Baby Limo review
When a new pram hits the market, I’m often one of the first people to hear about it. I’ve tested and reviewed many many prams in my time as a Mummy Concierge and I know how baffling and challenging choosing one can be. So, with my reviews I keep them nice and simple, with go to pros and cons that you can scroll through and decide if a product works for you.
The Baby Limo - A car seat, bassinet and pushchair in one
What is it: A new flash pram and travel system that will appeal to fashion conscious, city dwelling parents.
The positives
It’s incredibly easy to use - whether you are slotting on the car seat or adding the bassinet to the main system, it is a simple and easy ‘click’ and it’s done! I even managed to put the bassinet onto the main frame with one hand!
Well ventilated - The basinet and pram have a ventilated hood which means on hot summers days, you can protect your baby by pulling over the hood to see them i the shade, but you also don’t have to worry about them overheating because of the ventilated hood. It also has a handy little internal pocket where you can stash your mobile phone or dummy!
Rockability! If you take the bassinet off the frame or the car seta out of the car, you can pop either of them onto a flat surface and it will rock - perfect if you are moving your baby from one location to the next and want to rock them to sleep
The pushchair can be slotted onto the frame so that it can either face towards you to away from you
The storage basket at the bottom of the pushchair is roomy and has a magnetic clip, so you don’t have to stress trying to fasten buttons or zips.
The Baby Limo is incredibly comfortable due to its amazing suspension system – if you’re bouncing along rocky train your baby won’t feel a thing!
It has an adjustable leather steering handle – which can be easily adjusted to suit any
height of any parent. Perfect if you are particularly tall or shortThe frame is incredibly lightweight and easy to collapse - i managed to fold it with one hand and pack into into the boot of my car easily. It also has Detachable wheels off you need it to squeeze into
a small car boot space.If you’re a mummy who loves a coffee on the go then their coffee cup holder is genius in that it fits securely to
the steering handle. The central and rear suspension systems ensure a smooth ride for baby and your coffee cup contents.Baby Limo has an amazing Test drive option: Within 100 mile radius of Bournemouth, they will
deliver to your door and collect with absolutely no obligation to buy.The negatives
The Baby Limo pitches itself as having a simple and stylish colour combination that compliments luxury brands such as Prada, Chanel and Gucci. For me personally, the white and black leather was a bit too much and certainly doesn’t work if you live in the countryside. I think the Baby Limo’s style is probably more suited to a city dwelling mother.
You need to think about storage. If you buy the full travel system then you need to make sure you have somewhere to store the bits you’re not using
Conclusion - The Baby Limo certainly surprised me. At first I thought it was just a brand ‘attempting’ to fill a luxury void in the market but when I got down to the nitty gritty of testing it out, I realised the designers really had thought of everything. I think it will probably appeal to London living parents, over parents who live in the countryside (due to the look of it) but if you want a pram that really does tick a lot of boxes then I’d certainly recommend you book a test drive…..
