Jane Powertrack 360 Rebel Travel System

ive had my powertrack approx 5yrs now &have had nothing but trouble with the front wheel wobbling,i now have had to keep it locked as if it is on swivel it just completely buckles,have had it adjusted several times but the problem keeps on coming back!would not recommend one for the price until the manufacturer sorts this annoying problem out!!

I got the Jane Powertrack for my little one with the car seat and carrycot too. The pushchair is lovely to push, until you get a puncture and that's it impossible to move until it's been fixed, which isn't much use if you're in the middle of nowhere with a baby! If you happen to take it down a kerb at even the slightest angle then it tips over, so you have to take kerbs straight on.

When using the pushchair, the seat doesn't sit completely upright, which isn't very good for a bigger child as they like to sit up and look around.

There is a brake on the handle to help you slow down on hills, but on ours it only worked for a couple of weeks.

The front wheel needs adjusting often or it develops a judder and makes it really difficult to push.

So, the Jane Powertrack looks fantastic, but it's very expensive and full of little problems, so I really wouldn't recommend it.

We deliberated over which pushchair to get for ages and looked at loads. The Jane Powertrack 360 with matrix car seat is by far the best current option, and better than anything that our friends have bought since. The great thing is that we can put baby to sleep in the cot and carry him to the car and back asleep, without having to wake him up to lift him out of a car seat. Because the car seat is flat in the cot position, you can leave him in it as long as you like (doctors recommend not leaving babies in normal seats for longer than an hour because of damage to their delicate backs).

We can also put him to sleep in the evening in the car seat in the cot position and walk to friends without having to wake him up, and when we go on holiday he sleeps in it so we don't have to worry about taking a travel cot too.

The Jane Power Track is not bad just disappointing. Given how much it costs, we expected a little more. The biggest problem for us has been the front wheel which has a terrible vibration and we have to leave it on lock. We have had it adjusted but it made little difference - it seems to be a design flaw. The disc brake on the front has been next to impossible to adjust so that it works and we simply don't use it. Talking to other Jane users we know, most have had similar problems.

Overall we have been very impressed by the Jane Powertrack 360 Rebel. Our son is now one year old and we are expecting our second baby at christmas, we like the Jane so much we are buying the Powertwin with the Rebel car seat for the new arrival. It is a delight to push in comparison to some other prams on the market and any problems we have had have been rectified with no fuss by the shop we purchased the pram from.

We spent a lot of time researching our pushchair, and in the end there was only one choice - the Jane Powertrack. We had problems with a wobbly front wheel, but this was easily solved by tightening the nut on the top of the wheel under the plastic cover. It is a highly manoeuverable machine and easy to use 1 handed. We have used it across all sorts of terrain without any trouble. The shopping basket is small but then we knew this from our research, hence this hasn't bothered us. The quality of it has been first class. It is very light and my wife finds it easy to load into the back of our truck which is high off the ground. It is very easy to fold and unfold although the folding lock has broken. The design (not the quality) is probably at fault here. The disc brake is a good idea and usefull when going down steep hills, however it is difficult to adjust so that there is no rubbing when not being used, yet it has plenty of bite when you need it. I do lots of mountain biking where disc brakes are the norm. The brake fitted to this chair is a very cheap component, and probably not worthy of the price of the push chair. I would also say that a disc brake is overkill when a normal braking system would have worked, if not just as well then probably better! The system used to recline, the seat is well thought out and a doddle to use.

We bought the travel system, and the rebel car seat is very easy to use. Our only gripe, and its potentially quite major, is that the baby sits too upright in the car, which could cause problems in a shunt from the rear. Having said that, it fitted onto the pushchair without any problems and made life very easy. We also bought the cot which was fantastic, again making life easy on long journeys (it can also be attached securely into the car and act as a car seat). We didnt go for the matrix purely because the matrix car seat wouldnt fit in our car properly.

In summary, we have now been using the whole set up for 13 months and our son seems very happy and comfortable in it. We are expecting number 2 very shortly, and so will need a twin/tandem. Funnily enough we are going for the Jane Powertwin as we have been so happy with what we have had. There are a few niggles with the system as I have mentioned, however nothing in life is perfect, and when compared to the others on the market, this stands head and shoulders above them. I can't recommend this more strongly. Oh and I reckon this is the best looking chair of the lot. It looks 'gadgety' so dads wont loose their cool when bumping into their mates on the street or in the pub!!!!!!

Jane Powertrack 360 Rebel Travel System - I lived in Barcelona when we bought the 360 & after looking at all other types & styles the 360 was by far the best option & we've got no real doubts about the pram apart from washing it. It's the best 500 Euros weve ever spent & now we are back in England we havent found anything that beats it. If you're looking for something user-friendly, THIS is the one, just look after it!!

From the beginning, most of the things for which we bought the Jane Powertrack 360 Rebel Travel System have not worked. Handbreak, lock system for cot and baby seat etc etc. Try to return it and your left without one for a months.

Jane Powertrack 360 Rebel Travel System is an amazing pushchair just weigh up all the features available !

I found it to be a good size and of good qualitly. Everyone I have asked says its fab. I have examined and checked I have found this to offer the best quality ever.

AND REMEMBER YOUR BABY IS NOT RECOMENDED TO BE IN A CAR SEAT FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS.

So that is why it is good to have the matrix car seat

Jane Powertrack 360 Rebel Travel System: We are now on our second Jane 360 Powertrack after having it replaced for the problems described. This second one is going back for a full refund too. We loved the idea, but unfortunately the execution of the idea is poor - severely flawed.

We have spoken to 8 other couples with the same Powertrack 360 model who have experienced similar problems, and most have had their prams exchanged. Some of us have abandoned the disk brake system disconnecting it altogether, which for an expensive pram is just wrong.

However, in Jane's defence, most of us still like the product due to its lightweight and ease of movement. We are all hoping the next model will have addressed the problems, and we will probably all expect our prams to be swopped once it comes out.
