Advantages: Simple click-in system, have covered many bases Disadvantages: Bit Heavy, quite wide, takes some getting used to
...using for my son, a Bebe Confort Loola system with carry cot (my current pram of choice) and a Phil and Teds Sport Double which I bought off Ebay as my eldest is only just two. Oh and I still have a Quinny Zapp in the boot of my hubbies car 'just in case' I should be ashamed of myself… most people go through a baby or two with the one pram. But in my defence I don't hoard them, when I'm bored they go straight on to Ebay to buy the next one!
I am ... ...with parasols but it seems Bebe Confort have thought of everything. The shopping basket is rubbish though- absolutely rubbish! I'm used to not having a basket as my last pushchair was a Quinny Zapp but with a new born I do need a bit more storage and I find the cross hatch bars across the basket are a complete nuisance. I can't put anything in there bar a baby bottle or two. Getting things out of there is a pain.

Advantages: stylish, comfy for baby, great travel system, Easy to steer, compact folding, Disadvantages: not made for shopping, can feel flimsy, heavy with seat unit attached
After researching a lot of different pushchairs, I decided on the Loola quite early in my pregnancy. It is stylish, practical and comfortable for the baby, what more do you need! It can be quite expensive, but I got it all at bargain prices by shopping around on the internet. I have now been using it daily for just over a year and it is still going strong. It has had a few good comments and admiring looks, I feel really proud pushing it around.
... ...change from fixed to swivel wheels at the click of a button located on either side of the chassis. It is quite a wide pushchair, and occassionally the wheels can get in the way when passing other pushchairs etc. But it doesn't seem to be a problem most of the time, and it can spin around really easy in tight spaces. There is no support at the top of the handles so it can feel a bit flimsy when going up curbs, and I try to avoid bumping it up or down ...

Advantages: Forward or rear facing seat, folds easily, excellent travel system Disadvantages: Heavy when used as pushchair, shopping basket a disaster!
My husband fell in love with this when we were expecting our first child-now 11 months old-I wasn't so sure. My only reservation was whether the pushchair component would be as suitable for a new-born as the manufacturers suggest. When I discovered you could buy the Windoo carrycot to attach to the Chassis, however, I had a bargaining chip-we could have the Loola so long as we could shell out extra cash for the Carrycot, which we did. The whole system ... ...money. Long term use has revealed a few flaws but initially it was fantastic. Firstly it looks really good. With the Creatis car seat it looks quite futuristic and even the midwives, when we took our son home, commented on how good it looked. On a practical level for a new-born the car seat was really easy to use. It could be slightly awkward to fit in the car with a child in but really easy to take out-it would be slightly better if there was a ...

Advantages: compact, lightweight, modern sporty look Disadvantages: not very useful shopping basket
We went to the baby show in London last year with the intention of buying the Micralite travel system as I am quite petite and didn't want to have to struggle with a bulky, heavy system. In reality although lightweight, the Micralite system seemed a bit flimsy for my liking. One of the stalls was demonstrating the Loola and we fell in love with it immediately. The Loola system is great. It is based on a lightweight chassis, to which you can attach ... ...are very easy to click on, and with the push of two buttons (which can be pushed separately rather than having to be held down at the same time like some other systems) the seat can be easily removed. The system is very easy to close aswell even with the pushcahir seat in. I think whoever designed this must have children and know that most mothers do not have 6 hands! When folded the Loola fits easily into the boot of my A-class and I have read on ...

Advantages: Folds real small, reversible lie flat seat unit and stylish too Disadvantages: a bit wider than some, slighty awkward carry
Choosing your first puschair is almost as tough as naming the baby, or so it was for us
We went looking about three months before the birth, and that is probably about as late as you want to leave it (really!)
The final choice of Loola took us many weeks, starting with a full day in the shop (from opening to closing, with an hour for lunch and reflection) the number of models is mindblowing, especially if you need a car seat but cant decide if ... ...to have a small folded unit (Loola is substantially shorter than most and easily fits in any car boot) robust washable fabrics (good so far) a lie flat seat unit that could face mum in the early months, a matching lie flat carseat (the Creatis carseat is nice too and with its cushion insert baby lies pretty well flat in transit)
We eventually chose a Maclaren set up only to find out it was in the catalogue but not likely to be in stock before baby ...

Advantages: multi-positional, easy folding Disadvantages: fiddly to attach pram part, difficult to push up curbs
The Loola comes with a car seat (group 0), and normal pram to fit on the chasis. The pram is not too expensive (£300-£400) and the price includes two raincovers (for use with car seat and pram)
The loola is incredibly compact, folding down to the width of it's bars. It's wonderfully easy to open the chassis, you literally just flick the catch off and throw the pram whilst holding the handles. To fold the pram you chassis you just push down a couple ... ...handles, and kick the base bar. The loola does the rest of the work for you. The car seat and pram are fiddly to attach though. The pram comes with swivel and lockable wheels which sometimes struggle to tackle curbs and bumps. The handles are adjustable, making it easier to grip and manouver.
The pram does have a genorous basket, but its completely useless as the cross bars of the chassis block access to it. You can't hang bags on the handles either ...

Advantages: Forward and rearward facing seat, compact when folded Disadvantages: Heavy, not good on kerbs, no one-handed steering
The Loola system is based on 3 components all available seperately that also fit to the chassis seperately. The idea is that this a complete system to take you from newborn to age 4. There is the Windoo carrycot, the creatis carseat and the loola pushchair. All three fit onto the chassis by two buttons on either side that click into the component you need. Sometimes I found these a little difficult to work, especially when trying to lift the car ... ...like I needed three hands. One to lift the carseat and two to press the buttons.
When the loola arrived, I had some trouble putting it together by the instructions alone although the pictures were helpful. I started using the carrycot at first . This option was ideal and it came with clips so it could be strapped safely into the back seat of the car. There are also straps that go over the baby to make sure they don't roll about. On the base of the ...

Quick review of Bebe Confort Loola
I bought the loola for my daughter when she was around 8 months old, previous to that i had used a maclaren techno xt and she hated not being able to see me while she was in the pushchair, and screamed her way round shops and walks. After some research on the internet looking for a compact pushchair with the rear facing option i bought the bebe confort loola and my daughter was instantly transformed from a shop hating screamer into a little darling. ...

Quick review of Bebe Confort Loola
I bought the loola for my son, now 2, and thought it was brilliant when using the car seat. It looks cool, brilliant safety record and very easy to use. Other travel systems seem to be so bulky but when using car seat attachement this takes up very little room. The windoo carrycot is great and we used that as a moses basket as well because it was so cosy for baby. Unfortunately when my son grew out of his car seat I found the pushchair far to bulky and heavy. So my advice is get the car seat and carry cot but leave the pushchair as you'll probably end up having to buy a smaller stroller later on like we did. ...

Advantages: Stylish, easy to push, faces front or rear Disadvantages: Small shopping basket, wide frame, quite heavy
We didn't want a common pushchair, so when we set out to test them the Loola was always amongst my favourites.
The Loola is very quick and easy to assemble, and was the only pushchair that we managed to figure out without the aid of a shop assistant. The folding mechanism is quick and easy to use.
It is very easy to switch between parts of the travel system, as each part clicks easily into the frame. We used the Creatis Confort car seat with the ... ...to the pushchair mode.
This pushchair is built to last, and is very roomy for our tall son. The seat unt can be used to face forwards or backwards. Easy to push one handed, and manouvere around corners. The Loola is a good walking pushchair which copes with varied terrain. It is quite heavy to lift, but is suprisingly small when folded up.
The Loola is not really suited to heavy shoppers. The frame is wide, and was very awkward to manouvere at ...

Advantages: Faces forwards or back, modern looking Disadvantages: Awkward shopping basket, zipped raincover
When I was expecting I desperately wanted this buggy, as it is one of the few that can be used either with baby facing you or facing forwards. This part of the pushchair is great - it's really easy to change from forward to rear facing, and nice to have him facing you when he's sleepy and watching the world around him whilst awake. The buggy is a really modern looking one, and many people have commented on how great it looks! It folds down really ... ...boot so I wouldn't like to do this every day. Luckily we rarely take it out in the car.
Now the down sides - the basket, although quite spacious, is really hard to get to. The bars of the chasis cross over the top of it making it hard to get things in even when there's room for them! Sometimes I've had to balance a pack of nappies actually on these crossed bars, and risk losing them on the way home. Also the raincover zips on to the hood and I don't ...

Advantages: Faces both ways, looks great and easy to put up and down Disadvantages: None
We opted for the Loola after hours of researching prams/pushchairs and travel systems. When we bought this a year ago it was not very common at all, but now there are more and more about. The main reason we opted for the Loola was because we wanted a mother facing pram, many pram designs have mother facing for the newborns but when they are ready to sit up and look out they have to be turned outwards, I wanted to chat to my little one when we are ... ...the Loola came in at a reasonable price. I have to say we made an excellent choice, it is easy to put up and down, looks great and my friends are always saying they wished they had the loola, even people in the street have asked me about it. The car seat is also great, fits in and out of the pram very easily and likewise in the car, it looks very comfy for the baby and has a newborn insert. The pram seat is also comfy, and reclines in 5 positions ...

Advantages: Good all round travel system, extremely compact and convenient Disadvantages: Shopping basket a bit too small
I own the Loola travel system and carrycot and I have to say it is fantastic! With my last baby I made the mistake of buying a bulky buggy that filled my boot and it was a pain, especilly when going to get the weekly groceries or going on holiday. The Loola is totally different, I have a Renault Magane which I would say has a fairly average size boot and this buggy just tucks away at the back and If I need to use my boot, the frame of the pushchir ... ...comfy in the Loola and I have had numerous people comment on how lovely it looks. It is convenient, the car seat just clips easily onto the frame. Unlike some other travels systems on the market you don't need to use extra clips that can get lost easily. The only downside to this buggy is that the shopping basket is a bit too small but this will not put me off recommending it. Although a bit expensive I would definately recommend the cosytoe that ...

i fell in love with this pushchair in sporty red
we were having a girl so i wanted a pram that looked 'girlie'
after my first 5 babies i know what works and what will be replaced quite quickly.
i looked at the chicco trio (used for baby No5) but designs were all a bit boyish
then i saw the loola this looks like it will stand the test of time
it is very compact when folded and very stylish the fact that the whole seat unit comes off means the ... ...on a seat unit.
the windoo carrycot turns it into a pram and this is great also able to fit in the car (we havent done that)
i love the way that as a stroller it can face me or forward facing.
it is easy to fold and put up and i have got on and off buses with collapsing it with no real problems using the carrycot and car seat.
we have a ford galaxy so do have a large boot for putting it in however it also fits into the boot of my mums nissan ...

When i saw the loola i just had to have it,a great looking pushchair.At first i was really pleased and started to look for accessories to match but after many hours searching for a footmuff i was told my colour had been discontinued so i settled for black.I found the shopping basket is too close to the crossbar and it is difficult to put your things in,also it is quite heavy and difficult to lift. My next problem was the plastic frame inside the ... ...also found kerbs and steps a problem then after only three months the chassis broke and i could no longer use it.In my opinion it needed more thought by the designer. maybe i got a one off faulty one but i was really dissapointed and expected more for my money. ...
