Some reviews here, see also Mumsnet reviews, seems to come top everywhere.

Hi, for the record, I have got this new pram and it is the bees knees for RA stricken childcarers who need a single pram. My right shoulder has been unfit for buggy duty since about December. Have bought an American brand called Baby Jogger City Mini. It's a three wheeler with a plain hoop handle that can push single handed easily. Much much lighter and smaller than the Phil and Ted's. And cheaper. Folds like a dream. Assembles easily. See youtube for demo videos. They also do doubles, side by side ones.

So, from my experience with 2 kids, here's my pram experience summarised:

1. Baby Jogger City Mini, light, simple, sturdy, seat recline and fold are featherlight easy on hand joints.
2. Phil and Ted's, best steering, very heavy though.
3. Maclaren XT Techno, light-ish, wonderfully small but oh the fold and seat recline are tough on RA hands.
4. Quinny Zap. Light. And that's about it.
5. Micralite. Never found a child who was comfy in one. Despite it being light. Also folding required hand and feet at same time, why bother?

This thread takes me back!! I remember well the days of shopping for a suitable buggy that would accommodate RA needs. I bought and sold so many I'm sure people were starting to think I was a dealer!! They all seemed okay in the shop but when it came to kerbs, shop doorways etc. they just didn't work. Never did find one that really suited (although I was after a twin buggy for the main part) and by the time Louis was born, the twins were 16 months old, I decided that with three little ones it was best just to not go out ... at all ... ever!!

I hope for everyone's sakes designs have improved drastically since then!

We have a Phil & Teds - I agree that it's very heavy, especially when you have a 4 and a 1 year old in it (thankfully that doesn't happenvery often these days as the 4 year old walks so much more now!!). It is also heavy to lift when empty but once you've got it up it's fantastic as it is so light to steer - I suffer quite badly with my right wrist but I can steer the P&T one handed no problem at all - when my wrist isn't bad that means I can drink a coffee and push at the same time - marvellous!! I also leave the second seat on all the time so I don't have to struggle to carry changing bags or shopping - it makes a huge basket!!
