a new Solution for MINI owners with kids

Can't believe I am selling a competitors product But......

I have seen this product in the development and design process, seen where it it made, and I must say it looks amazing, and the best thing other than the styling has to be how small it folds, they say its the smallest pushchair (69cm in length) on the market and it doesn't need to go in the boot, as you can pop it on the passenger floor well.

Good tip - thanks Rakey

The site could be a bit better - try finding the details on the UK distributor. Unless I missed a shortcut you need to click the mouse button a WHOLE lot of times.

I'd also like to see in the FAQ what age this can be used up to. And see the buggy in use with kids in it. And see a real person putting it up.

Deffo one to consider

I guess the distributor list would be on the parent company website, www.quinny.com but its going to be in most good independant retailers and John Lewis will also be stocking it from what I have heard in the trade

Looks nice, but wonder how comfortable it will be for the kid (especially if they fall asleep) and what size it goes up to, also what height is it at for walking with, as I'd hate to be stooping pushing the buggy?

Oh yes, and the cost.

Question: How many mouse clicks does it take to find out there are no US Distributers on their web site?
Answer: 13,434.

Sheesh!! It looks nice, though!

apparently stock is on way to stores now, so will find out the price Monday hopefully for you, not going to be cheap though.

the seat has very little if any padding/comfort, thats so you buy the extra accessories normally, so get modding

never tell the customer how big it is when not folded, or they will realise that it will give them back pains

there are different laws/regulations for UK/Europe/USA that might be why its not there, but I would like to think that as the company that is making it is US owned (by Dural, same as Safety First, Maxi Cosi etc) that you might get something eventually like it.
