With our first family holiday creeping up fast, all I have been able to think about is what we will need to take and how we will fit in all in the car! Typically my beloved Quinny Buzz Xtra pushchair has a small fault which was causing concern as to whether it would make the trip. So while I am waiting on a part to fix that issue, I bit the bullet and invested in a buggy, something I had been thinking about for a while.
Like all parents, I find getting out the house hard enough without having to lug the pushchair out and back in the car when at home for a quick trip to the shops or post office. Also when going on holiday you need something more compact and lighter than your usual pushchair. I spent an evening looking through my preferred baby retailers and opted for Boots as the buggy was on offer and I also had enough Advantage Card points. You will also soon discover I love nothing more than a bargain and there is no better bargain than FREE!
I ordered before 6pm and it was ready in store to collect fro, 12pm the next day!
It was really easy to assemble, just the two front wheels to pop on and a couple of cable ties to remove before unfolding it ready for use.
It features a 5 point safety harness which allowed it to fit snug and comfortably for Mr B.
Mamas & Papas Tour 2 Buggy in Deep Teal
Pros:
Lightweight (7.4kgs)
Comes with a full rain cover, larger hood and an integrated sun visor
Easy to carry with a carry handle when collapsed
A smooth ride for a buggy
Large seat
Easy to use adjustable back rest to lay flat for sleeping
Supportive backrest
Compact umbrella fold
Large shopping basket
Cons:
A little tricky to manoeuvre with one hand (I'm one of those calls, texts, reads emails, checks social media while pushing a pram).
The handles are slightly high for me (I'm 5ft 5”), so initially my arms ached a little but after a while they got used to the position.
Though advertised as suitable from birth I feel it best suits a baby of 6 months+.
Overall I am really happy with the buggy. Mr B enjoyed his trip to the shop and it was nice for me not to have such a heavy bulky pushchair for such a small journey. The large shopping basket is great because the one on my pushchair is a little limited. I love colour, even thought it isn't purple (my favourite). It fits perfectly in my cupboard under the stairs and also in the boot of my car. I had forgotten how big it can be!
