We are awestruck by the fact that it's easy to open and close, regardless of whether you're in a rush or have hands full with kids.

During testing it was super easy to maneuver and tackled cobbles and bumpy roads as well as some massive kerbs. It was quite sturdy for a lightweight and compact buggy. The only downside is that the seat does not recline. But, since it's intended to travel it's not a big issue. The handle bar was fixed at a very high height, and not extremely adjustable. However, it was comfortable for tall and short adults during our tests.
