18mths old. I'm only 5foot tall and the handle seemed to high and bulky for me.

    We bought this pushchair to travel long haul but it has become our permanent choice. It folds up with one flip to the size of a carry on suitcase. It goes flat which is great for sleeping out and about and the very large hood is great for sun protection. It’s very good value for money.

    His is the best stroller I have ever used. The seat is huge, nice large hood/seat with a high back and basket.
    The rain cover is nice and compact, not the type that swamp the whole chaise! The brake is very good except that it isn't very flip flop friendly.
    The whole stroller folds very compact and fits nicely in a KA boot with spare space for shopping.
    It is also quite light which is a big bonus when you have to fold it with little ones while getting on a bus etc.

    Why can I say! This pram is amazing, really good quality to money. So light to push and so easy to fold even one handed. The only con I can fault is how close the basket is to to pram, the size of the basket is brilliant though.

    This pushchair is brilliant for when your out and about especially when using public transport like buses. The easy one handed fold system is a life saver so easy! Can easily be done when holding the child in one hand and the other hand used to fold. The pushchair its self is fairly lightweight which is just the cherry on top. Overall a brilliant stylish pushchair that is super easy to use. Really recommend.

    We bought the armadillo pushchair from a local store after having returned our silvercross avia. We was looking for a lightweight easy pushchair as a spare, one that could easily be put in the car. This one is a dream. My daughter is 15 months old and I can see this pushchair lasting us a long time, she has so much room in both height and width of the pram. It lays flat, the hood is perfect for sunny days and the basket is very spacious. The pram is built to last, its very sturdy but so easy to manoeuvre. I would 100% recommend. The only down side is that the handle can't be adjusted but It's fine for me and my tall partner.

    We used this pram as our travel pram on a flight/trip to New York. Was great walking everywhere in the city,easy to maneuver and not too heavy! Excellent for folding down to go in the hold and very compact. The hood has great extension over baby, when it rained we didn't even need the rain over! Only downside was not being able to extend or move the handle ... Nothing major!

    We have been using this pushchair for over a year. It is very easy to fold, does not take a lot of space when folded either in the carboot or at home. Very convenient for small spaces / flats / cars.
    There is more than enough room for my toddler, it has a long and wide seat. Can be layed flat when baby / toddler is sleeping. The only small issue is the wheels don’t seem to be sturdy as I had hoped.
