If the nappy bag isn't too heavy I'll put it on the back of the pram and I haven't had a problem yet, i think now that DS is a bit heavier that helps too. These days I have a fold out nappy mat bag thingy that lives on the handles of the pram, and I put his water, snacks, toys etc in my bag if we're just doing a quick trip.

The seat does recline all the way back and there's a cushiony head support that looks pretty comfy. DS sleeps so well in it, he slept for 2.5 hours at the shops today, I ran out of things to look at! The only thing with the seat reclining is that once it's all the way down you can't get things in and out of the bottom very easily.

The hood is excellent, it has an extra zip that lowers it further when it's really bright.

The handles don't extend but Dh and I both find it comfy to push, I'm short and he's tall and we both like it...
