MFM reviewer Kath really put this fun lovin' buggy to the test while driving it across rough dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks with her infant and 3 year old. She she said "it handled everything with ease and was even enjoyable to jog on. The 16" rear wheels and locking "swivel" front wheel offer great stability for off-road paths or uneven surfaces. The tyres are also equipped with springs built-in to ensure the smoothest ride.
Sport verso is a world first. It's an amazing single buggy, however it can easily be modified to take two (or more!) once your family grows - all within the footprint of a single buggy! The fabric sling seat sits perfectly inside the frame at the ideal height to ensure a optimal weight distribution, immediately delivering a much easier push, a less hefty curb pop, and a more efficient mobility on any terrain.
