I have but i haven't yet used it as baby not here yet.

But i was talking to someone else with one and they love it we were in the middle of a huge dog walk and their LO was fast asleep all snuggled up.

I love mine and i cannot wait to use it i decided on this as when i am walking the hounds on my own i will be wearing the baby but with OH we wanted a pram / pushchair which can go off the road

We have it and I love it. My in-laws bought it for us when I was pregnant last time and we got it because we live in a little seaside village and the saleswoman recommended it for 'off-roading' on the beach etc. It's very sturdy and comfy but the only drawback is the tiny basket underneath - you'd get one shopping bag in there, max. I found the car seat a doddle to use and it clipped on and off the frame with ease.

I have bought the carrycot for the next bub as I felt it was something I would have benefitted from the first time. We live about 30mins from nearest decent shopping centre so I feel it is too long for a baby to be in the car seat for the entire round trip.

Depends which car seat as mine came with the Matrix pro which can lie flat like a carry cot or it can be used upright in a few postions in the pram or an upright carry cot.

I agree about the shopping basket but most 3 wheelers have smaller baskets

I have just come back from holidays in Wales and i saw quite alot of them on the beaches too

I have one and I am thinking about selling it.

My son has had it since birth. The matrix car seat is small for a carrycot, heavy and fiddly to put in the car. The pushchair itself is lovely except my son slouches. I feel he wont fit in it properly until he is about 2 (and he is big) as the bottom strap is too far low. The seat also doesnt sit him up properly which he gets cross at. As said the shopping basket is far too small.

It is gorgeous, very padded and warm. Great to push. Would be fantastic for country or seaside areas.

Thanks for the replies ladies. I am very taken with this pram, although online reviews do seem really mixed - a bit like Marmite - you either love it or hate it!!

I agree Weeplin that it does seem like an off-road pram, although that's fine by me, as that's what I'll be doing mostly.

I think I am going to call my local authority tomorrow and speak to their car seat advisor, just to make sure they recommend it. I love the fact it is better for bubs to lie flat, but of course, it must be super safe. If I get the green light from them, looks like this will be the one

Whoopie!! xxxx

I have the matrix cup car seat and i think it is one of the best and one lots of awards here and in Europe although i cannot remember off the top of my head. I know Jane is a Spanish company and i think it is better known in europe and alsoty of the safety awards are from europe too

I had one and loved it, it was gorgeous to push, the only reason I sold it is because it wouldn't fit in our car boot and would only fit in my sisters with the wheels popped off (which is sooooo easy though lol!) The actual seat is massive and I think if you were using that from newborn you'd benefit from a cosy footmuff. The proper carrycot is amazing and really cosy, IMO cosier than the Matrix and also bigger. We had the rebel car seat for ours which was easy to clip on and off the chassis.

I would highly recommend the Slalom and if we'd had our bigger car at the time we would've kept it!
