I was impressed with how sturdy it is on cobbles, uneven surfaces and mud – which many travel prams don’t appear to be. This pushchair handles large kerbs well, although it took a little while to adapt to the longer shape of it and the wheels are further apart than I’m used to, affecting the balance when you tilt it up a pavement. How easy is it to manoeuvre the Push Me Pace? It also doesn’t stand up by itself so can be a bit awkward to store. Finally, lift the pram up, move the wheels together and secure it by fastening the hook above the wheelsĪ big drawback for me, however, is that I wasn’t able to fold it with one hand, so had to put my baby down.Then press the button behind the hood on the carrycot and fold it all the way down, in line with the handlebar.First push and squeeze the buttons on the sides of the handlebar and point it downwards.It’s pretty easy to fold down and pull up. The Push Me Pace can be folded as one piece, and I really like that you don’t need to remove the carrycot to do so.
“However, the stroller seat is of really good quality for older babies.” How do you fold the Red Kite Push Me Pace? “This, to me, made the carrycot part less effective,” she says. The fact that the carrycot transforms into the seat was a downside for MFM tester Rosie, though. In sit-up mode, the leg rest is adjustable to two positions, too. Once transformed into a seat, you can recline it to three different angles, which is helpful for when your child falls asleep. The Push Me Pace carrycot can be moved to an upright position at the click of a button, which is great. How easy is it to transform the carrycot into a seat? You can easily remove the carrycot from the frame by clicking the buttons on the sides and lifting it to detach it. He actually spent most of his time asleep but it was easy to see and talk to him when he was awake. I took Marley out on many walks in the pram and he found it cosy and easy to sleep in. The carrycot mattress is padded, though I didn’t like the fact that you can’t hide the seatbelts, which are used when it is in sit-up mode for older babies. It stayed in place in every position and shielded my baby from light rain. The Push Me Pace carrycot seems comfortable for Marley and I like how the cover zips closed to stop any wind getting in. How comfortable is the Red Kite Push Me Pace carrycot? Marley was born weighing 7lbs 8oz and is a large baby for his age so I’m not sure how long it will last as he already seems quite long for the seat unit. The pram goes from newborn to 22kg (around 6 years old) without needing a separate attachment, as the carrycot moves into the sit-up position.
What age is the Push Me Pace suitable for? In comparison, the Push Me Pace lacks in style, but is lighter than the Pod and sturdier than the Yoyo. I’ve also borrowed a friend’s Babyzen Yoyo travel buggy and loved its lightness, however I did find it slightly rickety on uneven surfaces. The only drawback is its weight – and it’s quite bulky to store. It has a sleek black leather look, and it’s amazingly sturdy on very rough terrain. I’ve been using the Pod Stroller – an £800 stroller with separate newborn and sit-up attachments and a car seat – which I love. How does the Red Kite Push Me Pace compare to other pushchairs you have tried? Overall, I was very pleased with how easy the set-up process was, although I was disappointed with the general style of the Push Me Pace once assembled as it’s not particularly chic.
The wheels attach/detach easily to the frame, and I was impressed that the carrycot converts to a sit-up seat for older babies at the touch of a button.
RED KITE TRAVEL SYSTEMS MANUAL
I hardly referred to the manual and actually found it easier to figure out myself, as some of the instructions’ drawings are slightly confusing. I was able to put together the pram in 10 minutes with my 4-month-old baby Marley watching patiently. The Isofix base came in a separate box, as you can choose whether or not to include it when you purchase the bundle. I was impressed that the pram arrived in one large box, which included the frame, carrycot and car seat. What were your first impressions of the Push Me Pace and was it easy to set up? She tested it on streets and parkland, and in supermarkets and cafes, near her home in London. First-time mum Jessica Rach tested the Red Kite Push Me Pace with her 4-month-old son Marley.
