During our tests, it was incredibly easy to manoeuvre and tackled cobbles, bumpy roads and even some massive kerbs. It was extremely robust for a light and small buggy. The only downside is that the seat does not recline. However, as it's designed to travel it's not a big issue. The handle bar is fixed at quite an elevated height and isn't extremely adjustable, however it still felt comfortable for both short and tall adults during our test.
