Product Information

The Armadillo is forward facing and features an extra large hood with UPF 50+ to provide shelter from the elements. com site caters as its Product Information for the Armadillo Pushchair states “Age Guideline: Birth – 15kg (approx 3 – 4 years old)”.

When deciding which model to go for, consider how big it is and where it needs to fit – whether it’s the boot of a car or the cabin compartment on an airplane.The Armadillo comes with a rain cover that easily snaps into place should your travel companion need more protection. That shows you that they were not trying to create just another OK stroller, but wanted to create an AMAZING product. It’s a fantastic pushchair to travel with as with the correct adapters you can fit certain infant car seats onto the frame without needing to remove the seat like you need to on most travel systems. Of course, there are a few things I would to improve like a non-adjustable handlebar and no ‘follow the sun’ canopy.

If I compare the fold with City Mini or B-Agile, this fold is better because the seat is folded inside and is protected from all the dirt. It has bungee cords that attach the car seat and even though you don’t need it, it makes it easy to lug around the airport (we bring our car seat when we travel instead of renting one). Without it, I may have never even considered the Armadillo as it doesn’t seem to be sold at many retailers in Canada. It’s actually been quite interesting using the two side by side over the last few weeks as it’s given me a really useful comparison.It’s continuous which is a brilliant feature and helps with maneuvering it and the height is easy to adjust. It folds down very neatly so I was able to lift it upstairs and into our flat without scratching the walls. Unlike the original Armadillo, the XT has an adjustable handle bar, noticeably chunkier wheels and thicker fabric. Walking on the grass in the park with it is very easy and the fact it’s slim and not heavy makes it straightforward to get on and off buses and trains as well as mounting curbs. Also, there is a new, even lighter Armadillo City, but I don’t think it has the car seat capability.

Folding the stroller can be done with one hand in a single swift movement, and the Armadillo can stand on its own when folded.Although it's suitable from birth, I probably wouldn't use it until my little one was two or three-months-old. Folding the stroller inward will reveal the handlebar at the back of the seat of which you can lift to flatten the rest of the stroller.

So I have to say that weight (as long as I can bring it on the plane cause we travel a lot), good recline and big canopy are my priorities. I wanted to wash the hood and it comes off the gram but not off the poles, which I was gutted about. It would also be great for people on public transport as it’s narrow enough to fit down a bus aisle and folds down easily with one hand.I'm in love with my sons mamas and papas armadillo pushchair its excellent to push steer and fold, folds extremely compact and fits in most cars. Parents with long legs will be happy because the crossbar is located much higher than on most of the strollers creating more legroom.
