Big chunky wheels at the back, comfortable and warm

Front wheels are a bit weak and get suck, doesn't fold down with seat attached very well

Overall I love this pram. I bought it because of the back rear wheel as we live in the countryside so need it for the paths and roads. It's very stylish, I got a limited addition one, comfortable and cosy. My little boy loves it. I like that when the child is in the seat bit they can face in or out.
The front wheels however aren't the best, they always get suck and seem like they snap. It's also quite heavy and bulky in the car. - Strengths:

I love the look of this Pram, classic and simple. It has wheels with good tread and good suspension for all terrains. It can be a bit awkward to fold down, always meaning the basket hits the ground - which is not ideal when out in the wet/mud. The hood has a sun visor and clear panel to peek through which is handy, however it doesn’t come very far down, to protect baby from wind or to make it dark for baby to sleep! - Strengths:

This travel system is a dream from how it steers to how long baby can stay in it the storage basket ubderneath is fantastic if out and about doing shopping very sturdy pram handle height is adjustable which is great as mum is 5ft 7 and dad is 6ft 3 and granny is 5ft 2 so it was great that we can adjust tge handel height - Strengths:

We purchased this as our first pram but after 8 weeks, we bought another. We walked down a slight stoney pathway by our house and the wheels could not cope. My 6 weeks old who was in the carry cot was nearly pinged out to the point I had to carry him.
Also the carrycot didn't last past 8weeks (he was only on the 25th centile) as it wasn't long enough however the seat is bucketed.
You can change the whole seat angle but unfortunately you can't change the leg angle as it's static. The back and the bottom of the seat is at quiet an angle for a 8week old. The NHS recommend not to put babies in deep bucketed seats until 6m due to thier hips. Therefore we had to buy another pushchair.
On the occasion we did use it post 6m the seat looked really comfortable. The basket is huge and easy to access, which is great for food shopping. - Strengths:

Its so easy to fold away. Its lightweight and easy to steer. Its use from birth to toddler makes it good value for money. I used adaptors to fit my cabriofix car seat in the early days. Would recommend to anyone. - Strengths:

This pram is very stylish and is a good design. Bought in a bundle, it is value for money and will last. Its easy to collapse and put up. The large wheels are good and makes it easy to manoeuvre round, great on different terrain. All the parts are interchangeable that will alter as your baby grows. Very easy to use. - Strengths:

Lovely pram. I love that it is so easy to interchange between the car seat and bassinet. It seems a little pricey ( I got the 11 piece set) but when you consider that this pram is suitable from birth up till approx 4 years old, it pays for itself.
The handle height adjusts which is great as I am 5’6’’ and my partner is 6’3’’. This makes it very comfortable for anyone to use. The rain cover covers the whole pram and folds up very small so you can easily store it in the shopping basket.
I would recommend this pram to anyone that is looking - Strengths:

Its a good pushchair. Annoyed that I didnt check my boot first to make sure it all fit properly. The carrycot is big but no bigger than other pushchairs. On occasion the wheels are like a supermarket trolley. The basket has plenty of space for shopping - Strengths:

I have the pioneer Brompton edition and although it was a little pricey it is worth every penny. Get to steer and fold. The fact it’s so easy to go from car seat on the pushchair to the carry cot is extremely convenient. All round great product would highly recommend. - Strengths:

We purchased the pioneer pram as a travel set which we have found extremely useful. It’s extremey versatile, allowing you to swap between using the car seat on the chassis (with adaptors) or the carrycot. The pram is a lovely quality and comes available in a variety of colours (we have it in midnight blue), also allowing you to purchase different colours for the covers in the future if you have a different gender baby the next time. It’s extremely easy to use once you have been shown and has large storage under the pram. I would say that the frame is quite large and heavy due to having the larger wheels, so definitely check the dimensions of your boot before purchasing. I have a BMW 1 series and it just fits in my boot (frame and carrycot) with the ledge removed. I would also recommend checking that your car is on the approved list for using the car seat. Overall we are very impressed with this product!

The pros i found with this specific item are the basket is not too big not too shallow great for on the go parents, the frame is really sturdy I can fault it what so ever, spacious attachments for example the care seat is nice a deep cuddles baby, the carry cot I found makes baby feel safe and the seat unit allows baby to have as much safe moving room as possible also the steering bar is easy on the hands and wrists.
The cons I found with this product are the hood for the car seat does not come forward enough to shade baby from the light, the parasol does not stay up I've tried it everywhere on the pram and it always slides down to the left or right. - Strengths:

This has been a great pushchair.
I bought this for baby number 4 (girl) so we had a pink colour pack. We recently found out we are expecting baby number 5 but because this was such a great pushchair we decided to just buy a black colour pack.
I have the whole set (car seat, carry cot) and I can’t really fault it!!
I really love it. - Strengths:

This is overall a brilliant pushchair. It's very safe and durable. It's easy to use and very simple to fold away. The only bad part is it it a little bulky and you need to make sure you have a big boot on your car - Strengths:

Love this pram but make sure you have plenty of room in your car. Takes a bit of wriggling to get it into my polo especially with lie flat. Quick to fold down when your out on a windy and wet day. The pram feels good quality and mine has taking a lot of wear and still looks like a new pram. Everyone compliments me on the pram as it looks fab. - Strengths:

We wanted a timeless travel system, and this fit the bill completely. Our DD loves the pram, and it’s super comfy. We have never had a safety issue, and I can see this lasting us for years and years.
It would be great if the sun shade came down a little lower, and it is quite heavy to lift in and out of cars, but I would buy this again. - Strengths:

LOVED this travel system from the first push in the store. It’s a gorgeous design, so hard to pick which of the beautiful colours, and pushes like a dream! The carry cot is comfortable for baby to sleep in, and the upright seat is perfect for when baby is wanting to look around at the world. It has a large storage basket underneath which is perfect. Folding it down is nice and simple too. Highly recommend to anyone, would never chose another brand - Strengths:

We bought this travel system after reviewing many in stores. Being easy to fold down and take apart was the biggest selling point to us. Stylish look and even the option to purchase additional covers in different colour if you fancy a change. - Strengths:

For somebody does buy masses when shopping and doesn’t have a car this is an absolute dream! Stunning to push and a pleasure to have. However, getting it in and out the car while holding the baby isn’t easy by any means. I also found that when the basinette in on it’s difficult to take full advantage of the basket beneath - Strengths:

I had this travel system with my first she is now 2.5 years. I gave birth to my second baby when she was 22 months and bought an I candy peach 3 double but I only used it 3 times as I just couldn’t get used to it! This pram is my absolute favourite it’s a dream to push easy to manoeuvre, lovely design, sturdy, roomy and comfortable! - Strengths:
