MFM reviewer Kath put this fun-loving buggy to ultimate test by driving it through rough dirt tracks, cobbles, and grass with her newborn and she reported that "it was able to tackle all of these with ease and was enjoyable to run around in." The rear wheels are 16 inches and the lockable'swivel' wheel on the front give great stability when tackling off-road paths or uneven surfaces, and the tyres have built-in suspension for smooth riding."
Another world's first; sport verso is an amazing single-buggy that will protect your wallet in the future as it easily adapts to take two (or more!) as your family grows all within the footprint of a single buggy! The sling seats made of fabric are placed snugly inside the frame at the ideal height to distribute weight evenly. This makes for a much easier push and a lighter curb-pop.
