Bebe Confort Loola Umbrella Stroller

I wouldn't recommend this pushchair. After a while of being used it feels wobbly and has lost its sturdiness. The handles and frame are flimsy.

It was fine when my daughter was a baby and it was used with the car seat, but as she got older and heavier it didnt feel right.

It doesn't seem to sit up straight enough either, my daughter was always straining to get up.

I feel this pram is too wide, it makes it difficult when shopping and a nightmare on the bus.

The basket isnt a great size either, its wide, but not deep enough to hold a mothers bits!

There are little hooks underneath the handles for the changing bag... these are really small and makes it almost impossible to hang a bag from.

Lastly, the the zip on the raincover broke after being used twice. It was really hard to zip up... not good when its pouring down with rain.

Do not buy the bebe conort loola buggy. It breaks after a short time and the manufacturers and suppliers refuse to deal with it. There are lots of ther buggys that do not cost so many hundreds of pounds/ euros and will last far longer

I previously had a Loola pushchair because of the parent facing & lie flat & folding with the seat on.

To give credit where it's due: it did survive 2 years with my little boy but has left me with RSI wrists as negotiating shop floors is a nightmare.

Now, only 2 years later it is completely worn out. Turning is heavy, the brakes don't work anymore, one of the wheel locks is broken and the seat no longer clicks into the middle position between lying down and sitting up.

This in spite of me taking care of this pushchair, cleaning out dirt from nooks & crannies etc.

Customer services are the worst. I called them to arrange a service for this as my second baby needs a pushchair too. Eventhough I hated this one, I thought I should try and recondition this and save the money for other baby things.

Well... apparently a service will cost upwards of £50. YOu have to arrange your own courier to get the pushchair to them, and again pay for the courier (self arranged) to return it. This of course, all subject thereto that they feel it's safe enough to re-release to you.

It seems that payment for the service only buys you an assessment by their workshop. Then comes parts & labour added thereto. Should they, however feel that it is not repairable, no alternative is offered. They used to offer you a refurbished base at a cost of an additional £30 (on top of the service cost) but no longer offer this.

Essentially, if you send the pushchair, and the chassis is bent and they decide that it's had it, they destroy the base as it wouldn't be safe.

Then you are out your £50 and don't even get your pushchair back.

Would you spend money on a company who classes this as customer service?

I have washed my hands of Bebeconfort. Instead we have found a pre-owned Bugaboo Bee which also faces both ways, has an almost lay-flat (just like the loola), and folds with the seat attached. An added extra is that it's a heap lighter than the loola and looks real flash with a range of different colours to choose from.

The one we got is a year older than our Loola and steers better than the Loola did when new.

GOODBYE LOOLA - HELLO BEE

Horrid! Feels so flimsy it seems unsafe. It's tricky to put up, the basket is small and wierdly designed, the hood feels like it will break any time, the foot rest has no tension so little one's feet slide together, the calf support has 2 metal bars running under it so a child of, say, 9 months would feel those on the backs of their legs.

I was loaned this pushchair and, after having 4 children and many many pushchairs, would never buy this one; especially considering how expensive it is.

BebeConfort should stick to making sturdy prams, which they do very well.

i bought the optic framboise loola travel system as i had to have a pink pram after having 3 boys!! my daughers now 4 months old and i hate it with a passion. i had the windloo carrycot which was lovely to use, but my daughter is not that big and i have had to put her in the pushchar bit. it was quite unsteady with the carrycot on and very difficult to get up curbs etc, but now i have her in the pushchair its impossible to use. its wobbily, flimsy and feals as if its going to break with the slightest of movements. i really wish i hadnt bought everything to go with it aswell.

cons - lovely colour i had so many comments about it

- the carrycot is great

- the carrycot raincover is good

- how the parasol fits on is good

pros - very hard to get up curbs (evn the smallest of curbs)

- handles wobble

- cant use the change bag with the carry cot as it wont fit on the handles

- can not push it with one hand, which is not good when you have other small children

- the basket is hard to get to when the carrycot is on (although i can fit 2 bottles of milk and a 3ltr bottle of juice underthere now)

- very flimsy

- the hood feals as if it goin to break everytime you move it

- you cant recline or put up the seat without putting the hood down

- you have to zip the raincover on the pushchair, which is very difficult to do, wakes my daughter up everytime and takes up alot of room in a very small basket, when not in use

i read alot a reviews on this buggy before i bought it, and the only thing i found people complaining about was the basket size- that it the smallest problem wih this buggy- dont buy it you will be very dissapointed.

the streety 3 in 1 system is the worst pram stystem we have ever had. Its hard to push up onto the kirb making it impossible as the child gets heavier. My grandson is 1 year old and now the pram is collapsing as you push it along, its is so dangerous and I would not recommend this pushchair to anyone, especialy the cost of it as well. I wish we could have taken the pram with baby in before we bought it, but thats impossible.

i couldn't stand it anymore - sold it on after a few months.

Got Loola Up to replace a Graco Travel system as I wanted a lighter pushchair, where baby could face either way. The only good bit about it is that they can face either way. Its deceptively heavy, difficult to handle when folded up, too wide for alot of doorways, no where to hang anything or put a drink, shopping net rubbish, rain cover difficult to put on and store, expensive and I soon went back to using my trusty Macclaren Techno.

Loola Framboise.My baby is 3 months old and I have already had enough of trying to push this heavy pushchair around.This system looks lovely but is not practical.The weight is distributed wrongly putting a lot of the weight at the rear therefore making it extremely hard to go up the smallest of kerbs.It is very hard to use when you also have 2 other children on tow on the school run!The straps for the pushchair are not long enough even for a 3 month old baby,so I purchased the extension harness,free of charge,from the supplier.This is also very small and I am struggling putting it around my baby already.As you have to adjust the straps according to what they wear,they are not the easiest of straps to adjust regularly.The car seat material is rubbish.It has already started to fray and stitching has come undone.The insert cushion's material is made up of lots of loops making it prone to scagging,therefore not baby proof.Windoo mattress has curled up on edges making it look like a 'Pringle'.RRP for the pushchair,car seat,windoo plus raincovers,footmuff,parasol & change bag,is over £700.Waste of money!

I bought this pram online and was very pleased with the design, the cosytoes is fantastic as is the change bag, pricey but worth it. The pram however is very heavy to push and lift up and down curbs. After 6 months the handle snapped and would just spin around. I am trying to still get the chasis fixed or replaced but the shop I purchased it from is still dragging their heals even though it is still in warrenty. I am a mother of three and would not recommend this pram. I am very disappointed with this pram.The staps are also another issue far to tight and my baby is only 8 months old.
