The Easywalker Mini Review

Easywalker are a brand that I highly recommend. I have tried out a number of their products over the last year and really loved the service that I have received and of course the product its self. You may have already seen my thoughts on the Easywalker June and the Easywalker Duo?  

Over recent months I have been trying out the new Mini stroller. The Mini stroller was born when Easywalker teamed up with Mini and produced this one of a kind pushchair. In true Mini style Easywalker have provided us with a number of different colour ways to reflect the vibrance of the Mini, and it is suffice to say that they are sure to turn the heads of passers by.

Available Colour Packs:

- Union Jack

- Chilli red

- Black Jack

- Laser Blue

The Easywalker Mini as a stroller is suitable for babies from the age of 6 months, but you can also purchase a pram cot separately which opens up the Mini to newborn babies. If I do go on to have anymore children, I will definitely be investing in the pram cot to go with my Mini. The Mini stroller will see your little one through until the buggy days are far behind you, the weight it can hold is up to 30kg which is around the ages of 7-9 years old! Not that you should probably need it into those ages, but if your child is a bit bigger then it is great to know that they won't be outgrowing it in the near future.

I have been road testing the Mini in the Union Jack colour way, it is bright and really fun to look at. I first saw it at the Baby Show back in May and instantly fell in love with it. Of course as soon as it arrived I had to get it all set up and take it out instantly for a joy ride.

What’s in the box?

In the Easywalker Mini box you will find:

- Pushchair Chasis

- Wheels x 4

- Rain cover

- Bumper Bar

- Instructions

You will have a separate box with your colour pack inside.

In this box you will find:

- Hood with extendable canopy

- Seat cover

- 5 point harness with attached belt padding

Setting up the Easywalker Mini

The Mini is relatively easy to get up and running, and is very similar to the assembly of the June. The seat unit comes attached to the chassis as standard, so all you need to do is un-clip the travel lock on the side in order to open out the pushchair. Extend the handle out and put it on its side so that you can attach the wheels, the wheels simply click into place.

The most work for the set-up of the Mini is actually located on the seat unit its self. You need to insert your chosen colour pack seat padding. Thread the 5 point harness and thread the hood onto the zip while getting the hinges to click into place. It was the hood that actually slowed my progress down, but I managed to get the Mini up and running pretty quickly and was ready to get it out on the open road.

Initial Impressions of the Easywalker Mini

I had incredibly high expectations for the Mini, partly because I have loved using the June so much and I knew that this new model had a few more luxuries included.

So what did I think now I had the Mini stood right in front of me? I was really impressed. I loved how it looked, and I was really pleased with the leather handlebar with the Mini logo pride of place in the centre. The Union Jack colour pack for me was the ultimate colour way, and it certainly looked the part against the black frame and white wheel rims.

There are many similarities between the June and the new Mini, and Easywalker seem to have kept everything that I loved about the June and just made it even better.

Putting the Easywalker Mini To The Test

The Easywalker Mini has all the aspects that I love on a off roading pushchair and the size and ease of an urban pushchair. For me it is the whole package. It gives me the freedom to leave the pavements behind and take a short cut across the field without any issues of the wheels getting stuck, and it also lets me nip off around the shopping centre. The size is one of the aspects that really amazes me about this pushchair, it does everything that a full size pushchair should, but is nowhere near as big as other models I have used over the years.

I can fit the Mini down the centre of a train which is a real bonus, if I am heading off anywhere and want to change carriages without actually getting off the train. If I need to collapse the Mini I can do so easily and store it away at the back of the train or with all of the luggage.

The size of the Mini means that it fits in the boot space of many smaller cars including my Peugeot 206 (and of course the boot of the Mini).

Here is a list of cars that the Mini will comfortably fit in:

The Mini is a very sturdy pushchair and when in use I have never felt that it didn't stand up to expectations, the frame is well constructed and you can really feel this in it's everyday use. The suspension is fantastic, just ask Leo as he doesn't seem to realise just how shocking my pram driving still is even 2 years later... And that is down to the Mini.

The Mini is equipped with four suspension and shock absorbing, all terrain wheels. This is why the ride is such a smooth one despite the terrain you are traveling along. These wheels are firm favorites with me as it just means that the Mini takes everything in it's stride.

The leather handle bar is a feature that I really like on the Mini, it makes pushing this pushchair even more like driving a Mini car. The handlebar can be extended or lowered using the clips on either side of the Mini stroller, it caters for both Luke and myself and he likes that he can get the height that he needs out of the Mini.

The comfort hasn't just been thought out for the parents however, the seat unit sits Leo comfortably with the option of having him reclined if he does fall asleep while we are out and about. The lever for the recline is actually situated under the front of the seat unit, it simply requires you to squeeze it and push backwards and it will slide into position.

The Mini logo is embossed on the leather handlebar and has been included in the branding process, if you are looking into this pushchair because of the Mini connection then you really won't be disappointed. While I have been out and about with this stroller it really has turned heads with it's vibrant colours and jet black frame, and people have definitely recognised the Mini connection. While I was travelling on a train with Leo in the Mini, a young couple who had no children were admiring it. It started off as the young lady spotting it and pointing it out to her partner, I heard them talking about how nice it was... and then I heard the man tell his partner that there was no way they were having a baby!

The hood is another great feature on this stroller, you can heighten or lower the hood depending on the babies height or where the sun is currently positioned in the sky. I like to have this flexibility to be able to solve Leo's discomfort if the sun is glaring in his eyes, it is simply a case of  lowering the hood and popping out the sun visor.

The brakes on the Mini are so simple to use, it is a kick on kick off brake that you can use with ease. This means even if you are wearing your flip flops in the height of the summer, you will be able to use this brake with no problem at all. Heck I could even do this in heels if I was brave enough!

The shopping basket is a reasonable size, it's not the biggest but I have always managed to get everything that I need inside. The changing bag sits comfortably on the handle of the stroller so I don't need to worry about storing that in the basket anyway. It is big enough to fit a few bags of shopping in the bottom (of course depending on what you buy).

Collapsing/Erecting the Easywalker Mini

Now opening the Mini up is a really simple task, and only requires you to un-lock the transport lock and pull up the handle so that you can lock it into the open position.

Closing the Mini is something that I sometimes find a really simple task, and others I just can’t get it to co-operate with me. Firstly you need to recline the seat unit, then you need to squeeze the buttons on either side of the frame. Wait until you hear a ‘click’ and then you can collapse the pushchair down. Once the pushchair is collapsed you just need to do up the travel lock.

Conclusion

Over all I really love the Easywalker Mini, it is everything that I need in a stroller. From a practical point of view it's the actual size and weight of the Mini (even with my 2 year old in it) to being able to fit it in my car that score the Mini big brownie points. From a materialistic point of view I love just how it looks, there are so many different ways you can have your Mini looking as you can invest in different colour packs as you go on.

The Easywalker Mini retails at £609.99 and is at the higher spectrum of the stroller market, but I can quite honestly say that the product you receive for your money is fantastic. The quality and materials used to complete the Mini are second to none, I personally love this stroller and it really is my pushchair of choice.

The Adventures Of The Easywalker June Continue...

We have been using the Easywalker June for a year now, and I have say that I still love it as much as I ever did. What I consistently love about the June is just how compact it is, after using other pushchairs after the June, I have found a new appreciation for just how compact it is. I can comfortable fit the June in my car and it takes up minimal room, and this for me is a very important factor.

In this adventure I will be telling you all about our trip to the beach, but if you wanted to see the June in the snowy conditions of last year then you can view those images here.

The June has accompanied me many places and even very almost appeared in the Daily Mail after we visited an event last year. Imogen Thomas was having her photo taken just in front of where I had parked my June. So THAT right there is my June's claim to fame!

Back in May my family visited Devon for a weeks break, I took the June along as my choice of pushchair because I had been waiting for a chance to take it to the beach. I wanted to see just how well the June would cope with the sandy terrain, so that is exactly what I did.

Walking down the sea front was as easy as it ever was, the June drove beautifully with a very excited Leo at the helm. As we walked closer to the beach the more sand we encountered on the path, this didn't effect the June in the slightest and we carried on our merry way.

I decided to walk the June down onto the beach just to see if the wheels could cope with such a high volume of sand. As the sand got deeper I started to notice that it was slowly but surely getting harder to push, until I could no longer move it any more. 

This beach had deep sand in places and this is where we struggled taking the June. For the most part though the June handled incredibly well, but I do think that it would probably do better on a pebbled beach rather than such a sandy one like the one we frequented.

Leo is now 27 months old and I still find the June light and easy to steer. It is everything that I need in a pushchair as I have the freedom to go where I please without having to really consider whether or not the wheels can hack it or not. Because the wheels really can hack it.

Back in August we had a little mishap with the wheels... I made the mistake of asking Luke to put some air in all four of them so that they were ready for a trip to Legoland. But Luke somehow managed to put to much air in the wheels which caused one of them to go bang. So make sure you read the instructions before you decide to get a little bit too carried away with the air like Luke did....

The June is now back on the road with a new wheel and is set to go on many more adventures. I am passing the June over to my friend Lucy at Mummy Speaks Aloud to try out with her girls. Lucy will be sharing her personal experiences with the June so that she can give you all a second review. This second review will be an interesting comparison as Lucy has a 2 year old, and a baby under one.

In the June's absence I will be putting Easywalker's latest stroller through it's paces. I am very excited to be trying out the new Easywalker Mini, and I will be sharing our latest and greatest adventures right here on the blog.

Keep your eyes pealed for the full review and see where we end up as we get to know the very smart, and very savvy Easywalker Mini.

The Easywalker Duo Review

Over the last year I have been using the Easywalker June and even now it is my favourite to use. I find Easywalker such a super company, they have always been so quick to help me out if I have any questions or need assistance. Above all else Easywalker offer high quality products to parents, whether they are after a single stroller or a double. 

Of course for me personally I only have the need for a single, and the June has for filled this requirement perfectly. With this said though, my Mum found herself in need of a double pushchair when Leo's little cousin joined him at Granny's house, when his Mum went back to work after her maternity leave.

I had never really had a look at the double pushchair range on the market before this, but with a list of requirements in mind I began having a look online to see what was out there. My Mum actually suffers with Rheumatoid Arthritis so this was something I had to take into account while on the hunt for a double stroller that she would be able to use with the boys.   

Easywalker very kindly sent my Mum the Easywalker Duo in Berry Red to try out, I was very excited to see how this stood up to the June and see how she got on with it.

The Duo is an all terrain pushchair with big air filled wheels that really can take you anywhere and everywhere. It is strong and sturdy and surprisingly higher than any other pushchair that I have ever come across. It comes in 4 different colours, so if the Berry Red is a little bit too bright for you then why not take a look at:

- Ocean Blue

- Coal Black

- Olive Green 

What's in the box?

- Pushchair Frame - with the two seats already attached

- Bumper Bar

- Instruction Manual

The Duo arrived in a big cardboard box, very well packaged to ensure safe delivery. I found the set up relatively straight forward as the seats come attached to the frame so all I really had to do was to attach the wheels and open up the pushchair it's self. 

On first set up I soon realised that there was a problem with one of the buttons that is used to attach the front wheel. The first button had pulled down perfectly and allowed me to simply attach the wheel, but the second button was jammed and there was nothing I could do in order to pull it back out in order to attach the second front wheel. Instead of forcing the jammed button I contacted Easywalker, sent in a photo of my problem and also a little video just to demonstrate what the actual issue was. 

In true Easywalker style I was replied to straight away and the Duo was re-called and a new one issued in it's place. I truly cannot fault the customer service that I received and how I was looked after, it was really efficient and fast.

A new Duo arrived within that same week and in no time at all I had it all set up and ready to go, the new Duo was exactly how it should be and I know that these things can happen every now and again. Ultimately it is how the customer and the problem is looked after that makes the experience, and Easywalker really do look after their customers.

First Impressions

The Duo is actually quite heavy when it is all folded up, and I did wonder how I would manage to get it in and out of my Mum's 4x4 as it is quite a weight to lift into her high boot. I knew there and then that my Mum would struggle with the weight of the pushchair when collapsed. When the Duo is erect and ready to hit the road it is a completely different scenario, it is really light and easy to push around, perfect for my Mum when she was out and about with both of the boys. 

I think it is the wheels and the great suspension that make this heavy double a dream to push around. Even with both boys in the seat their weight is distributed and you wouldn't even know they are in there. Leo is 2 years old and his cousin is just about to turn one, so they are not the littlest of boys anymore.

I love how the Duo looks, it is a very smart pushchair and the big wheels open up a wealth of off road destinations that you can journey too. Air filled wheels are one of my biggest loves on a pushchair and are perfect if you like to go out of your typical urban setting. Visiting the park and trekking across grassy terrain is made a doddle and you experience no resistance as you bumble along. 

The quality in this pushchair is apparent from the offset and is sure to turn many heads on your travels. 

I thought it was easy to put up and down, there is a red button on the right hand side of the Duo that you need to push down, and then you need to push the two clips in order to be able to collapse the pushchair and do up the travel safety clip. As I mentioned above, the Duo is bulky when folded and definitely not the lightest of pushchairs. But to get such a versatile pushchair that has the ability to go to all of these different locations that your average double pushchair would flounder, I really think that it is worth it for these features.

Out and about

Going out and about with two little ones can be a mission in it's self so you really want something that can comfortably sit them both. I absolutely love how much room there is in the Duo seats, especially for Leo as he is really getting big these days. Although Leo is putting on size and becoming a proper little boy, he does still rely heavily on being in a pushchair, so Granny definitely needs a double for when Leo get's tired and of course just to keep him where he is supposed to be. Both Leo and his cousin have so much room in the Duo and even though they are sat right next to each other, they have enough distance to not actively bother each other.

Granny does struggle to put the Duo in and out of the car due to her Arthritis, so this is something I tend to do before I go to work if I know she is going to be using it that day. Putting it in and out of the high boot even for me is a mission because of the weight of it, and dropping it on your feet can leave you with a bit of a bruise (I found this out the hard way). Luckily we don't live too far from town, and it can be a nice walk in the right weather so Granny has mainly taken to walking into the town centre with the Duo and taking the grandkids down to the park to feed the ducks.

If you have a big car with a very roomy boot then you should be able to fit the Duo in, Granny has a Rexton 4x4 and it does fit in the boot with no problems at all. 

We have found that we can fit the Easywalker Duo through our front door into the family home, and it can even sit in the hallway when not in use. It fits through most doorways and hasn't stopped Granny darting around the shops.

I am really impressed with how easy it is to get around with the Duo, and with just how much space the kid's both have at the same time. When the pushchair is up and in use it is so easy to navigate and cruise around, it is even easy to push one handed, and I even struggle with that with my Easywalker June. You defiantly forget about how heavy it is when it is collapsed.

The Duo comfortably and safely transports two children, and is such a practical choice for parents of twins or children of multiple ages. You can add on a carry cot or even two. You can use one travel cot and one seat unit. There is a travel solution for every parent of to two little ones, and I know that Granny is really pleased with the Duo for both of her Grandchildren.   

The seat units have 7 recline positions 

One big positive to having a double pushchair has to be having two shopping baskets. I know when I am out and about I often wish I had more space to store things, especially when I have an over filling changing bag it is nice too be able to overload into the shopping basket. Having two gives you so much extra space and is space that has been constructively used to give us practical storage. 

The baskets are generous in size and have zips at the very front in order to extend them further. I have found that we can fit everything that we need for both boys inside them and still have easy access to everything while out and about. Having the two baskets has even given Granny the chance to leave the changing bag at home on occasion depending upon where they are going.

The breaks are so simple to click on and off no matter what shoes you are wearing. I love the simple ease of using these breaks as they click on as soon as you push the pedal and straight back off again when you kick it back up.

Both of the hoods on the Duo are reasonable in size and have an extra extendable sun canopy that you can just flick out when you need it. When you don't need the extra sun canopy you can simply tuck it back under the hood so that it is out of the way.

Putting the Duo Up & Down

As for the folding and un-folding of this pushchair, it really is easy.

To put it up all you need to do is unlock the travel clip and open up the frame by pulling on the handle.

To put it down you need to push up the black buttons on either side of the frame, and then push down the red button on the right hand side of the pushchair. Then by pushing the frame down it will collapse.

Our Over All Thoughts

Over all we really love our Duo, we find it practical and comfortable for the two wriggle monsters. We adore how sturdy and sound it is. It looks great and has been a real head turner as Granny has taken it out and about. Lot's of people have stopped her to compliment her on her big red wheels and asked all about what brand of pushchair it is. It is safe to say that those who weren't familiar with Easywalker, know all about them know!

I am so impressed that such a big all terrain pushchair can be so light and easy to maneuver. I would highly recommend the Duo for new parents expecting twins or are expecting their second child when they will still need a pushchair.

You can find out more information on the Easywalker Duo via the official website.

If you are looking to purchase the Duo, Pramworld currently have it on sale for £599.00 with free delivery at the point of writing this review.

I will leave you with the video we have put together for the Duo that demonstrates a few of my favourite features.

This Bank Holiday Weekend...

This Bank Holiday Weekend we spent a few days in Devon. 

We rolled with the weather...

We blew dandelion clocks...

We played outside and slid down the slide.

We laughed and we smiled...

We took a walk by the lake and fed the ducks...

We took a drive over to Minehead beach and sat along the sea front...

We laughed when Leo heard a Cockerel and thought it was an Elephant, we laughed even harder when he put his arm up as though he had an Elephant's trunk.

We were amazed when Leo went straight to bed in a strange new place without any fuss, and without any drama.

We loved the extra hour in bed he let us have.

We waved goodbye to the sun as the rain set in.

We came back home early when the weather didn't improve.

But while the sun was shining we were having a lovely bank holiday weekend.

What did you get up to?

You are in safe hands with Easywalker

I happen to be a big fan of the Easywalker brand, throughout my entire experience with them I have had nothing but perfect customer service. Any questions that I have had they have been very quick to answer, and even offered to Skype with me so that I could explain and demonstrate any issues face to face.

When the June was released last year it didn’t have a transport lock, but a few weeks after the June’s arrival one turned up in the post. I have constantly felt that there is always someone there to talk to if I need them, and always more than happy to help.

 We have just taken in the Easywalker Duo for my Mum who is going to be having Leo and his little cousin in the next couple of months. There is a 16 month age gap between them both and Granny is going to need a double pushchair to get them both around, and to keep the older one running away! (Leo….of course)

With the arrival of the Duo I set about setting it up, I got the 2 back wheels on and the front wheel with no problem at all, it is here I encountered my problem. One of the front buttons that you need to open in order to pop on the wheel was stuck up inside it’s self. I tried, Granny tried and even Luke gave it a go, but this button did not want to come back out.

So I explained the situation surrounding our lovely new Duo and I received the same high standard of customer service from Easywalker. They were super. They took down the details of the problem and I sent over some images and a video showing exactly what was wrong.

Easywalker are in the process of resolving the issue and I really cannot fault them. They take all the details into account and jump straight into action, you can see that they really want you to enjoy their products.

If you buy into the Easywalker brand then you really are going to be well looked after, I think this is really important when you are buying such an important item for your baby/babies.

Easywalker very quickly resolved the situation by sending a new Duo at lightning speed, so Granny is now on the road with her beautiful new Duo, and I don’t think much will stand in her way! Not with those big chunky wheels that are suited to all types of different terrain!

All I can tell you about the Duo at this moment in time that it is a very good looking pushchair, when it is collapsed it is rather heavy but once it is up right it Is really easy to push and I am looking forward to having a play with it!

I will be sharing our Duo adventures with you and a full review very soon, but for now I will leave you with my love for Easywalker.

Disclaimer: I was not asked to write this post. All views and opinions expressed are my own personal experiences with Easywalker and I just wanted to share how super I think they are!

The Adventures of The Easywalker June

Since October last year I have been taking many more off-roading adventures with Leo.

You see we have been using the Easywalker June, a pushchair that knows no bounds, and has given me the inspiration to see where else we can venture to with the June, where other pushchairs can only dream about going.

Not even snow seems to get in the June’s way, I am yet to find a terrain that can stop those big chucky wheels in it’s path!

Where ever are adventures have taken us, the June has always been close by, giving us the ability to plough across the bumpiest field with ease.

Together we have tackled public transport and found the whole experience easy, especially when kind members of the public have offered their assistance in helping us on and off the train. 

A really handy aspect of the June is being able to navigate the cosy train aisles. I managed to push Leo in the June all the way down the train aisle to get to the other end. This is something that made my life so much easier, and also stopped me missing the train!

There have been occasions where I have had to collapse the June in a hurry, and juggle Leo at the same time. Something I have succeeded in doing without causing too much of a scene or ruffling to many feathers. 

I have managed to store the June away safely in taxi car boots and in the baggage storage of a train, with the added security of the transport lock that keeps the June locked down and together in one piece.

When the snow came down over the colder months and I refused to pull the car out of our road, the only way I would go anywhere was by foot. There was no question in my mind as to which pushchair would tackle the icy conditions best. 

The June of course was the pushchair of my choosing and it did not fail me or Leo once. We ploughed through the snowy paths, over snow covered grass and up to Granny’s house. I only had to look down at Leo to see how cosy he was in the June Footmuff, and he was none the wiser to just how bitterly cold it really was.

Oh how I longed to be the one pushed around in the June over those few days!

Long may our adventures continue, I have more plans to test the June on further terrains. 

For the moment I am looking forward to brighter skies and sunny days, so I can finally fit in that trip to the beach. I have been longing to test the June on the sand for some time now, but when all depends on when Spring decides to grace us with it’s presence.

The Easywalker June Review

Back in July I introduced you to Easywalker and their range of strollers that have been rolling all over the pushchair scene for around 23 years. In this time frame Easywalker have been perfecting the design and manufacturing of their strollers by following basic and effective guidelines.

These guidelines promote all that is Easywalker, and one of their biggest goals is to keep the essence of the stroller simple, of course there are a number of other ways Easywalker manage to produce such versatile pushchairs:

Easywalker belive in:

- Producing quality, sustainable solutions

- Operating on a ‘less is more’ strategy, and keeping everything simple.

- Boasting all terrain features, enticing you to go anywhere and everywhere!

- Offering value for money on all of the fantastic features.

- Making the designs of the strollers, practical and sporty.

Easywalker’s main aim is to provide a stroller for every need, a stroller that is visually appealing, comfortable for Parent and baby, but most importantly simple to operate.

Easywalker have just released the highly anticipated June. The June is a stroller that has been shrouded in secrecy for many months, and Chinese whispers have circulated around it.

So what is the truth about their latest masterpiece?

The June has been available in the UK since the beginning of September 2012, and within a few days of it's release I was lucky enough to have one show up on my front door step, all ready to try out with Leo.

With the June’s arrival I quickly set myself the all important task of getting it set up, so I could marvel at it all the more.

What’s in the box?

I laid out all the bits and pieces in front of me, the four air wheels, the frame and seat unit, raincover, hood and seat liner. 

I had a quick read of the instructions and began to piece the June together like a jigsaw puzzle.

The seat unit was already fixed onto the frame so that was the first hurdle completed for me, so I focused my attention on the wheels, which you simply position until you hear a click. With the all four of the wheels now poised and placed in the correct formation I slipped the vibrant red seat liner into the unit and marvelled at the colour combination against the dark Black frame.

My final task in the piecing together of my June, was attaching the hood to the back of the seat unit. There are two plastic hinges that need to be attached to either side of the unit. You will know when you have them correctly fitted as you will hear a ‘click’ with each successful attachment.

I struggled attaching the hood and it took me a few attempts to get it on properly. I found the best way to attach it was to put the seat on the lowest height, and then fasten the hood into the hinges. When you have successfully attached your hood, you will need to do up the zip so that it is completely secure.

Of course it would have taken half the time if I had not had the added distraction posed by Leo. This not so welcomed help consisted of Leo pushing the June away from me while I was trying my hardest to click the hinges into place….

With the hood now fastened securely, the June was ready for our first adventure. It looked fantastic, I chose the stunning Black frame combined with the striking Red seat unit and seeing it in the flesh really did not disappoint.

The set up process is simple, and the instruction manual that is provided gives you all of the information that you need in order to get your June up and running.

To change the position of the seat unit you need to locate the frame underneath the seat. Push the two ends in to un-attach the unit from the frame and then locate the Red lever which will then allow you to lift the seat off.

Then push the bar forward so that it is the furthest away from you and simply click it back into place, facing in the opposite direction. 

The Easywalker June has a large and well padded seat unit and Leo sits so comfortably inside. It allows Leo to sit completely up-right as he goes along taking in the world around him, while he sits safely and securely strapped in with a 5 point harness including padded chest pads.

There is a fantastic recline feature that can be accessed underneath the front of the seat unit. Pushing the bar up and pushing the seat unit back, will recline the seat so that any sleepy babies or toddlers can shut there tired eyes. It is not a completely flat recline but judging by Leo’s sleepy time in there, it is very comfortable.

One thing that I always consider when looking into a new pushchair is the seat position. In those early days just after baby has come out of the carry cot, I think it is very important to have a stroller that allows you to have the parent facing option along side the standard forward facing.

The June ticks this box!

I still use the parent facing option with Leo when we are out on our own, even now at 15 months old. I still love to have the choice as to which way Leo faces. If we are going to the farm park or the zoo, then I think it is really important that he can face out and see everything that is going on, but there are times where it is nice to have each other for company.

Let’s go on an adventure!

The June has certainly provided me with the ‘get up and go’ and we have been taking the June on our many adventures. We have travelled to London on the train and navigated our way through the hustle and bustle of the London streets, and then even hopped in and out of taxis on the way to our final destination.

When I travel with Leo on the train, I usually source a seat where I can sit down and also keep Leo sat in the pushchair. On this train journey there was no where to sit and do this, so I had to collapse the stroller and store it in the luggage bay. The same can be said to when I travel by taxi. I usually take the pushchair on with Leo still sat safely in it, however on this occasion I had to collapse it and put it away in the boot.

Thanks to the June’s user friendly, one click collapse feature, I was able to quickly fold it up on each occasion that presented it’s self to me and carry on our adventure.

To fold the June you first need to put the hood away and lower it down to the lowest level. The push the two Red buttons on top of either side of the stroller, then push the bottom two Red buttons up. This will make the pushchair begin to fold and allow you to collapse it. I then release the latches on the adjustable handle bar, and lower the bar right down.

And viola, it is as simple as that!

This is where the June’s size comes in really handy. It is not a bulky pushchair; in fact it is the complete opposite. The June has been designed to fit in the boot of a Mini Cooper, so it was a doddle getting the June into the spacious boot of the taxi, with room to spare. I am not worried about having to collapse the June if the need arises as I know that it is such a simple task.

How does the June handle?

I was instantly impressed with just how light the June is to manoeuvre, and also just how solid it handles. It weighs in at just around the 9kg mark and is such a breeze to push around, even with a toddler such as Leo kicking back and relaxing in the seat.

The June is equipped with four suspension and shock absorbing, all terrain wheels. Their mission is to provide the smoothest ride for baby, and I have to say that they are fantastic. When I first took the June for a walk into town, I was anticipating when I would need to lift the front wheels up so that I could get up the curb, but the June took everything in it’s stride. I simply kept pushing and the wheels just popped up onto the next level of the pavement with no issues what so ever.

We have gone over the field at our local park with complete and utter ease, but these all terrain tyres are designed to trek over beaches and even snow! So this is something I will definitely be putting to the test as soon as the occasion presents itself!

The June’s hood is such a great feature; you can heighten or lower the hood depending on babies’ height or where the sun is positioned in the sky. With other strollers I have had the pleasure of using, the hood has been fixed in place which presents problems when the sun is at that pivotal point in the sky, and is shining in your babies eyes. When the sun starts to get in Leo’s eyes, I simply lower the hood and pull down the visor so the sun is completely off his face, and out of his eyes.

The brake is a feature I have to tell you about, it is the most simple brake in the history of brakes. A simple kick down, and kick back up system that you can put on and off as you please. 

Accessories

The June has many accessories that you can purchase separately in order to complete the June experience. If you are like me and like to change the colour of your pushchair, then why not purchase a spare seat liner in an alternative colour? They are so easy to put in and out, and come in a range of colours to suit all shades of the June. So if your little one is anything like Leo, you can pop in a new liner for when the other is in the wash.

You can purchase a liner from Pram World for £39.99.

With the colder weather now coming in, you may want to start considering a footmuff to keep your little one warm. Easywalker have very kindly sent us the June foot muff to try out with our June and I could not be more impressed.

The foot muff again comes in a range of colours to match your June stroller, and is soft like a duvet on the outside, and furry and velvety on the inside. It is perfect for winter and is sure to keep baby warm on a cold day. I have just fitted Leo’s footmuff to the June and we used it over the weekend and found that we did not any coats or jackets for Leo with the footmuff on there keeping him toasty warm.

The footmuff is made of waterproof and windproof material and when it is not needed for keeping your little person warm, you can unzip the front and use it as a fluffy seat liner.

You can purchase a footmuff from Pram World for £84.99 

The exciting new June has the potential to be used as a complete travel system. Car seat adapters can be inserted into the framework allowing you to combine a Maxi-Cosi Pebble, Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix a Cybex Aton or one of BeSafe’s infant car seats. This is always a welcome option with a newborn baby and makes transporting your little one from the car into the house a breeze, while allowing baby to continue sleeping with no disturbance.

A very welcome addition is the carry cot, if you are like me a pram is essential in those early days. The carry cot can be purchased at an extra cost but from what I have seen, looks to be a very decent size that will allow baby plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy the ride.

I have found using the June a real breath of fresh air, from the simple to use features to the air tyres allowing you to go where you want, when you want, it really does offer a practical solution to all of your pushchair needs.

Easywalker are being stocked at Pram World. The Black chassis is retailing at £559.99 and the Silver chassis £529.99
