In our testing, it was easy to maneuver and tackled cobbles and bumpy roads as well as some massive kerbs. It didn't feel cheap at all which is quite impressive for a buggy this small and light.

The handle bar is fixed at quite high levels and isn't very adjustable, but it was comfortable for short and tall adults during our test.
