MFM reviewer Kath put this buggy that is fun to drive to the ultimate test by driving it through rough dirt tracks, cobbles and grass with her infant, and she said that "it tackled all of these in a breeze and was pleasant to jog on." The rear wheels of 16 inches and the lockable'swivel' front wheels give great stability when tackling roadsides or uneven surfaces, and the tyres have built-in suspension for a smooth ride."
Sport verso is another world-first. It's an amazing single buggy, but it can easily be adapted to accommodate two (or more!) Once your family grows, you'll be able to use the same buggy. The fabric sling seats are positioned snugly within the frame at a perfect height to distribute weight evenly. This makes for more ease of pushing and a more comfortable curb-pop.
