![]() With the rain lashing down, I had to retreat to a café to wait it out. While the seat is not heavily padded, he seemed very content in it for long periods, both awake and asleep, even pulling an hour and 45 minute nap on our first outing. The Push Me Cube has a close to flat recline, whereas our Summer Infant only goes back about two thirds of the way. Ralph loves to nap on the go and I rely on my pushchair for daytime sleeps. But not many buggies manage to navigate a beach anyway. The only times we got stuck or struggled a little were going down some very wild cobbled paths and over storm grates on holiday in Skiathos, and on sand. It performed brilliantly on bumpy slopes and paths covered in stones and twigs, so much so that Ralph fell asleep!Ĭobbles were fairly negotiable too, as was grass. This ease of use was replicated when we took the Push Me Cube to our local woods. The wheels on other buggies are prone to spinning sideways and stopping you pushing forward. This made lifting the pushchair up through a train door from the platform very smooth and stress-free. ![]() While the swivel wheels at the front do not have a lock option, they are very stable thanks to some solid looking suspension. It had a great ‘kerb pop’ too – no bumping, heaving or getting stuck halfway.īest of all, I could confidently push and turn one-handed with very little force required, meaning I could carry a coffee or a supermarket shopping basket without the buggy veering off in a different direction. The ride was smooth as we dodged puddles and whizzed over uneven bits of tarmac. It looked a little short but Ralph stayed perfectly dry, although an older child may end up with wet feet.īeforehand, I’d been worried the rubber wheels were rather flimsy but first impressions can be deceiving. Thankfully the rain cover was a cinch to put on, with a simple Velcro fastening around the handle and two Velcro straps at the bottom. Given how light the Push Me Cube is, I was feeling dubious about how well it would handle on our first outing – a 25-minute walk to the baby weigh-in clinic in torrential rain so bad that the pavement was a sea of standing water. It’s only eight sides but has very clear idiot-proof diagrams and text. Once up, we discovered the full manual hidden inside the basket. Cue much ribbing from my husband as he stepped in and got it first time. However, it took a few goes to unfold the buggy as the instruction label on the handle doesn’t mention the catch on the side that locks it in place. Music to the ears of anybody who has nightmares about Ikea flat packs. It’s ready to go straight from the box, apart from removing a few bits of packaging.
