Is the Bootiq Astro pram the same as the Bertini Shuttle?

[nic]

So we were quickly checking out some prams the other week, and we saw one which was called a Bootiq Astro Elite Pram (which is the bertini brand) and I noticed that it looked the same as the bertini shuttle.
Has anyone had a good look at the bootiq prams? Are they the same as the bertini shuttle? Anyone have a shuttle and opinions on them?

Just wanted to bump this back up to see if anyone knows?

I googled it and it looks exactly the same as the bertini shuttle sport which I dont think is made anymore as its been replaced with the X4 lite? or something like that... I have never seen the one you mentioned IRL but just from what I've seen online they most definitely look like the same pram!

Whoops had to edit this as I never gave my opinion on the shuttle.. I've had a shuttle sport and a normal shuttle and I do love them both, the sport looks a lot funkier but no added features really.. mag wheels instead of standard spoke wheels and just a nicer look to them.

They steer VERY easily, even with a toddler seat on. i found the toddler seat option didnt work for me with my girls so close I quickly had to change to a side by side twin pram. I got the bertini board for my 3 yr old but the handles too high and awkward to hold on to for him and even my daughter when she was not long turned 2 (much bigger than my son at 3 though) still couldnt reach properly. Lots of great features though and great if you've just got one bub, or a bub and an older toddler that would be walking before bub is old enough to want to sit up. The downside is its VERY bulky and heavy, the weight isnt a problem with it when pushing because of the 4wd but for lifting it in and out of the boot it is. If theres any specific questions you want answered about it feel free to PM me

Thanks so much for your reply Charmzy muchly appreciated.

Great to hear the shuttle stears easily. Our DD is 8, so we won't need to consider a toddler seat or the board....at least I think we won't LOL!

We are going to hopefully check them out again next week, the 'bootiq' one, and we have also been checking out the Love N Care Adiva Sports on line as well, so will be tracking that one down IRL if we can to compare the 2.

Thanks again
