Marco Sky L & Longhorn Pushchair - Frequently Asked Questions
Is the pushchair suitable from birth

Is the pushchair suitable from birth?

The rear seat of the pushchair is suitable for babies from birth. The front seat is suitable for children from 6 months. This makes it ideal for parents of toddlers who also have, or are expecting a second or subsequent baby.

The Marco Maxxi Car seat can be attached to the front seat of the Sky Longhorn pushchair making the front seat suitable from birth. However, please note it is recommended that a baby is only transported in a car seat for short periods of time.

Can any car seat be used with the Sky Longhorn?

No, it is only compatible with the Marco Maxxi car seat, because this comes with specific adaptors which clip onto the Marco Sky Longhorn buggy.

What age does the pushchair go up to?

Each seat of the pushchair is designed to take children up to 15kg in weight.

I am not very tall, will the Sky Longhorn be suitable for me?

Yes, because the new Longhorn version of the Sky buggy has height adjustable handles. Some people found that the previous model, the Sky L was too tall for them, but the Longhorn’s handles can be fixed in any position between 88cm and 132 high. This makes it suitable for people of all heights.

Does it come with a rain cover?

Yes, a rain cover is included which fits over the whole pushchair and has a window flap in it.

Is there plenty of legroom for the child at the back?

Yes, the rear seat has a depth of 20cm and provides a very comfortable amount of legroom. See question 8 for more dimensions of the pushchair unfolded.

Can the child at the back see out?

Yes, because of the pushchair is designed with the rear seat elevated, the child at the back can see over the top of the child in the front.

Is the pushchair suitable for 2 children close in age, as well as for twins?

Yes, as long as the overall weight limit is not exceeded, it can be used for 2 children of different ages, including a new born baby in the rear seat.

Alternatively, using the Marco Maxxi car seat, a newborn baby can now use the front seat whilst another baby or toddler can use the rear seat. However, please note it is recommended that a baby is only transported in a car seat for short periods of time.

Can a buggy board be used on the pushchair?

Yes, a buggy board can be safely fitted on to the back of the pushchair. This pushchair is also compatible for use with the new Buggypod.

I have heard that the shopping basket is very small, is this true?

The shopping basket at the rear of the pushchair is compact, but is large enough to hold the raincover when not in use. The new Longhorn model also has a second shopping basket underneath which is larger and is easier to reach, even when the rear seat is reclined.

I heard from another retailer that EN1888 supercedes BS7409. Is this true?

There is a new European-wide standard known as BS-EN1888. This will combine the current European EN1888 standard and the British BS7409 standards.

I bought a Marco Sky Longhorn from eBay or a non-authorised UK retailer and now I have a problem with it. Can 2:became::4 help?

Whilst buying from ebay can be cheaper, often the goods are of non-standard or sub-standard quality. Often the Marco Sky you are purchasing is not the same pushchair as available from 2:became::4.

However as the official UK importer and partner for Marco pushchairs, we will endeavor to try and help you with spares, repairs or a replacement official Marco Sky at reasonable prices. Please Contact Us for more information.
