The small wheels are designed for flat surfaces and are great for running errands around the town or going to the mall. When we were testing it, we found that the buckle definitely requires two hands to put it together and secure. I’ve not yet taken the Mamas and Papas stroller over very rough ground, but based on how it’s fared so far and the fact that the front wheels swivel or lock, I expect it would handle it fairly well.

I was looking for one stroller to take me from infant through toddler, something lightweight, easy to transport and this seems to be the one for me. You can get much cheaper strollers that have a few of the same features but I found the quality in this to be superior and if I’m keeping it from birth to four-years-old (and that’s just one kid), I want something that will last. Storing and transporting the pushchair is no problem with the easy to use, compact folding system that can be done with one hand in no time at all, meaning you can get out and about with more time to spare and without taking up too much space when travelling. To help with keeping the pushchair safe, the rear wheels a simple flip-flop brake that will keep the chair still while being easy and simple to use to help be more convenient to you on a daily basis. Yet the umbrella stroller was hard to steer with one hand, and as my kids got bigger they looked like a fat man squished into an airline seat on a transatlantic flight.Your child’s comfort is important, and with the Armadillo’s incredible recline and adjustable leg rest, we don't hesitate to give this stroller the Today's Parent Approved seal. When it came to reviewing the stroller’s quality, ease of use and value, all of our parent testers rated the stroller from good to very good, and said they would recommend it to other parents or parents-to-be. The canopy is not as large as the Armadillo and it is a two-hand fold, so this is where you have to weigh out what is important to you! Since, we live in India, i would actually need a stroller which has a good suspension since we have a lot of uneven roads.

Wearing my canvas summer shoes it’s not an issue at all, but I imagine if I were wearing open sandals I might hurt my foot or chip my nail varnish taking the brake off!The seat is easy to raise up and down with a pull cord and the footrest is adjustable so it is a good buggy for comfy napping. The stroller seems great and we are very happy with it and we are hoping that it will last our growing son a long time after he reaches 17 kg (God willing).
