Advantages: Light and easy to manoeuvre, stylish, good value.
Disadvantages: Like most "travel systems" it's bulkier than a buggy.

...I bought this travel system in a swivel wheel version a year ago. I knew I wanted a three-wheeler and, having gone round the shops trying them all out and boring my husband, the first thing that struck me about this one was how much lighter and easier to handle the "Sport" version is than the others in the 03 range, or indeed any of the other brands in the same price range. You can fix the front wheel when you want to "off-road" or let it swivel which is great for shops and paved areas. It has a multi-adjustable handle so is suitable for baby-pushers big and small. I also bought the System 03 car seat which attaches to the pushchair in a rear-facing position. This makes the pushchair suitable from birth up to 15kg (approx 3 years), with the baby riding in the car seat for the first nine months or so, then graduating to the main... Read review

Advantages: Cheap - but you get what you pay for!
Disadvantages: Poor build quality that doesn't last

...My son is now nine months old and we have been using the 03 Sport buggy and travel system since birth. As a three wheel buggy it is a "no frills" basic system which we were extremly happy with, we felt that it wasn't overly bulky or heavy compared to other 3 wheelers. However, ever since we bought this buggy we have had problems with it. The first problem was when in the unlocked position the front wheel would cause the whole buggy to shake violently when being pushed, this was fixed by tightening the bolt holding the front wheel by half a turn. Since then one of the rear wheels developed a loud squeek - they swapped the wheels over at it solved the sqeeking problem however, now the same rear wheel completley falls out whilst we are out walking and if we pick the buggy up it just dropps out! Other problems we have had during the nine... Read review

Advantages: Great online play, Easy to use, Can be easily updated, addictive!
Disadvantages: no sound commentary, not 3D

...Eidos and Sports interactive have made another unbelievable football management game. It is suitable for people of all ages and the game play is to die for! CM03/04 (Championship Manager season 2003/2004) is the follow up of CM4 in Eidos's and Sports Interactive's series of football management games and is just as you would expect. Eidos and Sports Interactive have improved this remarkably well. I have been playing CM 03/04 since it was released in 2003 and Istill cant get enough of it. It is so addictively fun and the online facility to play it with your friends is great - you can play in a league with your friends, which adds to the pressure of trying to beat them and making a good team to beat their team. You are able to take management of a team from thousands of teams and control the transfers in and out of the team including... Read review

Advantages: Sturdy, looks amazing, hard wearing
Disadvantages: heavy to lift, large in size even when folded

...My partner (confessed gadget addict) researched and purchased our pram for our little one (born in december 03). One day he announced he had found the perfect pram on ebay. Admittedly the mamas and papas 03 sport did look amazing, still does infact and can be pushed with great pride as onlookers not only coo at your baby but at this impressive monster of a travel system. The car seat is easily detachable, after a little practise and is easy to strap into the car. Baby seems very comfy and doesn't seem scrunched up in it, as other babies often seem in theirs. It is however a little heavy for carrying on its own, i.e nipping into a shop without wanting to get the pram out of the boot. When she is in the pram ( without the car seat attached) it makes me very sleepy and envious that I don't have a giant comfy bed to be wheeled about... Read review

Advantages: looks good,good price,smooth ride
Disadvantages: Heavy, Bulky, non adjustable handle heightb

...I have to admit i am a self confessed shopaholic for prams !! I am now onto my 4th and this is def the best i have bought. My son is 9.5mnth and he seems the most comfortable in this. I bought it approx 2 weeks ago and it has been on sale since sep 03. The 03 series sport comes in 2 colours : black and red or black and yellow. Some highlights of this pushchair are: a) Very stylish looking b) nicely padded seat c) 5 point harness d) Footrest e) suitable from birth-4yrs f) Matching accessories available g) Tyres h) tyre pump available to buy There is one thing that makes it different from most other pushchairs : this is the fact that it does not have a bumper bar. In my case this is great as my son uses it to pull himself up !! But if you like a bumper bar there is no way of fixing one on. I did state... Read review

Advantages: Great Offroader
Disadvantages: Very bulky for travel

...Look at all the buggies available! Confused? We were! All we wanted was a pushchair that we could take on rougher ground down at the park and on the local heathland/woods. The choice out there is enoumous and so are the price ranges. There are buggies with the super deluxe shock absorbing frame, three wheel buggies, four wheel buggies. What next, buggies with CD stackers, flat screen TV's and full surround sound? Taking a look around, we settled on the 03 Series Sport from Mamas and Papas. I would describe this as a mid to upper range pushchair. It comes in at around £300.00 if you include the travel seat for the car. The chair is very simple to put together, although it is quite bulky to fit into the average boot. We have an MPV, which is a perfect size for the chair. We have been on numerous walks in what you might describe... Read review

Advantages: Picks up animal hair ; light & easy to use ; easy to empty ; good attachments
Disadvantages: Not very powerful motor ; filters block regularly ; handle weak ;

...We bought the DC03 because we both have arthritis and found it light and easy to use. It was also marketed as the best vacuum cleaner on the market at that time (3 years ago) for dealing with pet hair. Dyson say you should change the filter once a year - we are lucky if we get two months out of one with having a dog (Rough Collie, who is regularly groomed!). Every two days we have to cut the hair from the rollers - it doesn't go through into the collection box. The handle is weak. It broke once, although Dyson did replace it free of charge. It is now cracking again. It is fairly good at cleaning the carpets, but less impressive when using the attachments. The motor simply isn't strong enough for the attachments to work. It is very poor at doing stair carpets and doesn't clean the crumbs from down the back and sides... Read review

Advantages: Great suction, good filters, fantastic looks.
Disadvantages: Brittle plastic.

...What initially attracted me to the Dyson DC03 Clear was its breath taking looks! I know that you would not normally use the word breath taking on a vac, but it really is the best looking va on the market. It is designed in bright colours that are all transparent, you get to see all the workings with the exception of inside the filter. The filters are great. They are of a standard that could be used in a hospital, they remove not only all dust particles from the air, making them suitable for asthma sufferers, but the also kill all the nasty little germs that float around our homes. The DC03 is also lighter than many of the other Dyson vacs, making it ideal for use by almost anyone. When you take the hose out, it extends out six times longer that it is, which means that you can vac up at the top of the stairs, whilst the vac... Read review

Advantages: The most addictive fun available on pc
Disadvantages: Loss of girlfriend/boyfriend if not careful

...Easy to play. Hard to master. I often run out of superlatives trying to describe the latest version in the ultimately heroic Championship Manager series. Eidos and Si Interactive, in their last game together have pulled off a phenomenal addition to the series, even more dense than ever. Fully updated for the 03/04 season, Cm 03/04 has over 40 leagues and 200,000 players to govern. Basically you can manage anywhere in the world, where everything you click is specific to that area, right down to the currency of wage if you choose and the names of the newspapers your players may be spouting off in! The training system is wonderfully detailed. You can choose what your team does every morning, mid afternoon and late afternoon, from technique practise to piggy in the middle. And it al makes a real difference to your players... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic Player and League database!
Disadvantages: It becomes an obsession!

...I have been a regular fan of Champ Man! I started off buying Champ Man for my amiga and have bought them all. Champ Man 03/04 is in a league of its own, overshadowing LMA Manager. Let me start from the top. The installation process does take a long time, but this is due to having hundreds of thousands of players within its database and the 40 odd leagues you can manage in. I recommend having a short cut placed on your desk top, because you will want to get stuck in. The first time you start champ Man, your life will never be the same, it is like a disease it takes over your life, you forget your wedding anniversairy, your birthday, your parents birthday, you forget your wifes name, you even forget that you had a wife and you can lose your job over it, it has happened to one of my colleagues. The disclaimer to the Champ Man 03... Read review
