The handlebar was a little shorter than she would like and especially with the large changing bag hanging from it.

It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately) and has multiple recline positions and an UV 50+ canopy.

The four wheels made of rubber are perfect for pavements and urban terrain, but they're not built for off-roading - they struggled on gravel and long grass, and there isn't much space between the bracket and the wheel, so mud got stuck easily. That being said our tester was still enthralled riding this buggy, and it did manage to climb some pretty hilly terrains.

They also appreciated that the hoods were able to be moved back and forward and back, making them much easier to adjust in the sun or for wind protection.
