Anyone who's followed me on Twitter will know I've was searching for the 'perfect' pushchair for Tiny Ched.
There were a few in the running in the end but none of them quite hit the spot somehow. They were either slightly too bulky, didn't come with the right extras or weren't exciting enough. I couldn't make up my mind.

| Love at first push! |
We have a travel system but frequently, especially for holidays and days out, we need a pushchair. The one we'd had previously for MC had come to the end of its life.
So, imagine my delight when the fabulously cool people from
Cosatto came to the rescue by asking if we'd like to try out their
Swift Lite Supa pushchair. The
'Little Monster' design was perfect for TC and I have to admit, I was in love with it before the box even arrived on our doorstep.
I've always loved the
Cosatto brand. Their products are fresh, funky and fabulous - what's not to love about them?
We were off on a break to Tenby last week so it was the perfect time to really put the pushchair to the test...

The
Swift Lite Supa certainly lives up to its name. It's amazingly lightweight and folds down easily to the size of a 3 year old girl! I love how the clip goes into place on its own as soon as you fold it and it has a carry handle - two things our previous pushchair didn't have. It's lightweight but it's so strong and sturdy, so much more so than our previous pushchair. What's more, it comes with a fantastic 4 year manufacturer guarantee from
Cosatto - not many companies would offer that level!
Although we were only going away for a week we had a lot of luggage! Going away on a UK break always means packing for all seasons (although we seem to luck out by selecting the perfectly sunny first week of September!) but add to that a 5 month old baby and all the trimmings you have a boot full! We managed to fit 2 medium suitcases, a large holdall, a travel cot and the
Swift Lite Supa into the car boot.

The funky design of
Cosatto products is one of their iconic features and the
'Little Monster' is no exception (there are 7 designs to choose from). When I posted pictures of the pushchair to Instagram and Twitter it was an instant hit with my followers. Being out and and about with the pushchair you can tell it's a head-turner and I've already had someone covet it. The
'Little Monster' design is carried throughout the pushchair and even underneath the hood which entertains TC no end. We haven't been able to try out the Cozy Toes yet as its been too warm but this looks fantastic on the pushchair and will be even more of a head-turner. What I really love about the Cozy Toes is that the fleecy lining goes right down inside rather than just around the top like most I've seen. Also, there are little hand warmer slots in the top so not only are little toes kept toasty warm but little hands are too! I can't wait for Winter.

TC found the pushchair so comfy. He fell asleep in it frequently and we were able to tilt the seat back until it was flat really easily. We used to battle with our previous pushchair which usually resulted in MC (our daughter) waking up. Because of the 3 position recline, the pushchair can be used from birth.
As I've said, the pushchair definitely lives up to it's name. As well as being really lightweight with a superb compact fold, the
Swift Lite Supa is fabulous to push. It's really nippy and was a dream to use in and around Tenby. We negotiated hills, bends, cobbles and the beach and it was amazing. We even got a boat across to Caldey Island and the pushchair was lifted onto the boat complete with TC still in it, whereas other people who had larger heavy pushchairs had to remove their little ones and collapse theirs.
It also took our buggy board brilliantly so we were able to push MC and TC together, with ease. In fact, the
Swift Lite Supa is actually easier to manoeuvre with the buggy board attached than our complete travel system.
So, all in all, the
Cosatto Swift Lite Supa gets the thumbs up from our whole family. TC is just so happy in it. I've also done a brief vlog below (my first one...eek - maybe next time I do one I'll actually appear in it. A bit camera shy this week!) so you can see just some of the features I love about it.
