(NOTE all details & measurements on this page relate to the Armadillo Flip although many details are the same. Please check before buying.)

Very small folding. One handed fold. Looks smart and modern. Very long lie flat seat so suitable from birth - full length of 92cms with legs supported. Large basket. Adjustable leg rest. Large waterproof hood.

Difficult harness buckle to do up. Breaks easily into 5 pieces. Difficult to pull the seat back up from the recline position. Very reclined seat even in the upright position. Hood obscures access to a sleeping child even when folded back. Forward facing only.
