Urban Detour Xtreme Travel System

£295.00

LFTO rating rating is 3
Owners' rating rating is 4

Looking at this all-terrain buggy in sheer value for money terms, it’s hard to argue against it, with its faux-fur zip-in sleeping bag, integrating car seat, rain cover and matching changing bag. Like some others, it’s really a plush town buggy flirting with rugged looks, but it’s better than you think off-road: it’s amazingly well-balanced and manoeuvrable, the front wheel lifting with little more than a finger’s pressure on the bar. The padded seat is very comfy, there’s tons of storage and it’s easy to fold one-handed. But It’s heavy to lift if not to manoeuvre, its locking swivel-front wheel is a potential weak point off-road as it lacks the rigidity of a permanently-fixed wheel, and its handle is too high for comfort for shorter pushers.

 

Tested weight: 13.4kg
Ages: 0-4 years
Colours: onyx (black); sherpa (beige); sahara (brown)
Handle height: 40.5in
Folded size length: 36in
Width: 24in
Depth: 15in

Verdict: Buy it if you really really really only want to buy one buggy and expect it to do a bit of everything.

    this has been our one & only buggy and it has been excellent. it can be bulky in a car boot, but the easily removable wheels reduce the bulk (easy to remove if muddy to keep boot clean!) my little one is 2 & half now and the raincover has seen better days. for serious off road a hand operated brake would be good but digging heels in has only been scary a couple of times! the only real critisism is the sun shade is quite poor and have had to use a parasol many times.
