![]() ![]() I have never seen a gate-opening/multi-angle bumper bar engineered in this way. The Skate's solution to the bumper bar is unique. However, it's not so practical when they are more confident and climbing in and out with soiled shoes. It's strange, but convenient when this is one of the primary points of contact that an infant will reach for when attempting to toddle. The calf rest is not positionable and is bizarrely covered in foam along the foot bar. Slide your hand up the fabric at the back, here you can feel the lug that needs twisting to push though its current location hole to reposition in one of the other three options. The five point harness is basic and a bit of an irritation to alter in shoulder height, it's easier to achieve if you remove the seat from the frame. With a width of 33cms and a back height of 50cm, it will accommodate the largest toddler. The contrasting canopy lining is a cream, red/grey stripe that softens the overall appearance. Instead of a flat regular black, the CityScape is more of a dark grey suiting fabric which sounds stiff but actually looks really classy. Soft stuff and the seat The fabrics on the CityScape Skate, our test victim, are beautiful. They can be locked off to be unidirectional by stepping on the locking mechanism above the wheel and released in the same way as the brake - with a flick of your foot. ![]() Likewise, the narrow 17.5cms front foam wheels are removed by twisting the control knob above them. The rear wheels are 27cm foam tyres that can be removed from the chassis by simply pulling on the silver button below the brake. The release is flip-flop friendly and just a matter of flicking the pedal upwards. Stop and start The brake is applied by stepping on one of the two plastic silver pedals located on the back axle. To make the fold more compact the handle can fold inwards, creating a foot to enable it to stand vertically if necessary. ![]() The handle will then drop towards the back wheels and the auto-lock bracket on the right will click into place. When they have been flicked, they remain in place until you step on the button in the centre of the back axle marked ‘FOLD'. Large seat, easy.įold A little lower down the handle, are two switches that are the primary procedure in the fold. We have their versatile Skate in for review. Their colourful, contemporary offerings gathered huge popularity making Mamas & Papas a household name. Mamas and Papas led the way in bringing great design from Europe to deliver an alternative to the established UK pushchair market. The foam covered handle can span a huge arc of 79 – 112 cms which breaches the largest of differences in parent height. It has quiet and intimidating, overcomplicated look but is actually very straightforward. This net is actually the basket that, when accompanied with the elasticated strap on top can stretch to a relatively decent capacity – a medium change bag or two bags of shopping would sink nicely into this stretch hammock secured by the diagonal elastics. It has a wide flat wheelbase with what looks like a high-wire safety net stretched from the front to the back. Junior seat RRP TBC Frame The Mamas & Papas Skate is quite distinctive which is predominantly due to the frame. The Mamas and Papas Skate is a versatile single that can be easily transformed into a double. Of course, planning is one thing and nature is another so with all the optimism in the world, number two may never happen. Buying a good quality single pushchair with the adaptability to morph into a double when necessary will cover all eventualities and meet your needs, whatever comes your way. Buying a pushchair with the built-in adaptability to eventually accommodate two children has got to be good advice if you are planning to have a standard sized family. Pushchair Review We all know that planning ahead can save you a fortune in the long run. Set the white balance, contrast and colors retroactively. ![]()
