The handles are extendable and suited our 5'7” tester, her six-foot partner and six-year-old son as they all liked to get involved in pushing the buggy on days out. We also have handy guides to the best lightweight strollers, the best umbrella strollers, the best travel systems, the best double buggies and the best running buggies, all featuring product recommendations from Mumsnet users. What we love The Ocarro is very simple to put together – it took about five minutes in total – and came with easy-to-follow paper instructions for further guidance.
As for the sun hood, it is UV 50+-protected, is easy to fit and is large in size. It is also very sturdy in the wind and keeps the baby protected at all times. It looks like a cocoon when fully open, hiding the baby completely, although you will have to remove the bumper bar if you want it to fully extend. The carrycot was also very simple to open and put together and only took another five minutes to assemble.
Mamas & Papas Ocarro 9 Piece Complete Pushchair Travel Bundle Including Cybex Aton 5 Car Seat – Navy Flannel She noted that, while it was one of the heaviest travel systems on test, it felt light to push and turns easily, making it easy to push round corners, take on public transport or weave through crowds on busy high streets. Full instructions for cleaning come with the buggy so be sure to follow the manufacturers recommendations. While the cover can be unzipped and removed, cleaning with a damp cloth only is advised. Take your family adventures further with the award-winning Ocarro, our ultimate all-terrain travel system. With robust comfort for your little one and a compact one-hand fold, the Ocarro pushchair and co-ordinating accessories are ideal for taking baby to country parks, down suburban streets or into town. To lift the carrycot out of the frame, you simply use lever at the front of the buggy so there’s no chance of jolting awake a sleeping baby. Our tester’s baby loved this carrycot and was always really happy to be popped in for a walk.
After a week of hardcore challenges, the buggy still looked great with no sign of wear, even on the wheels. A standout feature of the buggy, however, is its dual suspension. It easily goes up and down kerbs and our tester barely felt any bumps when pushing it around day-to-day. The suspension swallowed up bumpy football fields and even went on a 5K park run, which it handled effortlessly. Age Suitability: Pushchair: Birth to 22kg or up to 4 years, Carrycot: Birth to 9kg, Car Seat: 0 to 13 kg (approx. 18 months) Our tester loved how the Ocarro folded. It flips in half to a standing position, rather like the Bugaboo Fox but with slightly fewer steps. It folds relatively small considering the size of chassis and there is a convenient carry handle to make the 13kg weight slightly more bearable. We tested the sage green colour, which looked really smart and drew lots of admiring glances on the school run.
The Ocarro comes with a sunshade hood as standard for both the seat and carrycot as well as a separate carrycot and rain cover. The seat and carrycot fit straight to the chassis with no adapters needed. A rain cover is also included as standard and fits nice and snugly to ensure the rain is kept out no matter how strong the downpour. When folded, it doesn’t take a lot of space, so you can keep it stored in the basket at all times. Care & Maintenance: Pushchair & Changing Bag: Wipe clean only, Carrycot: Wipe clean only except mattress fitted sheet which is machine washable, Footmuff: Machine washable When it comes to balance and stability, the Ocarro passed with flying colours. Our tester loaded bags onto the handlebars and it didn’t feel unbalanced at all, with or without a child in the seat. The Ocarro also comes with care instructions and warranty details. Mamas & Papas offer a two-year warranty on all their products and their customer service team can be reached using a telephone number or a web form.
Our tester noted the seat was quite slim and her chunky seven-month-old looked like he filled the seat, while her 26-month-old niece would just about fit. When it comes to busy family life, the Ocarro is a useful addition. Attaching the seat to the chassis in place of the carrycot (and vice versa) is simple and changing the seat angle is also a breeze – there is a designated handle used to alternate between the three seat positions: upright, lie flat and tilted. The leg rest also has two positions and is easy to adjust, too. Weight: Pushchair: 13.7kg, Carrycot: 5.2kg, Car Seat: 4.8kg approx, Car Seat Base: 5.3kg, Footmuff: 0.81kg, Parasol: 0.47kgIt was tested on different inclines while out walking in town and in the countryside and always gripped well, never once allowing the pushchair to roll. With an easy-fit clamp, our Essentials Parasol offers a secure fit to your pushchair and great protection from the sun. The adjustable arm is incredibly flexible, letting you choose a position you’re happy with and giving your little one better protection from the sun. The fibreglass frame gives the parasol more strength, while the specially designed grip means a tight and secure fit to your pushchair. Make fitting your car seat (sold separately) fuss-free with the Cybex Aton 2 Fix base. You can use this Cybex base to fit your little one’s car seat or carrier securely for total peace of mind. The five-point harness for the seat is very secure and can be tightened to fit snugly with no risk of child wiggling their arms out. However, our tester found it was really stiff and she struggled with both clipping it together and trying to release the straps for a larger child. Once done up, it is well-padded though.

Mamas & Papas' Ocarro has a generously-sized storage basket, which comfortably holds at least three shopping bags. On family days out, it can easily hold a changing bag, rain cover, food shopping and an extra bag of baby travel toys, which is no mean feat.
Product Features
The Ocarro is a bigger version of the Mamas & Papas Armadillo, which makes it larger and heavier than some on test, for example the super lightweight Maxi-Cosi Zelia. The pram can be folded with the seat still attached in both front-facing and parent-facing mode. Our tester liked that she could fold the pushchair with the seat still attached as most we tested needed to be removed completely.
