It's simple to fold the Z-shape with one hand. Once you've gotten used to it, it's compact and only takes just a few seconds. However, our tester discovered the auto lock to be a little confusing. As the handlebar wasn't locked into position when you press it, it struck her legs when she was using it. She also thought the handlebar was on the shorter side. This is particularly true when a large changing bag is hanging from it.
This double stroller is not as light as other travel buggies. It's got a broad range of features, and is among the most versatile double strollers available on the market. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately) and offers multiple recline positions, and an UV 50+ canopy. You can also add a bassinet to one or both seats, and turn this into a travel system.
The four rubber composite tires are great for pavements as well as urban terrain. However, they're not made for off-roading. They struggled with gravel and long grass and there was not enough clearance between the wheel bracket and wheel and mud sank easily. However our tester was still enthralled riding this buggy, and it did get up to some beautiful muddy hills.

The hoods were also simple to adjust for wind or sun protection. Our test subjects did notice, however, that they didn't provide an extensive amount of coverage as something like the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods which is why it's worthwhile to pack a rain cover to be prepared in the event of.
