    I LOVE my firstwheels for the reasons you mentioned. They are they same width as a wheelchair so normal doorways are fine and I haven't had a checkout problem yet (use the wheelchair accessible ones if necessary). Also no problems getting around with it either - we took it to the show too!!! Trains can be a challenge but you just need to choose the correct side of the pole to enter through. Wouldn't try a bus though - too chicken!!

    I get lots of questions from people too because of the versatility

    ETA - if you do an internet search for purchasing you can get significant discounts. I got mine for half the RRP.

    Hi,
    Hopeing someone help me here! Im looking to but one of these prams and have chacked out all the web sites i can find but none mention if its a good walking pram, i want to mainly use it for walking - with the small wheels at the front are they any good for this? Or is it sturdy enough to be used as a walking pram?


    Thanks,
    Shell.

    It is sturdy enough - tried to PM you but couldn't get it through (you are turned off or not able to receive )

    Thanks Michelle. I think i've fixed the PM thing (??)

    Sorry, another question, do the front wheels get caught in footpath groves? (cant think of what these are actually called!) I read this on another site doing a google search.

    They do get stuck in a deeper crack / edge but not on normal footpath cracks.
