Add in a bump, a cobble or a stone and my baby seemed to feel every single impact. Give this buggy a relatively flat, smooth road and it rides like a dream. I enjoyed pushing it immensely! It’s nifty and light and that was heavenly for me! Being able to push it one-handed is also a big bonus as I have a dog that I sometimes walk with the baby. How easy is the Red Kite Push Me Fusion to push? I get quite tired from pushing our other buggy because it’s on the heavier side but I didn’t have that problem with the Red Kite Push Me Fusion. It is beautifully lightweight and easy to bump up and down kerbs too. How lightweight is the Red Kite Push Me Fusion? These buttons are on the handlebar, but fear not, there’s no way you’ll accidentally press them and collapse it! You do have to remove the seat element to collapse it, but that comes off with a slide up button on either side of the seat. The steps are simple though: you press a small button and then a big button and then fold.
It feels awkward to collapse down, and when folded it isn’t the easiest thing to transport either as it’s quite heavy and cumbersome. You need two hands, no matter how deft you are. How does the Red Kite Push Me Fusion fold?Ī big downside of this buggy is that you can’t fold it one-handed. Yes, very comfortable –Vivienne looked really happy in it, as it’s super plush and cosy. Does the carrycot seem comfortable for babies? You can also add a foot rest for your child by pushing the two big buttons on either side of the chassis. You can also use the button to tilt it more or less, depending on the baby’s preference. To convert the seat to a carrycot and vice versa, you simply pull up a button at the head of the seat, and tilt it – it’s that simple. Once you’ve done it a few times it’s super easy and it doesn’t take a genius to figure it out. This process is relatively simple, despite the lack of instructions. How easy is it to convert the seat to the carrycot and back again? Of course, this would be fine for an older baby or toddler. I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable putting a newborn in it – it simply feels far too big and roomy, and unsafe. Does the seat unit seem comfortable for a new baby?įor me, the seat unit felt far too big for my 4-week old daughter Vivienne, who admittedly is on the smaller scale. The Red Kite Push Me Fusion is suitable from birth to 15kg, so around 3 years. What age is the Red Kite Push Me Fusion suitable for? It also seemed quite flimsy in comparison. How does the Red Kite Push Me Fusion compare to other travel systems you have tried?Īs a first-time mum I’ve got limited experience of other travel systems but compared to our other pushchair (the Graco Evo, bought second hand) it unfortunately felt quite clunky, despite looking a lot more sleek. I really liked that the carrycot converted into the seat, rather than being a separate unit, which is very handy when you have limited space (something that seems to happen however big your house is when you have a baby!). It also appeared comfortable, with a plush carrycot, car seat and seat unit that I was sure my baby was going to love. The quality looked top notch and the whole system seemed pretty sleek. When I first got it out the box, I thought it looked really nifty and stylish. What were your first impressions of the travel system? They tested it out in their town, in the supermarket and for walks with the dog as well as on trips on the train and a few car journeys. She tested the Red Kit Push Me Fusion in Onyx with her 4-week old daughter Vivienne. Tested by:Ĭarla is a first-time mum from Hertfordshire.
I’d never heard of Red Kite but was keen to try out a travel system that wasn’t going to cost the earth, especially if it could be used for quite a few years.

The travel system holds its own against some of the market’s biggest names, who offer options of their own at much higher price tags, such as the Mamas & Papas Ocarro pushchair, the Bugaboo Bee5 stroller, the Joie Mytrax and the Cosatto Wow Travel System.Ī big plus point is that while other brands don’t always include all of the parts in their standard bundle, the Red Kite Push Me Fusion system includes a carrycot (that converts into a seat unit) and a car seat plus the chassis.
