Mamas & Papas Pliko P3 > Reviews

Advantages: Looks great
Disadvantages: Seat only 9 inches wide (ridiculously narrow), and way too heavy.

The Pliko P3 Pramette has MASSIVE ERGONOMIC design flaws which only become apparent after the initial joy of its gorgeous looks fade away ... you've been warned, please read ! My wife and I are no strangers to prams / strollers / buggies - this is pram #4, and for baby #2. Here's our experiences of the Pliko P3 Pramette from the start : In "Pram Mode" : when your child is lying flat, on its back, you'll quickly notice that the childs' legs are ... Read review

Advantages: Well designed folding mechanism, compact, easy to use
Disadvantages: Maybe a bit fragile?, not recommended for rough terrain

I don't think I can add a great deal more in respect of the functionality of the buggy than the other reviews. I agree with almost all the points they make, but I would just like to add a couple of things with regard to build quality and the environment in which you can practically use. I think that our buggy may have had a high mileage life, probably around 3 miles a day on average for a year. Perhaps that's more than most, I don't know. As such ... Read review

Advantages: Small and compact yet fully comfortable and spaciouse
Disadvantages: Very Pricey but worth it

Well first of all i purchased a second hand pliko pushchair in 2005 and it was really easy to use and very reliable even being second hand. Then when i realised that they had improved the style of the chasis and fabric designs i started looking for a new model that i could upgrade to. At this point my son was about 8 months old and starting to wriggle about and eat biscuits etc in the buggy, so i purchased a new PLIKO P3 in city scape fabric [ which ... Read review

I bought my daughter a P3 Pramette when she was pregnant, at first we thought it was great. suddenly when my grandson was about 4 months old the break would not stay on, it just came off for no apparent reason. We sent it back to Mamas & Papas they said there was nothing wrong with it, but now it worked ok. Then again 3 weeks ago the same thing happened only this time it tipped completley over when the brake failed. they are still saying nothing is wrong with it. At the moment we are trying to get a different pushchair as we have lost all faith in this pushchair.

The build quality of this buggy is pretty poor, the plastics seem cheap. It is heavy and can be difficult to control. The 'one handed' folding is not really one handed. We really wish we did not buy this buggy and have since bought a much cheaper and lighter Chicco.

Advantages: Can be used as both a pram and pushchair without having to attach new bits, looks good!
Disadvantages: Expensive, heavy to push, not very durable.

...months onwards. We came across the Mamas & Papas Pliko P3 in the January sales. They were selling the pramette version complete with the Primo viaggio car seat for £300, a massive £100 off the normal price. To be honest I loved it and fell in love with it instantly. so after much deliberation we bought it. We first used it when our little girl was a week old and it was brilliant. My little girl had plenty of room to move around, and was really ... Read review

Advantages: Lightweight, compact & easy to fold.
Disadvantages: Very common - everyone seems to have one!

We bought this travel system 4 months ago ready for our new baby. We also bought the Primo Viaggio SIP car seat & the Mypod to go with it. This system is excellent in the way that all these different parts fit together using the one-click system. The pushchair is brilliant, it's lightweight and easy to handle but at the same time it feels sturdy and safe. It comes with a detachable hood and detachable bar across the front. It has various reclining ... Read review

Advantages: Sturdy, light weight, attractive quality push chair
Disadvantages: can be bulky and not much basket room under neath

i bought this pushchair as I liked the way the primo viaggio car seat clipped into it (making life so much easier when you are trying to nip in and out of shops quickly) and that it could also double up as a make do flat bed pram for smaller babies. We have found all aspects of this push chair to be excellent. The flat bed pram can be created by unzipping the top of the pushchair and lying it down flat. This worked wonderfully when our baby was first ... Read review

Advantages: great design.
Disadvantages: tricky to fold

Some mothers I know have bought several prams in their quest for the right one. I got lucky. This has been a fantastic ride, and whilst my youngest is now becoming too old to use it, I am loathed to get rid of it. Firstly, the handles are exactly the right height for pushing. When you're pregnant you don't realise how crucial this is, but you soon appreciate how fundamental this is to alleviating back pain when you spend most of the next 3 years ... Read review

Advantages: small when folded
Disadvantages: is quiet expensive

...it was because i knew mamas and papas was a good make! it is very versitile once you have attatched the wheels! i used this pram untill my son was 18 months then i changed for a quinny buzz because i needed something lighter and felt he looked too big in the pram. i really liked this pram the basket underneath hold alot of weight even though it looks flimsy and the fabric is hard wearing and dosen't get bleached by the sun like some do. the only thing ...

This has to one of the best purchases Ive made. My son has used it from birth and is now 11 months old and it still has tons more use. It folds small and compact. What I liked about it was that when my son was a baby I could turn it into a pram and he lay flat and I was able to see him. I even let him sleep in it occasionally if he was having a bad night. Now he is bigger he wants to see and look around, it has a bumper bar that he loves holding onto and the 5 point harness holds him in safely but allows him to lean forward and look around.

Advantages: Flexible use as baby grows
Disadvantages: Not great on country walks!

I bought a Pliko P3 when awaiting the birth of my first baby and therefore having no previous baby equipment or knowledge. The travel system gives you a good starting point equiping you with the all essential car seat and the options of a pram and pushchair. Although appearing complicated at first, it is quick and easy to collapse and put up. However, it is supposed to be one of the smaller models on the market yet it fills my car boot! Easy ...
