This pram is exceptionally light, and has thus solved my back pain issues lugging around what can only be described as my previous 'tank pram.' I love that you can nip on the tube with it, and going up and down steps is no longer difficult. My only concern is the parent-facing option doesn't work- a design flaw as the wheels at the back rotate, making it near impossible to push it in a straight line. if you stick to the normal baby-facing-outward option, it works very well.
