Jane and Richard Stuckey are parents to Mark, aged four and six-month-old twins Emma and Rachel. This is what they had to say about the Marco Sky

 

I found this was a light weight and compact pram - ideal for short journeys.

 

It has transformed the school run. It came into its own on a very rainy morning rushing my four year old in to his classroom. It's really quick and easy to 'put up' and with a 'Velcro fitted! rain cover included in the price - we were all out of the rain much faster than normal. The reactions from other mums were surprising - lots of 'what a fantastic idea', 'smart fabric' and 'trendy colours'.

 

I love the fact that I can now wander into the classroom with the other mums and settle my little boy in to his classroom without feeling in anyone's way - and no more having to leave my pram and babies in the corridor.

 

Thanks to the excellent adjustable straps Emma and Rachel were held securely in place - and with them both able to see out they were happy to ride in it until they got sleepy.

 

It was so compact - I managed to see every bit of IKEA on a busy Saturday afternoon.

 

Both seats are almost the same and both babies can see out. I got stopped less in town - some people didn't spot that there was a second baby in the pram.

 

It was wonderful to be able to fit through any doorway and around any obstacles without a second thought - I'll only swap back to my Maclaren for long days out, when I need the girls to sleep in the pram. On the downside the seats don't really recline (the rear seat only slightly) so it's harder for babies that need to sleep in their pram and the shopping basket is quite small.

 

It works well with a buggyboard or is just nice for a younger child to be able to walk side by side along narrow paths. The 'original buggyboard' was easy to attach when needed. The position of the handles meant there was plenty of space for Mark to stand on the board and hold on.

 

Although the pram is suitable up to 15kg you would probably have to remove the hood after about 18 months for the children's comfort.

 

In all I would definitely recommend this pram to any parents who need something to fill the gap between baby carriers and reins. It is excellent value for money and great for anyone with an older child.
