Pushchairs: Compare features & prices Jane Trider review http://www.which.co.uk/baby-and-child/baby-transport/reviews/pushchairs/jane-trider/review/

Hope this helps!We bought the Jane Trider Matrix Light system in Aug 2012 for our newborn, with the reasons similar to yourselves. Having now bought and tried it, I can say it is an excellent newborn pushchair (haven't had the opportunity to try out the 6month+ pushchair as my son is only 4.5months old). It moves through rough terrain excellently (a major reason why i bought this). I walk my dog regularly in the woods, through mud, puddles and up uneasy steep ground. The pushchair is very sturdy and does not make any clattering noises. Folds up and down with ease! Brake is strong and holds on steep hills. Easy to manoeuvre. Cons: 1. The basket is a little on the small side, which you can only fit about 1 bag of shopping into it. If its raining and you need to carry the raincover in the basket then this really does leave you with little space to play around with. However, because the pushchair is sturdy, I have hung heavy bags of shopping on the side and still the pushchair drives well. It does not feel unbalanced or likely to topple to one side. 2. It can be a struggle to push the chair up or down a couple of stairs/stone steps. Also the third wheel can make this difficult too (although you can lock the front wheel to make it more accessible)3. Light Matrix car seat: When it is placed on the pushchair it tends to tilt slightly forward,this is just enough to let the baby gradually slide down the seat. I've often had to readjust my son's position up the seat. You can use the straps to keep them securely in place, but I found it can restrict their arm movements, such as, hand-eye coordination and putting teethers or a pacifier into their own mouth. The seat is heavy! My son is nearly 5 months and I struggle to carry the car seat from my front door to the car. For example, it is impossible for me to carry him in it from my car into the doctors surgery. It does take up a lot of room when lying in the back seats of the car. We have a medium/large size car and we can fit one person sat next to it in the back. If the seat is tilted in an upright position then two people can fit at the back with a squeeze.4. The third wheel can sometimes get stuck in a position that stops it from going forwards, you have to reverse the pushchair a little to change the direction of the front wheel in order to get it going again. (sounds more hassle than what it actually is)- minor. Perhaps this is something that happens with all 3 wheel pushchairs? I love my pushchair, and wouldn't change it. The few negative aspects I mentioned are minor ones. The pushchair feels of good sturdy quality. However, my son is nearly 5 months has more-a-less out grown the seat when its in a lying down position. I took out the cushioning inside to give him more room at round 3-4months old. This did seem to help (my son is big for his age!).
