RECARO Easylife (Sunshine)

This pushchair is absolutely brilliant for what we needed when travelling to China. In fact my two children love it so much they both want to use it! Firstly it's weight and size meant that we were able to take it into the cabin on the plane and when folded it fitted into the overhead lockers (Airbus A380) which was brilliant. It is very compact which has meant when moving around via train/taxi it folds up nicely out of the way. The wheels are another great thing as they handle the somewhat rough terrain we have to deal with very well and seem to be taking the punishment in their stride. The brakes work well and because they are foot operated make it easy to do in crowded environments such as the buses and underground. We have attached extra clips to ours so that we can carry a bit more stuff on days out which is useful as the under basket is not particularly big and when going up and down pavements here (some of which are huge) things can fall out - which makes dodging scooters interesting when trying to pick stuff up! The mechanism for folding and unfolding the pram is well thought out although it does take a bit of getting used to. I find I can now put it up easily by holding the push chair mid-air, releasing the mechanism and letting the pushchair open under gravity and it will normally lock into place. Folding it can be a little more tricky as you have to release the mechanism and know which parts to pull on to allow it to start folding. My only real criticism of the pram - is the under basket - It is pretty well designed with a high front and sides but the entry area at the back means things can fall out when tipping the pram. It would be nice if it was possible to have a cover over this so that things are less likely to fall out. However, overall my my wife, my kids and I all love this pram.

It was a difficult to choose a pushchair. We did want to have it light, compact, to fold well but at the same time suitable for tall people (6.6), and good and comfortable for our 8months baby. Now I cant say this pushchair is perfect. But we are impressed with it right out of the box. Its truly light and can be handled with one hand, but its not as sturdy as its made from lightweight material, however it doesn't feel like it'll break easy. It does fit in our Mazda 5 with all seats up. Its nice looking. And its comfortable . Yes shopping bag could be bigger, and for this price rain cover must be included. But the main thing it works very well.

So far so good. Is easier to close than open in my opinion. Very light and really easy to push. I bought this to replace a nuna pepp luxx as my 17 month old was looking a little cramped. The Easy life has much more room for him to grow and he looks more comfortable. Only gripes are that I had to buy the rain cover separately and they don't make a cosy toes for it. I'm tall (5.8) and the handle is a great height for me and my husband copes fine at 6ft.2. Folds really small and I can get both this and my older son's wheelchair in the boot of my car.

great buggy but bolt full out that holds up the back of the seat - was able to fix it but poor build quality if it just falls out... - recently the clip on the strap fell apart from normal use now the buggy is heading for the bin - had to McGuire my kid out of it in the end - could have been a great buggy

Really pleased with this nifty little pram. We bought it for the childminder run with our 9mo. It folds in a sec and doesn't take up any space so it's a godsend at pick up/drop off. I've tried it with the Skip Hop universal footmuff I had for my other pram and it's a perfect fit: I can even close the pram with the footmuff in it, result! We didn't buy the raincover and, while it's not a perfect fit, the one from the bigger pram does the job and should do so unless it's especially stormy. It remains easy to manoeuvre (while obviously less easy than the big expensive pram. I wouldn't really push it one handed). Everything is a bit lower/shorter so my husband needs to be careful to not step on the wheels and accidentally put the brake on. That happens to me too if I try to walk quickly but not a big issue. We haven't tried naps in it yet but it looks comfy enough of a bit bumpy. Our daughter likes it. This will also be our pram for going into town (London) and or holidays as I can easily carry baby on one side and lift the pram with two fingers from my other hand if I encounter stairs etc. Recommended. EDIT one year on: Still really happy with this. Our daughter now prefers it to the big expensive one because she can climb into it herself.

Fantastic stroller for my little one as expected from reviews folds so small and very light how ever its easy putting down but not the easiest to put up needing at least a foot and a hand or 2 hands only let down is the size of the shopping basket very very small and maybe struggle to fit a full bag for life sized carrier underneath and wish it came with a raincover for the price you’d think this would be included but actual product is definately 10/10 as mentioned above only 2 let downs but will be perfect for our holiday

Bought this mainly for overseas travel purposes as it can fit in overhead cabin, but have ended up using it quite frequently for short shopping trips as it's much smaller than our travel system. I keep this in my boot and there's still lots of space for shopping. After you get a hang of the mechanism it's easy to close and unfold in one swift motion with one hand, most the time. Very quick and easy to recline to sleeping position. Plenty of room for a slim 1.5 year old and can't see her growing out of it for another couple years. Similar criticisms to other reviews : small shopping basket, very little protection from the sun, so you need to get a seperate sunshade to protect baby, brakes are a little awkward to use, leg position is not adjustable. Comparable to other small models that fit in overhead locker such as mountain buggy nano (slightly more expensive for higher quality spec) and the gb cubit (cheaper, but more flimsy). Went with this in the end as it was only for infrequent use and it fitted our budget.

I wanted a pram to keep in the back of the car to use for shot journies and take on holiday. I wasn't keen on getting a McLaren so chose this pram and it's perfect! It's very light, compact and can be folded with one hand and slung in the back of the car. It's stylish and drives well and the baby is comfortable. Really pleased and worth the cost.
